14 aNow it happened, when she came to him, that1 she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you wish?”
15 So she said to him, a“Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water.” And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
16 aNow the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father-in-law, went up bfrom the City of Palms with the children of Judah into the Wilderness of Judah, which lies in the South near cArad; dand they went and dwelt among the people.
17 aAnd Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they attacked the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called bHormah.
18 Also Judah took aGaza with its territory, Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory.
19 So the Lord was with Judah. And they drove out the mountaineers, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had achariots of iron.
20 aAnd they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. Then he1 expelled from there the bthree sons of Anak.
