Judges 1:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 1:10

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.

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.
