Othniel, who takes Kiriath Sepher, and Achsah, who asks for springs of water
기럇 세벨을 취한 옷니엘과 샘물을 구한 악사
Judges 1:11–15: 1:11 reads, “From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (The name of Debir before that was Kiriath Sepher.)” Caleb says, “I will give Achsah my daughter as wife to the man who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it.” Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, takes it, so Caleb gives him Achsah his daughter as his wife. When she comes, she gets him to ask her father for a field. She gets off her donkey; and Caleb says to her, “What would you like?” She says to him, “Give me a blessing; because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” Then Caleb gives her the upper springs and the lower springs. The Korean Revised Version names no speaker at 1:15.
