Description
Ibleam in the text
Ibleam, also known as Bileam or Gath-rimmon, was a Levitical city located in the territory of Issachar (Joshua 17:11; 21:25; 1Ch.6.70). It was one of the cities that were not fully conquered by the Israelites during the time of Joshua, and the Canaanite inhabitants continued to live there (Judges 1:27). King Ahaziah of Judah was wounded by Jehu's soldiers near Ibleam as he fled from Jezreel (2Ki.9.27). The city was also the location where Zechariah, king of Israel, was assassinated by Shallum (2Ki.15.10). Its exact location is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the Jezreel Valley.
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.
The pattern
Where Ibleam is named
Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.
6 verses across 4 of 66 books; 62 write the name nowhere. Named in Joshua (2), Judges (1), 2 Kings (2) and 1 Chronicles (1).
