When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, "What can I do for you?"H935H5496H7592H1H7704H6795H2543H3612H55919She replied, "Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me also springs of water." So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.H559H5414H1293H5414H5045H776H5414H1543H4325H5414H5942H1543H8482H154320This is the inheritance of the tribe of Judah, according to its clans:H5159H4294H1121H3063H494021The southernmost towns of the tribe of Judah in the Negev toward the boundary of Edom were: Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur,H7097H5892H4294H1121H3063H1366H123H5045H6909H5740H301722Kinah, Dimonah, Adadah,H7016H1776H573523Kedesh, Hazor, Ithnan,H6943H2674H349724Ziph, Telem, Bealoth,H2128H2928H117525Hazor Hadattah, Kerioth Hezron (that is, Hazor),H2674H2675H7152H2696H267426Amam, Shema, Moladah,H538H8090H413727Hazar Gaddah, Heshmon, Beth Pelet,H2693H2829H104628Hazar Shual, Beersheba, Biziothiah,H2705H884H96429Baalah, Iyim, Ezem,H1173H5864H610730Eltolad, Kesil, Hormah,H513H3686H276731Ziklag, Madmannah, Sansannah,H6860H4089H557832Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain and Rimmon—a total of twenty-nine towns and their villages.H3822H7978H5871H7417H5892H6242H8672H269133In the western foothills: Eshtaol, Zorah, Ashnah,H8219H847H6881H82334Zanoah, En Gannim, Tappuah, Enam,H2182H5873H8599H587935Jarmuth, Adullam, Sokoh, Azekah,H3412H5725H7755H582536Shaaraim, Adithaim and Gederah (or Gederothaim) —fourteen towns and their villages.H8189H5723H1449H1453H702H6240H5892H269137Zenan, Hadashah, Migdal Gad,H6799H2322H402838Dilean, Mizpah, Joktheel,H1810H4708H337139Lachish, Bozkath, Eglon,H3923H1218H570040Kabbon, Lahmas, Kitlish,H3522H3903H379841Gederoth, Beth Dagon, Naamah and Makkedah—sixteen towns and their villages.H1450H1016H5279H4719H8337H6240H5892H269142Libnah, Ether, Ashan,H3841H6281H622843Iphtah, Ashnah, Nezib,H3316H823H533444Keilah, Akzib and Mareshah—nine towns and their villages.H7084H392H4762H8672H5892H269145Ekron, with its surrounding settlements and villages;H6138H1323H269146west of Ekron, all that were in the vicinity of Ashdod, together with their villages;H6138H3220H3027H795H269147Ashdod, its surrounding settlements and villages; and Gaza, its settlements and villages, as far as the Wadi of Egypt and the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.H795H1323H2691H5804H1323H2691H5158H4714H1419H1366H3220H136648In the hill country: Shamir, Jattir, Sokoh,H2022H8069H3492H775549Dannah, Kiriath Sannah (that is, Debir),H1837H7158H168850Anab, Eshtemoh, Anim,H6024H851H604451Goshen, Holon and Giloh—eleven towns and their villages.H1657H2473H1542H259H6240H5892H269152Arab, Dumah, Eshan,H694H1746H82453Janim, Beth Tappuah, Aphekah,H3241H1054H66454Humtah, Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron) and Zior—nine towns and their villages.H2547H7153H2275H6730H8672H5892H269155Maon, Carmel, Ziph, Juttah,H4584H3760H2128H319456Jezreel, Jokdeam, Zanoah,H3157H3347H218257Kain, Gibeah and Timnah—ten towns and their villages.H7014H1390H8553H6235H5892H269158Halhul, Beth Zur, Gedor,H2478H1049H144659Maarath, Beth Anoth and Eltekon—six towns and their villages.H4638H1042H515H8337H5892H269160Kiriath Baal (that is, Kiriath Jearim) and Rabbah—two towns and their villages.H7154H7157H7237H8147H5892H269161In the wilderness: Beth Arabah, Middin, Sekakah,H4057H1026H4081H552762Nibshan, the City of Salt and En Gedi—six towns and their villages.H5044H5898H5872H8337H5892H269163Judah could not dislodge the Jebusites, who were living in Jerusalem; to this day the Jebusites live there with the people of Judah.H2983H3427H3389H1121H3063H3201H3201H3423H2983H3427H1121H3063H3389H3117
