Judges 1:8-12 New Century Version (NCV)

8. Then the men of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it. They attacked with their swords and burned the city.

9. Later, they went down to fight the Canaanites who lived in the mountains, in the dry country to the south, and in the western hills.

10. The men of Judah went to fight against the Canaanites in the city of Hebron (which used to be called Kiriath Arba). And they defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

11. Then they left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir. (In the past Debir had been called Kiriath Sepher.)

12. Before attacking the city, Caleb said, “I will give Acsah, my daughter, as a wife to the man who attacks and captures the city of Kiriath Sepher.”
