FRED:

1) if the previous word ends in a closed syllable, then an initial beged
kefet letter on the following word is plosive with a dagesh kal, i.e., bene
2) if the previous word ends in an open syllable and is accented with a
disjunctive cantillation, then the following word retains the dagesh kal,
i.e., bene
3) if the previous word ends in an open syllable and is accented with a
conjunctive cantillation, then an initial beged kefet letter on the following
word become fricative (lacks dagesh kal), i.e., vene
4) there are exceptions to no. 3 known as dehik and ati marhik, but these are
more complicated

best wishes,
ari kinsberg
