    Description

    Rogelim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Rogelim was a town in Gilead, east of the Jordan River, and the hometown of Barzillai the Gileadite. During Absalom's rebellion against King David, Barzillai, along with other supporters, brought supplies of food and provisions to David and his followers at Mahanaim (2Sa. 17:27-29). After Absalom's defeat, when David returned to Jerusalem, Barzillai accompanied him to the Jordan River. David invited the elderly Barzillai to come with him to Jerusalem, but Barzillai declined due to his advanced age and returned to his home in Rogelim (2Sa. 19:31-39). The exact location of Rogelim is unknown, but it was situated in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River.

    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.
