Joshua 15:13-19

New Life Version

¹³ Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh a share among the people of Judah, as the Lord told him. It was Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), named for Arba, the father of Anak. ¹⁴ Caleb drove away from there the three sons of Anak. The children of Anak were Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai. ¹⁵ From there he went to fight against the people of Debir. The name of Debir had been Kiriath-sepher before. ¹⁶ Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Achsah as a wife to the one who fights against Kiriath-sepher and takes it.” ¹⁷ Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, took it. So Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as a wife. ¹⁸ When she came to Othniel, she talked him into asking her father for a field. When she got down off her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” ¹⁹ Achsah answered, “Give me a gift. You have given me the land of the Negev. Give me wells of water also.” So Caleb gave her the wells in the high-land and in the valley.
