Kaf-Zayin being a most unusual and unlikely letter-combination in Yehudit, this is probably an error for Achziv (אכזיב), referred to in Joshua 15:44 and Micah 1:14, as well as Genesis 38:5, as a city in the tribal territory of Yehudah; this is not to be confused with the village of Achziv (אכזיב), in the tribal territory of Asher, on the Mediterranean coast between Acco and Tsur (Tyre) (Joshua 19:29 and Judges 1:31).
A daughter of the prince of Midyan was named Kazbi (כזבי) in Numbers 25:15. The name probably means "she ceased to bear children", though Gesenius says it means "lying" or "falsehood", from Kazav (כזב).
