    Description

    Libnah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Libnah was a Canaanite city that was conquered by Joshua during the Israelite conquest of the Promised Land (Joshua 10:29-32, 39; 12:15). It was located in the Shephelah region of Judah (Joshua 15:42). Libnah was later designated as a Levitical city, given to the descendants of Aaron (Joshua 21:13; 1Ch.6.57). During the reign of King Joram of Judah, Libnah revolted against Judah's rule (2Ki.8.22; 2Ch.21.10). The city is also mentioned in the context of King Hezekiah's reign, as the place where the Assyrian commander Rabshakeh returned after speaking with Hezekiah's officials (2Ki.19.8; Isaiah 37:8). Libnah was the hometown of Hamutal, the mother of King Jehoahaz and King Zedekiah of Judah (2Ki.23.31; 24:18; Jeremiah 52:1).

    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 Libnah 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.

    Where the name is written across the corpus. 15 verses across 6 of 66 books; 60 write the name nowhere.

    Libnah is named in 15 verses, and the name is written 16 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. 60 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
