Othniel's conquest — And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. Othniel (Caleb's nephew, son of Kenaz) successfully conquers Debir. He is rewarded with Achsah's hand in marriage. Othniel will later become the first judge in Israel (Judges 3:9-11), suggesting that his early display of military prowess is a sign of his future leadership.
