    Description

    Who was Eliphelet?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Eliphelet is mentioned in the lists of King David's children born to him in Jerusalem (2Sa.5.16; 1Ch.3.8; 14.7). He was born after David had established himself as king over Israel and had conquered the city of Jerusalem. Eliphelet is consistently named among David's sons in these passages, confirming his place in the royal family. The Bible does not provide any additional information about Eliphelet's life, role, or significance in the kingdom of Israel.

    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 Eliphelet10 of 22 entities the graph connects to Eliphelet, in one group: kinship 10. 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.

    Where this happens

    A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
