Expanded Bible

¹⁵ Acsah answered him, “·Do me a special favor [^LGive me a blessing]. Since you have given me land in ·southern Canaan [^Lthe Negev], also give me springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs [Josh. 15:19].

Fights with the Canaanites

¹⁶ The ·Kenite people, who were from the family of [^Lsons/descendants of the Kenite] Moses’ father-in-law [Ex. 2:16], left the city of palm trees [^CJericho]. They went with the men of Judah to the ·Desert [Wilderness] of Judah to live with them there in ·southern Judah [^Lthe Negev] near the city of Arad.

¹⁷ The men of Judah and the men of Simeon [1:3], their ·relatives [brothers], defeated the Canaanites who lived in Zephath. They ·completely destroyed the city [devoted it to the Lord for destruction; see Josh. 2:10; 6:17–19], so they called it Hormah [^Csounds like Hebrew for “total destruction”].
