Description
Jetur in the text
Jetur was one of the twelve sons of Ishmael, the son of Abraham (1Ch.1.31). His descendants likely inhabited the region known as Ituraea in the New Testament (Luke 3:1). During the time of King David, the Hagrites, possibly descendants of Jetur, were defeated by the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh (1Ch.5.19). Ituraea was a region located in the northeastern part of modern-day Israel and southern Syria. In the New Testament, Philip, one of the sons of Herod the Great, is mentioned as the tetrarch of Ituraea and Trachonitis (Luke 3:1).
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.
