    Description

    House of the Forest in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    The House of the Forest of Lebanon was a building that was part of King Solomon's palace complex in Jerusalem (1Ki.7.2). It was named for the extensive use of cedar from Lebanon in its construction. The building was larger than the temple and served as an armory, storing shields and other weapons (1Ki.10.17, 21; 2Ch.9.16, 20; Isaiah 22:8). It was likely a separate structure from the palace itself and may have also been used for other purposes, such as a place for official gatherings or a residence for visiting dignitaries.

    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.

    House of the Forest is named in 6 verses, and the name is written 7 times in them — 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. 63 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
