Joshua 15:16

Caleb’s Portion and Conquest

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.”17So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.
