13According to the LORD's command to him, Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah—Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)
14And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak—the descendants of Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
“Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak, Shishai and Ahimon and Ptolemy, the children of Anak.”
“And Caleb, 15 -14, drove thence the three sons of Anak, Shishai, and Haman, and Telmai, the children of Anak.”
15From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).

16And Caleb said, "To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage."
“And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kerjoth's sepher and taketh it to him will I give Aksah, my daughter, to wife.”
“And Caleb said, The one who attacks Kiriath -sephir and captures it, I will give him Akshah my daughter as a wife.”
“And Caleb said, He that smiteth Curjath's sepher, and taketh it to him will I give Aksa, my daughter, to wife.”
17So Othniel son of Caleb's brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
“Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it. So he gave him Akshah his daughter as a wife.”
“and verse 17 Orthoniel the son of Kinez the brother of Caleb took it and he gave him Axta his daughter to wife.”
“And Asniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it, and he gave him Aksa, his daughter, to wife.”
18One day Acsah came to Othniel and urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, "What do you desire?"
“it came about that when she came to him, she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she alighted from the donkey and Caleb said to her, What do you want?”
“And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field. And she laid it over her ass, and Caleb said unto her, What wouldst thou?”
19"Give me a blessing," she answered. "Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water as well." So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.
“Then she said, Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negev, give me also the springs of water. So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.”
20This is the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Judah.

63But the descendants of Judah could not drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. So to this day the Jebusites live there among the descendants of Judah.
“But the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the people of Judah could not drive out. So the Jebusites dwell with the people of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.”
