Judges 1:10-15

10Then they went to fight the Canaanites who lived at Hebron. (In the past Hebron was called Kiriath Arba.) There they killed Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

11From there Judah’s troops went to fight the people living at Debir. (In the past Debir was called Kiriath Sepher.)

12Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Achsah as a wife to whoever defeats Kiriath Sepher and captures it.”

13Then Othniel, son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz, captured it. So Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as a wife.

14When 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?”

15She 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.
