    Description

    Janoah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Janoah was a town in the northern kingdom of Israel that was captured by the Assyrians during the reign of Pekah, king of Israel (2Ki.15.29). The Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser took Janoah, along with several other cities in Gilead and Galilee, and deported the inhabitants to Assyria. This event occurred around 732 BC as part of the Assyrian conquest of Israel. The exact location of Janoah is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the northern part of Israel, possibly in the region of Naphtali.

    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.
