Debir
Açıklama
Yahuda'nın dağlık bölgesinde, Hebron'un batısındaki on bir şehirden biri (Yeş 15:49 ; Hak 1:11 -15). Başlangıçta Anakim'in kasabalarından biriydi (Yeş 15:15 ) ve ayrıca Kirjat-sefer ve Kirjat-sannah olarak da adlandırılıyordu (49). Hebron kasabasını ve bölgesini fethedip ele geçiren Kalev (Yeş 14:6 -15), Debir'e karşı başarılı bir şekilde bir grup yönetecek kişiye kızının elini teklif etti. Otniel, onun küçük kardeşi (Hak 1:13 ; Hak 3:9 ), fetih işlemini gerçekleştirdi ve Aksa'yı eşi olarak kazandı. Babasının ona verdiği payla yetinmeyen Aksa, yeni evine doğru ilerlerken, "eşeğinden indi" ve ona, "Bana bir nimet [yani çeyiz] ver: çünkü bana güneyde bir toprak verdin" dedi (Yeş 15:19 , A.V.); veya Revize Edilmiş Versiyona göre, "Beni güneydeki toprağa yerleştirdin", yani Negev'de, Hebron'un zengin vadisinin dışında, kuru ve çorak toprakta. "Bana ayrıca su kaynakları ver." Ve ona üst kaynakları ve alt kaynakları verdi.
Debir, Hebron'un güneyinde, modern Edh-Dhaheriyeh, yani "sırt üzerindeki kuyu" ile özdeşleştirilmiştir.

sözlükten bilgi
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).
