    Description

    Who was Shaphat?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Shaphat, mentioned in 1Ch.5.12, was a leader of the Gadites who lived in the region of Bashan. He is described as the second in rank among the Gadites during the reign of Jotham, king of Judah. The Gadites were one of the Israelite tribes that settled on the east side of the Jordan River, and Bashan was a fertile area known for its lush pastures and well-fed livestock. Shaphat's position as a leader suggests that he held a significant role in the governance and organization of the Gadites in Bashan. The text does not provide any specific details about Shaphat's actions or achievements as a leader. However, his mention in the context of the genealogical records of the Gadites highlights the importance of tribal leadership and the role of the Gadites in the history of Israel.

    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 Shaphat7 of 7 entities the graph connects to Shaphat, in 2 groups: company 1, events 6. 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.Descendants Of Gad’s settlementTook part in · 3 versesCompanyGilead1 event · 90 versesTown1 event · 67 versesBashan1 event · 53 versesSons Of Reuben1 event · 8 versesSalecah1 event · 4 versesJanai1 event · 1 verseEventsShaphat
