SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:15
De aquí subió a los que moraban en Debir; y el nombre de Debir era antes Quiriat-sefer.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 15:15
Verse 15. Kirjath-sepher.] The city of the book. Why so named is uncertain. It was also called Debir, and Kirjath-sannah. See ver. 49.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. And he went up from thence to the inhabitants of Debir , etc.] Having conquered Hebron, and got possession of that, Caleb marched to Debir, a city not many miles from Hebron, and seems to have been in the country, and part of the land, which was given him; of which (see Gill on “ Joshua 10:38”); and the name of Debir before [was] Kirjathsepher ; or “the city of books”; either a place of literature, a sort of an academy, or where was a public library; the Targum calls it Kirjatharche, or the city of the archives, in which were laid up the public records of the Canaanites; the same is called Kirjathsannah for the like reason, (see Gill on “ Joshua 15:49”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-19 - Achsah obtained some land by Caleb's free grant. He gave her a sout land. Land indeed, but a south land, dry and apt to be parched. Sh obtained more, on her request, and he gave the upper and the nethe springs. Those who understand it but of one field, watered both with the rain of heaven, and the springs that issued out of the earth countenance the allusion commonly made to this, when we pray for spiritual and heavenly blessings which relate to our souls, a blessings of the upper springs, and those which relate to the body an the life that now is, as blessings of the nether springs. All the blessings, both of the upper and the nether springs, belong to the children of God. As related to Christ, they have them freely given of the Father, for the lot of their inheritance.
