    Description

    Who was Ithream?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Ithream was one of the sons of King David, born to him during his reign in Hebron before he conquered Jerusalem (2Sa.3.5; 1Ch.3.3). He was the sixth son born to David in Hebron and the only one mentioned as being born to David's wife Eglah.

    The mention of Ithream in these passages is part of a list of David's sons born in Hebron, which includes Amnon, Chileab (Daniel), Absalom, Adonijah, and Shephatiah. These sons were born to different wives of David, highlighting the practice of polygamy among the Israelite kings.

    No other details are provided about Ithream's life, his relationship with his father or brothers, or any role he may have played in the kingdom. His inclusion in these lists serves to record the family line of David and the growth of his household during his reign in Hebron.

    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 Ithream10 of 24 entities the graph connects to Ithream, in 3 groups: kinship 8, company 1, events 1. 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.
