Kirjath Sepher (Hebrew: קִרְיַת-סֵפֶר; in LXX Ancient Greek: Καριασσῶ
And Caleb said, “He who attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.[3]
According to the narrative, Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took Kirjath Sepher and so was married to Achsah.
The place is also referred to as "Kiriath-sepher" or "Cariath-Sepher", and was later known as Debir. (Judges 1:13)
Kirjath Sepher is mentioned in Papyrus Anastasi I as Karetai Thoupar.[1][2]
