Achsah is briefly mentioned in 1Ch.2.49 as the daughter of Caleb, the son of Hur. This Caleb is not the same person as Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, who appears in the conquest narratives of Joshua and Judges. The genealogy in 1Chronicles 2 focuses on the descendants of Judah, particularly the lineage of Hur, who was the son of Caleb, the son of Hezron.
No further information is provided about Achsah, her life, or any significant events associated with her. Her mention in the genealogy serves to document the family line of Caleb, the son of Hur, and the descendants of Judah.
