11. From there Judah’s troops went to fight the people living at Debir. (In the past Debir was called Kiriath Sepher.)
12. Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Achsah as a wife to whoever defeats Kiriath Sepher and captures it.”
13. Then Othniel, son of Caleb’s younger brother Kenaz, captured it. So Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as a wife.
14. When she came to Othniel, she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. When she got down from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?”
15. She answered, “Give me a blessing. Since you’ve given me some dry land, also give me some springs.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
16. The descendants of Moses’ father-in-law, the Kenite, went with the people of Judah from the City of Palms into the desert of Judah. There they lived with the people of Judah in the Negev near Arad.
