Judges 1:9-13

9After that, the men of Judah went to fight the Canaanites who lived in the mountains, the Negev, and the foothills.

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.
