Description
Who was Tabrimmon?
Tabrimmon is mentioned in 1Ki.15.18 as the father of Ben-hadad I, who was the king of Syria in Damascus during the reign of Asa king of Judah. Asa made a treaty with Ben-hadad I and sent him silver and gold from the temple treasuries to persuade him to break his treaty with Baasha king of Israel. Ben-hadad I agreed and attacked the northern cities of Israel, forcing Baasha to stop building Ramah. No other details are provided about Tabrimmon. His name may mean "good is Rimmon," referring to a Syrian deity. As the father of Ben-hadad I, Tabrimmon was likely also a king of Syria before his son succeeded him on the throne.
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.

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.
