Caleb receives Hebron at 85
Caleb, still strong at 85, asked for the hill country around Hebron where the giant Anakim lived, and drove them out.
Now therefore give me this hill country, of which Yahweh spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and great and fortified cities. It may be that Yahweh will be with me, and I shall drive them out, as Yahweh said.
Joshua 14:12 (World English Bible)
Forty-five years earlier Caleb had been one of only two spies who trusted God. Now he asked for the hardest assignment. His nephew Othniel captured Debir and married Caleb's daughter Achsah; Othniel would become Israel's first judge.
