    Description

    Harosheth-hagoyim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Harosheth-hagoyim was a Canaanite city that served as the headquarters for Sisera, the commander of the army of Jabin, the king of Hazor (Judg 4:2). Sisera gathered his 900 iron chariots and troops at Harosheth-hagoyim before engaging the Israelites led by Deborah and Barak at the Kishon River (Judg 4:13). After the Canaanites were defeated, Barak pursued them back to Harosheth-hagoyim and destroyed Sisera's army (Judg 4:16). The exact location of this city is uncertain, though some scholars propose it may have been near modern-day Tel Harashim in the Jezreel Valley.

    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.
