4. When Judah went up, the Lord handed them the Canaanites and Perizzites. They defeated ten thousand men at Bezek.
5. There they found Adoni-bezek at Bezek, fought against him, and defeated the Canaanites and Perizzites.
6. Adoni-bezek fled, but they chased after him, captured him, and cut off his thumbs and big toes.
7. He said, "Seventy kings with severed thumbs and big toes used to pick up scraps under my table, so God has paid me back exactly for what I did." They brought him to Jerusalem, where he died.
8. The people of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it. They killed its people with their swords and set the city on fire.
9. Afterward, the people of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the highlands, the southern plain, and the western foothills.
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.
