Description
Who was Hotham?
Hotham the Aroerite is mentioned in 1Ch.11.44 as one of David's mighty warriors. He is listed among the group of soldiers known for their bravery and military prowess.
The mighty warriors were an elite group of soldiers who fought alongside David and played a significant role in his military campaigns and the establishment of his kingdom. They were known for their strength, skill, and loyalty to David.
Hotham is specifically identified as an Aroerite, which likely refers to his place of origin, the city of Aroer. There were two cities named Aroer in the Bible, one located in the territory of Gad (Num.32.34) and another in the territory of Judah (1Sa.30.28).
Apart from being listed among David's mighty warriors, no other information is provided about Hotham in the Bible. His inclusion in this list highlights his reputation as a skilled soldier and his contribution to David's military successes.
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.

Places
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.
