    Description

    Tirzah in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Tirzah was a Canaanite city that was captured by Joshua during the conquest of Canaan (Josh. 12:24). It later became the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel during the reigns of Jeroboam I, Nadab, Baasha, Elah, Zimri, and Omri (1Kgs. 14:17; 15:21, 33; 16:6-23). Tirzah served as the royal residence and administrative center until Omri built Samaria, which then became the new capital (1Kgs. 16:23-24). The city is also mentioned in the Song of Solomon, where the beauty of the Shulammite woman is likened to that of Tirzah (Sng.6.4). Tirzah's exact location is uncertain, but it is believed to have been situated in the hill country of Samaria, possibly near modern-day Tell el-Far'ah, about 7 miles northeast of Nablus.

    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.

    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.

    Tirzah is named in 13 verses, and the name is written 14 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. 62 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
