13Now 1he gaveH5414 to CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 a portionH2506 2amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063, accordingH413 to the 3commandH6310 of the LordH3068 to JoshuaH3091, namely, 4Kiriath-arbaH7153, Arba being the fatherH1 of AnakH6061 (that is, HebronH2275).

145CalebH3612 6droveH3423 out from thereH8033 the threeH7969 7sonsH1121 of AnakH6061: SheshaiH8344 and AhimanH289 and TalmaiH8526, the childrenH3211 of AnakH6061.

15Then 8he wentH5927 up from thereH8033 againstH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of DebirH1688; now the nameH8034 of DebirH1688 formerlyH6440 was Kiriath-sepherH7158.

16And CalebH3612 saidH559, “The one whoH834 9attacksH5221 Kiriath-sepherH7158 and capturesH3920 it, 10I will giveH5414 him AchsahH5915 my daughterH1323 as a wifeH802.”

1711OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of KenazH7073, the brotherH251 of CalebH3612, capturedH3920 it; so he gaveH5414 him AchsahH5915 his daughterH1323 as a wifeH802.
