    Description

    Kitron in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Kitron, also referred to as Kartah or Kattath, was a city located in the territory allocated to the tribe of Zebulun (Joshua 19:15). It was one of the cities given to the Levites, specifically to the Merarite clan, for their residence (Joshua 21:34). However, the tribe of Zebulun failed to drive out the Canaanite inhabitants of Kitron, and as a result, the Canaanites continued to live among them (Judges 1:30).

    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.
