Description
Girzites in the text
The Girzites are mentioned only once in the Bible, in 1Sa.27.8. While David was living in the Philistine city of Ziklag, he and his men went on raids against the Girzites, along with the Geshurites and the Amalekites. These groups were described as having inhabited the land "from Telam as far as Shur, to the east of Egypt." David attacked these groups, leaving no survivors, and took their possessions, including livestock and clothing. The exact location and identity of the Girzites remain unknown, as they are not mentioned in any other historical or biblical records.
Relations
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.
