    Description

    Ono in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Ono was a town located in the territory of Benjamin, near Lod (1Chr. 8:12; Ezra 2:33; Neh. 7:37; 11:35). It is mentioned in the context of the descendants of Benjamin who resettled the area after the Babylonian exile. Ono is also known for its association with Nehemiah's enemies, Sanballat and Geshem, who sought to lure him away from Jerusalem to the plain of Ono, likely to harm him (Neh. 6:2). Nehemiah, however, perceived their intentions and refused to meet with them. The exact location of Ono is uncertain, but it was probably situated in the western part of Benjamin, near the border with 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.
