Son of Kenaz, younger brother (or nephew) of Caleb; first judge of Israel. Captured Kiriath-sepher and married Caleb's daughter Achsah. Delivered Israel from Cushan-rishathaim of Aram-naharaim. The land had rest forty years.

Curation status: Primeval (Genesis 1–11), patriarchs (Genesis 12–50), Exodus/Numbers, Joshua/Judges/Ruth, the united and divided monarchies (Saul, David, all kings of Judah and Israel), the writing prophets, post-exilic figures (Zerubbabel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther), the Holy Family, John the Baptist, the Twelve, and the early apostolic generation are all in. 2,781figures curated so far. The remaining named biblical figures (priestly genealogies in 1 Chronicles, the post-exile lists in Ezra/Nehemiah, the obscure persons in Acts and the epistles) are pending. Every claim is rigorously sourced; gaps mean “not yet curated”, not “not in scripture”.
