    Description

    Garmites in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The Garmites are mentioned briefly in 1Ch.4.19 as living in Keilah, possibly descendants of Gerem, who was from the tribe of Judah. The passage lists several families and clans within the tribe of Judah, including the sons of Hodiah's wife, the sister of Naham. One of these sons is identified as the father of Keilah the Garmite. This suggests that the Garmites were a family or clan within the tribe of Judah, associated with the city of Keilah. However, no further information is provided about the Garmites, their history, or their role within the tribe. The brief mention of the Garmites in the genealogical record of Judah highlights the complexity and diversity of the Israelite tribal system and the importance of family and clan affiliations in ancient Israelite society.

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
