The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south. Num 26:55-56Ezk 47:19Jos 14:2Num 33:36-37Num 34:3-5 Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward; Ezk 47:8Gen 14:3Isa 11:15Ezk 47:18Jos 3:16Num 34:3 and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh Barnea, and passed along by Hezron, went up to Addar, and turned toward Karka; Num 34:4Jdg 1:36Gen 14:7Num 20:1Num 32:8 and it passed along to Azmon, went out at the brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea.

The border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan. Num 34:12Jos 18:15-19Num 34:10 The border went up to Beth Hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth Arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. Jos 18:17Jos 18:19-21 The border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that faces the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river. The border passed along to the waters of En Shemesh, and ended at En Rogel. 1Ki 1:92Sa 17:17Jos 7:26Hos 2:5Isa 65:10Jos 10:38-39Jos 10:43Jos 15:15 The border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite (also called Jerusalem) southward; and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the farthest part of the valley of Rephaim northward. Jos 18:16Jos 15:63Jdg 19:10Jos 18:282Ki 23:10Jdg 1:212Ch 28:32Sa 5:18 The border extended from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (also called Kiriath Jearim); 1Ch 13:6Jos 18:15Jdg 18:122Sa 6:2Jos 9:17 and the border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim (also called Chesalon) on the north, and went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed along by Timnah; Jdg 14:11Sa 6:12-21Gen 38:12-13Jdg 14:5Jos 15:57 and the border went out to the side of Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to Mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea. 1Sa 5:101Sa 7:142Ki 1:162Ki 1:2-32Ki 1:6Jos 15:45Jos 19:43-44 The west border was to the shore of the great sea.

He 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). Deu 1:34-36Jos 14:6-15Num 13:30Num 14:23-24 Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. Jdg 1:10Jdg 1:20Jos 11:21Num 13:22-23Jos 10:36-37Num 13:33 He went up against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher. Jos 10:38Jdg 1:11-13Jos 10:3 Caleb said, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.” Jdg 1:12-13Jdg 1:6 Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. Jdg 1:13Jdg 3:9Jdg 3:11Jos 14:61Ch 2:49Num 32:12 When she came, she had him ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey, and Caleb said, “What do you want?” 1Sa 25:23Gen 24:64
She said, “Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” Jdg 1:14-152Co 9:51Sa 25:27Deu 33:7Gen 33:11
So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
