7 And Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings with their thumbs and big toes cut off used to gather scraps under my table; aas I have done, so God has repaid me.” Then they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
8 Now athe children of Judah fought against Jerusalem and took it; they struck it with the edge of the sword and set the city on fire.
9 aAnd afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who dwelt in the mountains, in the1 South, and in the lowland.
10 Then Judah1 went against the Canaanites who dwelt in aHebron. (Now the name of Hebron was formerly bKirjath Arba.) And they killed Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 aFrom there they went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir was formerly Kirjath Sepher.)
12 aThen Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give my daughter Achsah as wife.”
13 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, aCaleb’s younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah as wife.
