Description
Aram-zobah in the text
Aram-zobah is mentioned in the title of Psalm 60, along with Aram-naharaim, as a region against which David fought. Zobah was an Aramean kingdom located in central Syria, north of Damascus. The Arameans of Zobah were among the enemies Israel faced during the time of the united monarchy.
The title of the psalm suggests that David engaged in a military campaign against Aram-zobah, likely seeking to expand Israel's influence and control in the region. The conflict with Aram-zobah is also mentioned in 2Sa.8.3-8 and 1Ch.18.3-8, which describe David's victories over Hadadezer, the king of Zobah, and his allies.
David's success against Aram-zobah and the acquisition of valuable resources, such as gold, silver, and bronze, contributed to the strengthening of Israel's position and wealth during his reign. The mention of Aram-zobah in the psalm title serves as a reminder of David's military prowess and the challenges he faced in establishing Israel's dominance in the region.
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.
