Gathering of God, a city in the extreme south of Judah, near to Idumaea (Josh. 15:21), the birthplace of Benaiah, one of David’s chief warriors (2 Sam. 23:20; 1 Chr. 11:22). It was called also Jekabzeel (Neh. 11:25), after the Captivity.
Kabzeel
Kabzeel was a city in the far south of Judah, near the border with Edom (Joshua 15:21). Its best-known son is Benaiah, described in 2 Samuel 23:20 as the son of Jehoiada, “a valiant man, of Kabzeel, who had done many acts”. He killed two lionlike men of Moab, and on a snowy day he went down into a pit and killed a lion. The same account is repeated in 1 Chronicles 11:22. Benaiah later served David’s household as a trusted captain. A small town in the dry south is remembered mainly because one brave man grew up there.
