Joshua 15:14-19 Common English Bible (CEB)

14. Caleb removed the three sons of Anak from there: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai. They were the offspring of Anak.

15. Then he went up from there against the population of Debir. Debir used to be called Kiriath-sepher.

16. Caleb said, "I will give Achsah my daughter in marriage to whoever strikes Kiriath-sepher and captures it."

17. So Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, captured it, and Caleb gave him Achsah his daughter in marriage.

18. Now when she arrived, she prodded Othniel into asking for a field from her father. After she got down off her donkey, Caleb asked her, "What do you want?"

19. She said, "Give me a blessing. Since the land you’ve given me is in the arid southern plain, you should also give me springs of water." So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
