¹⁴ From Hebron Caleb drove out the three Anakites^(A)—Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai,^(B) the sons of Anak.^(C)

²⁰ As Moses had promised, Hebron^(A) was given to Caleb, who drove from it the three sons of Anak.^(B)

¹⁰ They advanced against the Canaanites living in Hebron^(A) (formerly called Kiriath Arba^(B)) and defeated Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.^(C)

²¹ At that time Joshua went and destroyed the Anakites^(A) from the hill country: from Hebron, Debir^(B) and Anab,^(C) from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua totally destroyed them and their towns.

²² They went up through the Negev and came to Hebron,^(A) where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai,^(B) the descendants of Anak,^(C) lived. (Hebron had been built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)^{(D) 23} When they reached the Valley of Eshkol,^[a](E) they cut off a branch bearing a single cluster of grapes. Two of them carried it on a pole between them, along with some pomegranates^(F) and figs.^(G)

³⁶ Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron^(A) and attacked it. ³⁷ They took the city and put it to the sword, together with its king, its villages and everyone^(B) in it. They left no survivors. Just as at Eglon, they totally destroyed it and everyone in it.

³³ We saw the Nephilim^(A) there (the descendants of Anak^(B) come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers^(C) in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”
