    Description

    Kiriath-jearim in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Kiriath-jearim, also referred to as Kiriath-arim, Kiriath-baal, Baalah, Baale-judah, or Jaar, was a city located on the border between the tribes of Judah and Benjamin (Joshua 15:9, 18:14-15). It was one of the four Gibeonite cities that deceived Joshua into making a treaty with them (Joshua 9:17). The ark of the covenant was brought to Kiriath-jearim after being returned by the Philistines and remained there for 20 years (1Sa.6.21, 7:1-2). David later retrieved the ark from Kiriath-jearim to bring it to Jerusalem (1Ch.13.5-6, 2Ch.1.4). The city was also the hometown of the prophet Uriah (Jeremiah 26:20). Kiriath-jearim was resettled by the descendants of Judah after the Babylonian exile (Nehemiah 7:29, Ezra 2:25).

    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.
