Joshua 14:12-15

12Now give me this mountain region which the Lord spoke of that day. You heard that the people of Anak are still there and that they have large, fortified cities. If the Lord is with me, I can force them out, as he promised.”

13So Joshua blessed Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and gave him Hebron as his inheritance.

14Hebron is still the inheritance of Caleb, son of Jephunneh and grandson of Kenaz, because Caleb was completely loyal to the Lord God of Israel.

15In the past Hebron was called Kiriath Arba. Arba was the greatest man among the people of Anak. So the land had peace.
