Joshua 15:16-19

Living Bible

¹⁶ Caleb said that he would give his daughter Achsah to be the wife of anyone who would go and capture Kiriath-sepher. ¹⁷ Othniel (son of Kenaz), Caleb’s nephew, was the one who conquered it, so Achsah became Othniel’s wife. ^18-19 As she was leaving with him, she urged him to ask her father for an additional field as a wedding present.^[a] She got off her donkey to speak to Caleb about this.

“What is it? What can I do for you?” he asked.

And she replied, “Give me another present! For the land you gave me is a desert. Give us some springs too!” Then he gave her the upper and lower springs.
