2And their south border was from the shore of the salt-sea, from the bay that looketh southward:Select Joshua 15:2

12And the west border [was] to the great sea, and its coast: this [is] the border of the children of Judah round about, according to their families.Select Joshua 15:12

13And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, [even] the city of Arba the father of Anak, which [city is] Hebron.Select Joshua 15:13

14And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.Select Joshua 15:14

15And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjath-sepher.Select Joshua 15:15

16And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife.Select Joshua 15:16

17And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.Select Joshua 15:17

18And it came to pass, as she came [to him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field. And she lighted off [her] ass; and Caleb said to her, What wouldst thou?Select Joshua 15:18

19Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.Select Joshua 15:19
