Judges 1:8-14 Common English Bible (CEB)

8. The people of Judah fought against Jerusalem and captured it. They killed its people with their swords and set the city on fire.

9. Afterward, the people of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the highlands, the southern plain, and the western foothills.

10. Judah moved against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron, known before as Kiriath-arba, and they defeated Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.

11. From there they moved against those who lived in Debir, known before as Kiriath-sepher.

12. Caleb said, "I’ll give my daughter Achsah as a wife to the one who defeats and captures Kiriath-sepher."

13. Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, captured it; so Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as a wife.

14. When she arrived, she convinced Othniel to ask her father for a certain piece of land. As she got down from her donkey, Caleb said to her, "What do you want?"
