Joshua 15:14-63

14And 1Caleb 2drove out from there the three 3sons of Anak: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15Then 4he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir previously was Kiriath-sepher. 16And Caleb said, “The one who 5attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, 6I will give him Achsah my daughter as a wife.” 177Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it; so he gave him Achsah his daughter as a wife. 188And 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 9Negev, give me springs of water also.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

20This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families.

21Now the cities at the extremity of the tribe of the sons of Judah toward the border of Edom in the south were Kabzeel, 10Eder, and Jagur, 22Kinah, Dimonah, and Adadah, 23Kedesh, Hazor, and Ithnan, 24Ziph, Telem, and Bealoth, 25Hazor-hadattah, Kerioth-hezron (that is, Hazor), 26Amam, Shema, and Moladah, 27Hazar-gaddah, Heshmon, and Beth-pelet, 28Hazar-shual, 11Beersheba, and Biziothiah, 29Baalah, Iim, and Ezem, 30Eltolad, Chesil, and Hormah, 3112Ziklag, Madmannah, and Sansannah, 32Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon; in all, twenty-nine cities with their villages.

33In the lowland: 13Eshtaol, Zorah, and Ashnah, 34Zanoah, En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam, 35Jarmuth, 14Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah, 36Shaaraim, Adithaim, Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages.

37Zenan, Hadashah, and Migdal-gad, 38Dilean, Mizpeh, and Joktheel, 3915Lachish, Bozkath, and Eglon, 40Cabbon, Lahmas, and Chitlish, 41Gederoth, Beth-dagon, Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages.

42Libnah, Ether, and Ashan, 43Iphtah, Ashnah, and Nezib, 44Keilah, Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages.

45Ekron, with its towns and its villages; 46from Ekron even to the sea, all that were by the 16side of Ashdod, with their villages.

47Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza, its towns and its villages, as far as 17the 18brook of Egypt and the Great Sea, even its 19coastline.

48In the hill country: Shamir, Jattir, and Socoh, 49Dannah, Kiriath-sannah (that is, Debir), 50Anab, Eshtemoh, Anim, 51Goshen, Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages.

52Arab, Dumah, and Eshan, 53Janum, Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah, 54Humtah, Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), and Zior; nine cities with their villages.

55Maon, Carmel, Ziph, and Juttah, 56Jezreel, Jokdeam, and Zanoah, 57Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages.

58Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor, 59Maarath, Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their villages.

60Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim), and Rabbah; two cities with their villages.

61In the wilderness: Beth-arabah, Middin, and Secacah, 62Nibshan, the City of Salt, and Engedi; six cities with their villages.

63Now as for the 20Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the sons of Judah could not 21drive them out; so the Jebusites live with the sons of Judah in Jerusalem to this day.
