    Description

    Who was Nepheg?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Nepheg was one of the sons of King David, born to him in Jerusalem, as recorded in 2Sa.5.15 and 1Ch.3.7 and 1Ch.14.6. He was among the children born to David after he had conquered Jerusalem and established it as his capital city.

    The mention of Nepheg in these passages occurs in the context of listing David's sons born in Jerusalem. These sons were born to David by his wives, whom he had taken after becoming king over all Israel.

    As a son of David, Nepheg would have been part of the royal family and would have grown up in the palace in Jerusalem. However, beyond his inclusion in the list of David's sons, no further details are provided about Nepheg's life, character, or role in the kingdom.

    The biblical record does not mention any significant events or accomplishments associated with Nepheg, and he does not appear to have played a prominent role in the history of Israel. This is in contrast to some of his brothers, such as Solomon, who succeeded David as king, and Absalom, who led a rebellion against his father.

    Nepheg's inclusion in the genealogical record of David's sons serves to provide a complete account of the royal family and to highlight the fulfillment of God's promise to David that he would establish his throne forever (2Sa.7.12-16). The mention of Nepheg and his brothers also underscores the importance of family lineage in the Israelite monarchy and the continuation of the Davidic dynasty.

    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 Nepheg10 of 22 entities the graph connects to Nepheg, in one group: kinship 10. 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.

    Places

    Where this happens

    A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
