Who became Caleb's son-in-law by winning Achsah for his wife?

Explanation:
Caleb had promised his daughter Achsah in marriage to the one who would capture Kirjath-sepher (Debir). Othniel, the son of Kenaz and Caleb’s younger brother, indeed led Israel to victory over Debir, fulfilling Caleb’s condition. Because of that triumph, Achsah became his wife, making him Caleb’s son-in-law. Achsah even gave him a dowry of springs, extending his resources. The other figures mentioned—Ehud, Gideon, and Samson—are not part of this marriage event; they appear in separate stories. This victory by Othniel also marks him as the first judge who rises to lead Israel.
