Othniel Wins Achsah
Joshua 15 details Judah’s inheritance, Caleb’s possession of Hebron and Debir, and the extensive city lists that define Judah’s territory. The chapter closes by noting the continuing Jebusite presence in Jerusalem.
Othniel, Israel’s first named judge, is the same Othniel introduced in Joshua 15 when he captured Debir and received Achsah in marriage; Judges develops an already-known faithful warrior into a Spirit-empowered deliverer.
