    Description

    Gibeah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Gibeah was a town located in the hill country of Judah (Joshua 15:57). It is mentioned briefly in the context of the cities and villages assigned to the tribe of Judah during the division of the Promised Land under Joshua. The exact location of this Gibeah is uncertain, as there are several places with the same name mentioned in the Bible. In 2Ch.13.2, Gibeah is identified as the hometown of Maacah (also known as Micaiah), the mother of King Abijah of Judah. Abijah was the son of Rehoboam and succeeded him as king. Apart from these two references, no further information is provided about this particular Gibeah in the Bible.

    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.
