Debir
Përshkrim
Një nga njëmbëdhjetë qytetet në perëndim të Hebronit, në lartësitë e Judës [Joz 15:49 ; Gjyq 1:11-15]. Fillimisht ishte një nga qytetet e Anakitëve [Joz 15:15 ], dhe quhej gjithashtu Kirjath-sepher dhe Kirjath-sannah (49). Kalebi, i cili kishte pushtuar dhe marrë në zotërim qytetin dhe rajonin e Hebronit [Joz 14:6 -15], ofroi dorën e vajzës së tij për këdo që do të udhëhiqte me sukses një parti kundër Debirit. Othnieli, vëllai i tij më i ri [Gjyq 1:13; Gjyq 3:9], arriti pushtimin dhe fitoi Aksahën si gruan e tij. Ajo nuk ishte e kënaqur me pjesën që i dha babai i saj, dhe ndërsa po shkonte drejt shtëpisë së saj të re, ajo "zbriti nga gomari i saj" dhe i tha atij, "Më jep një bekim [d.m.th., një pajë]: sepse ti më ke dhënë një tokë jugore" [Joz 15:19 , A.V.]; ose, si në Versionin e Rishikuar, "Ti më ke vendosur në tokën e jugut", d.m.th., në Negeb, jashtë luginës së pasur të Hebronit, në tokën e thatë dhe të shkretë. "Më jep gjithashtu burime uji. Dhe ai i dha burimet e sipërme dhe burimet e poshtme."
Debiri është identifikuar me Edh-Dhaheriyeh moderne, d.m.th., "pusi në kreshtë", në jug të Hebronit.

Debir
oracle town; sanctuary.
(1.) One of the eleven cities to the west of Hebron, in the highlands of Judah (Josh 15:49; Judg 1:11-15). It was originally one of the towns of the Anakim (Josh 15:15), and was also called Kirjath-sepher (q.v.) and Kirjath-sannah (Josh 15:49). Caleb, who had conquered and taken possession of the town and district of Hebron (Josh 14:6-15), offered the hand of his daughter to any one who would successfully lead a party against Debir. Othniel, his younger brother (Judg 1:13; 3:9), achieved the conquest, and gained Achsah as his wife. She was not satisfied with the portion her father gave her, and as she was proceeding toward her new home, she "lighted from off her ass" and said to him, "Give me a blessing [i.e., a dowry]: for thou hast given me a south land" [(Josh 15:19), A.V.]; or, as in the Revised Version, "Thou hast set me in the land of the south", i.e., in the Negeb, outside the rich valley of Hebron, in the dry and barren land. "Give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs."
Debir has been identified with the modern Edh-Dhaheriyeh, i.e., "the well on the ridge", to the south of Hebron.
(2.) A place near the "valley of Achor" (Josh 15:7), on the north boundary of Judah, between Jerusalem and Jericho.
(3.) The king of Eglon, one of the five Canaanitish kings who were hanged by Joshua (Josh 10:3; 10:23) after the victory at Gibeon. These kings fled and took refuge in a cave at Makkedah. Here they were kept confined till Joshua returned from the pursuit of their discomfited armies, when he caused them to be brought forth, and "Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees" (Josh 10:26).
