Description
Who was Talmai?
Talmai is mentioned in Num.13.22, Jos.15.14, and Jdg.1.10 as one of the Anakim who were the pre-Israelite inhabitants of Hebron. The Anakim were giants, descendants of Anak, and were feared by the Israelite spies. Talmai, along with Sheshai and Ahiman, was a king of Hebron. After the conquest of Canaan, Caleb drove out these three Anakim kings when the city was allotted to him and the tribe of Judah.
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.
The pattern
Where Talmai is named
