    Description

    Naioth in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Naioth was a place near Ramah, a city in the territory of Benjamin, where the prophet Samuel lived with a group of prophets (1Sam. 19:18-24; 20:1). When King Saul sought to kill David, he fled to Samuel at Naioth in Ramah. Saul sent messengers to capture David, but when they arrived, they encountered the prophets prophesying with Samuel. The Spirit of God came upon the messengers, and they also prophesied. This happened three times, and when Saul himself went to Naioth, he too was overcome by the Spirit and prophesied before Samuel. This event gave rise to the saying, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" (1Sam. 19:24).

    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.
