Editing Caleb (section)

===Deeds===
In the aftermath of the conquest, Caleb asks Joshua to give him a mountain in property within the land of Judah, and Joshua blesses him as a sign of God's blessing and approval, giving him Hebron ({{bibleverse|Joshua|14|9}}). Since Hebron itself was one of the [[Cities of Refuge]] to be ruled by the [[Levites]], it is later explained that Caleb actually was given the outskirts ({{bibleverse|Joshua|21:11-13|9}}). Caleb promised his daughter [[Achsah]] in marriage to whoever would conquer the land of [[Debir]] from the giants. This was eventually accomplished by [[Othniel Ben Kenaz]], Caleb's nephew ({{bibleverse|Judges|1:13|9}}), who became Caleb's son-in-law as well ({{bibleverse|Joshua|15:16,17|9}}).

[[1 Samuel]] {{bibleverse-nb|1 Samuel|25:3|9}} states that [[Nabal]], the husband of [[Abigail]] before [[David]], was "a Calebite" (Hebrew ''klby'').<ref name=Fokkelman>Fokkelman (1981), p.
