Overview
Kenaz served as a judge of Israel during the Old Testament period, demonstrating courageous leadership in battle against Canaanite enemies. As Caleb's grandson, he inherited a legacy of faith and boldness in following God's direction. His military victories were accomplished through reliance on God's strength rather than human ability alone.
Key Scriptures
"And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it. And Caleb gave him Achsah his daughter as wife" (Joshua 15:17, ESV). "The children of Israel again did what was evil in the sight of the Lord" (Judges 3:12, NASB). "When the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a savior for Israel" (Judges 3:9, NIV).
Application
Follow Kenaz's example by seeking God's strength in facing life's spiritual battles rather than relying on your own resources.
