Joshua 14:12-14

14:12 Now, assign me this hill country which the Lord promised me at that time! No doubt you heard at that time that the Anakites live there in large, fortified cities. 1  But, assuming the Lord is with me, I will conquer 2  them, as the Lord promised.” 14:13 Joshua asked God to empower Caleb son of Jephunneh and assigned him Hebron. 3  14:14 So Hebron remains the assigned land of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this very day 4  because he remained loyal to the Lord God of Israel.
