About Zabdi
Zabdi is listed as one of the sons of Shimei (or 'Shimhi') in the genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin. This genealogy traces the lineage of King Saul, Israel's first king, who came from the tribe of Benjamin. Zabdi is mentioned alongside his brothers, but no further information is provided about his life or role within the tribe. His inclusion in the genealogy highlights the importance of family lineage in Israelite society.
