    Description

    Ijon in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Ijon, also known as Jaan, was a town located in the northern part of Israel, in the territory of Naphtali. It was conquered by Ben-hadad, king of Aram, at the request of King Asa of Judah, who sought to divert the attention of Baasha, king of Israel (1Ki.15.20; 2Ch.16.4). Later, during the reign of Pekah, king of Israel, Ijon was captured by the Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser, who deported its inhabitants to Assyria (2Ki.15.29). The town is also mentioned in the account of David's census (2Sa.24.6). Its exact location is uncertain, but it was likely situated near the border with Aram (Syria) in the upper Jordan 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.
