Judges 1:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Judges 1:14

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.

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.
