ACHSA*, ACHSAH*

Caleb’s daughter (1 Chr 2:49). Othniel, Caleb’s nephew, accepted his uncle’s challenge to capture Kiriath-sepher in order to marry Achsah. She persuaded Othniel to ask her father, Caleb, for a field, and she herself asked Caleb for two springs of water, a necessity for life in the desert (Jos 15:16-19; Jgs 1:12-15).
