    Description

    Jattir in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Jattir was a town located in the hill country of Judah (Joshua 15:48). It was later designated as a Levitical city and given to the descendants of Aaron (Joshua 21:14; 1Ch.6.57). During David's reign, when he was distributing the spoils from his victory over the Amalekites, Jattir was one of the towns that received a share (1Sa.30.27). This suggests that Jattir had been loyal to David and supported him during his time of need. The exact location of Jattir is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the southern part of Judah.

    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.
