About this place
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.
