Debīra
Apraksts
Viena no vienpadsmit pilsētām uz rietumiem no Hebronas, Jūdas augstienēs [Joz 15:49 ; Sog 1:11 -15]. Tā sākotnēji bija viena no Anākiešu pilsētām [Joz 15:15 ], un to sauca arī par Kirjat-seferu un Kirjat-sannu (49). Kālebs, kurš bija iekarojis un pārņēmis Hebronas pilsētu un apgabalu [Joz 14:6 -15], piedāvāja savas meitas roku tam, kurš veiksmīgi vadītu uzbrukumu pret Debiru. Otniels, viņa jaunākais brālis [Sog 1:13 ; Sog 3:9 ], paveica iekarošanu un ieguva Aksu par sievu. Viņa nebija apmierināta ar tēva doto daļu, un, dodoties uz savu jauno māju, viņa "nokāpa no sava ēzeļa" un teica viņam: "Dod man svētību [t.i., pūru]: jo tu esi man devis dienvidu zemi" [Joz 15:19 , A.V.]; vai, kā teikts Pārskatītajā versijā, "Tu esi mani novietojis dienvidu zemē", t.i., Negebā, ārpus bagātīgās Hebronas ielejas, sausā un neauglīgā zemē. "Dod man arī ūdens avotus. Un viņš deva viņai augšējos avotus un apakšējos avotus."
Debir ir identificēts ar mūsdienu Edh-Dhaheriyeh, t.i., "aka uz grēdas", uz dienvidiem no Hebronas.

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).
