Kaleb (c. 520) is perhaps the best-documented, if not best-known, king of Axum situated in modern day Eritrea and Ethiopia.
Procopius of Caesarea calls him "Hellestheaeus", a variant of his throne name Ella Atsbeha or Ella Asbeha (Histories, 1.20). Variants of his name are Hellesthaeus, Ellestheaeus, Eleshaah, Ella Atsbeha, Ellesboas, and Elesboam, all from the Greek Ελεσβόάς, for “The one who brought about the morning” or “The one who collected tribute.”
At Aksum, in inscription RIE 191, his name is rendered in unvocalized Gə‘əz as KLB ’L ’ṢBḤ WLD TZN (Kaleb ʾElla ʾAṣbeḥa son of Tazena). In vocalized Gə‘əz, it is ካሌብ እለ አጽብሐ (Kaleb ʾƎllä ʾAṣbəḥa).
Kaleb, a name derived from the Biblical character Caleb, is his given Christian name; ʾOn both his coins and inscriptions he left at Axum, as well as Ethiopian hagiographical sources and king lists, he refers to himself as the son of Tazena. He may be the "Atsbeha" or "Asbeha" of the Ethiopian legends of Abreha and Asbeha, the other possibility being Ezana's brother Saizana.
Kaleb, a variant spelling of "Caleb", may refer to:
Kaleb my son, for you I would tear this world apart.
I don't want my son to be anything like me,
or the bullshit fake people on the t.v.,
or even right across the street.
You will be as strong as you make yourself to be.
Everything around you will bring you to your knees,
It's not how hard the world hits,
It's how quick you get back up, how quick you get back
I can try to show you what's right and wrong but in the
end it's your choice to make.
I can't be there to help you through every mistake,
I can only show you how I've made it through my own
battles and how I've made myself this strong.
You are everything to me,
I would fight through a thousand horrors just to keep
you safe.
Everything around you will bring you to your knees,
It's not how hard the world hits,
It's how quick you get back up.
Everyone around you will lie straight through their
teeth,
You must persevere and make it through your own
battles,
and how you make yourself this strong.
You are everything to me,
I would fight through a thousand horrors just to keep
you safe.
