13
And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part in the midst of the sons of Judah , according to▵ the mouth of Jehovah to Joshua , the walled··city of Arba* the father of the Anak; it◦ is Hebron .
14
And Caleb dispossessed thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15
And he went··up thence to▵ those who dwelt in Debir; and the name of Debir before was Kiriath-sepher.
16
And Caleb said ; He that smites Kiriath-sepher and captures her, then to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife .
17
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb , captured it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife .
18
And it was when she came , that she incited him to ask from her father a field ; and she got··down from upon the donkey , and Caleb said to her, What wilt thou◦ have◦?
19
And she said , Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a land of the south ; Give me also wellsprings of waters. And he gave to her the upper wellsprings and the lower◦ wellsprings.
