    Description

    Who was Jozabad?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Jozabad is mentioned in 1Ch.12.4 as one of the Benjamite warriors who joined David at Ziklag. The context of the passage is the listing of the mighty men who supported David during his time of exile and conflict with King Saul (1Ch.12.1-22).

    Jozabad, along with other Benjamite warriors such as Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, joined David at Ziklag while David was still a fugitive from Saul (1Ch.12.1-4). These men were described as brave warriors, trained for battle and skilled with the bow, and able to shoot arrows and sling stones with either the right or left hand (1Ch.12.2).

    The passage highlights the support David received from various tribes, including Benjamin, Saul's own tribe (1Ch.12.29).

    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.
