    Description

    Who was Hushim?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Hushim is mentioned in 1Ch.8.8 and 11 as one of the sons of Shaharaim, a descendant of Benjamin. Shaharaim had two wives, Hushim and Baara, and he sent them away.

    After Shaharaim divorced his wives, he had children in the country of Moab. Among these children was Hushim, along with his brothers Abitub and Elpaal.

    The genealogy in 1Chronicles 8 traces the descendants of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The inclusion of Hushim in this genealogy indicates that he was part of the Benjamite clan, even though he was born in Moab.

    The mention of Shaharaim's wives and his children born in Moab suggests that there may have been a period of Benjamite migration or exile to Moab at some point in their history. However, the exact circumstances and timing of this event are not specified in the text.

    The genealogical records in Chronicles serve to establish the lineage and family connections of the Israelites, particularly in the post-exilic period when many of them were returning to their homeland and seeking to reestablish their identity as God's people.

    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 Hushim10 of 12 entities the graph connects to Hushim, in 3 groups: kinship 2, company 1, events 7. 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.ElpaalMother of · 1 event · 3 versesAbitubMother of · 1 event · 1 verseKinshipShaharaim Having SonsTook part in · 3 versesCompanySon1 event · 218 versesMoab1 event · 160 versesBaara1 event · 1 verseHodesh1 event · 1 verseJobab1 event · 1 verseMalcam1 event · 1 verseMesha1 event · 1 verseEventsHushim
