About Talmai Written by AI

Talmai is mentioned in Numbers 13:22, Joshua 15:14, and Judges 1:10 as one of the Anakim who were the pre-Israelite inhabitants of Hebron. The Anakim were giants, descendants of Anak, and were feared by the Israelite spies. Talmai, along with Sheshai and Ahiman, was a king of Hebron. After the conquest of Canaan, Caleb drove out these three Anakim kings when the city was allotted to him and the tribe of Judah.
