*
And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites ,
that dwelt in the mountain ,
and in the south ,
and in the valley .
*
And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron : (
now the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba :)
and they slew Sheshai ,
and Ahiman ,
and Talmai .
*
And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir :
and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher :
*
And Caleb said ,
He that smiteth Kirjathsepher ,
and taketh it ,
to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife .
*
And Othniel the son of Kenaz ,
Caleb '
s younger brother ,
took it :
and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife .
*
And it came to pass ,
when she came to him ,
that she moved him to ask of her father a field :
and she lighted from off her ass ;
and Caleb said unto her ,
What wilt thou ?
*
And she said unto him ,
Give me a blessing :
for thou hast given me a south land ;
give me also springs of water .
And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs .
*
And the children of the Kenite ,
Moses '
father in law ,
went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah ,
which lieth in the south of Arad ;
and they went and dwelt among the people .
*
And Judah went with Simeon his brother ,
and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath ,
and utterly destroyed it .
And the name of the city was called Hormah .
*
Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof ,
and Askelon with the coast thereof ,
and Ekron with the coast thereof .
*
And the LORD was with Judah ;
and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain ;
but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley ,
because they had chariots of iron .
*
And they gave Hebron unto Caleb ,
as Moses said :
and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak .
