Read Joshua 15.13-19
In 15.13-19: A land grant for Achsah.
In verses 13-15:This parallels the account given in 14.6-15.
In verses 17-18: Although Achsah prods her husband to ask for a field, nothing of this sort apparently happens.
In verse 19: Instead she herself goes on to request springs of water from her father.
because her land is arid and she calls the land of the Negeb (the Negeb is, arid territory).
Achsah's story (paralleled in Judg 1.10-15) explains why the Othniel clan controlled both Bebir and two springs associated with Hebron.
