Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

As yet I {am as} strong this day as {I was} in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength {was} then, even so {is} my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.

Now therefore give me this mountain, whereof the LORD spake in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims {were} there, and {that} the cities {were} great {and} fenced: if so be the LORD {will be} with me, then I shall be able to drive them out, as the LORD said.

And Joshua blessed him, and gave unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh Hebron for an inheritance.

Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the LORD God of Israel.

And the name of Hebron before {was} Kirjatharba; {which Arba was} a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.
