Debiras
Aprašymas
Viena iš vienuolikos miestų į vakarus nuo Hebrono, Judėjos aukštumose [Joz 15:49 ; Ts 1:11 -15]. Iš pradžių tai buvo vienas iš Anako miestų [Joz 15:15 ], ir buvo vadinamas Kirjat-Sefer (žr.) ir Kirjat-Sana (49). Kalebas, kuris užkariavo ir užėmė Hebrono miestą ir apylinkes [Joz 14:6 -15], pasiūlė savo dukters ranką tam, kas sėkmingai vadovaus žygiui prieš Debirą. Otnielis, jo jaunesnysis brolis [Ts 1:13 ; 3:9], įvykdė užkariavimą ir gavo Achsą kaip žmoną. Ji nebuvo patenkinta dalimi, kurią jai davė tėvas, ir kai ji vyko į savo naujus namus, ji „nulipo nuo asilo“ ir pasakė jam: „Duok man palaiminimą [t. y. kraitį]: nes tu man davei pietinę žemę“ [Joz 15:19 , A.V.]; arba, kaip sakoma Pataisytoje versijoje, „Tu mane įkurdinai pietinėje žemėje“, t. y. Negebe, už turtingos Hebrono slėnio ribų, sausoje ir nederlingoje žemėje. „Duok man taip pat vandens šaltinius.“ Ir jis davė jai viršutinius šaltinius ir apatinius šaltinius.
Debiras buvo identifikuotas su šiuolaikiniu Edh-Dhaheriyeh, t. y. „šulinys ant kalvos“, į pietus nuo Hebrono.

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).
