Judges 1:10

¹⁵Now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba, after the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.

²²They went up by the South, and came to Hebron; and Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the children of Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

²³The LORD says, “Don’t let the wise man glory in his wisdom. Don’t let the mighty man glory in his might. Don’t let the rich man glory in his riches.

¹¹I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happen to them all.

¹³He gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba, named after the father of Anak (also called Hebron). ¹⁴Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. ¹⁵He went up against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher. ¹⁶Caleb said, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.” ¹⁷Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. ¹⁸When she came, she had him ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey, and Caleb said, “What do you want?”

¹⁹She said, “Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

³³There we saw the Nephilim,^[+] the sons of Anak, who come from the Nephilim.^[+] We were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.”

²⁰They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said, and he drove the three sons of Anak out of there.

¹⁶There is no king saved by the multitude of an army. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. ¹⁷A horse is a vain thing for safety, neither does he deliver any by his great power.
