Judges 1:11-15
11From there they attacked the people of Debir. (Debir used to be called Kiriath Sepher.)
12Caleb said, “To the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher I will give my daughter Acsah as a wife.”
13When Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, captured it, Caleb gave him his daughter Acsah as a wife.
14One time Acsah came and charmed her father so she could ask him for some land. When she got down from her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”
15She answered, “Please give me a special present. Since you have given me land in the Negev, now give me springs of water.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.
