    Description

    Carmel Mount in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Mount Carmel is a mountain range stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the southeast, located in northern Israel. It is most famously associated with the prophet Elijah and his confrontation with the prophets of Baal (1Ki.18.19-40). On Mount Carmel, Elijah challenged the people of Israel to choose between the Lord and Baal, and he demonstrated the power of the true God by calling down fire from heaven.

    After the contest, Elijah slaughtered the prophets of Baal at the Brook Kishon (1Ki.18.40) and then went to the top of Mount Carmel to pray for rain, ending a three-year drought (1Ki.18.42-45). The mountain is also mentioned in 2Ki.2.25 and 4:25, in connection with the prophet Elisha, who was Elijah's successor.

    Mount Carmel's lush vegetation and beauty made it a symbol of fertility and God's blessing in the Bible (Isaiah 35:2; Jeremiah 50:19; Amo.9.3). The mountain's strategic location and natural resources also made it a place of military and political significance throughout history.

    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.
