    Description

    Ziph in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Ziph was a town in the hill country of Judah, southeast of Hebron (Jos.15.55). The wilderness near Ziph was where David hid from King Saul (1Sa.23.14-15). On two occasions, the Ziphites informed Saul of David's whereabouts (1Sa.23.19; 26:1). In the wilderness of Ziph, David spared Saul's life when he had the opportunity to kill him (1Sa.26.2-12). The town of Ziph is probably to be identified with Tell Zif, about 4 miles southeast of Hebron. Ruins have been found there, along with a spring. Psalm 54 is associated with David's time hiding from Saul in the region of Ziph.

    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.
