    Description

    Who was Jeroboam?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Jeroboam II was a king of Israel who reigned for 41 years, from around 786 to 746 BC. He was the son of Jehoash and the grandson of Jehoahaz. During his reign, Jeroboam II was able to restore some of Israel's former territories, extending the kingdom's boundaries to the "entrance of Hamath," as predicted by the prophet Jonah.

    Despite his military successes, Jeroboam II continued in the idolatrous practices of his predecessors, maintaining the worship of the golden calves in Bethel and Dan. The prophets Amos and Hosea, who were active during his reign, condemned the social injustice, religious corruption, and moral decay prevalent in Israel at the time.

    Jeroboam II's reign was marked by prosperity and stability, but this was followed by a period of decline and political turmoil after his death. His son Zechariah succeeded him but was assassinated after only six months on the throne.

    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 Jeroboam10 of 15 entities the graph connects to Jeroboam, in 2 groups: kinship 1, events 9. 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.JoashChild of · 2 events · 23 versesKinshipIsrael5 events · 2,578 versesSin1 event · 240 versesWord1 event · 225 versesSamaria1 event · 124 versesHezekiah1 event · 116 versesThrone1 event · 99 versesJeroboam1 event · 81 versesAhaz1 event · 37 versesUzziah2 events · 33 versesEventsJeroboam
