Judges 1:9-13

9Then they went down to fight the Canaanites living in the hill country, the Negev, and the western foothills.

10Judah marched against the Canaanites in Hebron (formerly called Kiriath-arba), defeating the forces of Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

11From there they went to fight against the people living in the town of Debir (formerly called Kiriath-sepher).

12Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to the one who attacks and captures Kiriath-sepher.”

13Othniel, the son of Caleb’s younger brother, Kenaz, was the one who conquered it, so Acsah became Othniel’s wife.
