Judges 1:11-17
11Then 1from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir (the name of Debir was previously Kiriath-sepher). 12And Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give him my daughter Achsah as a wife.” 13Now 2Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, captured it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah as a wife. 14Then 3it happened that when she came to him, she incited him to ask her father for a field. Then later, she dismounted from 4her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What 5do you want?” 15She said to him, “Give me a blessing: since you have given me the land of the 6Negev, give me springs of water also.” So Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
16Now the 7descendants of 8the Kenite, Moses’ father-in-law, went up from the 9city of palms with the sons of Judah, to the wilderness of Judah which is in the south of 10Arad; and they went and lived with the people. 17Then Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they struck the Canaanites living in Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called 11Hormah.
