Contextual Overview
9Afterward, the men of Judah marched down to fight against the Canaanites who were living in the hill country, the Negev, and the Judean foothills. 10Judah also marched against the Canaanites who were living in Hebron (Hebron was formerly named Kiriath-arba). They struck down Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai. 11From there they marched against the residents of Debir (Debir was formerly named Kiriath-sepher). 12Caleb said, “Whoever attacks and captures Kiriath-sepher, I will give my daughter Achsah to him as a wife.” 13So Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s youngest brother, captured it, and Caleb gave his daughter Achsah to him as his wife. 14When she arrived, she persuaded Othniel to ask her father for a field. As she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?” 15She answered him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs also.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs. 16The descendants of the Kenite, Moses’s father-in-law, had gone up with the men of Judah from the City of Palms to the Wilderness of Judah, which was in the Negev of Arad. They went to live among the people. 17Judah went with his brother Simeon, struck the Canaanites who were living in Zephath, and completely destroyed the town. So they named the town Hormah. 18Judah captured Gaza and its territory, Ashkelon and its territory, and Ekron and its territory.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said,.... Which was done in the times of Joshua, both by him and all the people, according to the order of Moses. This is to be understood not of the city which was given to the Levites, but of the fields and parts adjacent,
Joshua 14:13;
and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak: whose names are given Judges 1:10; this shows that this refers to the same expedition as in
Joshua 15:14; and is expressed in the same manner.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Judges 1:20. They gave Hebron unto Caleb — See this whole transaction explained Joshua 14:12, &c.
