    Description

    Syria in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Syria, also known as Aram, was an ancient region located north of Israel, with its capital at Damascus. Throughout the Old Testament, Syria frequently engaged in conflicts with Israel and Judah. During the reigns of Kings David and Solomon, Israel exerted control over parts of Syria (2Sam. 8:5-6; 1Chr. 18:5-6). However, in later years, Syrian kings often posed a threat to Israel and Judah, forming alliances against them (1Kgs. 15:18-20; 2Kgs. 16:5-9). The Arameans, the inhabitants of Syria, are mentioned as worshipping foreign gods (Judg. 10:6). In the New Testament, Syria is mentioned in connection with the spread of the gospel and the early church (Act.15.23, 41; Gal. 1:21). The apostle Paul spent time in Syria during his missionary journeys (Act.18.18; 21:3). A Syrophoenician woman is mentioned in Mrk.7.26, highlighting Jesus' ministry in the region. Syria played a significant role in the history of Israel and the early church.

    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.

    Syria is named in 116 verses, and the name is written 135 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. 51 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
