Joshua 14:12-15

12Now, assign me this hill country which the Lord promised me at that time! No doubt you heard at that time that the Anakites live there in large, fortified cities. But, assuming the Lord is with me, I will conquer them, as the Lord promised.”

13Joshua asked God to empower Caleb son of Jephunneh and assigned him Hebron.

14So Hebron remains the assigned land of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this very day because he remained loyal to the Lord God of Israel.

15(Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba. Arba was a famous Anakite.) Then the land was free of war.
