Description

Who was Zibia?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Zibia was a Benjamite mentioned in the genealogy of Shaharaim in 1Chronicles 8. He was one of the sons born to Shaharaim and his wife Hodesh in the country of Moab. This genealogical record provides insight into the family structure and lineage of the tribe of Benjamin. It also suggests that some Benjamites, like Shaharaim, lived outside of their allotted territory, in this case, in Moab.

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 Zibia10 of 14 entities the graph connects to Zibia, in 3 groups: kinship 6, company 1, events 3. 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.ElpaalSibling of · 1 event · 3 versesAbitubSibling of · 1 event · 1 verseHodeshChild of · 1 event · 1 verseJeuzSibling of · 1 verseJobabSibling of · 1 event · 1 verseMalcamSibling of · 1 event · 1 verseKinshipShaharaim Having SonsTook part in · 3 versesCompanySon1 event · 218 versesMoab1 event · 160 versesHushim1 event · 2 versesEventsZibia
