Judges 1:14-16
Easy-to-Read Version
14 Acsah went to live with Othniel. Othniel told Acsah[a] to ask her father for some land. She went to her father. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What is wrong?”
15 Acsah answered him, “Give me a blessing.[b] You gave me dry desert land in the Negev. Please give me some land with water on it.” So Caleb gave her what she wanted. He gave her the upper and lower pools of water in that land.
16 The Kenites left the City of Palm Trees[c] and went with the men of Judah. They went to the desert of Judah to live with the people there. This was in the Negev near the city Arad. (The Kenites were from the family of Moses’ father-in-law.)
