Judges 1:11-15

International Standard Version

The Capture of Debir^(A)

¹¹ The army of Judah then proceeded to attack the inhabitants of Debir, which used to be known as Kiriath-sepher. ¹² Caleb announced, “I’ll give my daughter Achsah in marriage to whomever leads the attack against Kiriath-sepher and captures it.” ¹³ Othniel, Caleb’s nephew through his younger brother Kenaz, captured the city, so Caleb^[a] awarded him his daughter Achsah in marriage.

¹⁴ Later on, after she had arrived, she urged Othniel^[b] to ask her father for a field. As she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want^[c] for yourself?”

¹⁵ “I want this blessing from you,” she replied. “Since you’ve given me land in the Negev,^[d] give me water springs, too.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.
