New Testament

Judges 1:10-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

10. Judah moved against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron, known before as Kiriath-arba, and they defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

11. From there they moved against those who lived in Debir, known before as Kiriath-sepher.

12. Caleb said, "I’ll give my daughter Achsah as a wife to the one who defeats and captures Kiriath-sepher."

13. Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, captured it; so Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as a wife.

14. When she arrived, she convinced Othniel to ask her father for a certain piece of land. As she got down from her donkey, Caleb said to her, "What do you want?"

15. Achsah said to Caleb, "Give me a gift. Since you’ve given me land in the southern plain, give me springs of water." So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
