    Description

    Aram-maacah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Aram-maacah (or Maacah) was a small Aramean kingdom located near Mount Hermon, north of Israel. During the reign of King David, the Ammonites hired soldiers from Aram-maacah and other Aramean kingdoms to help fight against Israel (1Ch.19.6-7). The Aramean forces, including the army of Maacah, gathered at the city of Medeba. Joab, David's commander, defeated the Aramean coalition, and the Arameans made peace with Israel (1Ch.19.8-19). No other details are provided about the kingdom of Aram-maacah, its rulers, or its later history. The region of Maacah is also mentioned in other contexts, sometimes referring to a person or an Israelite clan (Deu.3.14, Joshua 12:5).

    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.
