Caleb

Now the men of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal,
and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him,
You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God
at Kadesh Barnea about you and me.

. . . "Now give me this hill country
that the Lord promised me that day.
You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there
and their cities were large and fortified,
but, the Lord helping me,
I will drive them out 
just as He said."

Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh
and give him Hebron as his inheritance.
So Hebron has belonged to Caleb
son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since,
because he followed the Lord,
the God of Israel, 
wholeheartedly.

. . . Then the land had rest from war.

(Joshua 14:6,12-14,15)
