Description
Kabzeel in the text
Kabzeel was a town located in the Negev, the southern region of Judah (Joshua 15:21). It is most notable as the hometown of Benaiah, one of King David's mighty men (2Sa.23.20; 1Ch.11.22). Benaiah was known for his bravery and skill in battle, as he killed two warriors of Moab and a lion in a pit on a snowy day. He also killed an Egyptian of great stature, using only a staff to disarm him and slay him with his own spear. Benaiah later became the commander of David's bodyguard (2Sa.23.23). Its location is unknown.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
