Joshua 15:13-19

13 Now 1he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion 2among the sons of Judah, according to the command of the LORD to Joshua, namely, Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron ).
14 3Caleb drove out from there the three 4sons of Anak: Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15 Then 5he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher.
16 And Caleb said, "The one who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give him Achsah my daughter as a wife."
17 6Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it; so he gave him Achsah his daughter as a wife.
18 7It came about that when she came to him, she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she alighted from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you want?"
19 Then she said, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land of the Negev, give me also springs of water." So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
