More Description

Admiring Caleb's beautiful daughter from afar, Othniel dreams of winning Acsah. His older brothers have the same goal, like every other soldier serving in Joshua's lightning conquest of Canaan. Beginning as the youngest recruit under Caleb's command, Othniel outshines his rivals by following the examples of Joshua and Caleb in military leadership, daring, character, and faithfulness. With the conquest of Judea almost complete, Caleb names the bride price for Acsah: he will give her in marriage to the conqueror of Debir, the gateway to the Negev, the Southland of Israel. The defeat of Othniel's brothers and their allies in this quest gives Othniel the chance he needs, although jealousy still threatens to cheat him of the woman of his dreams.
