Joshua 15:11-45

11The border proceeded to the side of Ekron northward. Then the border curved to Shikkeron and continued to Mount Baalah and proceeded to Jabneel, and the 1border ended at the sea. 12The west border was 2at the Great Sea, even its 3coastline. This is the border around the sons of Judah according to their families.

13Now 4he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion 5among the sons of Judah, according to the 6command of the Lord to Joshua, namely, 7Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron). 148Caleb 9drove out from there the three 10sons of Anak: Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15Then 11he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher. 16And Caleb said, “The one who 12attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, 13I will give him Achsah my daughter as a wife.” 1714Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it; so he gave him Achsah his daughter as a wife. 1815It came about that when she came to him, she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she alighted from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” 19Then she said, “Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land of the 16Negev, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
