Adduxeruntque eum in Ierusalem, et ibi mortuus est.	7 And Adonibezek said: “Seventy kings, with the ends of their hands and feet amputated, have been gathering the remnants of food under my table.

And since she had sighed while sitting on her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What is it?”
15 At illa respondit: “ Da mihi benedictionem; quia terram arentem dedisti mihi, da et irriguam aquis ”. Dedit ergo ei Chaleb irriguum superius et irriguum inferius.	15 But she responded: “Give a blessing to me. For you have given me a dry land. Also give a watered land.” Therefore, Caleb gave to her the upper watered land and the lower watered land.
