    Description

    Who was Ibhar?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Ibhar is mentioned in two parallel passages (2Sa.5.15 and 1Ch.14.5) as one of the sons born to King David in Jerusalem. He is also listed in 1Ch.3.6 among David's descendants.

    David, the second king of Israel, had several wives and concubines, and the Bible records that he fathered many children. Ibhar was one of the sons born to David after he had conquered Jerusalem and made it his capital city.

    The mention of Ibhar in these genealogical records highlights the importance of family lineage in ancient Israelite society. The chronicling of David's descendants, including Ibhar, serves to establish the royal line and emphasize the continuity of the Davidic dynasty.

    Apart from being listed among David's sons, no further information is provided about Ibhar in the Bible. His inclusion in the genealogies suggests that he was part of David's large family and that his birth was considered significant enough to be recorded in the scriptural accounts of David's life and reign.

    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 Ibhar10 of 22 entities the graph connects to Ibhar, 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.
