Description

Who was Eliahba?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Eliahba the Shaalbonite is mentioned in 2Sa.23.32 and 1Ch.11.33 as one of David's mighty men. He was part of an elite group of warriors known for their exceptional military skills and bravery. The mighty men played a crucial role in David's military campaigns and helped establish his kingdom. Eliahba's association with Shaalbon, a town in the territory of Dan, suggests that he may have been from that region.

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.

Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Eliahba there. The coastline is a modern one, simplified; no border, road or settlement of any period is drawn, and no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.Shaalbim
