12 Caleb said, "I’ll give my daughter Achsah as a wife to the one who defeats and captures Kiriath-sepher."
13 Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, captured it; so Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as a wife.
14 When she arrived, she convinced Othniel to ask her father for a certain piece of land. As she got down from her donkey, Caleb said to her, "What do you want?"
15 Achsah said to Caleb, "Give me a gift. Since you’ve given me land in the southern plain, 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 people of Judah from Palm City into the Judean desert, which was in the southern plain near Arad. They went and lived with the Amalekites.
17 Then the Judahites went with the Simeonites, their brothers, and they defeated the Canaanites who lived in Zephath, and they completely destroyed it. So the city was called Hormah.
18 Judah also captured Gaza, Ashkelon, Ekron, and all their territories.
