    Description

    Horesh in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Horesh was a wilderness area in Judah where David sought refuge from King Saul (1Sa.23.15-19). While David was in the wilderness of Ziph, he learned that Saul was pursuing him. Jonathan, Saul's son and David's friend, visited David at Horesh and encouraged him, affirming that David would become the next king of Israel. The Ziphites later informed Saul of David's location, but David escaped before Saul could capture him. The exact location of Horesh is not specified, but it was likely in the vicinity of Ziph, southeast of Hebron.

    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.

    Horesh is named in 4 verses — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 65 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
