Description
Nibhaz in the text
Nibhaz is only mentioned once in the Bible, in 2Ki.17.31. After the king of Assyria had deported most of the Israelites from Samaria, he resettled the area with people from other lands, including the Avvites. The Avvites are said to have made Nibhaz and Tartak their gods. Nothing else is known about Nibhaz from the Bible. It may have been a local deity of the Avvites from their homeland, but its characteristics and how it was represented are not recorded in Scripture. The foreign gods brought in by the resettled peoples were later seen as a spiritual snare to the remaining Israelites in the land.
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.
