    Description

    Who was Amnon?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Amnon was the firstborn son of King David, born to him in Hebron. His mother was Ahinoam of Jezreel. Amnon is primarily known for his infamous act of raping his half-sister Tamar, who was the sister of Absalom. After the incident, Amnon's love for Tamar turned to hatred, and he sent her away in shame.

    Absalom, enraged by Amnon's actions, waited two years before exacting revenge. He invited Amnon to a sheep-shearing feast and had his servants kill Amnon when he was drunk. This led to a rift between Absalom and his father, David, and ultimately to Absalom's rebellion against the king. The story of Amnon highlights the tragic consequences of sexual violence and the far-reaching effects it can have on families and relationships.

    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.

    How the graph connects Amnon 10 of 24 entities the graph connects to Amnon, in 2 groups: kinship 8, events 2. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.DavidChild of · 8 events · 964 versesSolomonSibling of · 272 versesAbsalomSibling of · 3 events · 92 versesAdonijahSibling of · 24 versesTamarSibling of · 12 events · 13 versesAhinoamChild of · 1 event · 6 versesNathanSibling of · 5 versesEliadaSibling of · 3 versesKinshipHebron1 event · 57 versesJonadab1 event · 7 versesEventsAmnon

    Where the story of Amnon happens The one place the claims about Amnon reach, on a map of the world the text moves through, framed to them: Hebron. Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Amnon there. The coastline is a modern one, simplified; no border, road or settlement of any period is drawn, and no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.Hebron

    The pattern

    Where Amnon is named

    Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.

    Where the name is written across the corpus. 21 verses across 2 of 66 books; 64 write the name nowhere.

    Amnon is named in 21 verses, and the name is written 27 times in them — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 64 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
