Description
Who was Ithream?
Ithream was one of the sons of King David, born to him during his reign in Hebron before he conquered Jerusalem (2Sa.3.5; 1Ch.3.3). He was the sixth son born to David in Hebron and the only one mentioned as being born to David's wife Eglah.
The mention of Ithream in these passages is part of a list of David's sons born in Hebron, which includes Amnon, Chileab (Daniel), Absalom, Adonijah, and Shephatiah. These sons were born to different wives of David, highlighting the practice of polygamy among the Israelite kings.
No other details are provided about Ithream's life, his relationship with his father or brothers, or any role he may have played in the kingdom. His inclusion in these lists serves to record the family line of David and the growth of his household during his reign in Hebron.
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.
The 10 best-attested of 23 are drawn. All 23 are listed below.

Where this happens
The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.
The pattern
Where Ithream 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.
