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. 1812It cameH1961 about that when she cameH935 to him, she persuadedH5496 him to askH7592 her fatherH1 for a fieldH7704. So she alightedH6795 from the donkeyH2543, and CalebH3612 saidH559 to her, “WhatH4100 do you want?” 19Then she saidH559, “GiveH5414 me a blessingH1293; sinceH3588 you have givenH5414 me the landH776 of the 13NegevH5045, giveH5414 me also springsH1543 of waterH4325.” So he gaveH5414 her the upperH5942 springsH1543 and the lowerH8482 springsH1543.

20ThisH2088 is the inheritanceH5159 of the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 according to their familiesH4940.
