And now, behold, the LORD has caused me to live, as he said, these forty-five years from the time that the LORD spoke these words unto Moses, while Israel has walked in the wilderness; and now, behold, I
am this day eighty-five years old.
11
As yet I
am as strong today as
I was in the day that Moses sent me; as my strength
was then, even so
is my strength now, for war and to go out and to come in.
12
Now, therefore, give me this mountain, of which the LORD spoke in that day; for thou didst hear in that day how the Anakims
were there and
that the cities
were great
and strong; peradventure, the LORD
will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as the LORD said.

Hebron, therefore, became the inheritance of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, unto this day because he entirely followed the LORD God of Israel.
15
And the name of Hebron before
was Kirjatharba;
Arba had been a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
