Did Caleb capture Hebron before or after Joshua's death?

The LORD swore in De 1:

It was fulfilled in Joshua 15:

Caleb captured Hebron before Joshua's death.

But the parallel account in Judges 1:

1 After the death of Joshua, the Israelites inquired of the LORD, “Who will be the first to go up and fight for us against the Canaanites?”
10 Judah also marched against the Canaanites who were living in Hebron (formerly known as Kiriath-arba), and they struck down Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai.
The above verse could be a flashback to Josh 15:14.

Did Caleb capture Hebron before or after Joshua's death?

God promised to give Caleb the land he trod on. He probably received the land before Joshua died.
