It is most notable as the hometown of Benaiah, one of King David's mighty men (2 Samuel 23:20; 1 Chronicles 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 (2 Samuel 23:23). Its location is unknown.
