    Description

    Jezreel in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Jezreel was a town located in the hill country of Judah (Joshua 15:56). It is primarily mentioned in connection with Ahinoam, one of David's wives, who was from Jezreel (1Sa.25.43). Ahinoam was with David during his time in Ziklag, where he sought refuge from King Saul (1Sa.27.3). She was also one of the two wives taken captive by the Amalekites when they raided Ziklag, but David pursued the raiders and rescued her (1Sa.30.5). After Saul's death, Ahinoam went with David to Hebron, where he was anointed king over Judah (2Sa.2.2). She bore David's firstborn son, Amnon, in Hebron (2Sa.3.2). This Jezreel should not be confused with the more prominent city of Jezreel in the Jezreel Valley, associated with the kings of Israel.

    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.
