Joshua 14:15
“And the name of Hebron before was Kirjath–arba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.”
And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.
Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel.
