    Description

    Argob in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Argob was a region located in the kingdom of Bashan, east of the Jordan River, in what is now modern-day Syria. It is mentioned in the Bible in connection with the Israelites' conquest of the Promised Land under the leadership of Moses and Joshua.

    In Deu.3.4, Argob is described as a region containing sixty fortified cities, all of which were captured by the Israelites during their conquest of Og, the king of Bashan. These cities were noted for their high walls, gates, and bars, indicating their strong defensive capabilities (Deu.3.5).

    The region of Argob was allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh as part of their inheritance in the Promised Land (Deu.3.13). Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took possession of Argob and named it Havvoth-jair, which means "the towns of Jair" (Deu.3.14).

    During the reign of King Solomon, Argob was included in the territory governed by one of his twelve officers, who was responsible for providing provisions for the king and his household (1Ki.4.13).

    The biblical references to Argob highlight its significance as a fortified and strategically important region in the Transjordan area. The conquest of Argob by the Israelites demonstrates their military success under divine guidance and the fulfillment of God's promise to give them the land. The region's inclusion in the allotment of the tribes and its mention during Solomon's reign underscore its ongoing importance in the history of Israel.

    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.
