Description
Etam in the text
Etam is mentioned twice in 1 Chronicles in different contexts. In 1Ch.4.3, Etam is listed among the descendants of Judah, specifically as part of the clan of Hur. The text states that the sons of Etam were Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash, suggesting that Etam was either an individual or a place associated with this Judahite clan.
In 1Ch.4.32, Etam appears as one of the villages belonging to the tribe of Simeon, along with Ain, Rimmon, Tochen, and Ashan. These villages were part of Simeon's inheritance within the territory of Judah (Joshua 19:1-9).
The exact location of Etam in both contexts is uncertain, and it is possible that there were two different places named Etam. The Etam associated with Simeon was likely situated in the Negev region, south of Judah, while the Etam connected to the clan of Hur may have been located elsewhere in Judah's territory.
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.
