Joshua 15:17-19

Achsah


Read the story below or listen to it told (sound card required)



Caleb said,
"Whoever attacks Kiriath-sepher and takes it,
to him I will give my daughter Achsah as wife."

Othniel son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it;
and he gave him his daughter Achsah as wife.

When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field.
As she dismounted from her donkey, Caleb said to her,
"What do you wish?"

She said to him,
"Give me a present.
Since you have set me in the land of the Negeb,
give me springs of water as well."
So Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
