底璧
描述
这是希伯仑以西犹大高地的十一座城市之一([书 15:49 ];[士 1:11 -15])。它最初是亚纳族的城镇之一([书 15:15 ]),也被称为基列西弗和基列萨拿(49)。迦勒征服并占领了希伯仑的城镇和地区([书 14:6 -15]),他提出将女儿嫁给任何能够成功带领队伍攻打底璧的人。俄陀聂,他的弟弟([士 1:13 ; 士 3:9 ]),完成了征服,并赢得了押撒为妻。她对父亲给她的份地不满意,当她前往新家的途中,她“下了驴”,对他说:“求你赐福给我(即嫁妆):因为你给了我南地”([书 15:19 ],和合本);或如修订版所言:“你把我安置在南地”,即在尼革夫,希伯仑富饶山谷之外的干旱贫瘠之地。“求你也给我水泉。”于是他给了她上泉和下泉。
底璧已被确认与现代的埃德-达赫里耶相同,即“山脊上的井”,位于希伯仑以南。

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).
