    Description

    Rimmon in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Rimmon, meaning "pomegranate," was a rock or cliff where 600 Benjamite men fled after a battle with the other Israelite tribes. The conflict arose when the Benjamites refused to surrender the men of Gibeah who had committed a heinous crime (Jdg. 19-20). In the ensuing battle, the Benjamites were defeated, and the survivors escaped to the rock of Rimmon, where they stayed for four months (Jdg. 20:45, 47). Later, the Israelites sent a peace delegation to the Benjamites at the rock of Rimmon, urging them to return (Jdg. 21:13). The exact location of the rock of Rimmon is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the territory of Benjamin, north of Jerusalem.

    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.
