She was offered in marriage to the man who would lead an attack on the city of Debir, also called Kirjath-sepher/Kirjath-sannah. This was done by Othniel, Caleb's brother's son, who accordingly obtained her as his wife.

Achsah later requested, and was given, upper and lower springs of water (presumably in the Negev) from her father.

Various Septuagint manuscripts, in various passages, give her name as Ascha, Achsa, Aza, and Oxa.
