Josué 15:15 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 15:15

And he went up from thence to the inhabitants of Debir
Having conquered Hebron, and got possession of that, Caleb marched to Debir, a city not many miles from Hebron, and seems to have been in the country, and part of the land, which was given him; of which (See Gill on Joshua 10:38);

and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjathsepher;
or "the city of books"; either a place of literature, a sort of an academy, or where was a public library; the Targum calls it Kirjatharche, or the city of the archives, in which were laid up the public records of the Canaanites; the same is called Kirjathsannah for the like reason, (See Gill on Joshua 15:49).

Josué 15:15 In-Context

13 Deu-se, porém, a Calebe, filho de Jefoné, uma porção no meio dos filhos de Judá, conforme a ordem do Senhor a Josué, a saber, Quiriate-Arba, que é Hebrom (Arba era o pai de Anaque).

14 E Calebe expulsou dali os três filhos de Anaque: Sesai, Aimã e Talmai, descendentes de Anaque.

15 Dali subiu contra os habitantes de Debir. Ora, o nome de Debir era dantes Quiriate-Sefer.

16 Disse então Calebe: A quem atacar Quiriate-Sefer e a tomar, darei a minha filha Acsa por mulher.

17 Tomou-a, pois, Otniel, filho de Quenaz, irmão de Calebe; e este lhe deu a sua filha Acsa por mulher.
