드비르
설명
헤브론 서쪽 유다 산지에 위치한 열한 도시 중 하나 (수 [Jos 15:49]; 삿 [Judg 1:11-15]). 원래 아나킴의 도시 중 하나였으며 (수 [Jos 15:15]), 기럇세벨과 기럇산나라고도 불렸다 (49). 헤브론의 도시와 지역을 정복하고 점령한 갈렙 (수 [Jos 14:6-15])은 드빌에 대항하여 성공적으로 전투를 이끌 사람에게 자신의 딸의 손을 제안했다. 그의 동생인 옷니엘이 (삿 [Judg 1:13; 삿 3:9 ]) 정복을 이루었고, 악사를 아내로 얻었다. 그녀는 아버지가 준 부분에 만족하지 않았고, 새 집으로 가는 도중 나귀에서 내려 그에게 말했다, "내게 축복을 주소서 [즉, 지참금]: 당신이 내게 남쪽 땅을 주셨으니" (수 [Jos 15:19], A.V.); 또는 개정판에서는 "당신이 나를 남쪽 땅에 두셨으니", 즉 네게브, 헤브론의 풍요로운 계곡 밖의 건조하고 메마른 땅에 두셨다. "또한 물 샘을 주십시오." 그리고 그는 그녀에게 위쪽 샘과 아래쪽 샘을 주었다.
드빌은 현대의 에드-다헤리예, 즉 "능선 위의 우물"로 확인되었으며, 헤브론 남쪽에 위치해 있다.

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).
