    Description

    Beth-gader in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Beth-gader is mentioned only once in the Bible, in 1Ch.2.51, as part of the genealogy of the tribe of Judah. The verse states, "Salma the father of Bethlehem, Hareph the father of Beth-gader."

    The name Beth-gader means "house of the wall" or "house of the fortress" in Hebrew, possibly indicating that the town was known for its fortifications or defensive structures.

    Based on the context of the genealogy, Beth-gader was likely located within the territory of Judah, but its exact location is unknown. The town is mentioned alongside Bethlehem, which suggests that it may have been in the same general region, possibly in the hill country of Judah.

    The genealogy in 1Chronicles 2 traces the descendants of Judah, focusing on the clans and families that emerged from his lineage.

    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.
