Joshua 15:13-19
13Caleb son of Jephunneh was assigned Kiriath Arba (that is Hebron) within the tribe of Judah, according to the Lord’s instructions to Joshua. (Arba was the father of Anak.)
14Caleb drove out from there three Anakites – Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, descendants of Anak.
15From there he attacked the people of Debir. (Debir used to be called Kiriath Sepher.)
16Caleb said, “To the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher I will give my daughter Acsah as a wife.”
17When Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, captured it, Caleb gave Acsah his daughter to him as a wife.
18One time Acsah came and charmed her father so that she could ask him for some land. When she got down from her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”
19She answered, “Please give me a special present. Since you have given me land in the Negev, now give me springs of water. So he gave her both upper and lower springs.
