    Description

    Shamir in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Shamir was a man from the hill country of Ephraim who judged Israel for 23 years (Judg. 10:1-2). He was the son of Puah and a member of the tribe of Issachar. After the death of Abimelech, Shamir arose to save Israel, indicating a time of crisis or oppression from which he delivered the people. He died and was buried in Shamir, his hometown in the hill country of Ephraim. Some scholars propose identifying Shamir with the town of Sanur on the road from Nablus to Jenin, but this remains uncertain as Sanur was likely outside the territory of Issachar. The Septuagint's Codex Alexandrinus reads "Samareia" instead of "Shamir," adding further complexity to the identification of the location.

    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.
