    Description

    Who was Lahmi?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Lahmi was the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the Philistine champion who was killed by David (1Ch.20.5). In another account, he is referred to as "the brother of Goliath the Gittite" (2Sa.21.19). Lahmi was killed by Elhanan, son of Jair the Bethlehemite, during a battle between the Israelites and the Philistines at Gob (2Sa.21.19; 1Ch.20.5). The exact timing of this event is unclear, but it likely occurred during the reign of David. Lahmi's death, along with the defeat of other Philistine warriors, demonstrated the Israelites' military prowess under David's leadership.

    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 Lahmi7 of 7 entities the graph connects to Lahmi, in 2 groups: kinship 5, events 2. 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.RaphaChild of · 7 versesGoliathSibling of · 6 verseshuge manSibling of · 2 versesSaphSibling of · 2 versesIshbi-benobSibling of · 1 verseKinshipGezer1 event · 16 versesElhanan2 events · 2 versesEventsLahmi
