 [13 ](/kjv/joshua/15/13) ¶ And unto 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.*
 
 [14 ](/kjv/joshua/15/14) And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/joshua/15/15) And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before *was* Kirjath-sepher.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/joshua/15/16) ¶ And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/joshua/15/17) And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/joshua/15/18) And it came to pass, as she came *unto him*, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off *her* ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?
 
 [19 ](/kjv/joshua/15/19) Who 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.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/joshua/15/20) This *is* the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.
