    Description

    Who was Shobab?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Shobab is mentioned in 2Sa.5.14 and 1Ch.3.5 and 1Ch.14.4 as one of the sons born to David and Bathsheba in Jerusalem. He was born after the death of their first child, who was conceived through an adulterous relationship. Shobab's birth is listed along with his brothers, including Solomon, who would later succeed David as king. Being born in Jerusalem indicates that Shobab was born after David had established the city as his capital and the center of his kingdom.

    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 Shobab10 of 24 entities the graph connects to Shobab, in 2 groups: kinship 9, events 1. 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.DavidChild of · 3 events · 964 versesSolomonSibling of · 3 events · 272 versesAbsalomSibling of · 92 versesAdonijahSibling of · 24 versesAmnonSibling of · 21 versesTamarSibling of · 13 versesBathshebaChild of · 1 event · 12 versesNathanSibling of · 3 events · 5 versesEliadaSibling of · 3 versesKinshipJerusalem3 events · 888 versesEventsShobab
