11. From there they went against the inhabitants of Debir (previously the name of Debir was Kiriath Sepher).
12. Caleb said, “He who attacks Kiriath Sepher and takes it, I will give him my daughter Aksah as wife.”
13. Othniel son of Kenaz, the younger brother of Caleb, captured it. So Caleb gave him Aksah his daughter in marriage.
14. When she came to Othniel, she urged him to ask her father for a field. As she dismounted from her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What can I do for you?”
15. She answered, “Please give me a special gift. Since you have given me land in the Negev, now give me springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.
16. The descendants of Moses’ father-in-law, the Kenite, went up with the descendants of Judah from the City of Palms to the Negev near Arad. Then they went and lived with the people.
17. But Judah went with his brother Simeon and struck down the Canaanites living in Zephath and utterly destroyed it. So now they call the city Hormah.
18. Then Judah captured Gaza, Ashkelon, Ekron, and the territory belonging to each of these cities.
19. The Lord was with Judah, and they took the hill country but could not drive out the inhabitants of the coastal plain, for they had iron chariots.
20. They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove out the three sons of Anak.
21. However, the tribe of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites live with the tribe of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22. The descendants of Joseph went up against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
23. The descendants of Joseph sent spies into Bethel (the former name of the city was Luz).
