Joshua 15:13-16

13Now 1he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion 2among the sons of Judah, in accordance with the 3command of the Lord to Joshua, namely, 4Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron).

14And 5Caleb 6drove out from there the three 7sons of Anak: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

15Then 8he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir previously was Kiriath-sepher.

16And Caleb said, “The one who 9attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, 10I will give him Achsah my daughter as a wife.”
