    Description

    Gilboa Mount in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Mount Gilboa is a mountain range located in northern Israel, near the ancient city of Jezreel. It is most famously known as the site where King Saul and his sons, including Jonathan, were killed in battle against the Philistines. The Philistines had gathered their forces to fight against Israel, and the two armies met on Mount Gilboa (1Sa.31.1; 1Ch.10.1). In the fierce battle that ensued, the Philistines prevailed, and Saul and his sons were slain on the mountain (1Sa.31.8; 1Ch.10.8). The Philistines found their bodies the following day and desecrated them, displaying them on the walls of Beth-shan. The men of Jabesh-gilead later retrieved the bodies and buried them. Mount Gilboa is also mentioned in the account of Gideon's victory over the Midianites, where some of his fearful troops were allowed to depart from the mountain (Judges 7:3). The mountain range stands as a reminder of the tragic end of Saul's reign and the transfer of power to David, who would become Israel's next king.

    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.
