Description

Who was Shiza?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Shiza is mentioned in 1Ch.11.42 as the father of Adina, who was one of King David's mighty warriors. Adina is described as a chief of the Reubenites, indicating his leadership position within the tribe of Reuben. The passage lists several of David's mighty men, who were known for their bravery, military prowess, and loyalty to the king. As the father of one of these esteemed warriors, Shiza was likely a respected figure within the Reubenite community. However, no further details about Shiza's life or role are provided in the biblical text, as the focus is on his son Adina's service to King David.

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.

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.
