Tracing family lineages reveals how ancient communities were built and established. The historical records carefully outline the family of the founding father of the city of Gibeon. The names listed represent his direct descendants, starting with Abdon, who holds the position of the firstborn son.
Following the firstborn, a series of other names are recorded, beginning with Zur. These represent the younger sons of the family. Rather than scattering to different regions, these brothers remained close to their roots. They all settled and lived together alongside their father, firmly establishing their household within the city of Gibeon [מצודת דוד].
