15 This then was the lot
of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border
of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south
coast. 2 And their south border was from the shore
of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward: 3 And it went out to the south side to
Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side
unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and
fetched a compass to Karkaa: 4 From thence it passed toward Azmon, and
went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were
at the sea: this shall be your south coast. 5 And the east border was the salt sea,
even unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from
the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan: 6 And the border went up to Bethhogla,
and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the
stone of Bohan the son of Reuben: 7 And the border went up toward Debir from
the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before
the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the
border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof
were at Enrogel: 8 And the border went up by the valley
of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem:
and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the
valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants
northward: 9 And the border was drawn from the top
of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to
the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is
Kirjathjearim: 10 And the border compassed from Baalah
westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim,
which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and
passed on to Timnah: 11 And the border went out unto the side
of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along
to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border
were at the sea. 12 And the west border was to the great
sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round
about according to their families. 13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh
he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment
of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city
is Hebron. 14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons
of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants
of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher. 16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher,
and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. 17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother
of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. 18 And it came to pass, as she came unto
him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off
her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou? 19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for
thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave
her the upper springs, and the nether springs. 20 This is the inheritance of the tribe
of the children of Judah according to their families. 21 And the uttermost cities of the tribe
of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel,
and Eder, and Jagur, 22 And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah, 23 And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan, 24 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth, 25 And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, and

lay near Ashdod, with their villages: 47 Ashdod with her towns and her villages,
Gaza with her towns and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great
sea, and the border thereof: 48 And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir,
and Socoh, 49 And Dannah, and Kirjathsannah, which
is Debir, 50 And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim, 51 And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven
cities with their villages: 52 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean, 53 And Janum, and Bethtappuah, and Aphekah, 54 And Humtah, and Kirjatharba, which is

and Rabbah; two cities with their villages: 61 In the wilderness, Betharabah, Middin,
and Secacah, 62 And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and
Engedi; six cities with their villages. 63 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants
of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites
dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
