    Description

    Who was Eleazar?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Eleazar, the son of Dodo the Ahohite, is mentioned in 2Sa.23.9 and 1Ch.11.12 as one of David's mighty men. He was among the three mighty warriors who were with David when they defied the Philistines gathered at Pas Dammim. The Philistines had assembled there for battle, and the men of Israel withdrew. But Eleazar stood his ground and struck down the Philistines until his hand grew tired and froze to the sword. The Lord brought about a great victory that day, and the troops returned to Eleazar, but only to strip the dead. This account highlights Eleazar's bravery, loyalty to David, and his significant role in securing a victory against the Philistines.

    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 Eleazar5 of 5 entities the graph connects to Eleazar, in 2 groups: kinship 1, events 4. 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.DodoChild of · 3 versesKinshipDavid4 events · 964 versesPhilistia3 events · 250 versesPresence1 event · 89 versesEphes-dammim1 event · 2 versesEventsEleazar
