    Description

    Hamathites in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The Hamathites were a Canaanite people group mentioned in the Table of Nations (Gen.10.18; 1Ch.1.16). They were descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham and grandson of Noah. The Hamathites were named after the city of Hamath, located in modern-day Syria, which was their primary settlement. Hamath was an important city-state in ancient times, known for its strategic location along trade routes. The Hamathites were one of the many Canaanite groups that inhabited the region before the Israelites settled in the land. In later biblical history, Hamath is mentioned as one of the kingdoms that bordered Israel during the reigns of David and Solomon (2Sa.8.9-10; 1Ki.8.65). The Hamathites, along with other Canaanite groups, were eventually conquered and assimilated by the Israelites as they took possession of the Promised Land.

    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.
