Achsa, Achsah

Caleb’s daughter (1 Chronicles 2:49). Othniel, Caleb’s nephew, accepted his uncle’s request to capture Kiriath-sepher in order to marry Achsah. She persuaded Othniel to ask her father, Caleb, for a field. She also asked Caleb for two springs of water, which was necessary for life in the desert (Joshua 15:16–19; Judges 1:12–15).
