Description

Who was Abitub?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Abitub is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.8.11 as one of the sons of Shaharaim, a descendant of Benjamin. Shaharaim had two wives, Hushim and Baara, and Abitub is listed among the children born to him in the land of Moab after he had sent away his previous wives.

The genealogy in 1Chronicles 8 traces the descendants of Benjamin, providing insight into the growth and development of the tribe. However, no further details are given about Abitub's life, his role within the tribe, or any significant events or accomplishments associated with him. His mention serves primarily to document the lineage of the Benjaminites.

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.

How the graph connects Abitub10 of 14 entities the graph connects to Abitub, in 3 groups: kinship 6, company 1, events 3. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.ElpaalSibling of · 1 event · 3 versesHushimChild of · 1 event · 2 versesJeuzSibling of · 1 verseJobabSibling of · 1 event · 1 verseMalcamSibling of · 1 event · 1 verseMeshaSibling of · 1 event · 1 verseKinshipShaharaim Having SonsTook part in · 3 versesCompanySon1 event · 218 versesMoab1 event · 160 versesHodesh1 event · 1 verseEventsAbitub
