    Description

    Who was Shaharaim?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Shaharaim, mentioned in 1Ch.8.8, was a member of the tribe of Benjamin. The text states that he had two wives, Hushim and Baara, and that he sent them away. This brief mention of Shaharaim occurs within the genealogical records of the Benjamites. The act of sending away his wives suggests a form of divorce or separation, though the reasons behind this action are not provided in the text. After this, Shaharaim had children in the country of Moab, possibly indicating that he relocated there after separating from his wives. The names of his children born in Moab are listed, including Jobab, Zibia, Mesha, Malcam, Jeuz, Sakia, and Mirmah.

    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 Shaharaim10 of 15 entities the graph connects to Shaharaim, in 3 groups: kinship 7, company 1, 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.ElpaalFather of · 1 event · 3 versesHushimSpouse of · 2 events · 2 versesAbitubFather of · 1 event · 1 verseBaaraSpouse of · 1 event · 1 verseHodeshSpouse of · 1 event · 1 verseJeuzFather of · 1 verseJobabFather of · 1 event · 1 verseKinshipShaharaim Having SonsTook part in · 3 versesCompanySon1 event · 218 versesMoab1 event · 160 versesEventsShaharaim
