Description
Jarmuth in the text
Jarmuth was a Canaanite city mentioned in the book of Joshua. Its king, Piram, joined an alliance against Joshua and the Israelites (Joshua 10:3,5). However, the Israelites defeated the alliance, and the king of Jarmuth was captured and put to death (Joshua 10:23). The city was later allotted to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 12:11; 15:35) and was inhabited by the people of Judah after the Babylonian exile (Nehemiah 11:29). Jarmuth was located in the Shephelah, the lowland region of Judah, but its exact location is uncertain.
Relations
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.
