2 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea from the bay that looketh southward

12 And the west border was to the great sea and the coast thereof This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families

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 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai the children of Anak

15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher

16 And Caleb said He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher and taketh it to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife

17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz the brother of Caleb took it and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife

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
