Verse 14 is found in chapter 1 of Judges. Judah’s campaign continues toward Hebron and Debir. Othniel captures Debir and receives Achsah, Caleb’s daughter. When Achsah asks for sources of water, Caleb grants her the upper and lower springs. The brief scene transforms territorial conquest into a family story and shows that possessing an inheritance also requires access to the resources needed to make it productive.
