Description

Who was Jozabad?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Jozabad is mentioned in 1Ch.12.4 as one of the Benjamite warriors who joined David at Ziklag. The context of the passage is the listing of the mighty men who supported David during his time of exile and conflict with King Saul (1Ch.12.1-22).

Jozabad, along with other Benjamite warriors such as Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, joined David at Ziklag while David was still a fugitive from Saul (1Ch.12.1-4). These men were described as brave warriors, trained for battle and skilled with the bow, and able to shoot arrows and sling stones with either the right or left hand (1Ch.12.2).

The passage highlights the support David received from various tribes, including Benjamin, Saul's own tribe (1Ch.12.29).

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.

Places

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.

Where the story of Jozabad happens The one place the claims about Jozabad reach, on a map of the world the text moves through, framed to them: Gederah. Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Jozabad 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.Gederah

The pattern

Where Jozabad 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.

Jozabad is named in 1 verse — 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. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
