Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Kilab, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context.

Usage: Kilab is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Kilab is mentioned in the context of the genealogy of King David. He is identified as the second son of David, born to Abigail, the widow of Nabal the Carmelite. Kilab is listed among the sons of David in 2 Samuel 3:3. The name Kilab is significant as it reflects a connection to his father, David, possibly indicating a sense of fulfillment or continuation of David's lineage. In the parallel account in 1 Chronicles 3:1, he is referred to as Daniel, which may suggest a dual name or a textual variation. The name Kilab does not appear frequently in the biblical narrative, and there is little additional information about his life or role in the history of Israel. His mention primarily serves to establish the lineage and family structure of King David.
