16. He told his men, “The man who captures Kiriath-Sepher can marry my daughter Achsah.”

17. Caleb's nephew Othniel captured Kiriath-Sepher, and Caleb let him marry Achsah.

18. Straight after the wedding, Achsah started telling Othniel that he ought to ask her father for a field. She went to see her father, and while she was getting down from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What's bothering you?”
