    Description

    Who was Shephatiah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Shephatiah was the fifth son of King David, born to him and his wife Abital during his reign in Hebron, as mentioned in 2Sa.3.4 and 1Ch.3.3. He was born before David's ascension to the throne over all Israel and the establishment of Jerusalem as the capital. Shephatiah is listed among David's six sons born in Hebron, along with Amnon, Chileab (Daniel), Absalom, Adonijah, and Ithream. Each of these sons was born to a different wife of David. Beyond his birth and lineage, no other details are provided about Shephatiah's life or any significant role he may have played in the kingdom.

    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.

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.
