Joshua 15:11-45

11Then the border proceeded to the side of Ekron northward. And the border turned to Shikkeron and continued to Mount Baalah and proceeded to Jabneel, and the 1border ended at the sea. 12The western 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, in accordance with the 6command of the Lord to Joshua, namely, 7Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron). 14And 8Caleb 9drove out from there the three 10sons of Anak: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15Then 11he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir previously 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. 1815And it happened that when she came to him, she incited him to ask her father for a field. So she dismounted 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 springs of water also.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
