Description
Who was Jobab?
Jobab is mentioned in 1Ch.8.9 as one of the sons of Shaharaim and his wife Hodesh. This information is provided in the context of the genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin. Shaharaim had sent away his wives Hushim and Baara, and he had children with Hodesh in the country of Moab. Jobab is listed among the seven sons born to Shaharaim and Hodesh.
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 13 are drawn. All 13 are listed below.
