Gill's Notes on the Bible
Who answered, give me a blessing,.... By which she meant not a paternal benediction, or that he would wish and pray for a blessing on her; nor food, or a maintenance, as Jarchi, that her husband would provide for her; but rather an inheritance or possession, as the Targum; or a gift, as Abendana, a present, or something over and above what he had already given her; or an addition to her portion, as Kimchi: the word is sometimes used for a fish pool, as well as a blessing, and so glances at what she had in view, pools of water, or a well watered land:
for thou hast given me a south land; a dry land, as the Jewish writers a generally interpret this word, otherwise all the land belonging to the tribe of Judah was south land, and Caleb could give her no other; but Debir, as Hebron was, was in the hill country, was mountainous and so dry, and wanted watering:
give me also springs of water; she means land in which there were springs of water; for unless she was possessed of the land in which they were, she would have no command of the springs, and so have little or no use of them:
and he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs; such as were in the higher grounds, and such as were in the lower ones, that she might have a sufficiency to water all her lands and fields; or as she moved her husband to ask a field, and he put her on doing the same, Caleb gave her a field, in the upper part of which were springs, and also in the lower part; though he seems to have given more than she requested.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
A south land - This term (ânegebâ) which is often equivalent to a proper name Joshua 15:21, importing the well-defined district which formed the south of the promised land (Numbers 13:17 note), seems here used in its more general sense Psalms 126:4, for a dry or barren land. The rendering of this passage adopted by Septuagint, several versions, and Commentators, etc., âthou hast given me into a south land,â i. e. âhast given me in marriage into a south landâ is forced; the construction of the verb âto give,â with two accusatives, is natural and common to many languages.
Springs of water - The Hebrew words ××× ××× guÌllaÌh mayıÌm are found only here and in the parallel passage, Judges 1:15. Hence, some take it as a proper name, âGulloth-maim,â which like Beth-horon Joshua 16:3, Joshua 16:5, was applied to two distinct but adjoining places - distinguished as âthe upperâ and âthe lower.â The tract in question was no doubt a mountain slope which had springs both on its higher and lower ground; possibly the modern âKurmulâ.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 15:19. Give me a blessing — Do me an act of kindness. Grant me a particular request.
Thou hast given me a south land — Which was probably dry, or very ill, watered.
Give me also springs of water. — Let me have some fields in which there are brooks or wells already digged.
The upper springs, and the nether springs. — He gave her even more than she requested; he gave her a district among the mountains and another in the plains well situated and well watered. There are several difficulties in this account, with which I shall not trouble the reader. What is mentioned above appears to be the sense.
