Judges 1:9-15

New Catholic Bible

⁹ After this, the Judahites went down to fight against the Canaanites living in the hill country, the Negeb, and the western slopes. ¹⁰ They advanced against the Canaanites living in Hebron (which had previously been called Kiriath-arba). They defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai. ¹¹ From there they marched against the people who were living in Debir (which had previously been called Kiriath-sepher).

¹² Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Achsah as a wife to whomever attacks and captures Kiriath-sepher.” ¹³ Othniel, the son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb captured it, and he gave him Achsah his daughter in marriage.

¹⁴ When she came to be with him, she urged him to ask her father for a field. As she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?” ¹⁵ She answered, “Please do me a favor. You have given me land in the Negeb. Please also give me some springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
