    Description

    Sukkiim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The Sukkiim are mentioned in 2Ch.12.3 as part of the army that invaded Judah under Shishak king of Egypt during the reign of Rehoboam. They are listed along with the Lubim and Cushites, indicating they were likely an African people. No other details are provided about the Sukkiim in the Bible. They may have been Libyan mercenaries or allies of the Egyptians.

    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.
