Description
Dor in the text
Dor, also referred to as Naphath-dor, was a Canaanite city located on the Mediterranean coast, south of Mount Carmel. It was one of the cities conquered by Joshua during the Israelite conquest of Canaan (Joshua 12:23) and was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh as part of their inheritance (Joshua 17:11; 1Ch.7.29). However, the Manassites were unable to drive out the Canaanite inhabitants of Dor, and the city remained under Canaanite control (Judges 1:27). During the reign of Solomon, Dor was included in the administrative district governed by Ben-abinadab, one of Solomon's officers (1Ki.4.11). The city was known for its strategic location and its involvement in maritime trade. Archaeological excavations at Tel Dor have revealed evidence of the city's long history and its importance as a port city in ancient times.
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.
