Joshua 15:13-19
13Joshua gave Caleb, son of Jephunneh, a share of land among the people of Judah as the Lord had told them. It was Kiriath Arba (now called Hebron). Arba was the father of Anak.
14Caleb forced out Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, three descendants of Anak from Hebron.
15From there he marched against the people living in Debir. (In the past Debir was called Kiriath Sepher.)
16Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Achsah as a wife to anyone who attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it.”
17Then Othniel, son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured it. So Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as a wife.
18When she came to Othniel, she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. When she got down from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?”
19She answered, “Give me a blessing. Since you’ve given me some dry land, also give me some springs.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
