Description
Who was Piram?
Piram was the Amorite king of Jarmuth, a city in the Shephelah region of Canaan, during the time of Joshua's conquest of the Promised Land. In Jos.10.3, Piram is mentioned as one of the five Amorite kings who formed a coalition against the Israelites after the fall of Jericho and Ai. The other kings in this alliance were Adoni-Zedek of Jerusalem, Hoham of Hebron, Japhia of Lachish, and Debir of Eglon. These kings united their forces to attack Gibeon, a city that had made a peace treaty with Israel. In response, Joshua and the Israelite army came to Gibeon's defense, and with the help of God, they defeated the Amorite coalition, capturing and executing the five kings, including Piram (Jos.10.16-27). This victory was a significant milestone in the Israelites' conquest of Canaan.
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 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 Piram 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.
1 verse across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere. Named in Joshua (1).
