Description
Who was Neariah?
Neariah is briefly mentioned in 1Ch.4.42 as one of the leaders from the tribe of Simeon who led an expedition against the Amalekites during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah. This event took place as part of the Simeonites' efforts to expand their territory and secure additional pastureland for their flocks.
According to the text, Neariah, along with Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, led a group of 500 Simeonite men to Mount Seir, where they defeated the remaining Amalekites who had escaped previous battles.
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.
