Joshua 15:13-14

Judah’s Inheritance, Caleb’s Possession, and the Unfinished Hold of Jerusalem

Judah receives its allotted territory by boundary and city list, Caleb drives out the Anakim from Hebron, Othniel captures Kiriath Sepher, Achsah receives springs, and the chapter closes by noting that Jerusalem remains unconquered by Judah.

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.
