    Description

    Tiphsah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Tiphsah is mentioned in 1Ki.4.24 as one of the boundary points of Solomon's kingdom, which extended from Tiphsah to Gaza. The city was located on the western bank of the Euphrates River, in the region of northern Syria or southern Turkey. Its inclusion in the description of Solomon's realm demonstrates the vast extent of his dominion and influence during the height of his reign. Tiphsah's strategic position on the Euphrates made it an important trade and military center, allowing Solomon to control the major trade routes between Mesopotamia and the Levant. The city's location also underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that his descendants would possess the land from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates (Gen. 15:18).

    Relations

    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.
