They include: > Header fields for PEOPLE= > ================= > * UnifiedName═uStrong (EG Aaron@Exo.4.14-Heb═H0175) - made up of: – before "@": the most common English form of the name as used in ESV (or in KJV if the ESV doesn't translate it as a name) – after "@": the first instance where that person/place occurs, unless the identity is uncertain and there is another that is certain. EG most common name is used for Abraham@Gen.11.26 where he is actually called Abram; the certain form is used for Ammon@Deu.2.19-Zep=H5983 even though the uncertain form Ham|Ammon@Deu.2.19-Zep(?) occurs at Gen.14.5, but this is uncertain.) – a hyphen after the reference indicates the person on place occurs in more than one verse, and if they occur also in a later book, the last book they occur in is added, eg: Adam@Gen.2.19-Jud and Agrippa@Act.25.13- (nothing comes after this hyphen which indicates all the additional refs are in the same book, ie Acts). This element of the name is not necessary for unique identification, but helps a human identify which individual they are searching for. The lack of a dash indicates the name occurs only at that one reference. * Significance is the type of alternate version of the name. The alternate versions on these lines are sub-records of the top line. The type of alternatives are: – Named – ie a name or title of an individual or place – Mentioned – ie an individual that has no name or specific referent in the Bible, or someone needed to link people in in genealogies (eg father of Lazarus needed to link with Mary & Martha) – Spelled – ie a different spelling of the same word – Aramaic – ie an Aramaic version of a Hebrew word which may or may not be spelled differently – Name combined – ie a name that is combined with another Name to refer to a single individual or place. – Group – ie a name or title of a group of people (gentilic) – Greek – only added for Greek versions of Names or Group names. – (same form as previous) – the Hebrew/Greek form is the same as the previous line, but the Refs are different because the translation in ESV (and sometimes others) is different – (same ref[s] as previous) – the Refs are the same as the previous line, but the Hebrew/Greek form is different due to a variant, and perhaps the Strongs number is an alternative, and perhaps the translation is different too – Form (verb) OR (adjective) – the word is a verb or an adjective, such as "to become a Jew" or "Divine" – Total - merges these all into one line * uStrong (unified Strong) is a unique number for that individual person or place. This number identifies that individual person or place, and unifies all versions of their name. It is the most common dStrong for that individual * UniqueName is AltName|UnifiedName (EG Abram|Abraham@Gen.11.26-1Pe) * eStrong is the electronic numbers based on Strong, as augmented by OpenScripture to match the increased vocabulary in BDB. When BDB divided a Hebrew word into two or more words, this is indicated by adding "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" or "f". – e.g. H6152a is "Arabia" and H6152b is "west" but sometimes translated "Arabia". Variant for OT ("Ketive" & "Qere") and NT ("Var.") differences are recorded only where they make a difference to the translation of the name. * dStrong (disambiguated Strong) is a unique number for that form of the name when used for that individual. If the individual has more than one name or form of a name, the separate dStrongs, the most common one becomes the uStrong number. – they are created from eStrong numbers by adding upper case "A", "B" etc. See a fuller explanation at TinyURL.com/STEP-Disambiguated – * ESV name is the translation in ESV (with alternates in NIV & KJV when they are different, which may not yet be exhaustive). * Description - such as "Place" or "Male living at the time of the Patriarchs" * Parents - the UniqueNames in the form of Father + Mother, e.g. "Terah@Gen.11.24-Luk + " (because the mother is unknown) * Siblings - the UniqueNames separated by commas * Partners - the UniqueNames of the husband or wife/wives * Offspring - the UniqueNames of any children * Tribe/Nation. For Jews, "N". For peoples "A Greek" etc. For places "From Magog" etc. For the first: "The founder of his tribe"; "The founding Greek"; "The founder of Magog" Tribe * Summary Description: All the data in a standard sentence format, EG An Egyptian man from the time of T; son of F and M; bother of B; married to W; father of C * All Refs are an exhaustive list of all refs where this form of the Hebrew or Greek occurs in the OT or NT respectively using Standard English versification *@Briefest= description in up 3 words or less in a non-standard format.

He assisted Moses during the Exodus, including holding up Moses' arms during the battle against the Amalekites. ¶God chose Aaron and his descendants to serve as priests for the Israelites. Aaron was consecrated as the first high priest and wore special priestly garments. He was responsible for offering sacrifices, burning incense, and performing other priestly duties in the tabernacle. Aaron also played a role in several significant events, such as the golden calf incident and the rebellion of Korah. ¶Aaron married Elisheba, and they had four sons: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. Nadab and Abihu died when they offered unauthorized fire before the Lord. Aaron died at the age of 123 on Mount Hor, and his son Eleazar succeeded him as high priest. Despite his flaws, Aaron was a key figure in Israel's history and played a crucial role in establishing the priesthood. ========== PERSON(s) Abagtha@Est.1.10=H0005 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Est.1.10;

The New Testament references Abel as an example of faith (Heb.11.4) and as a righteous man whose blood cried out for justice (Mat.23.35; Luk.11.51).

Abihu went up Mount Sinai with Moses, Aaron, Nadab and seventy elders of Israel to worship the Lord before He gave the tablets of the Testimony to Moses (Exo.24.1,9). ¶However, Abihu and his brother Nadab offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, and fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died (Lev.10.1-2; Num.3.4; 26.61).

This may refer to offering incense that was not prepared according to God's instructions, or performing this in a wrong manner or at an inappropriate time. Their deaths served as a stern warning against improper worship. After this incident, God gave Aaron further regulations for priestly service and conduct (Lev.10.8-11).

This indicates that the priestly division named after Abijah continued to function even during the time of Jesus, several centuries after its establishment.

The prophet also revealed that Abijah would die, and indeed, as soon as Jeroboam's wife returned home, the child died (1Ki.14.12-17). ¶Ahijah prophesied that Abijah would be the only one of Jeroboam's family to receive a proper burial because he was the only one in whom God found something good (1Ki.14.13).

He was the son of Rehoboam and Maacah, the daughter of Absalom (2Ch.11.20). Abijah reigned for three years in Jerusalem (2Ch.13.1-2; 1Ki.15.1-2). ¶During his reign, there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam, the king of Israel (2Ch.13.3). In a battle at Mount Zemaraim, Abijah addressed the Israelites, emphasizing the legitimacy of the Davidic dynasty and the importance of the Levitical priesthood (2Ch.13.4-12). Despite being outnumbered, Judah prevailed against Israel because they relied on the Lord (2Ch.13.13-18). ¶Abijah expanded his power, taking cities from Jeroboam and growing stronger (2Ch.13.19-21). However, like his father Rehoboam, Abijah did not fully follow the Lord and allowed idolatry to persist in Judah (1Ki.15.3). He walked in all the sins of his father and did not have a fully devoted heart like his ancestor David (1Ki.15.3). ¶Abijah had fourteen wives and fathered twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters (2Ch.13.21).

They turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice (1Sa.8.3). ¶The corrupt behavior of Abijah and Joel led the elders of Israel to demand a king to rule over them, rejecting the leadership of Samuel and his sons (1Sa.8.4-5). This event marked the transition from the period of the judges to the establishment of the monarchy in Israel.

He is mentioned in several incidents involving the patriarchs Abraham and Isaac. In Genesis 20, Abraham moved to Gerar and, out of fear, claimed that his wife Sarah was his sister. Abimelech took Sarah into his household, but God warned him in a dream that she was Abraham's wife. Abimelech, who had not touched Sarah, pleaded his innocence, and God acknowledged that he had acted in integrity. Abimelech then restored Sarah to Abraham, along with gifts of livestock and servants, and allowed Abraham to settle in his land (Gen.20.1-18). ¶Later, in Genesis 21, Abimelech and his commander Phicol made a treaty with Abraham at Beersheba, recognizing Abraham's right to a well he had dug (Gen.21.22-34). ¶In Genesis 26, Isaac, like his father, claimed that his wife Rebekah was his sister while living in Gerar. Abimelech discovered the truth when he saw Isaac caressing Rebekah. He rebuked Isaac for the deception, fearing that one of his people might have slept with Rebekah and brought guilt upon them. Abimelech warned his people not to touch Isaac or Rebekah under penalty of death (Gen.26.1-11). ¶Despite these incidents, Abimelech recognized the blessing of God upon Abraham and Isaac. He sought peace with them, and they made treaties together (Gen.21.22-34; 26.26-33). The interactions between Abimelech and the patriarchs highlight the challenges and tensions that existed between the people of God and the surrounding nations, as well as God's faithfulness in protecting and blessing His chosen people. ========== PERSON(s) Abimelech@Jdg.8.31-2Sa=H0040H Judge living before Israel's Monarchy Gideon@Jdg.6.11-Heb + Jether@Jdg.8.20, Jotham@Jdg.9.5- > #A Judge living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Jdg.8.31;

After Gideon's death, Abimelech conspired with his mother's family in Shechem to make himself king. He killed his seventy brothers, with only the youngest, Jotham, escaping (Jdg.9.1-6). ¶Jotham confronted the people of Shechem with a parable, warning them of the consequences of their actions in supporting Abimelech (Jdg.9.7-21). After three years, tensions arose between Abimelech and the people of Shechem, who eventually rebelled against him. Abimelech defeated the Shechemites and destroyed their city, sowing it with salt (Jdg.9.22-49). ¶Abimelech then attacked the city of Thebez. During the siege, a woman dropped an upper millstone on his head, severely wounding him. To avoid the disgrace of being killed by a woman, Abimelech ordered his armor-bearer to kill him with a sword (Jdg.9.50-54). His death was seen as God's judgment for his wickedness in killing his brothers (Jdg.9.56-57). ¶Abimelech's story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of ambition, treachery, and the abuse of power. It also demonstrates the consequences of failing to follow God's leadership and the importance of loyalty and integrity in relationships. ¶The death of Abimelech by a millstone is later referenced by David when he learns of the death of Uriah the Hittite in battle (2Sa.11.21), highlighting the ignominy associated with Abimelech's demise. ========== PERSON(s) Abinadab@1Ki.4.11=H0041J Man living at the time of United Monarchy + Ben-abinadab@1Ki.4.11 > #A man living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ki.4.11;

The Philistines found their bodies the following day and fastened Saul's body to the wall of Beth-shan, while the bodies of his sons were taken to Jabesh-gilead and buried there (1Sa.31.8-13). ¶The death of Abinadab and his brothers marked the end of Saul's reign and paved the way for David to become king over Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Abinadab@1Sa.16.8-1Ch=H0041I David's brother living at the time of United Monarchy Jesse@Rut.4.17-Rom + Nahash@2Sa.17.25 David@Rut.4.17-Rev, Eliab@1Sa.16.6-2Ch, Shimeah@1Sa.16.9-1Ch, Nethanel@1Ch.2.14, Raddai@1Ch.2.14, Ozem@1Ch.2.15, Elihu@1Ch.27.18, Zeruiah@1Sa.26.6-1Ch, Abigail@2Sa.17.25-1Ch(?)

The ark had been captured by the Philistines in battle, but after God afflicted them with plagues, they sent it back to Israel (1 Samuel 5-6). The men of Beth-shemesh, where the ark first arrived, were struck down by God for looking into the ark, so they sent messengers to Kiriath-jearim to take the ark away (1Sa.6.19-21). ¶The ark remained in Abinadab's house until King David decided to bring it to Jerusalem. David and the Israelites went to Abinadab's house to retrieve the ark, placing it on a new cart driven by Abinadab's sons, Uzzah and Ahio (2Sa.6.3; 1Ch.13.7). However, when the oxen stumbled and Uzzah reached out to steady the ark, God struck him down for his irreverence (2Sa.6.6-7).

Barak was from Kedesh in Naphtali, a region in northern Israel (Jdg.4.6). ¶When Israel was oppressed by Jabin, the king of Canaan, and his commander Sisera, the prophetess Deborah summoned Barak and instructed him to gather 10,000 men from the tribes of Naphtali and Zebulun to mount an attack against Sisera's army (Jdg.4.6-7). Barak agreed to go only if Deborah would accompany him, to which she consented, but prophesied that the glory of the victory would go to a woman (Jdg.4.8-9). ¶Barak and his army defeated Sisera's forces, and Sisera himself was killed by Jael, a woman who invited him into her tent and drove a tent peg through his temple while he slept (Jdg.4.12-24). ¶After the victory, Deborah and Barak sang a song of praise to the Lord, recounting the events of the battle and celebrating the triumph of Israel over their oppressors (Jdg.5.1-31).

This fulfilled the prophecy spoken by Joshua after the conquest of Jericho, stating that whoever rebuilt the city would do so at the cost of his firstborn son (Jos.6.26). ¶The death of Abiram as a consequence of his father's actions serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience to God's commands and the seriousness of disregarding His warnings.

When summoned by Moses, Abiram and Dathan refused to come, accusing Moses of failing to bring them into a land flowing with milk and honey and trying to make himself a prince over them (Num.16.12-14). ¶In response to the rebellion, Moses proposed a test to demonstrate whom God had chosen. Korah and his followers were to present themselves before the Lord with censers, and God would show who was holy (Num.16.16-19). God warned Moses and Aaron to separate themselves from the rebels so that He could consume them, but Moses interceded for the people (Num.16.20-22). ¶God then commanded the congregation to move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Moses declared that if these men died a natural death, then the Lord had not sent him, but if the earth swallowed them up, then they had rejected the Lord (Num.16.23-30). As soon as Moses finished speaking, the ground split apart and swallowed up Korah, Dathan, Abiram, their households, and all their possessions (Num.16.31-33; Psalm Num.106.17). ¶The sons of Korah, however, did not die (Num.26.11). The rebellion of Abiram and his co-conspirators served as a warning to the Israelites not to challenge God's appointed leaders (Deu.11.6). The New Testament also refers to this incident as an example of God's judgment against those who reject His authority (Jude 11). ========== PERSON(s) Abishag@1Ki.1.3-=H0049 Woman living at the time of United Monarchy + > #A woman living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ki.1.3;

She was brought to the king to keep him warm and to attend to his needs, but David did not have sexual relations with her (1Ki.1.4). ¶After David's death, his son Adonijah, who had previously attempted to claim the throne, approached Bathsheba, Solomon's mother. He requested that she ask King Solomon to give him Abishag as his wife (1Ki.2.17). However, Solomon perceived this request as a challenge to his kingship, as taking the king's concubine was a symbolic claim to the throne (2Sa.16.21-22). ¶Solomon responded with anger, interpreting Adonijah's request as tantamount to asking for the kingdom itself. He vowed that Adonijah's request would cost him his life (1Ki.2.22-23). Subsequently, Solomon ordered Benaiah to execute Adonijah (1Ki.2.25). The incident with Abishag reveals the political intrigues and power struggles that occurred during the transition of power from David to Solomon. It also underscores the significance of the king's concubines in the context of royal succession in ancient Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Abishai@1Sa.26.6-1Ch=H0052 David's warrior living at the time of United Monarchy husband_of_Zeruiah@1Sa.26.6 + Zeruiah@1Sa.26.6-1Ch Joab@1Sa.26.6-Psa, Asahel@2Sa.2.18-1Ch Tribe of Judah #A warrior living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Sa.26.6;

However, David refused to allow Abishai to harm the Lord's anointed (1Sa.26.9-11). ¶Abishai played a significant role in many of David's military campaigns. He fought alongside Joab against Abner and the forces of Ish-bosheth (2Sa.2.24). After Abner killed Asahel, Joab and Abishai pursued him but were convinced to halt their pursuit (2Sa.2.24-28). Later, Abishai supported Joab in avenging Asahel's death by killing Abner (2Sa.3.30). ¶In the battle against the Ammonites, Abishai led a division of the army and helped secure victory for Israel (2Sa.10.10-14; 1Ch.19.11-15). He also accompanied David during the rebellion of Absalom and was one of the three commanders of David's forces (2Sa.18.2,5,12). ¶Abishai intervened to save David's life when a giant named Ishbi-benob threatened to kill the king (2Sa.21.17). He was also known for his bravery and military exploits, being credited with killing three hundred men with his spear (2Sa.23.18; 1Ch.11.20). ¶Throughout David's reign, Abishai remained a loyal and trusted commander, playing a crucial role in maintaining David's kingdom and defending Israel against its enemies. ========== PERSON(s) Abishua@1Ch.6.4-Ezr=H0050G Priest living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Phinehas@Exo.6.25-Psa + Bukki@1Ch.6.5-Ezr Tribe of Levi #A priest from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at 1Ch.6.4;

He served as the commander of Saul's army (1Sa.14.50-51). Abner was a prominent figure during Saul's reign and demonstrated his loyalty to the king, as seen in his interactions with David (1Sa.17.55-57; 20.25; 26.5-15). ¶After Saul's death, Abner supported Saul's son Ish-bosheth as king over Israel, while David reigned over Judah (2Sa.2.8-10). During this time, there was a long war between the houses of Saul and David (2Sa.3.1). Abner led Ish-bosheth's forces against David's army, commanded by Joab (2Sa.2.12-17). In a battle at Gibeon, Abner killed Joab's brother Asahel, who had pursued him (2Sa.2.18-23). ¶Later, Abner defected to David after a dispute with Ish-bosheth (2Sa.3.6-21). He worked to transfer the kingdom to David and made an agreement with him (2Sa.3.12-21). However, Joab, seeking revenge for his brother's death, murdered Abner (2Sa.3.22-27). David mourned Abner's death and declared his innocence in the matter (2Sa.3.28-39). ¶Abner's defection and death weakened Ish-bosheth's position, and he was eventually assassinated (2Sa.4.1-8). This paved the way for David to become king over all Israel (2Sa.5.1-5). David later reminded Solomon of Joab's actions against Abner (1Ki.2.5, 32). Abner is also mentioned in connection with the treasures dedicated to the Lord (1Ch.26.28) and as the father of Jaasiel, a leader in David's army (1Ch.27.21). ========== PERSON(s) Abraham@Gen.11.26-1Pe=H0085 Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Terah@Gen.11.24-Luk + Nahor@Gen.11.26-, Haran@Gen.11.26-, Sarah@Gen.11.29-1Pe Sarah@Gen.11.29-1Pe, Hagar@Gen.16.1-Gal, Keturah@Gen.25.1-1Ch Ishmael@Gen.16.11-Psa, Isaac@Gen.17.19-Jas, Zimran@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Jokshan@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Medan@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Midian@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Ishbak@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Shuah@Gen.25.2-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.11.26;

He was born in Ur of the Chaldeans and was the son of Terah (Gen.11.26-31). God called Abram to leave his country and family and go to a land that He would show him, promising to make him a great nation and to bless all peoples through him (Gen.12.1-3). ¶Abram obeyed God and journeyed to Canaan with his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot (Gen.12.4-5). God reaffirmed His covenant with Abram, promising him numerous descendants and the land of Canaan (Gen.13.14-17; 15.1-21). God changed Abram's name to Abraham, meaning "father of many," and Sarai's name to Sarah (Gen.17.1-16). ¶Despite their advanced age, Abraham and Sarah miraculously bore a son, Isaac, through whom God's covenant would be established (Gen.18.1-15; 21.1-7). Abraham demonstrated his faith and obedience when God tested him by asking him to sacrifice Isaac (Gen.22.1-19). God provided a ram as a substitute, reaffirming His promise to Abraham (Gen.22.15-18). ¶Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness (Gen.15.6; Rom.4.3; Gal.3.6; Jam 2.23). He became known as the father of the faithful and the friend of God (Isa.41.8; 2Ch.20.7; Jam 2.23). God's covenant with Abraham, which included the promise of land, descendants, and blessing, was passed down to his son Isaac and grandson Israel (or 'Jacob') (Gen.26.1-5; 28.10-15). ¶The life and faith of Abraham are significant in both the Old and New Testaments. He is recognized as the ancestor of the Israelites (Exo.2.24; 3.6, 15-16; 4.5) and is mentioned in connection with God's faithfulness and His promises (Exo.6.8; 32.13; 33.1; Lev.26.42). In the New Testament, Abraham is upheld as an example of faith (Rom.4.1-3, 9, 12, 16; Gal.3.6-9, 14, 29; Heb.11.8-19) and is identified as the spiritual father of all believers (Rom.4.11-12, 16-17; Gal.3.7, 29). ¶Jesus Christ is identified as the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham (Mat.1.1; Gal.3.16). Through faith in Christ, believers from all nations become part of Abraham's spiritual lineage and heirs to the promises made to him (Gal.3.7-9, 14, 26-29). ========== PERSON(s) Absalom@2Sa.3.3-Psa=H0053 David's son living at the time of United Monarchy David@Rut.4.17-Rev + Maacah@2Sa.3.3-1Ch Amnon@2Sa.3.2-1Ch, Chileab@2Sa.3.3-1Ch, Adonijah@2Sa.3.4-1Ch, Shephatiah@2Sa.3.4-1Ch, Ithream@2Sa.3.5-1Ch, Shammua@2Sa.5.14-1Ch, Shobab@2Sa.5.14-1Ch, Nathan@2Sa.5.14-Luk, Solomon@2Sa.5.14-Act, Ibhar@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Elishua@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Nepheg@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Japhia@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Elishama@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Eliada@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Eliphelet@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Tamar@2Sa.13.1-1Ch, Elpelet@1Ch.3.6-, Nogah@1Ch.3.7-, Jerimoth@2Ch.11.18 Tamar@2Sa.14.27 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.3.3;

He then fled to Geshur for three years before Joab, David's general, arranged for his return (2Sa. 14). ¶Later, Absalom launched a rebellion against David, proclaiming himself king in Hebron (2Sa. 15). David was forced to flee from Jerusalem, and Absalom took advice to pursue him with his forces (2Sa. 16-17). However, David's men defeated Absalom's army, and Absalom himself was killed by Joab against David's wishes (2Sa. 18).

When Joshua sought the Lord's guidance, God revealed that someone had stolen from the devoted things (Jos. 7:10-15). ¶Through a process of elimination, Achan was identified as the culprit (Jos. 7:16-18). He confessed to taking a beautiful cloak from Shinar, silver, and gold, hiding them in his tent (Jos. 7:19-21). As a result, Achan and his family were stoned to death, and their remains were burned (Jos. 7:24-25). The place where this occurred was named the Valley of Achor, meaning "trouble" (Jos. 7:26).

He was the son of Micaiah and the father of Elnathan (2Ki.22.12; Jer.36.12). ¶During the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign, when the Book of the Law was discovered in the temple, Achbor was one of the officials sent by the king to inquire of the Lord concerning the words of the book (2Ki.22.12-14; 2Ch.34.20). Along with other officials, Achbor went to the prophetess Huldah, who delivered a message from God confirming the authenticity of the book and the impending judgment on Judah for their disobedience (2Ki.22.15-20; 2Ch.34.22-28). ¶Achbor's son Elnathan is mentioned as one of the officials who urged King Jehoiakim not to burn the scroll containing the prophecies of Jeremiah (Jer.36.12,25). Elnathan was also involved in bringing the prophet Uriah back from Egypt to face Jehoiakim's judgment (Jer.26.22). ¶Achbor's involvement in the discovery of the Book of the Law and his consultation with the prophetess Huldah highlight his role in the religious reforms initiated by King Josiah, which sought to restore proper worship and obedience to God's commandments in Judah. ========== PERSON(s) Achbor@Gen.36.38-1Ch=H5907G King living at the time of the Patriarchs + Baal-hanan@Gen.36.38-1Ch Edom #A king of Edom living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.36.38;

When David fled from Saul, he sought refuge in Gath, pretending to be insane to avoid being perceived as a threat (1Sa.21.10-15). Achish's servants recognized David as the celebrated Israelite warrior, but David's act of insanity convinced Achish to dismiss him (1Sa.21.11-15). ¶Later, when David was again fleeing from Saul, he returned to Achish in Gath, this time with a group of 600 men (1Sa.27.1-4). Achish granted David and his men the town of Ziklag as a base (1Sa.27.5-6). David and his men raided the Geshurites, Girzites, and Amalekites, but deceived Achish into believing that they were raiding the Israelites and their allies (1Sa.27.8-12). ¶When the Philistines gathered their forces to fight against Israel, Achish brought David and his men with him (1Sa.28.1-2). However, the Philistine commanders objected to David's presence, fearing that he might turn against them in battle (1Sa.29.1-5). Achish, trusting in David's loyalty, defended him, but ultimately sent him back to Ziklag (1Sa.29.6-11). ¶After David became king, some of his servants fled to Achish in Gath (1Ki.2.39-40), indicating that David maintained a relationship with Achish even after becoming king. ¶Psalm 34 is attributed to David when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech (Achish), who drove him away (Psalm 1Ki.34.1). The psalm expresses David's trust in God and his deliverance from fear and trouble. ========== PERSON(s) Achsah@1Ch.2.49=H5915H Woman living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Caleb@1Ch.2.9- + Hur@Exo.17.10-2Ch, Jesher@1Ch.2.18, Shobab@1Ch.2.18, Ardon@1Ch.2.18, Mesha@1Ch.2.42, Haran@1Ch.2.46, Moza@1Ch.2.46, Gazez@1Ch.2.46a, Sheber@1Ch.2.48, Tirhanah@1Ch.2.48, Regem@1Ch.2.47, Jotham@1Ch.2.47, Geshan@1Ch.2.47, Pelet@1Ch.2.47, Ephah@1Ch.2.47, Shaaph@1Ch.2.47, Shaaph@1Ch.2.49, Sheva@1Ch.2.49 Tribe of Judah #A woman from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at 1Ch.2.49;

Caleb granted her request and gave her the upper and lower springs (Jos.15.19; Jdg.1.15). ¶Achsah's story highlights the importance of water resources in the arid regions of Canaan and demonstrates the boldness and resourcefulness of a woman in securing a valuable blessing for herself and her husband. Her request for springs of water also shows the significance of a father's blessing and provision for his daughter upon her marriage. ========== PERSON(s) Adah@Gen.26.34-=H5711H Woman living at the time before the Flood Elon@Gen.26.34- + Esau@Gen.25.25-Heb Eliphaz@Gen.36.4-1Ch Edom #A woman living at the time before the Flood, first mentioned at Gen.26.34;

She was a Hittite, the daughter of Elon (Gen.36.2; 26.34). Esau's marriage to Hittite women was a source of grief for his parents (Gen.26.34-35). ¶Adah gave birth to Eliphaz, who became one of the chiefs in the land of Edom (Gen.36.4,10). Eliphaz had several sons, including Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz, who also became chiefs in Edom (Gen.36.11-12,15-16). ¶In the genealogy of Esau, Adah is mentioned alongside Esau's other wives, Oholibamah and Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael (Gen.36.2-3). However, there is some confusion regarding the names of Esau's wives, as Basemath is also referred to as the daughter of Elon the Hittite (Gen.26.34), suggesting that Adah and Basemath may be two names for the same person. ¶Adah's role in the narrative is primarily as the mother of Eliphaz and an ancestor of the Edomites. Her Hittite origin underscores Esau's willingness to marry outside of the family lineage, in contrast to the endogamous marriages of Isaac and Israel (or 'Jacob'). ========== PERSON(s) Adah@Gen.4.19-=H5711G Woman living at the time before the Flood + Lamech@Gen.4.18- Jabal@Gen.4.20, Jubal@Gen.4.21 > #A woman living at the time before the Flood, first mentioned at Gen.4.19;

Jubal was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe, suggesting that he was the first to develop musical instruments (Gen.4.21). ¶In Lamech's speech to his wives (Gen.4.23-24), he mentions Adah by name, along with Zillah, as he boasts about his violent actions and asserts his own form of justice.

His mention in the genealogies serves to highlight the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that Ishmael would father twelve princes and become a great nation (Gen.17.20). ¶The Ishmaelites, including the descendants of Adbeel, played a significant role in the ancient Near East as nomadic traders and were known for their involvement in the spice trade (Gen.37.25-28). They also had interactions with the Israelites throughout history, sometimes as allies and other times as adversaries. ========== PERSON(s) Addar@1Ch.8.3=H0146H Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Bela@Gen.46.21-1Ch + Ard@Num.26.40, Naaman@Num.26.40-1Ch, Ezbon@1Ch.7.7, Uzzi@1Ch.7.7, Uzziel@1Ch.7.7, Jerimoth@1Ch.7.7, Iri@1Ch.7.7, Gera@1Ch.8.3, Abihud@1Ch.8.3, Abishua@1Ch.8.4, Ahoah@2Sa.23.9-1Ch Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at 1Ch.8.3;

He was called Adino the Eznite because he had killed eight hundred men at one time." Here, Adino seems to be an alternate name or title for Josheb-Basshebeth. ¶However, other translations, such as the New International Version, render the verse differently: "Josheb-Basshebeth, a Tahkemonite, was chief of the Three; he raised his spear against eight hundred men, whom he killed in one encounter."

He ruled over the city of Bezek, which was located in the territory allocated to the tribe of Judah after the Israelites entered the Promised Land. ¶According to the account in Judges, the men of Judah and Simeon fought against Adoni-bezek and defeated him. During the battle, Adoni-bezek fled, but he was pursued, caught, and captured by the Israelites. ¶As punishment for his cruelty, the Israelites cut off Adoni-bezek's thumbs and big toes. This was an act of retribution, as Adoni-bezek himself confessed that he had done the same to seventy other kings who had gathered scraps under his table. The seventy kings Adoni-bezek mutilated likely represented the extent of his power and dominion over the surrounding areas. ¶Adoni-bezek acknowledged the justice of his punishment, stating, "As I have done, so God has repaid me" (Jdg.1.7). This statement reflects the biblical principle of reaping what one sows and the concept of divine retribution for evil deeds. ¶After his capture and mutilation, Adoni-bezek was brought to Jerusalem, where he died. The defeat of Adoni-bezek was part of the larger conquest of Canaan by the Israelites under the leadership of Joshua and the subsequent judges. ========== PERSON(s) Adonijah@2Ch.17.8=H0138H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ch.17.8;

Jehoshaphat, known for his devotion to God, sought to strengthen the spiritual foundation of his kingdom by sending out teachers to instruct the people in the ways of the Lord. ¶Adonijah, along with other Levites, priests, and officials, was entrusted with the task of traveling to the cities of Judah and educating the people about the Law of God. This educational mission was part of Jehoshaphat's reforms to bring the nation back to the proper worship and obedience to the Lord. ¶The inclusion of Adonijah in this group of teachers highlights the importance of the Levites' role in preserving and transmitting the knowledge of God's Law to the people. As a Levite, Adonijah would have been well-versed in the scriptures and equipped to teach others. ¶Apart from this brief mention, no other details are provided about Adonijah's background, family, or personal life.

He was the son of Haggith and was born after Absalom, who had also rebelled against David. ¶When King David was old and frail, Adonijah exalted himself, declaring, "I will be king" (1Ki.1.5). He prepared chariots, horses, and fifty men to run before him, and he conferred with Joab, the commander of the army, and Abiathar the priest, who followed and supported him. However, he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or his brother Solomon to his coronation (1Ki.1.7-10). ¶Nathan, aware of Adonijah's actions, advised Bathsheba, Solomon's mother, to inform David and remind him of his oath to make Solomon king after him. David, upon hearing this, confirmed his choice of Solomon and ordered his anointing and proclamation as king (1Ki.1.11-40). ¶When Adonijah and his supporters heard that Solomon had been anointed king, they fled in fear. Adonijah took hold of the horns of the altar, seeking protection. Solomon spared his life on the condition that he would show himself to be a worthy man (1Ki.1.50-53). ¶However, after David's death, Adonijah made a request through Bathsheba to be given Abishag the Shunammite, who had been David's companion in his old age, as his wife. Solomon perceived this request as a claim to the throne and ordered Benaiah to execute Adonijah (1Ki.2.13-25). ¶Adonijah's story serves as a warning against ambition and rebellion, highlighting the importance of submitting to God's chosen leadership and the consequences of seeking power through illegitimate means. ========== PERSON(s) Adonijah@Neh.10.16=H0138I Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.10.16;

Adonijah's inclusion in this list indicates his leadership role among the Levites and his dedication to the spiritual renewal of the community. ¶The covenant included various obligations, such as observing the Sabbath, providing for the temple service, and refraining from intermarriage with the surrounding nations (Neh.10.28-39).

In this passage, the last sons of Adonikam are specifically named as Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, along with 60 males. ¶The variations in the numbers of Adonikam's descendants between the lists in Ezra and Nehemiah may be due to different counting methods or the inclusion of additional family members in one of the lists. ¶The repeated mention of Adonikam's descendants in these lists emphasizes the continuity of the Jewish community and the importance of recording the genealogies of those who returned from exile.

Gibeon was a significant city, and its alliance with Israel posed a threat to the other Amorite kings in the region. ¶Adoni-zedek formed an alliance with four other Amorite kings: Hoham of Hebron, Piram of Jarmuth, Japhia of Lachish, and Debir of Eglon. Together, they attacked Gibeon to punish them for making peace with Israel (Jos.10.3-4). ¶The Gibeonites sent word to Joshua, requesting help, and Joshua marched all night with his army to come to their aid. In the ensuing battle, the Lord threw the Amorite kings into confusion, and Israel defeated them with a great slaughter. The five kings fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah (Jos.10.5-16). ¶Joshua commanded that the cave be sealed until the battle was finished. After the victory, he brought the five kings out of the cave, and the Israelite commanders put their feet on the kings' necks, symbolizing their complete defeat. Joshua then struck and killed the kings, hanging their bodies on trees until evening (Jos.10.17-27). ¶The defeat of Adoni-zedek and the other Amorite kings was a significant victory for Israel, demonstrating God's power and faithfulness in giving them the Promised Land.

(Jer.39.14; 40.5-6) ¶Gedaliah establishes his headquarters at Mizpah and encourages the remaining people in Judah to serve the Babylonians. (Jer.40.7-12) However, Ishmael, a member of the royal family, murders Gedaliah and those with him, causing the people to flee to Egypt out of fear of Babylonian reprisal.

He was the son of Ahitub and the father of Abiathar. When David was fleeing from Saul, he came to Ahimelech at Nob seeking help. Ahimelech, unaware of the conflict between David and Saul, provided David with the consecrated bread and the sword of Goliath. (1Sa.21.1-9) ¶Doeg the Edomite, one of Saul's servants, witnessed this interaction and reported it to Saul. Saul summoned Ahimelech and the other priests, accusing them of conspiring with David against him. Despite Ahimelech's defense of his actions, Saul ordered the execution of the priests. Doeg carried out the order, killing Ahimelech and eighty-four other priests. (1Sa.22.9-19). ¶Abiathar, Ahimelech's son, was the only one who escaped the massacre.

(2Sa.17.1-4) However, Absalom also sought the advice of Hushai the Archite, who was secretly loyal to David. Hushai convinced Absalom to delay the attack, giving David time to regroup and strengthen his forces. (2Sa.17.5-14) ¶When Ahithophel saw that his advice was not followed, he returned to his home, put his household in order, and hanged himself, realizing that Absalom's cause was doomed to fail. (2Sa.17.23) ¶Ahithophel's betrayal and subsequent suicide are seen as a fulfillment of David's prayer and demonstrate the consequences of turning against God's anointed king. His story serves as a warning against pride, ambition, and disloyalty, and highlights the importance of seeking and following wise counsel that aligns with God's will. ========== PERSON(s) Ahitub@1Ch.6.11-Ezr=H0285I Priest living at the time of Divided Monarchy Amariah@1Ch.6.11-Ezr + Zadok@1Ch.6.12-Neh Tribe of Levi #A priest from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.6.11;

In the first letter to Timothy, Paul writes that he had handed Alexander and Hymenaeus over to Satan, so that they might learn not to blaspheme. (1Ti.1.20) ¶Hymenaeus and Alexander had apparently departed from the truth and were promoting false teachings that were contrary to Paul's message. By handing them over to Satan, Paul was likely indicating that he had removed them from the protection and fellowship of the church, allowing them to experience the consequences of their actions and hopefully leading them to repentance. ¶In the second letter to Timothy, written near the end of Paul's life, he mentions Alexander the coppersmith, who had done him great harm and strongly opposed his message. (2Ti.4.14) It is not clear whether this is the same Alexander mentioned in the first letter, but both individuals are portrayed as antagonists to Paul and his ministry. ¶Paul warns Timothy to be on guard against Alexander, suggesting that he posed a significant threat to the church and its teachings. Paul also expresses his trust in God's justice, stating that the Lord will repay Alexander for his actions.

Paul wanted to address the crowd, but the disciples would not let him.

The Jews may have been concerned that they would be blamed for the disturbance caused by Paul's preaching. (Act.19.33) ¶However, when the crowd realized that Alexander was a Jew, they shouted him down, chanting "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" for about two hours.

He was a cousin of Joab, David's military commander. (2Sa.17.25; 1Ch.2.17) ¶During Absalom's rebellion against David, Amasa was appointed as the commander of Absalom's army. (2Sa.17.25) After Absalom's defeat and death, David sought to reconcile with the rebellious factions and offered Amasa the position of commander over his army, replacing Joab. (2Sa.19.13). ¶However, when David ordered Amasa to assemble the men of Judah to counter a revolt led by Sheba, Amasa took longer than the allotted time. David then dispatched Abishai to pursue Sheba, with Joab and his men following. (2Sa.20.4-7) ¶When Amasa caught up with them, Joab approached him as if to greet him, but instead killed him with a sword. Joab then continued the pursuit of Sheba. (2Sa.20.8-13) ¶Joab's murder of Amasa was likely motivated by jealousy and a desire to maintain his position as David's military commander. David, however, saw this act as a betrayal and later instructed his son Solomon to bring judgment upon Joab for the deaths of Amasa and Abner. (1Ki.2.5-6) ¶The story of Amasa highlights the complex relationships and power struggles within David's family and his kingdom. It also demonstrates the consequences of loyalty, betrayal, and the struggle for power in the royal court. ========== PERSON(s) Amasai@1Ch.12.18=H6022H Warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.12.18;

The Amorite kings Sihon and Og, who ruled over the territories east of the Jordan River, were defeated by the Israelites under Moses' leadership. ¶After the conquest of Canaan under Joshua, the Amorites were among the groups that the Israelites failed to completely drive out. They remained a significant presence in the land, often oppressing the Israelites during the time of the judges. ¶The Amorites are mentioned throughout the historical books of the Old Testament as one of the primary enemies of Israel. Their presence in the land was a result of the Israelites' disobedience to God's command to completely remove them. ¶The prophets Ezekiel and Amos also refer to the Amorites, using them as an example of the wickedness that Israel had adopted. The complete destruction of the Amorites was a sign of God's judgment against their sinful practices. ========== PERSON(s) Amos@Amo.1.1-=H5986 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at Amo.1.1;

The Sepharvites were a people group from the Assyrian Empire who were brought to Samaria by the Assyrian king after the deportation of the Israelites. They settled in the cities of Samaria and continued to worship their own gods, including Anammelech. ¶The worship of Anammelech involved child sacrifice, as the Sepharvites were known to "burn their children in the fire" as part of their religious practices. This abhorrent act was strongly condemned by God and was one of the reasons for His judgment against the foreign nations who had been settled in Samaria. ¶The name "Anammelech" is believed to mean "Anu is king" or "Anu is prince," referring to the Mesopotamian sky god Anu. This connection suggests that Anammelech may have been a local deity or a manifestation of Anu worshiped by the Sepharvites. The worship of foreign gods, including Anammelech, was a violation of God's covenant with Israel and demonstrated the syncretistic practices that led to the downfall of the Northern Kingdom. ========== PERSON(s) Anan@Neh.10.26=H6052 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.10.26;

He is first mentioned in the book of Acts as a learned man who spoke with great fervor and taught about Jesus accurately, though he knew only the baptism of John. After receiving further instruction from Priscilla and Aquila in Ephesus, Apollos went to Achaia and greatly helped the believers there, vigorously refuting the Jews in public debate and proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Messiah. ¶In Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, Apollos is mentioned as one of the leaders that some of the Corinthian believers were aligning themselves with, alongside Paul and Cephas (Peter). Paul clarifies that both he and Apollos are merely servants through whom the Corinthians came to believe, each serving the role God had assigned to them. Paul planted, Apollos watered, but God made it grow. Paul also mentions Apollos as a positive example when discussing the need for humility and unity among believers. ¶Later, in Paul's letter to Titus, Apollos is mentioned again as someone Paul encourages Titus to help on his journey, together with Zenas the lawyer. This suggests that Apollos continued to be actively involved in ministry and was a valued co-worker in spreading the gospel message. ========== PERSON(s) Appaim@1Ch.2.30-=H0649 People from Aph(?)

Paul addresses her as "our sister," indicating that she was a fellow believer and likely a member of Philemon's household. Some scholars suggest that Apphia may have been Philemon's wife, but this is not explicitly stated in the text. ¶The letter to Philemon is a personal appeal from Paul regarding Onesimus, a runaway slave who had become a Christian under Paul's ministry. Paul sends Onesimus back to Philemon, his master, with this letter, urging Philemon to receive Onesimus back not as a slave, but as a beloved brother in Christ. By addressing the letter to Apphia and Archippus as well, Paul emphasizes the communal nature of the request and the shared responsibility of the Christian community in welcoming Onesimus. Beyond this mention in the letter to Philemon, no further details about Apphia's life or role in the early church are provided in the Bible. ========== PERSON(s) Aquila@Act.18.2-2Ti=G0207 Man living at the time of the New Testament + Priscilla@Act.18.2-2Ti > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.18.2;

He is first mentioned in the book of Acts as a tentmaker who had recently come to Corinth from Italy due to the emperor Claudius' decree expelling all Jews from Rome. Paul, also a tentmaker, stayed and worked with Aquila and Priscilla during his time in Corinth. ¶When Paul left Corinth, Aquila and Priscilla accompanied him to Ephesus. There, they met Apollos, an eloquent Jewish Christian from Alexandria who knew only the baptism of John. Aquila and Priscilla took Apollos aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately, enabling him to continue his effective ministry. ¶In Paul's letter to the Romans, he sends greetings to Aquila and Priscilla, commending them as his co-workers in Christ Jesus who risked their lives for him. Paul also mentions that the church met in their house, indicating their significant role in hosting and supporting the local Christian community. ¶Aquila and Priscilla are mentioned again in Paul's first letter to the Corinthians, where he sends greetings from them and the church that meets at their house. Finally, in Paul's second letter to Timothy, he asks Timothy to greet Aquila and Priscilla, demonstrating their ongoing involvement in the ministry and their close relationship with Paul and his associates. ========== PERSON(s) Ara@1Ch.7.38=H0690 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Ithran@1Ch.7.37- + Jephunneh@1Ch.7.38, Pispa@1Ch.7.38 Tribe of Asher #A man from the tribe of Asher living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.7.38;

Arba is described as the greatest man among the Anakim, a group of people known for their large stature and strength. The Anakim were descendants of Anak and were considered a formidable enemy by the Israelites during their conquest of Canaan.

After Herod's death, his kingdom was divided among his sons, with Archelaus receiving the rule over Judea, Samaria, and Idumea. However, Archelaus' reign was marked by cruelty and tyranny, leading to his eventual banishment by the Roman emperor. ¶In the context of Jesus' early life, Archelaus is mentioned in Mat.2.22. After the visit of the magi and the family's flight to Egypt, Joseph was warned in a dream not to return to Judea because Archelaus was ruling there in place of his father Herod. Fearing for the child's safety, Joseph instead took Mary and Jesus to the region of Galilee, settling in Nazareth.

In the letter to the Colossians, Paul instructs the church to tell Archippus, "See to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord" (Col. 4:17). This suggests that Archippus held a position of responsibility within the church at Colossae and that Paul wanted to encourage him to fulfill his duties faithfully. ¶In the letter to Philemon, Archippus is addressed alongside Philemon and Apphia as a "fellow soldier" (Phm. 1:2). This military metaphor indicates that Archippus was a committed and active member of the Christian community, working alongside others to advance the gospel message. The inclusion of Archippus in the opening of this personal letter also suggests a close relationship between him and Paul, as well as with Philemon and Apphia. ¶While no further details about Archippus' life or specific ministry are provided in the biblical text, these brief mentions highlight his importance within the early church and Paul's desire to encourage and support him in his Christian service. ========== PERSON(s) Archites@Jos.16.2-1Ch=H0757 People from Arach(?) + > #A person from Arach(?), first mentioned at Jos.16.2;

In Jos.16.2, the boundary of Ephraim's territory is described as extending from Bethel to Luz and going down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, reaching to Jericho and the Jordan River. This suggests that the Archites inhabited a region in the vicinity of Bethel. ¶The most prominent Archite mentioned in the Bible is Hushai, who is described as King David's friend and advisor. During Absalom's rebellion against David, Hushai remained loyal to the king and acted as a spy in Absalom's court.

According to Paul, the governor under King Aretas guarded the city of Damascus in order to arrest him. This event likely occurred shortly after Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus, as he had begun preaching the gospel and faced opposition from both Jewish and Gentile authorities. ¶Aretas IV Philopatris was the king of the Nabataeans, an Arab kingdom centered in Petra (in modern-day Jordan), from roughly 9 BC to AD 40. The Nabataeans controlled the trade routes in the region, and their influence extended to Damascus during this period. The exact date of Paul's escape from Damascus is uncertain, but it is generally believed to have taken place in the mid-30s AD, during the reign of Aretas IV. ¶The mention of Aretas in 2 Corinthians provides historical context for Paul's early ministry and the challenges he faced as he spread the gospel message.

In the thirteenth year, the five kings rebelled against Chedorlaomer's rule. As a result, Chedorlaomer and his allies, including Arioch, went to war against the rebellious kings. ¶Arioch's kingdom, Ellasar, is not definitively identified but is believed to be located in the region of Mesopotamia. His participation in this battle alongside Chedorlaomer suggests that he was a powerful ruler and had a significant military force at his disposal. ¶The four kings, led by Chedorlaomer, defeated the five kings and captured Lot, Abraham's nephew, along with his possessions. Upon hearing of Lot's capture, Abraham mobilized his trained men and pursued the victorious kings. Abraham successfully defeated Chedorlaomer and his allies, including Arioch, and rescued Lot and his belongings. ¶Apart from this event, no further information is provided about Arioch or his kingdom in the biblical text.

In Susa, the capital, they killed five hundred men and also killed Haman's ten sons, including Arisai (Est.9.9). ¶After this victory, Queen Esther requested that the bodies of Haman's sons be hanged on the gallows, further emphasizing the complete defeat of Haman and his family (Est.9.13-14). The mention of Arisai and his brothers' deaths serves to underscore the reversal of fortune and the triumph of the Jewish people over their enemies, as well as the downfall of those who sought to destroy them. ========== PERSON(s) Aristarchus@Act.19.29-Phm=G0708 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.19.29;

He is mentioned several times in the New Testament, providing insight into his dedication to the gospel and his support of Paul's ministry. ¶In Act.19.29, during the riot in Ephesus, Aristarchus and Gaius are described as Paul's traveling companions who were seized by the mob. This incident highlights the dangers faced by early Christians as they spread the gospel message. ¶Aristarchus is later mentioned as one of the delegates who accompanied Paul on his journey to Jerusalem (Act.20.4), demonstrating his commitment to supporting Paul and the church. In Act.27.2, we learn that Aristarchus was also with Paul during his voyage to Rome as a prisoner, further emphasizing his loyalty and willingness to face hardships for the sake of the gospel. ¶In Paul's letters, Aristarchus is described as a fellow prisoner (Col. Act.4.10) and a fellow worker (Phm. Act.1.24). These references suggest that Aristarchus not only traveled with Paul but also shared in his sufferings and labored alongside him in ministry. ¶Aristarchus' consistent presence in Paul's life, from his missionary journeys to his imprisonment, testifies to his unwavering faith and dedication to the spread of the gospel. His example serves as an encouragement to believers to remain faithful and committed to serving Christ, even in the face of adversity. ========== PERSON(s) Aristobulus@Rom.16.10=G0711 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Rom.16.10;

This greeting suggests that Aristobulus was a prominent member of the Christian community in Rome, and that his household, which likely included family members, servants, and slaves, had also embraced the Christian faith. ¶The fact that Paul specifically mentions Aristobulus' household implies that Aristobulus himself was a well-known figure, either within the church or in Roman society. However, beyond this brief greeting, no further information is provided about Aristobulus' background, conversion, or role in the early church. ¶Some scholars speculate that Aristobulus may have been a member of Herod's family or a prominent Jewish figure in Rome, but there is no conclusive evidence to support these theories. The mention of his name in Paul's letter serves as a reminder of the diversity within the early church and the spread of the gospel message across various social and cultural boundaries. ========== PERSON(s) Arkites@Gen.10.17-1Ch=H6208 People from Arak(?)

They are listed among the descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham and grandson of Noah (Gen. 10:17; 1 Chr. 1:15). ¶The Table of Nations in Genesis 10 provides a genealogical record of the spread of Noah's descendants after the Flood, highlighting the various people groups and nations that emerged from them. The Arkites are mentioned alongside other Canaanite tribes, such as the Sidonians, Hivites, and Jebusites, indicating their shared ancestry and geographic proximity in the region of Canaan. ¶Beyond their inclusion in the Table of Nations, no further information is provided about the Arkites in the biblical text. Their mention serves to demonstrate the diversity of people groups that inhabited the land of Canaan prior to the Israelite conquest under Joshua. ¶Some scholars suggest that the Arkites may have been associated with the ancient city of Arqa, located in present-day Lebanon, approximately 25 kilometers northeast of Tripoli. However, this connection remains uncertain due to the lack of conclusive historical and archaeological evidence. ¶The Arkites, along with the other Canaanite tribes, were among the people groups that the Israelites were commanded to dispossess as they entered the Promised Land (Deut. 20:17). The presence of these Canaanite nations underscores the challenges faced by the Israelites as they sought to establish their own nation in obedience to God's covenant promises. ========== PERSON(s) Armoni@2Sa.21.8=H0764 Man living at the time of United Monarchy Saul@1Sa.9.2-Act + Rizpah@2Sa.3.7- Jonathan@1Sa.13.2-1Ch, Abinadab@1Sa.14.49-1Ch, Malchi-shua@1Sa.14.49-1Ch, Merab@1Sa.14.49-2Sa, Michal@1Sa.14.49-1Ch, Ish-bosheth@2Sa.2.8-1Ch, Mephibosheth@2Sa.21.8 Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Sa.21.8;

Asa faced an invasion by Zerah the Ethiopian but defeated him with God's help after crying out to the Lord. In his later years, Asa sought help from Ben-Hadad king of Syria against Baasha king of Israel instead of relying on God and imprisoned the seer Hanani for rebuking him.

Azariah, accompanied by eighty brave priests, stood against the king and rebuked him for his transgression, reminding him that it was not his place to burn incense to the Lord. When Uzziah became angry and persisted in his attempt, God struck him with leprosy on his forehead. Azariah and the other priests then urged the king to leave the temple, and Uzziah remained leprous until the day of his death. This incident highlights the importance of respecting the boundaries between the roles of kings and priests and the consequences of overstepping those boundaries. Azariah's actions demonstrate the courage and faithfulness of the priesthood in upholding the laws of God, even in the face of royal opposition. ========== PERSON(s) Azariah@2Ch.28.12=H5838O Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Johanan@2Ch.28.12 + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ch.28.12;

Hananiah contradicted Jeremiah's prophecies about submitting to Babylon, claiming that God would break Babylon's yoke and restore the temple treasures within two years. Jeremiah denounced Hananiah's message as false, warning that he would die that year for promoting rebellion against the Lord. Hananiah died two months later, confirming he was not a true prophet. Identifying Hananiah as Azzur's son implies his family was known, though Azzur is not mentioned again. ========== PERSON(s) Azzur@Neh.10.17=H5809G Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.10.17;

In 1Ch.27.28, he is described as being in charge of the olive and sycamore trees in the lowlands, which were likely the coastal plains and foothills of Judah.

He is mentioned in Jer.40.14 in connection with a plot to assassinate Gedaliah, the governor appointed by the Babylonians over the remnant of Judah. According to the text, Johanan warned Gedaliah that Baalis had sent a man named Ishmael to kill him. Gedaliah did not believe the warning and was subsequently murdered by Ishmael, causing the remaining Jews to flee to Egypt out of fear. This incident reveals that Baalis was opposed to the Babylonian-appointed governor and was willing to use violence to disrupt the fragile peace in Judah after the exile. The Ammonites, led by Baalis, were long-time enemies of Israel and may have seen Judah's weakened state as an opportunity to gain power in the region. ========== PERSON(s) Baal-zebub@2Ki.1.2-=H1176 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.1.2;

In 2 Kings 1, King Ahaziah of Israel sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub whether he would recover from an illness. This action provoked God's anger, and the prophet Elijah confronted the king, prophesying that he would die for seeking guidance from a pagan god rather than the Lord. The narrative presents Baal-zebub as a false god whose worship was forbidden for Israelites. Consulting this deity was seen as a direct violation of the commandment to worship only the one true God. The passage also demonstrates the futility of trusting in false gods, as Baal-zebub had no power to heal Ahaziah or overturn God's decree of judgment. ========== PERSON(s) Baana@1Ki.4.12=H1195G Man living at the time of United Monarchy Ahilud@2Sa.8.16-1Ch + Jehoshaphat@2Sa.8.16-1Ch > #A man living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ki.4.12;

As a governor, Baana would have been responsible for administering his district, collecting taxes, and supplying provisions for the king's household. The twelve governors are listed as part of a description of Solomon's officials and the prosperity of his reign.

Like the other governors, Baana would have had administrative duties in his district, ensuring the smooth running of local affairs and the collection of resources for the king.

They brought his head to David, hoping to be rewarded. However, David condemned their treacherous act and ordered their execution. The text describes Baanah and Rechab as wicked men who murdered an innocent person. Their actions were motivated by self-interest rather than loyalty.

Despite initial resistance, Balaam agreed to go with Balak's messengers after God permitted him, but only to speak what God told him (Num.22.7-21). On the way, Balaam's donkey saw the Angel of the Lord and saved Balaam from being killed (Num.22.22-35). In three oracles, Balaam blessed Israel instead of cursing them (Numbers 23-24). Later, Balaam was killed in Israel's battle against Midian (Num.31.8). He had advised the Midianites to entice Israel into idolatry and immorality (Num.31.16; Rev.2.14). Balaam's story is remembered as an example of God's sovereignty (Deu.23.4-5; Jos.24.9-10; Neh.13.2; Mic.6.5) and as a warning against greed and false teaching (2Pe.2.15; Jud.1.11). ========== PERSON(s) Baladan@2Ki.20.12-Isa=H1081 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Merodach-baladan@2Ki.20.12-Isa > #A king of Babylon living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.20.12;

Fearing the large number of Israelites, Balak hired the pagan prophet Balaam to curse them (Num.22.5-6). Despite Balak's repeated attempts and offerings, Balaam could only bless Israel as God commanded (Numbers 23-24). Balak became angry with Balaam for not cursing Israel and sent him away (Num.24.10-11). Balak is mentioned in the farewell speeches of Joshua (Jos.24.9) and Jephthah (Jdg.11.25) as an example of how God protected Israel from their enemies. The prophet Micah also refers to Balak's story as a reminder of God's righteousness (Mic.6.5). In Rev.2.14, Balak is associated with Balaam's scheme to entice Israel into idolatry and immorality.

In Neh.9.4, Bani is one of the Levites who stood on the stairs and led the people in a prayer of confession. This prayer acknowledged the nation's sins, God's faithfulness, and the people's commitment to obey God's law.

He was in custody during the trial of Jesus before Pontius Pilate. According to the Gospel accounts, it was customary during the Passover feast for the Roman governor to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. Pilate offered the people a choice between releasing Jesus or Barabbas. The chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude to ask for Barabbas and demand Jesus' crucifixion. Pilate, although convinced of Jesus' innocence, yielded to the crowd's pressure and released Barabbas while condemning Jesus to death. Some manuscripts of Mat.27.16-17 refer to Barabbas as "Jesus Barabbas," suggesting that he may have also been called Jesus. Barabbas is described as a notorious criminal, with Mark and Luke mentioning that he had committed murder during an insurrection. His release in place of Jesus highlights the irony and injustice of the situation. ========== PERSON(s) Barachel@Job.32.2-=H1292 Man living at the time of the Patriarchs + Elihu@Job.32.2- > #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Job.32.2;

Elihu, his son, is introduced as a younger man who had been listening to the conversation between Job and his three friends (Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar). After the three friends had finished speaking, Elihu became angry with Job for justifying himself rather than God and with the friends for not refuting Job's arguments effectively. Elihu then proceeded to present his own perspective on Job's situation and God's justice.

Deborah, a prophetess and judge of Israel, summoned Barak and instructed him to gather troops from the tribes of Naphtali and Zebulun to fight against Sisera's army. Barak agreed to go only if Deborah accompanied him, to which she consented but prophesied that the honor of the victory would go to a woman. Barak led the Israelite forces to Mount Tabor, where they decisively defeated Sisera's army. The victory was celebrated in the Song of Deborah and Barak (Judges 5), which praises their leadership and God's deliverance. Barak is later mentioned in 1Sa.12.11 as one of the deliverers sent by God to save Israel from their enemies. The New Testament also commends Barak's faith in Heb.11.32, listing him among the examples of those who through faith conquered kingdoms and administered justice. ========== PERSON(s) Bariah@1Ch.3.22=H1282 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shemaiah@1Ch.3.22 + Hattush@1Ch.3.22, Igal@1Ch.3.22, Neariah@1Ch.3.22-, Shaphat@1Ch.3.22 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.3.22;

He was associated with Sergius Paulus, the proconsul of the island, who had summoned Paul and Barnabas to hear the word of God. However, Elymas opposed the apostles and tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith. Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, rebuked Elymas for his deceit and obstruction of the truth, declaring that he would be temporarily blinded. Immediately, Elymas lost his sight, and the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed and was astonished at the teaching about the Lord. The name "Elymas" is said to mean "magician" or "sorcerer," while "Bar-Jesus" means "son of Jesus" or "son of Joshua."

He was a Levite from the island of Cyprus (Act.4.36) who sold his land and brought the money to the apostles, demonstrating his generosity and commitment to the faith. Barnabas played a crucial role in introducing the newly converted Paul to the apostles in Jerusalem, vouching for his sincerity (Act.9.27). The church in Jerusalem later sent Barnabas to Antioch, where he encouraged the believers and brought Paul to minister there (Act.11.22-26). Barnabas and Paul were then commissioned by the Holy Spirit to embark on a missionary journey (Act.13.2), during which they preached the gospel and established churches in various cities. Barnabas was also involved in the dispute concerning the acceptance of Gentile believers and accompanied Paul to the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15). He later separated from Paul due to a disagreement over taking Mark on another journey (Act.15.36-39). Barnabas continued his ministry with Mark, while Paul chose Silas as his new companion. In the New Testament epistles, Barnabas is mentioned as a fellow laborer and an example of one who worked for the gospel without relying on financial support from the churches (1Co.9.6). He was recognized as a pillar of the church alongside James and Peter (Gal.2.9). Barnabas' ministry was characterized by encouragement, generosity, and a commitment to spreading the gospel message. @Ambiguity=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WI5gOd0O-wfPf5rjuRPW5yhxNFoedx2fssmgOQGYj7o/edit?tab=t.0#bookmark=id.12dqsnmezp62 ========== PERSON(s) Bartholomew@Mat.10.3-Act=G0918 Apostle living at the time of the New Testament + > #An apostle living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Mat.10.3;

He is always mentioned in the lists of the apostles, indicating his importance within the group. However, beyond his inclusion in these lists, no specific details about his background, life, or ministry are provided in the New Testament. Bartholomew is also named in Act.1.13 as one of the apostles gathered in the upper room after Jesus' ascension, praying and waiting for the coming of the Holy Spirit. Some scholars suggest that Bartholomew may be the same person as Nathanael, who is mentioned in John's Gospel (Jhn.1.45-51; 21.2), but this identification is not conclusively established in the biblical text. Tradition holds that Bartholomew preached the gospel in various regions, including India and Armenia, and suffered martyrdom for his faith, but these accounts are not recorded in the New Testament. ========== PERSON(s) Bartimaeus@Mrk.10.46=G0924 Man living at the time of the New Testament Timaeus@Mrk.10.46 + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Mrk.10.46;

He was the son of Timaeus and sat by the roadside near Jericho. When he heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, he began to cry out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Despite the crowd's attempts to silence him, Bartimaeus persisted in calling out to Jesus. Jesus stopped and asked for Bartimaeus to be brought to Him. When asked what he wanted, Bartimaeus replied, "Rabbi, I want to see." Jesus told him, "Go your way; your faith has made you well." Immediately, Bartimaeus received his sight and followed Jesus on the way. This miracle demonstrates Jesus' compassion and power to heal, as well as the importance of faith and persistence in seeking His help. Bartimaeus' story is an example of how Jesus responded to the needs of the marginalized and restored them physically and spiritually. ========== PERSON(s) Baruch@Jer.32.12-=H1263J Jeremiah's servant living at the time of Divided Monarchy Neriah@Jer.32.12- + Seraiah@Jer.51.59- > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at Jer.32.12;

He played a significant role in recording and delivering Jeremiah's prophecies to the people of Judah. In Jeremiah 36, Baruch wrote down Jeremiah's words on a scroll and read them in the temple, as the prophet was restricted from going there himself. When King Jehoiakim destroyed the scroll, Baruch rewrote the prophecies with additional messages from Jeremiah. Baruch also served as a witness to Jeremiah's purchase of a field, symbolizing God's promise of future restoration (Jer.32.12-16). He accompanied Jeremiah to Egypt after the fall of Jerusalem, despite the prophet's warnings (Jer.43.3-6). In Jeremiah 45, God spoke directly to Baruch, reassuring him of divine protection amidst the impending judgment on Judah. Baruch's unwavering support for Jeremiah, even in the face of opposition and personal risk, demonstrates his commitment to God's message and his loyalty to the prophet. ========== PERSON(s) Baruch@Neh.10.6=H1263H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.10.6;

Baruch is described as "the son of Col-hozeh, the son of Hazaiah, the son of Adaiah, the son of Joiarib, the son of Zechariah, the son of Shiloni." This genealogy traces his lineage back to Perez, establishing him as a member of the tribe of Judah.

Along with others, Barzillai generously supplied food and provisions for David and his men. After Absalom's defeat, when David returned to Jerusalem, Barzillai accompanied him to the Jordan River (2Sa.19.31-39). Due to his advanced age of eighty, Barzillai declined David's invitation to join him in Jerusalem, but he sent his son Chimham in his place. David blessed Barzillai and promised to show kindness to his family. Later, on his deathbed, David instructed Solomon to show favor to Barzillai's descendants (1Ki.2.7). Barzillai's loyalty and generosity during David's time of need were remembered and honored by the king. In Ezr.2.61 and Neh.7.63, a priestly family is mentioned who traced their lineage to Barzillai, indicating the enduring impact of his devotion to David. ========== PERSON(s) Barzillai@2Sa.21.8=H1271H Man living at the time of United Monarchy + Adriel@1Sa.18.19-2Sa > #A man living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Sa.21.8;

These five sons, born to Adriel son of Barzillai, were among the seven descendants of Saul who were handed over to the Gibeonites to be executed as a form of atonement for Saul's earlier mistreatment of the Gibeonites. The passage does not provide any further information about Barzillai the Meholathite himself, and he is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. His inclusion in the text serves to identify the lineage of Michal's adopted sons and their connection to Saul's family. ========== PERSON(s) Barzillai@Ezr.2.61-Neh=H1271I Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.61;

According to these passages, the descendants of Habaiah, Hakkoz, and Barzillai sought to be registered as priests but were unable to prove their priestly lineage. The text states that Barzillai had married a daughter of Barzillai the Gileadite (likely the same Barzillai who supported David) and took on his name. Due to the uncertainty surrounding their genealogy, these priests were excluded from serving until a priest could consult the Urim and Thummim for divine guidance. The mention of Barzillai in this context highlights the importance of verifying priestly lineage and maintaining the purity of the priesthood after the exile. ========== PERSON(s) Basemath@1Ki.4.15=H1315G Woman living at the time of United Monarchy Solomon@2Sa.5.14-Act + a_wife_of_Solomon@1Ki.4.11 Taphath@1Ki.4.11, Rehoboam@1Ki.11.43-Mat Ahimaaz@1Ki.4.15 Tribe of Judah #A woman from the tribe of Judah living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ki.4.15;

The passage states that Ahimaaz was in charge of the district of Naphtali and that he had married Basemath, one of Solomon's daughters. This marriage alliance likely served to strengthen political ties and ensure loyalty among Solomon's governors. The mention of Basemath's marriage to Ahimaaz is the only information provided about her in the Bible, and she is not mentioned in any other context.

Later, when David was old, Bathsheba and the prophet Nathan worked together to ensure Solomon's ascension to the throne (1Ki.1.11-31). As queen mother, Bathsheba held a position of influence in the royal court (1Ki.2.13-19). She is also mentioned in the superscription of Psalm 51, which is associated with David's repentance after his sin with Bathsheba. In 1Ch.3.5, Bathsheba is referred to as "Bath-shua," and her four sons with David are listed. Bathsheba's story illustrates the consequences of sin, God's mercy and forgiveness, and the importance of divine sovereignty in the fulfillment of God's plans. ========== PERSON(s) Bath-shua@Gen.38.2-1Ch=H1323I Woman living at the time of the Patriarchs Shua@Gen.38.2-1Ch + Judah@Gen.29.35-Rev Er@Gen.38.3-1Ch, Onan@Gen.38.4-1Ch, Shelah@Gen.38.5-1Ch > #A woman living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.38.2;

She gave birth to Judah's first three sons: Er, Onan, and Shelah. This brief genealogical note is the only information provided about Bath-shua in the Bible. Her Canaanite origin is significant, as it shows that Judah married outside of his own people, which was not in line with the patriarchs' practice of seeking wives from their own kinsmen. The mention of Bath-shua's sons is also important, as the narrative in Genesis 38 reveals that Er and Onan died due to their wickedness, leaving Judah without an heir until the birth of his twins, Perez and Zerah, through his daughter-in-law Tamar. Bath-shua's inclusion in the genealogy highlights the complex family dynamics and the importance of Judah's lineage in the history of Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Bavvai@Neh.3.18=H0942 Man living at the time of Exile and Return Henadad@Neh.3.18 + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.3.18;

He is introduced as the king of Babylon and the son of Nebuchadnezzar (Dan.5.1, 22), although historical records identify him as the son of Nabonidus, the last king of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. Belshazzar is known for holding a great feast, during which he and his nobles drank from the sacred vessels taken from the temple in Jerusalem (Dan.5.1-4). During this feast, a mysterious hand appeared and wrote a message on the wall, which only Daniel could interpret (Dan.5.5-28). The message foretold the end of Belshazzar's kingdom, and that very night, Belshazzar was slain, and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom (Dan.5.30-31). Belshazzar is also mentioned in Daniel's visions (Dan.7.1; 8.1), providing a historical context for the prophetic revelations. Belshazzar's reign and his sudden downfall serve as a powerful reminder of God's sovereignty over earthly kingdoms and the consequences of disregarding God's authority. ========== PERSON(s) Ben@1Ch.15.18=H1122 Singer living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A musician living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.15.18;

He is first mentioned as one of David's mighty men, known for his bravery and military prowess (2Sa.23.20-23; 1Ch.11.22-25). Benaiah's exploits included killing two warriors of Moab, a lion in a pit on a snowy day, and an Egyptian giant. He was highly respected and held leadership positions in David's army, such as being the head of the king's bodyguard (2Sa.8.18; 20.23). During the succession crisis at the end of David's reign, Benaiah remained loyal to Solomon and played a crucial role in establishing him as king (1Ki.1.8, 10, 32-44). He carried out Solomon's orders to execute Adonijah, Joab, and Shimei, effectively removing potential threats to the new king's reign (1Ki.2.25, 29-46). Under Solomon's rule, Benaiah served as the commander of the army (1Ki.4.4) and was part of the king's inner circle of advisors.

The context of the passage is Ezekiel's vision of the idolatry and wickedness in Jerusalem, which prompted God's judgment on the city. Pelatiah and the other princes are described as giving evil advice and plotting violence, disregarding the warnings of the prophets. As Ezekiel prophesied against them, Pelatiah suddenly died, serving as a sign of the impending judgment on the city and its leaders.

The younger daughter conceived and gave birth to a son, whom she named Ben-ammi, meaning "son of my people." The text states that Ben-ammi became the ancestor of the Ammonites, a neighboring nation to Israel. The Ammonites are later mentioned throughout the Old Testament, often in conflict with the Israelites. The story of Ben-ammi's birth highlights the consequences of Lot's choice to live in Sodom and the moral decline of his family.

Ben-hadad agrees and conquers several cities in northern Israel, forcing Baasha to abandon his fortification project at Ramah. Later, in 1 Kings 20, Ben-hadad leads a coalition of thirty-two kings against Ahab, king of Israel. Despite his initial confidence, Ben-hadad is defeated twice by Ahab, who is guided by prophetic advice. After his second defeat, Ben-hadad humbles himself before Ahab, who spares his life and makes a treaty with him. The prophet condemns Ahab for this decision, as Ben-hadad was to be destroyed. Jer.49.27 mentions the "wall of Damascus," likely referring to Ben-hadad's capital city, in a prophecy of judgment against Aram.

Later, in 2Ki.8.7-9, Ben-hadad II becomes ill and sends his servant Hazael to inquire of Elisha whether he will recover. Elisha prophesies that Ben-hadad will die and that Hazael will become king in his place. Hazael returns to Ben-hadad, telling him that he will recover, but the next day he takes a cloth, soaks it in water, and spreads it over Ben-hadad's face, causing his death.

Rachel died giving birth to Benjamin and named him Ben-oni, meaning "son of my sorrow," but Jacob renamed him Benjamin, meaning "son of the right hand" (Gen. 35:18,24). Benjamin was one of the twelve sons of Jacob who became the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel. ¶As a young man, Benjamin was kept at home by his father while his brothers went to Egypt to buy grain during a famine (Gen. 42:4). Later, when the brothers returned to Egypt with Benjamin, Joseph showed favoritism towards him (Gen. 43:34). After Joseph revealed his identity, he sent his brothers back to Canaan with gifts, giving Benjamin 300 pieces of silver and five sets of clothes (Gen. 45:22). ¶In Jacob's final blessing, he described Benjamin as a "ravenous wolf" (Gen. 49:27), possibly alluding to the tribe's fierceness in battle. During the Exodus, the tribe of Benjamin was led by Abidan son of Gideoni (Num. 1:11; 2:22). Notable Benjamites include Ehud, a left-handed judge who delivered Israel from Moabite oppression (Jdg. 3:15), and King Saul, the first king of Israel (1 Sam. 9:21). ¶The tribe of Benjamin was known for its military prowess and played a significant role in Israel's history, despite being one of the smallest tribes. They were loyal to David during Absalom's rebellion (2 Sam. 19:17) and later supported the southern kingdom of Judah after the division of the monarchy (1 Ki. 12:21). In the New Testament, the apostle Paul proudly identified himself as a Benjamite (Rom. 11:1; Phil. 3:5). ========== PERSON(s) Benjamin@Neh.12.34=H1144K Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.12.34;

As a result, Balaam was killed by the Israelites when they defeated the Midianites (Num. 31:8; Josh. 13:22). ¶Balaam's story is referenced several times in the Bible as a warning against greed and the abuse of spiritual gifts (Deut. 23:4-5; Josh. 24:9-10; Mic. 6:5; 2 Pet. 2:15-16). Despite his initial obedience to God, Balaam's later actions demonstrate the dangers of compromising one's faith for personal gain. ========== PERSON(s) Bera@Gen.14.2=H1298 King living at the time of the Patriarchs + Canaan #A king of Sodom living at the time of the Patriarchs, only mentioned at Gen.14.2;

In the ensuing battle, known as the Battle of the Valley of Siddim, the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled and fell into the tar pits, while the rest fled to the mountains (Gen. 14:10). Chedorlaomer's forces captured the goods and people of Sodom and Gomorrah, including Abraham's nephew Lot. This prompted Abraham to mount a rescue mission, ultimately defeating Chedorlaomer and his allies and freeing the captives (Gen. 14:14-16). ========== PERSON(s) Beracah@1Ch.12.3=H1294G Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.12.3;

The return of Besai's descendants, along with other Nethinim, demonstrates the restoration of temple worship and the importance of the Nethinim's role in supporting the Levites' ministry. ========== PERSON(s) Besodeiah@Neh.3.6=H1152 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + Meshullam@Neh.3.6 > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.3.6;

When Abraham's servant was sent to find a wife for Isaac, he was led to Rebekah, and Bethuel, along with his son Laban, agreed to the marriage (Gen. 24:50-51). Bethuel's lineage is significant, as it demonstrates the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that his descendants would come from his own family line (Gen. 17:4-7).

Bezalel, along with Oholiab from the tribe of Dan, led the skilled workers in creating the tabernacle, the ark of the covenant, the altar, and all the other sacred items according to the divine instructions given to Moses (Exo. 36:1-2; 37:1; 38:22). Bezalel's exceptional skills and divine empowerment underscore the importance of the tabernacle as a place where God's presence would dwell among His people.

This posed a threat to the spiritual purity and distinct identity of the Jewish community. Ezra called for a assembly, where the people confessed their sin and agreed to separate from their foreign wives.

(2 Sa. 20:1). Sheba's rebellion posed a significant threat to David's reign, prompting the king to send his forces, led by Joab, to pursue the rebel. Joab's army besieged the city of Abel-beth-maacah, where Sheba had taken refuge. The city was spared when a wise woman negotiated with Joab and convinced the inhabitants to behead Sheba, thus ending the rebellion (2 Sa. 20:14-22).

When Elisha the prophet anointed Jehu as king, he instructed him to carry out the LORD's judgment against the house of Ahab for their wickedness, particularly for the murder of Naboth and the persecution of the prophets (2 Ki. 9:6-10). Bidkar was with Jehu when they encountered Jehoram, the son of Ahab, at the plot of ground that had belonged to Naboth. Jehu reminded Bidkar of the prophecy they had heard while serving under Ahab, stating that the LORD would repay Ahab's bloodshed on that very plot of land (2 Ki. 9:25-26). Jehu then killed Jehoram and had his body thrown on Naboth's field, fulfilling the prophecy.

Eunuchs were often employed in royal courts as trusted officials and servants due to their loyalty and inability to establish a rival dynasty. During a royal feast, when King Ahasuerus was in high spirits from drinking wine, he commanded the seven eunuchs, including Bigtha, to bring Queen Vashti before him wearing her royal crown. The king wanted to display her beauty to the people and nobles, but Queen Vashti refused to come (Est. 1:11-12). This refusal led to the king's anger and ultimately to Vashti's removal as queen, setting the stage for the rise of Esther.

They became angry with the king and conspired to assassinate him. However, their plot was discovered by Mordecai, the cousin and guardian of Esther, who had been recently crowned as queen. Mordecai informed Esther about the plot, and she reported it to the king in Mordecai's name (Est. 2:22). After an investigation, Bigthan and Teresh were found guilty and hanged on the gallows (Est. 2:23). The incident was recorded in the king's presence in the book of the chronicles. Later, when the king was unable to sleep, he ordered the book of chronicles to be read to him, and Mordecai's good deed in exposing the plot was brought to his attention (Est. 6:1-2). This event led to Mordecai's elevation and honor, as well as the king's protection of the Jewish people from Haman's evil scheme.

Along with Eliphaz the Temanite and Zophar the Naamathite, Bildad engaged in a series of dialogues with Job, attempting to explain the cause of his afflictions and offering advice. Bildad's speeches emphasize the justice and righteousness of God, suggesting that Job's suffering must be a result of his sin (Job.8.1-22; 18.1-21; 25.1-6). He argues that God does not pervert justice and that if Job were to seek God and plead for mercy, he would be restored if he were truly pure and upright (Job.8.5-7). However, like the other friends, Bildad fails to grasp the true reason behind Job's suffering and mistakenly accuses him of wrongdoing. In the end, God rebukes Bildad and the other friends for not speaking what is right about Him, unlike Job (Job.42.7-9).

He is mentioned among the priests who settled in Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah. Later, Bilgai, likely the same person as Bilgah, is listed among the priests who sealed the covenant during Nehemiah's reforms (Neh. 10:8). The covenant was a solemn agreement made by the returned exiles to follow the Law of God and maintain their distinct identity as God's chosen people. By sealing the covenant, Bilgah/Bilgai and the other priests pledged to uphold its terms, which included observing the Sabbath, avoiding intermarriage with foreigners, and supporting the temple service.

When Rachel found herself unable to conceive, she gave Bilhah to Jacob as a concubine to bear children on her behalf, following the custom of the time (Gen. 30:3-4). Bilhah gave birth to two sons, Dan and Naphtali (Gen. 30:5-8), who became the ancestors of two of the twelve tribes of Israel. Later, Jacob's firstborn son, Reuben, slept with Bilhah, an act that greatly displeased Jacob (Gen. 35:22). Despite this incident, Bilhah is still mentioned among the members of Jacob's family who went to Egypt during the famine (Gen. 46:25). Her sons, Dan and Naphtali, are listed among the seventy members of Jacob's household (Gen. 46:23-25). Bilhah's story highlights the complex family dynamics in Jacob's household and the importance of childbearing in ancient Israelite society. Her sons' inclusion in the twelve tribes of Israel underscores God's providence in fulfilling His promise to make a great nation from Jacob's descendants. ========== PERSON(s) Bilhan@1Ch.7.10=H1092H Warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy Jediael@1Ch.7.6- + Jeush@1Ch.7.10, Benjamin@1Ch.7.10, Ehud@1Ch.7.10, Chenaanah@1Ch.7.10, Zethan@1Ch.7.10, Tarshish@1Ch.7.10, Ahishahar@1Ch.7.10 Tribe of Benjamin #A warrior from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.7.10;

Esau, also known as Edom, settled in the hill country of Seir and became the ancestor of the Edomites (Gen. 36:8-9). The Edomites were the southeastern neighbors of the Israelites and were known for their wisdom and military prowess (Jer. 49:7; Obad. 1:8-9). Bilhan's mention as a chief suggests that he held a position of authority and leadership among the Edomites.

In response, Chedorlaomer and his allies invaded the region, defeating the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Bela (Zoar) in the Valley of Siddim. The invaders seized the goods and food of Sodom and Gomorrah, and took captives, including Abraham's nephew Lot. This event prompted Abraham to mount a rescue mission, where he successfully defeated Chedorlaomer and his allies, freeing Lot and recovering the stolen goods (Gen. 14:13-16).

This letter was written in Aramaic and translated, indicating that it was an official document. The Samaritans, who were the inhabitants of the region north of Judah, were adversaries of the Jews and sought to undermine their efforts to rebuild the city and the temple. In their letter, they accused the Jews of rebuilding a rebellious and wicked city, warning the king that if the city were rebuilt, the Jews would no longer pay taxes and would damage the king's revenues (Ezr. 4:12-13). As a result of this letter, the king ordered the work on the city to cease until further notice (Ezr. 4:21-22).

This marriage is mentioned in the genealogy of Judah, indicating that it was a significant event. The fact that Mered married a daughter of Pharaoh suggests that he may have held a prominent position or had a special connection with Egypt. Such marriages between Israelites and Egyptians were rare, and this union may have taken place during a time of peace and good relations between the two nations. Bithiah's inclusion in the genealogy also highlights the presence of foreign women in the lineage of Judah, demonstrating the complex social and cultural interactions of the Israelites with their neighbors. ========== PERSON(s) Biztha@Est.1.10=H0968 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Est.1.10;

Eunuchs were often employed in royal courts as trusted officials and servants due to their loyalty and inability to establish a rival dynasty. During a royal feast, when King Ahasuerus was in high spirits from drinking wine, he commanded the seven eunuchs, including Biztha, to bring Queen Vashti before him wearing her royal crown. The king wanted to display her beauty to the people and nobles, but Queen Vashti refused to come (Est. 1:11-12). This refusal led to the king's anger and ultimately to Vashti's removal as queen, setting the stage for the rise of Esther. Biztha's mention as one of the eunuchs highlights the opulence and power dynamics within the Persian court during the time of Esther. ========== PERSON(s) Blastus@Act.12.20=G0986 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Act.12.20;

The people of Tyre and Sidon, two coastal cities in modern-day Lebanon, had offended Herod, and their region depended on the king's country for food. To regain Herod's favor, they persuaded Blastus to help them secure a reconciliation with the king. Blastus' position as chamberlain, or personal attendant, to the king gave him significant influence and access to the monarch. The fact that the people of Tyre and Sidon sought Blastus' assistance indicates his importance in the royal court and his potential role as an intermediary between the king and his subjects. This brief mention of Blastus in the book of Acts provides insight into the political dynamics and the role of royal officials in the early days of the Christian church. ========== PERSON(s) Boaz@Rut.2.1-Luk=H1162G Man living before Israel's Monarchy Salmon@Rut.4.20-Luk + Rahab@Jos.2.1-Jas(d?)

He was a relative of Naomi's deceased husband, Elimelech, and acted as a kinsman-redeemer for Ruth, a Moabite widow. When Ruth gleaned grain in Boaz's field, he showed her kindness and protection, recognizing her loyalty to Naomi (Ruth 2). Later, Naomi instructed Ruth to approach Boaz at night and request that he fulfill his role as a kinsman-redeemer (Ruth 3). Boaz agreed to marry Ruth, after ensuring that a closer relative did not wish to claim this right (Rut.4.1-12). Their marriage led to the birth of Obed, who became the grandfather of King David (Rut.4.13-17). Boaz is also mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ (Matt. Rut.1.5; Luk.3.32), highlighting his importance in God's plan of redemption. Additionally, Boaz is associated with one of the two bronze pillars in Solomon's temple, which was named after him (1Ki.7.21; 1 Chr. 1Ki.2.11-12).

He served as high priest from around AD 18 to 36, and was the son-in-law of Annas, another influential high priest. Caiaphas is most notable for his involvement in the trial of Jesus. After Jesus' arrest, He was brought before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council. During this trial, Caiaphas questioned Jesus and ultimately charged Him with blasphemy (Matt. Act.26.63-66). Caiaphas then sent Jesus to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, who sentenced Him to crucifixion. Caiaphas' actions were motivated by his concern for maintaining political stability and protecting the religious establishment from perceived threats (Jhn.11.49-50). After Jesus' resurrection, Caiaphas was involved in the persecution of the early Christian church, as seen in the trial of Peter and John (Act.4.6).

Cain was a farmer, while Abel was a shepherd. When both brothers brought offerings to God, the Lord accepted Abel's offering but rejected Cain's, which led to Cain's anger and jealousy. Despite God's warning to master his sinful desires, Cain lured Abel into the field and murdered him. As a result, God cursed Cain to be a restless wanderer on the earth and banished him from His presence. Cain's descendants, known as the Cainites, are mentioned in the genealogy of Genesis 4, which highlights the spread of sin and the development of civilization apart from God. The New Testament references to Cain portray him as an example of unbelief, wickedness, and rebellion against God (Heb. Jud.11.4; 1Jn.3.12; Jud.1.11). Cain's story serves as a warning about the consequences of sin, jealousy, and disobedience to God. ========== PERSON(s) Cainan@Luk.3.36=G2536G Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Arpachshad@Gen.10.22-Luk + Shelah@Gen.10.24-Luk Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, only mentioned at Luk.3.36;

He is listed as the son of Arphaxad and the father of Shelah. This genealogy traces Jesus' lineage back to Adam, emphasizing His humanity and connection to the ancestral line of the Israelites. Cainan's inclusion in this genealogy is notable because he is not mentioned in the genealogies found in Genesis 11 and 1 Chronicles 1, which list Shelah as the direct son of Arphaxad. Some scholars suggest that the name Cainan may have been added to Luke's genealogy based on the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament) translation, which includes Cainan in Genesis 11. The presence of Cainan in Luke's genealogy highlights the importance of genealogical records in establishing Jesus' lineage and fulfilling messianic prophecies. ========== PERSON(s) Calcol@1Ch.2.6=H3633H Man living before Israel's Monarchy Zerah@Gen.38.30-Mat + Zabdi@Jos.7.1-1Ch, Ethan@1Ch.2.6-, Heman@1Ch.2.6, Dara@1Ch.2.6 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living before Israel's Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.2.6;

He was the son of Hezron and the father of Hur (1 Chr. 2:9, 18-19). Caleb's wife was Azubah, and he also had a concubine named Ephrath (1 Chr. 2:18-19). Through his son Hur, Caleb was the grandfather of Uri and the great-grandfather of Bezalel, the skilled craftsman who worked on the tabernacle (1 Chr. 2:20; Ex. 31:2). Caleb's descendants, known as the Calebites, settled in the region of Hebron and played a significant role in the tribe of Judah (1 Chr. 2:42-55). This Caleb is a different person from Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who was one of the twelve spies.

Along with Joshua, Caleb stood firm in his faith and trust in God's promise, encouraging the Israelites to enter the land despite the other spies' negative report (Num. 13:30; 14:6-9). As a result, God commended Caleb for his faithfulness and promised that he would inherit the land he had explored (Num. 14:24, 30, 38; Deut. 1:36). After the conquest of Canaan, Caleb requested and received Hebron as his inheritance (Josh. 14:6-15; 15:13-19; 21:12; Judg. 1:12-15, 20). He drove out the Anakim giants from Hebron and offered his daughter Achsah in marriage to whoever conquered Kirjath Sepher (Josh. 15:14-17; Judg. 1:12-13). Caleb's descendants settled in the Negev region and in the cities of Hebron (1 Sam. 30:14; 1 Chr. 4:15; 6:56). His faith, courage, and obedience to God made him a prominent figure in Israel's history, and his story is remembered as an example of unwavering trust in God's promises (Num. 32:12; Judg. 3:9). ========== PERSON(s) Canaan@Gen.9.18-1Ch=H3667G Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Ham@Gen.5.32-1Ch + Cush@Gen.10.6-1Ch, Egypt@Gen.10.6-1Ch, Put@Gen.10.6-1Ch Sidon@Gen.10.15-1Ch, Heth@Gen.10.15-Ezk, Jebusites@Gen.10.16-Zec, Amorites@Gen.10.16-Amo, Girgashites@Gen.10.16-Neh, Hivites@Gen.10.17-2Ch, Arkites@Gen.10.17-1Ch, Sinites@Gen.10.17-1Ch, Arvadites@Gen.10.18-1Ch, Zemarites@Gen.10.18-1Ch, Hamathites@Gen.10.18-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.9.18;

He became the progenitor of the Canaanite tribes, which inhabited the land that would later be promised to Abraham and his descendants (Gen. 10:15-19; 1 Chr. 1:13-16). Canaan's sons included Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth, the ancestor of the Hittites. Other descendants of Canaan included the Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, Arvadites, Zemarites, and Hamathites. After Noah's drunkenness, Ham saw his father's nakedness and told his brothers (Gen. 9:22). In response, Noah cursed Canaan, stating that he would be a servant to his brothers (Gen. 9:25-27). This curse was likely a prophetic declaration about the future subjugation of the Canaanite tribes by the Israelites. The land of Canaan became synonymous with the region God promised to Abraham, and the Canaanites were among the inhabitants the Israelites were to displace and conquer (Gen. 12:5-7; Ex. 3:8; Deut. 7:1-3). ========== PERSON(s) Canaanite_woman@Gen.46.10-Exo=H3669G Woman living at the time of the Patriarchs + Simeon@Gen.29.33-Rev Shaul@Gen.46.10-1Ch > #A woman living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.46.10;

In the genealogies of Simeon, one of the twelve sons of Israel (or 'Jacob'), Shaul is distinguished from his brothers by the fact that his mother was a Canaanite woman. This detail suggests that Simeon married a woman from the Canaanite people, who were the inhabitants of the land of Canaan before the Israelites. The mention of Shaul's mother's Canaanite origin is significant because it shows that intermarriage between the Israelites and the Canaanites did occur, despite the general prohibition against such unions (Deut. Exo.7.3). The inclusion of this information in the genealogies also highlights the importance of maternal lineage in the biblical record. ========== PERSON(s) Caphtorim@Gen.10.14-1Ch=H3732 People from Caphtor (Crete) Egypt@Gen.10.6-1Ch(d) + Ludim@Gen.10.13-1Ch, Anamim@Gen.10.13-1Ch, Lehabim@Gen.10.13-1Ch, Naphtuhim@Gen.10.13-1Ch, Pathrusim@Gen.10.14-1Ch, Casluhim@Gen.10.14-1Ch Early Patriarch #People from Caphtor (Crete) of the Egyptians, first mentioned at Gen.10.14;

They are listed among the peoples who descended from Egypt (Mizraim is the Hebrew name for Egypt). According to Deu.2.23, the Caphtorim came from Caphtor and destroyed the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, and settled in their place. This event occurred before the Israelites entered the Promised Land. The exact location of Caphtor is uncertain, but it is often associated with the island of Crete or the region of Cilicia in modern-day Turkey. The Caphtorim's displacement of the Avvim is one of several examples in the Bible of people groups migrating and conquering new territories. ========== PERSON(s) Carkas@Est.1.10=H3752 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Est.1.10;

Eunuchs were often employed in royal courts as trusted officials and servants due to their loyalty and inability to establish a rival dynasty. During a royal feast, when King Ahasuerus was in high spirits from drinking wine, he commanded the seven eunuchs, including Carkas, to bring Queen Vashti before him wearing her royal crown. The king wanted to display her beauty to the people and nobles, but Queen Vashti refused to come (Est.1.11-12). This refusal led to the king's anger and ultimately to Vashti's removal as queen, setting the stage for the rise of Esther. Carkas' mention as one of the eunuchs highlights the opulence and power dynamics within the Persian court during the time of Esther. ========== PERSON(s) Carmi@Gen.46.9-1Ch=H3756G Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Reuben@Gen.29.32-Rev + Pallu@Gen.46.9-1Ch, Hezron@Gen.46.9-1Ch, Hanoch@Gen.46.9-1Ch Tribe of Reuben #A man from the tribe of Reuben living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Gen.46.9;

After the Israelites conquered Jericho, Achan took some of the devoted things from the city, which were supposed to be dedicated to God. This act of disobedience brought God's anger upon the Israelites, causing them to suffer defeat in their next battle against Ai. When Joshua sought the Lord's guidance, God revealed that someone had taken from the devoted things. Through a process of elimination, Achan was identified as the culprit. Achan confessed his sin and was punished by being stoned to death along with his family and livestock, and their remains were burned (Jos.7.19-26). Carmi's mention in this narrative serves to identify Achan's lineage and emphasize the consequences of disobedience to God's commands. ========== PERSON(s) Carpus@2Ti.4.13=G2591 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at 2Ti.4.13;

He is mentioned only once in the Bible, in 2Ti.4.13, where the apostle Paul asks Timothy to bring the cloak, books, and parchments that he had left with Carpus in Troas. This request suggests that Carpus was a trusted friend or associate of Paul, who had provided lodging or assistance to the apostle during his travels. The fact that Paul left important personal belongings with Carpus indicates a level of familiarity and trust between them. Although no further details about Carpus are provided in the Bible, his brief mention in Paul's letter to Timothy offers a glimpse into the network of believers and supporters that sustained Paul's ministry in the early church. ========== PERSON(s) Carshena@Est.1.14=H3771 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A prince of Persia living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Est.1.14;

These princes were the closest advisors to the king and had the privilege of direct access to his presence. They were known for their knowledge of the law and their understanding of the times. When Queen Vashti refused to appear before the king during a royal feast, Ahasuerus consulted with his wise men, including Carshena, to determine the appropriate response according to the law (Est.1.15). The inclusion of Carshena among the named princes highlights his high status and influence within the Persian court during the events described in the book of Esther. ========== PERSON(s) Casluhim@Gen.10.14-1Ch=H3695 People from Casluch(?)

They are listed among the peoples who descended from Egypt (Mizraim is the Hebrew name for Egypt). According to Gen.10.14, the Casluhim were the ancestors of the Philistines, a prominent enemy of the Israelites in the Old Testament. The Philistines are known to have migrated from the region of the Aegean Sea to the coastal plain of Canaan, where they established a powerful confederation of city-states. The connection between the Casluhim and the Philistines suggests a possible Egyptian origin or influence on the Philistine people. However, the exact nature of this relationship is not clearly defined in the biblical text. ========== PERSON(s) Chedorlaomer@Gen.14.1-=H3540 King living at the time of the Patriarchs + Mesopotamia #A king in Mesopotamia living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.14.1;

He formed a coalition with three other kings: Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, and Tidal king of Goiim. For twelve years, the cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, and others in the region served Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year, they rebelled. In response, Chedorlaomer and his allies waged war against the rebellious cities, defeating them and taking captives, including Abraham's nephew Lot. When Abraham learned of Lot's capture, he gathered his 318 trained men and pursued Chedorlaomer's army. With God's help, Abraham defeated Chedorlaomer and his allies, rescuing Lot and recovering the stolen goods. This event showcases Abraham's military prowess and his loyalty to his family, as well as God's faithfulness in granting victory to Abraham and his small force against a powerful coalition of kings. ========== PERSON(s) Chelal@Ezr.10.30=H3636 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.10.30;

After the return from Babylonian exile, Ezra discovered that many of the Israelites, including priests and Levites, had intermarried with the neighboring peoples, contrary to God's commands (Ezr.9.1-2). This intermarriage was seen as a violation of the covenant and a threat to the spiritual purity of the nation. Ezra called for a national assembly, where the people confessed their sin and agreed to separate from their foreign wives (Ezr.10.10-12). Chelal was among those who had taken foreign wives and pledged to put them away, demonstrating repentance and a commitment to obey God's laws. The inclusion of Chelal's name in this account highlights the importance of maintaining spiritual purity and the need for individuals to take responsibility for their actions in light of God's covenant with His people. ========== PERSON(s) Chelub@1Ch.27.26=H3620H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Ezri@1Ch.27.26 > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.27.26;

He had a brother named Mahlon. During a famine, Elimelech, Naomi, and their two sons went to live in the country of Moab (Rut.1.1-2). While in Moab, Chilion married a Moabite woman named Orpah, and Mahlon married Ruth (Rut.1.4). Tragically, Elimelech, Chilion, and Mahlon died in Moab, leaving Naomi, Ruth, and Orpah as widows (Rut.1.3,5). When Naomi decided to return to Judah, Orpah remained in Moab, while Ruth chose to accompany her mother-in-law (Rut.1.6-18). Later, when Boaz redeemed the land that had belonged to Elimelech, he also acquired the right to marry Ruth and continue the lineage of Mahlon and Chilion (Rut.4.9-10). ========== PERSON(s) Chimham@2Sa.19.37-=H3643 Man living at the time of United Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.19.37;

During Absalom's rebellion against King David, Barzillai provided support for David and his followers when they fled from Jerusalem (2Sa.17.27-29). After Absalom's defeat, when David returned to Jerusalem, Barzillai accompanied him to the Jordan River. Due to his advanced age, Barzillai declined David's invitation to come with him to Jerusalem. Instead, he sent his son Chimham to go with the king (2Sa.19.37-38). David showed kindness to Chimham and promised to do for him whatever Barzillai requested (2Sa.19.38). Chimham then went on with David to Jerusalem (2Sa.19.40).

He is mentioned in several contexts throughout the book of Acts. ¶In Act.11.28, the prophet Agabus foretold a great famine that would occur during the reign of Claudius, which prompted the disciples to send relief to the believers in Judea. ¶Act.18.2 mentions that Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome, which led Aquila and Priscilla to move to Corinth, where they met Paul. ¶In Act.17.7, the accusers of Paul and Silas in Thessalonica claimed that they were acting against the decrees of Caesar, likely referring to Claudius. ¶During Paul's trial in Acts 25-26, Claudius is mentioned as the emperor to whom Paul appealed for justice (Act.25.8,10,11,12,21; 26.32). ¶In Act.27.24, an angel told Paul that he must stand before Caesar, referring to Claudius or his successor. ¶Finally, in Act.28.19, Paul stated that he was compelled to appeal to Caesar because of the Jews' opposition. ¶These references to Claudius provide historical context for the events in Acts and demonstrate the Roman Empire's significant influence on the early Christian church. ========== PERSON(s) Clement@Php.4.3=G2815 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Php.4.3;

He is described as a devout man who feared God, gave alms generously, and prayed regularly (Act.10.1-2). Despite his piety, Cornelius was not a convert to Judaism. ¶In a vision, an angel instructed Cornelius to send for Peter, who was staying in Joppa (Act.10.3-8). Meanwhile, Peter had a vision in which God revealed that he should not consider anything unclean that God had made clean, preparing him to accept Gentile believers (Act.10.9-16). ¶When Peter arrived at Cornelius' house, Cornelius gathered his relatives and close friends to hear Peter's message (Act.10.24-27). As Peter shared the gospel, the Holy Spirit fell upon the Gentile listeners, confirming that God had accepted them (Act.10.44-46). This event marked a significant turning point in the early church, as it demonstrated that the gospel was for both Jews and Gentiles. ¶Peter then ordered that Cornelius and the other believing Gentiles be baptized (Act.10.47-48).

During Israel's stay in Shittim, Cozbi engaged in sexual immorality with Zimri, an Israelite man from the tribe of Simeon. This act of defiance against God's commands occurred in the sight of Moses and the entire congregation of Israel, who were weeping at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting due to a plague that had broken out as a result of the people's immorality and idolatry. ¶Phinehas, the grandson of Aaron the priest, took a spear and followed Zimri into his tent, where he found him with Cozbi. Phinehas drove the spear through both of them, killing them and halting the plague that had claimed the lives of 24,000 Israelites.

This conversion was significant, as Crispus held a prominent position in the Jewish community. ¶Following his conversion, Crispus was baptized by Paul, as mentioned in 1Co.1.14. Paul specifically notes that he personally baptized Crispus, along with Gaius, emphasizing the importance of their conversions. The fact that Paul baptized Crispus himself underscores the significance of this synagogue leader coming to faith in Christ. ¶Crispus' conversion likely had a considerable impact on the Jewish community in Corinth and may have encouraged other Jews and Gentiles to consider Paul's message more closely. His story demonstrates the power of the gospel to transform lives, even among those in positions of religious authority. ========== PERSON(s) Cush@Gen.10.6-1Ch=H3568G Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Ham@Gen.5.32-1Ch + Canaan@Gen.9.18-1Ch, Egypt@Gen.10.6-1Ch, Put@Gen.10.6-1Ch Seba@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Havilah@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Sabtah@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Raamah@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Sabteca@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Nimrod@Gen.10.8-Mic Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.6;

Nimrod is also credited with building Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah, and Resen in Assyria. ¶The Cushites, descendants of Cush, are often associated with the region of Nubia, south of Egypt. In later biblical texts, Cush is used as a geographical term referring to the land south of Egypt, including parts of modern-day Sudan and Ethiopia. ¶The genealogy of Cush and his descendants in Genesis 10 and 1 Chronicles 1 provides insight into the early spread of nations and the origins of various people groups in the ancient Near East and Africa. ========== PERSON(s) Cush@Psa.7.1=H3568B Man living at the time of United Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at Psa.7.1;

David affirms his innocence and trusts in God to judge righteously, knowing that God is a righteous judge who feels indignation every day. ¶Although no further details are provided about Cush or his specific words against David, the psalm's title and content indicate that Cush's actions prompted David to seek refuge and vindication from the Lord.

As a result of their disobedience, the Lord sold the Israelites into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim. ¶In response to the Israelites' cry for help, God raised up Othniel, the son of Kenaz and Caleb's younger brother, as a deliverer. Othniel was empowered by the Spirit of the Lord and went to war against Cushan-rishathaim. The Lord gave Cushan-rishathaim into Othniel's hand, and he prevailed over the Mesopotamian king. ¶As a result of Othniel's victory, the land had rest for forty years until Othniel's death. This event is part of the recurring cycle in the book of Judges, where the Israelites fall into sin, face oppression from foreign rulers, cry out to God, and are delivered by a God-appointed judge. ========== PERSON(s) Cushi@Jer.36.14=H3570 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Shelemiah@Jer.36.14 > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Jer.36.14;

This event took place during the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah when Jeremiah's prophecies were causing concern among the royal officials. ¶Apart from being identified as Jehudi's father, no other information is provided about Cushi in the Bible.

He is mentioned in several books of the Bible, including 2 Chronicles, Ezra, Isaiah, and Daniel. ¶According to 2Ch.36.22-23 and Ezr.1.1-2, in the first year of his reign, Cyrus issued a proclamation allowing the Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple. This decree fulfilled the prophecy of Jeremiah concerning the end of the Babylonian captivity after 70 years. ¶Cyrus also returned the articles of the Temple that Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem (Ezr.1.7-8). The returning exiles, led by Zerubbabel, began to rebuild the Temple with the support of Cyrus (Ezr.3.7). ¶The prophets Isaiah and Daniel both mention Cyrus by name. Isa.44.28 and Isa.45.1 refer to Cyrus as the Lord's "anointed" and the one who would carry out God's purpose in rebuilding Jerusalem and the Temple. Dan.1.21 and Dan.10.1 indicate that Daniel lived until the reign of Cyrus, and Dan.6.28 mentions Cyrus as the king who succeeded Darius the Mede. ¶Ezr.4.3-5 records the opposition faced by the Jews in rebuilding the Temple during the reigns of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes. However, Ezr.5.13-17 and Ezr.6.3-14 recount how Cyrus' original decree was rediscovered during the reign of Darius, leading to the completion of the Temple reconstruction. ¶Historically, Cyrus was the founder of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. His conquest of Babylon in 539 BC and his subsequent policy of allowing captive peoples to return to their homelands and rebuild their temples made him a significant figure in Jewish history and a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. ========== PERSON(s) Dalphon@Est.9.7=H1813 Man living at the time of Exile and Return Haman@Est.3.1- + Zeresh@Est.5.10-(?)

Haman had plotted to destroy all the Jews in the empire, but his plan was thwarted by Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai. ¶After Haman's downfall and execution, the king granted the Jews the right to defend themselves against their enemies. On the 13th day of the month of Adar, the Jews fought against those who sought to harm them. They defeated their enemies, and among those killed were the ten sons of Haman, including Dalphon. ¶Following their deaths, the bodies of Haman's sons were hanged on the gallows, likely the same gallows Haman had prepared for Mordecai (Est.9.13-14).

His birth is recorded in Gen.30.6, where Rachel, who had been unable to conceive, gave Bilhah to Jacob as a concubine to bear children on her behalf. When Bilhah gave birth to a son, Rachel named him Dan, saying, "God has vindicated me; he has listened to my plea and given me a son." ¶As one of Israel's twelve sons, Dan became the founder of the Israelite tribe bearing his name. In Gen.46.23, when Israel and his family moved to Egypt, Dan's son Hushim is mentioned as part of the household. ¶In Israel's blessing to his sons before his death (Gen.49.16-17), Dan is described as one who will provide justice for his people as one of the tribes of Israel. Jacob also compares Dan to a serpent by the roadside, an adder along the path, foreshadowing the tribe's future role in the Promised Land. ¶The tribe of Dan was allocated territory in the northern part of Canaan during the conquest under Joshua. However, they later migrated northward and settled in the city of Laish, which they renamed Dan (Judges 18). ¶In 1Ch.2.2, Dan is listed among the twelve tribes of Israel, confirming his status as one of the founding fathers of the nation. Throughout the Old Testament, the tribe of Dan is mentioned alongside the other Israelite tribes, although they are sometimes associated with idolatry and apostasy. ========== PERSON(s) Daniel@Ezk.14.14-Mrk=H1840G Prophet living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A prophet living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezk.14.14;

He was among the young nobles taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar and brought to Babylon to serve in the king's court (Daniel 1). ¶Known for his wisdom, integrity, and ability to interpret dreams and visions, Daniel served under several Babylonian kings, including Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and Darius the Mede. He is mentioned alongside Noah and Job in Ezk.14.14,20 as an example of righteousness. ¶Throughout his life, Daniel received several visions and revelations from God, which are recorded in the Book of Daniel. These visions include the interpretation of Nebuchadnezzar's dreams (Daniel 2; 4), the handwriting on the wall during Belshazzar's feast (Daniel 5), and visions concerning future kingdoms and the end times (Daniel 7-12). ¶Daniel's faithfulness to God was tested when he was thrown into the lions' den for praying to God instead of King Darius (Daniel 6). However, God protected him, and his faith and integrity were vindicated. ¶In the New Testament, Jesus refers to the "abomination of desolation" spoken of by the prophet Daniel (Mat.24.15; Mrk.13.14), indicating the continued significance of Daniel's prophecies. ¶Daniel's life and ministry demonstrate the importance of faith, prayer, and obedience to God, even in the face of persecution and adversity.

This covenant was made after Ezra had read the Book of the Law to the people, and they had confessed their sins and committed to obeying God's commands. ¶The fact that Daniel is mentioned in both Ezra and Nehemiah suggests that he played a role in the religious life of the Jewish community after the exile. As a priest, he would have been involved in the Temple service and in teaching the people the Law of God. ¶Apart from these two references, no other details about this Daniel's life or ministry are provided in the Bible.

He is first introduced in Dan.5.31, which states that Darius the Mede received the kingdom at the age of sixty-two. ¶In Daniel 6, Darius is portrayed as the king who was manipulated by his officials into issuing a decree that prohibited prayer to anyone but him for thirty days. This decree led to Daniel being thrown into the lions' den when he was caught praying to God. However, God protected Daniel, and Darius, upon discovering Daniel's miraculous survival, issued a new decree acknowledging the power of Daniel's God (Dan.6.25-28). ¶Darius is also mentioned in Dan.9.1, which sets the context for Daniel's prayer of confession and supplication for his people. The chapter begins by stating that this event took place in the first year of Darius' reign. ¶In Dan.11.1, an angelic messenger refers to the first year of Darius the Mede, indicating that he had been supporting and protecting the prince of Persia. ¶The identity of Darius the Mede has been a subject of debate among scholars, as there is no clear historical record of a Median king ruling Babylon between the reigns of Belshazzar and Cyrus the Great. Some scholars suggest that Darius may have been a subordinate ruler or a governor under Cyrus, while others propose that the name may be a title or a reference to Cyrus himself. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his identity, the biblical account presents Darius the Mede as a significant figure in the early days of the Medo-Persian Empire and in the life of Daniel. ========== PERSON(s) Darius@Ezr.4.5-Zec=H1867H Emperor Darius I, 'the Great', living at the time of Exile and Return + Ahasuerus@Ezr.4.6-Dan Persia #An emperor of Persia living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.4.5;

He is often referred to as Darius I, also known as Darius the Great, who ruled the Persian Empire from 522 to 486 BC. ¶During the early years of Darius' reign, the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem had been halted due to opposition from the neighboring peoples (Ezr.4.5). However, in the second year of Darius' reign, the prophets Haggai and Zechariah began to prophesy to the Jews, encouraging them to resume the Temple construction (Hag.1.1, 15; Zec.1.1, 7). ¶When the Persian officials questioned the Jews' authority to rebuild the Temple, they appealed to the decree issued by Cyrus years earlier (Ezr.5.5-7). Darius then ordered a search of the archives, and Cyrus' decree was found (Ezr.6.1). Darius issued a new decree, confirming Cyrus' original order and providing support for the Temple's reconstruction (Ezr.6.12-14). ¶With Darius' backing, the Jews completed the Temple reconstruction in the sixth year of his reign (Ezr.6.15). This event was a significant milestone in the restoration of Jewish worship in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. ¶The mention of Darius in these biblical books demonstrates the Persian Empire's role in the history of Israel and the fulfillment of God's plan for His people. ========== PERSON(s) Darius@Neh.12.22=H1867G Emperor living at the time of Exile and Return + Persia #An emperor of Persia living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.12.22;

This passage is part of a list of priests and Levites who served in the Temple after the Babylonian exile. ¶The mention of Darius in this context serves as a historical marker, indicating that these Levites served during his reign. This Darius is likely Darius II Nothus, who ruled the Persian Empire from 423 to 404 BC. ¶The inclusion of Darius' name in this list demonstrates the continuity of the priestly and Levitical service in the Temple, even under Persian rule. It also shows that the Jewish community in Jerusalem maintained their religious practices and recorded their history during this period. ¶ ========== PERSON(s) Darkon@Ezr.2.56-Neh=H1874 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.56;

The Nethinim were a group of people assigned to assist the Levites in the maintenance and service of the Temple. ¶In both passages, the descendants of Darkon are listed among the Nethinim who returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and Jeshua, the high priest. This return took place around 538 BC, after the Persian king Cyrus issued a decree allowing the Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the Temple. ¶The mention of Darkon's family in these lists highlights the importance of the Nethinim in the restoration of Temple worship after the exile. Although they were not Levites, they played a vital role in supporting the Temple's functions and were considered part of the Jewish community. ¶Apart from being named as the ancestor of a family of temple servants, no other information about Darkon himself is provided in the Bible. ========== PERSON(s) Dathan@Num.16.1-Psa=H1885 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Eliab@Num.16.1-Deu + Abiram@Num.16.1-Psa, Nemuel@Num.26.9 Tribe of Reuben #A man from the tribe of Reuben living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Num.16.1;

When Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, they refused to come, accusing Moses of failing to bring them into a land flowing with milk and honey (Num.16.12-14). ¶As the rebellion escalated, Moses warned the congregation to move away from the tents of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram (Num.16.24-27). God then caused the earth to open up and swallow Dathan, Abiram, and their households, along with Korah and his followers (Num.16.31-35; Psalm Num.106.17). ¶The sons of Dathan and Abiram, however, did not die in this judgment (Num.26.9-11).

The marriage to Pharaoh's daughter demonstrates Solomon's growing power and influence, as well as his willingness to form alliances with foreign nations. However, it also foreshadows Solomon's eventual downfall, as his many foreign wives led him astray from worshiping the one true God (1Ki.11.1-8). ========== PERSON(s) daughter_of_Pharaoh@Exo.2.5=H6547O Woman living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness - unnamed daughter of Pharaoh Pharaoh@Exo.1.11-Heb + Egypt #A woman of the Egyptians living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Exo.2.5;

When Moses was born, his mother hid him for three months to protect him from Pharaoh's decree to kill all Hebrew male infants. When she could no longer hide him, she placed him in a basket and set it among the reeds of the Nile River. Pharaoh's daughter discovered the basket while bathing in the Nile and recognized the child as a Hebrew. Moses' sister Miriam, who was watching nearby, offered to find a Hebrew woman to nurse the child, and Pharaoh's daughter agreed. Miriam brought Moses' mother, who was then hired by Pharaoh's daughter to nurse the child. When Moses grew older, Pharaoh's daughter adopted him as her son and named him Moses, saying, "Because I drew him out of the water" (Exo.2.5-10). This event set the stage for Moses' upbringing in the Egyptian royal court and his eventual role as the deliverer of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage. ========== PERSON(s) daughter_of_Putiel@Exo.6.25=H6317H Woman living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness - unnamed daughter of Putiel Putiel@Exo.6.25 + Eleazar@Exo.6.23-Ezr Phinehas@Exo.6.25-Psa > #A woman living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Exo.6.25;

The Bible does not provide additional information about the younger daughter's life or character, but her actions, like those of her sister, reflect the desperation and moral decay of the time. ========== PERSON(s) David@Rut.4.17-Rev=H1732 King living at the time of United Monarchy Jesse@Rut.4.17-Rom + Nahash@2Sa.17.25 Eliab@1Sa.16.6-2Ch, Abinadab@1Sa.16.8-1Ch, Shimeah@1Sa.16.9-1Ch, Zeruiah@1Sa.26.6-1Ch, Abigail@2Sa.17.25-1Ch(?), Nethanel@1Ch.2.14, Raddai@1Ch.2.14, Ozem@1Ch.2.15, Elihu@1Ch.27.18 Michal@1Sa.14.49-1Ch, Abigail@1Sa.25.3-1Ch, Ahinoam@1Sa.25.43-1Ch, Maacah@2Sa.3.3-1Ch, Haggith@2Sa.3.4-1Ch, Abital@2Sa.3.4-1Ch, Eglah@2Sa.3.5-1Ch, Bathsheba@2Sa.11.3-Psa, Jerusalem_wives@2Sa.5.13 Amnon@2Sa.3.2-1Ch, Chileab@2Sa.3.3-1Ch, Absalom@2Sa.3.3-Psa, Adonijah@2Sa.3.4-1Ch, Shephatiah@2Sa.3.4-1Ch, Ithream@2Sa.3.5-1Ch, Shammua@2Sa.5.14-1Ch, Shobab@2Sa.5.14-1Ch, Nathan@2Sa.5.14-Luk, Solomon@2Sa.5.14-Act, Ibhar@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Elishua@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Nepheg@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Japhia@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Elishama@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Eliada@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Eliphelet@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Tamar@2Sa.13.1-1Ch, Elpelet@1Ch.3.6-, Nogah@1Ch.3.7-, Jerimoth@2Ch.11.18 Tribe of Judah #A king of Judah living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at Rut.4.17;

He was anointed by Samuel to be king over Israel, succeeding Saul (1Sa.16.13). David first gained fame as a young man by defeating the Philistine giant Goliath with a sling and a stone (1 Samuel 17). ¶David's reign as king was marked by military successes, as he defeated the enemies of Israel and expanded the kingdom (2 Samuel 8). He is known for his devotion to God and is called "a man after God's own heart" (1Sa.13.14; Act.13.22). Many of the psalms in the Bible are attributed to David, reflecting his deep faith and trust in God (e.g., Psalms 3, 23, 51). ¶However, David's life was not without flaws. He committed adultery with Bathsheba and orchestrated the death of her husband, Uriah (2 Samuel 11). As a result, David faced consequences, including the death of his child and turmoil within his family (2 Samuel 12-18). ¶Despite his failings, David remained a central figure in Israel's history and a model of repentance and faith. He was promised an enduring dynasty, and the Messiah would come from his lineage (2Sa.7.12-16). This prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is called the "Son of David" (Mat.1.1; Rom.1.3). ¶David's life and reign are recorded in 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, and portions of 1 Kings. His significance extends into the New Testament, where he is mentioned in connection with Jesus' lineage and messianic identity (Mat.1.1; Luk.1.32; Act.13.22-23; Rev.22.16). ========== PERSON(s) Debir@Jos.10.3=H1688H King living before Israel's Monarchy + Sinai #A king of the Amorites living before Israel's Monarchy, only mentioned at Jos.10.3;

He joined a coalition of five Amorite kings led by Adoni-Zedek, king of Jerusalem, to attack Gibeon after the Gibeonites made a peace treaty with Israel (Jos.10.3-4). ¶In response to the Gibeonites' request for help, Joshua and the Israelite army marched all night from Gilgal and caught the Amorite kings by surprise. The Lord threw the Amorite armies into confusion, and Joshua's forces defeated them decisively (Jos.10.5-10). ¶As the Amorite kings fled, the Lord caused large hailstones to fall on them, killing more of them than the Israelites did with their swords (Jos.10.11). Joshua then called for the sun and moon to stand still, allowing the Israelites to complete their victory (Jos.10.12-13). ¶The five Amorite kings, including Debir, were found hiding in a cave at Makkedah. They were captured, brought before Joshua, and executed (Jos.10.16-27). ¶Debir's defeat, along with the other Amorite kings, was a significant victory for the Israelites as they continued their conquest of the Promised Land under Joshua's leadership. ========== PERSON(s) Deborah@Gen.35.8=H1683G Prophetess living at the time of the Patriarchs + > #A prophetess living at the time of the Patriarchs, only mentioned at Gen.35.8;

The context of this passage is Jacob's return to Bethel, where he had previously encountered God in a dream (Gen.28.10-22). ¶As Israel (or 'Jacob') and his household journeyed to Bethel, Deborah died and was buried under an oak tree below Bethel. The oak tree was then called Allon-bacuth, which means "Oak of Weeping," indicating the mourning that took place at her burial site. ¶The mention of Deborah's death and burial at this point in the narrative suggests that she had been with Jacob's family for a long time, likely since Rebekah's marriage to Isaac. ========== PERSON(s) Deborah@Jdg.4.4-=H1683H Judge living before Israel's Monarchy + Lappidoth@Jdg.4.4 > #A Judge living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Jdg.4.4;

She lived during a time when the Israelites were oppressed by Jabin, the king of Canaan (Jdg.4.4). Deborah held court under a palm tree between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, where the Israelites came to her for judgment (Jdg.4.5). ¶Deborah summoned Barak, an Israelite warrior, and delivered a message from God instructing him to lead an army against Sisera, the commander of Jabin's army (Jdg.4.6-7). Barak agreed to go only if Deborah accompanied him, to which she consented but prophesied that the honor of the victory would go to a woman (Jdg.4.8-9). ¶Deborah and Barak led the Israelite army to Mount Tabor, where they defeated Sisera's forces (Jdg.4.10-16). Sisera fled and sought refuge in the tent of Jael, who killed him by driving a tent peg through his temple (Jdg.4.17-22). ¶After the victory, Deborah and Barak sang a song of praise, recounting the events of the battle and celebrating God's deliverance (Jdg.5.1-31). Deborah's leadership as a prophetess and judge brought 40 years of peace to the land of Israel (Jdg.5.31). ========== PERSON(s) Dedan@Gen.10.7-1Ch=H1719B Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Raamah@Gen.10.7-1Ch + Sheba@Gen.10.7-Jol Early Patriarch #A man of the Cushites living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.7;

This letter was part of a larger effort by the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin to halt the reconstruction work that had begun under the leadership of Zerubbabel and Jeshua. ¶The Dehavites are listed alongside other groups, such as the Bishlomites, the Tarpelites, and the people of Erech and Babylon, who were transplanted to Samaria by the Assyrian king Osnappar (likely Ashurbanipal). These groups are collectively referred to as "the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnappar brought over and settled in the cities of Samaria" (Ezr.4.10). ¶The letter these groups sent to Artaxerxes contained accusations against the Jews, claiming that if the city were rebuilt and its walls completed, the Jews would rebel and cause damage to the royal revenue. As a result of this letter, the rebuilding work was temporarily halted until the second year of the reign of King Darius of Persia (Ezr.4.24). ¶Apart from this single mention in Ezra, no further information is provided about the Dehavites or their specific origins. Their inclusion in the list of opposing groups highlights the challenges and opposition faced by the Jews as they sought to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple following their return from Babylonian exile. ========== PERSON(s) Deker@1Ki.4.9=H1857 Man living at the time of United Monarchy + Ben-deker@1Ki.4.9 > #A man living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ki.4.9;

These locations were likely within the tribe of Dan, situated in the western part of Israel. ¶The appointment of these twelve officers was part of Solomon's administrative structure, which aimed to ensure the efficient management of resources and the well-being of the royal court. By dividing the responsibility among twelve officers, Solomon could ensure a consistent supply of provisions throughout the year. ¶Apart from this brief mention in the context of Solomon's administration, no other details are provided about Deker or his personal life.

David, along with Zadok and Ahimelech, organized the priests into twenty-four divisions to ensure a systematic and orderly service in the temple. ¶Each division was responsible for serving in the temple for a specific period, and the order was determined by casting lots. Delaiah's division was the twenty-third in the order of service. ¶The organization of the priests into divisions allowed for a fair distribution of duties and responsibilities, ensuring that the temple service ran smoothly and efficiently.

Delaiah is listed as one of the sons of Elioenai, who was a descendant of Jeconiah through Shealtiel and Zerubbabel. ¶The genealogy in 1 Chronicles 3 traces the royal line of David, focusing on the kings of Judah and their descendants. The inclusion of Delaiah and his family members in this genealogy indicates that they were part of the royal lineage, even after the exile to Babylon. ¶The mention of Delaiah and his brothers (Hizkiah, Akkub, Johanan, Dalaiah, and Anani) several generations after Zerubbabel suggests that the descendants of David continued to be recognized and recorded even after the return from exile and the end of the monarchy. ¶Apart from this genealogical reference, no other details are provided about Delaiah's life or specific role.

This family, along with the families of Tobiah and Nekoda, sought to be included among the priests but could not prove their genealogy or priestly lineage. ¶The context of these passages is the listing of the exiles who returned to Jerusalem and Judah under the leadership of Zerubbabel. The list includes the numbers of people from various families, as well as priests, Levites, and temple servants. ¶The inability of Delaiah's descendants to prove their priestly lineage suggests that during the exile, some families may have lost their genealogical records or had their priestly status questioned. As a result, they were not allowed to serve as priests until a priest with the Urim and Thummim could determine their status (Ezr.2.63; Neh.7.65). ¶The mention of Delaiah's family in this context highlights the importance of maintaining accurate genealogical records, especially for those serving in priestly roles.

This event took place during the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah. ¶After hearing the words of Jeremiah's scroll, Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, went to the king's house and reported the message to all the officials, including Delaiah (Jer.36.11-13). The officials then sent for Baruch and had him read the scroll to them. Alarmed by the message, they decided to report it to the king (Jer.36.14-16). ¶King Jehoiakim, after hearing a portion of the scroll, cut it with a scribe's knife and burned it in the fire, despite the pleas of some officials, including Delaiah, not to do so (Jer.36.25). This action demonstrated the king's rejection of God's word and his defiance against the prophetic message. ¶Delaiah's presence among the officials and his attempt to prevent the king from burning the scroll suggest that he had some level of influence in the royal court and that he recognized the significance of Jeremiah's message.

Nehemiah's enemies, Sanballat and Tobiah, had hired Shemaiah to trick Nehemiah into hiding in the temple, claiming that there was a plot to kill him. ¶Shemaiah invited Nehemiah to meet with him at the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was confined to his home. The fact that Shemaiah was confined to his home suggests that he may have been a prophet or a man of some religious significance. ¶However, Nehemiah perceived that Shemaiah's prophecy was not from God and that he had been hired by Nehemiah's enemies to intimidate him and cause him to sin by entering the temple, which was forbidden for someone in Nehemiah's position (Neh.6.11-13). ¶The mention of Delaiah in this context serves to identify Shemaiah and to highlight the opposition and deception Nehemiah faced while rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem.

Samson fell in love with Delilah, and the Philistine rulers, seeing an opportunity to defeat their enemy, offered Delilah a substantial sum of money to discover the secret of Samson's strength (Jdg.16.4-5). ¶Delilah repeatedly asked Samson to reveal the source of his strength, but he deceived her three times. First, he told her that if he were bound with seven fresh bowstrings, he would become weak, but when she did so, he broke them easily (Jdg.16.6-9). Next, he claimed that new ropes would render him helpless, but he snapped them as well (Jdg.16.10-12). Finally, he said that weaving his hair into a loom would take away his strength, but this too proved false (Jdg.16.13-14). ¶Frustrated by Samson's deception, Delilah persistently pressed him for the truth, wearing him down with her words day after day. Eventually, Samson revealed that his strength came from his uncut hair, a sign of his Nazirite vow to God (Jdg.16.15-17). Delilah lulled Samson to sleep, called for a man to shave his head, and his strength left him (Jdg.16.18-19). ¶The Philistines captured the weakened Samson, gouged out his eyes, and forced him to work as a grinder in prison (Jdg.16.20-21). Delilah's betrayal ultimately led to Samson's humiliation and imprisonment, though he later regained his strength and brought down the Philistine temple, killing many Philistines and himself in the process (Jdg.16.22-30). ¶Delilah's story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of temptation, deception, and the consequences of betraying one's vows to God. It also highlights the weakness of even the strongest man when he allows himself to be swayed by the wiles of a woman. ========== PERSON(s) Demas@Col.4.14-Phm=G1214 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Col.4.14;

In Col.4.14 and Phm.1.24, Paul sends greetings from Demas, along with other believers such as Luke, Mark, and Aristarchus. This suggests that Demas was a valued member of Paul's ministry team during his imprisonment in Rome. ¶However, in 2Ti.4.10, Paul writes with a tone of disappointment, stating that Demas had forsaken him, "having loved this present world." This statement indicates that Demas had abandoned Paul and the ministry, choosing instead to pursue worldly interests. The exact nature of Demas' desertion is not specified, but it clearly caused Paul distress, especially as he faced his impending martyrdom. ¶The contrast between Demas' earlier dedication and his later abandonment serves as a warning to believers about the allure of worldly pursuits and the importance of remaining faithful to Christ and His mission. Demas' story is a reminder that even those who have served alongside great leaders like Paul can fall away if they allow their love for the world to supersede their commitment to God. ========== PERSON(s) Demetrius@Act.19.24-3Jn=G1216 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.19.24;

When Paul's preaching of the gospel led many people to turn away from worshipping Artemis, Demetrius gathered his fellow craftsmen and incited a riot against Paul and his companions. ¶Demetrius argued that Paul's teaching threatened not only their livelihood but also the reputation of the temple of Artemis, which was renowned throughout Asia and the world (Act.19.24-27). His speech roused the crowd, who began shouting, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" The city was thrown into confusion, and Paul's companions, Gaius and Aristarchus, were dragged into the theater. ¶The riot was eventually quelled by the city clerk, who reminded the crowd that Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen had legal recourse if they had a complaint against anyone (Act.19.38). He also warned them about the consequences of their unlawful assembly. ¶The incident with Demetrius highlights the economic and religious challenges that early Christians faced as the gospel spread and confronted deeply entrenched pagan beliefs and practices. It also demonstrates the power of the gospel to transform lives and the opposition that often arises when the message of Christ threatens the status quo. ========== PERSON(s) Deuel@Num.1.14-=H1845 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness + Eliasaph@Num.1.14- Tribe of Gad #A man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Num.1.14;

In Num.1.14, Eliasaph is identified as the son of Deuel when Moses and Aaron take a census of the Israelites. ¶Later, in Num.2.14, Eliasaph is again mentioned as the leader of the tribe of Gad, and his father's name is given as Reuel. This variation in names has led some scholars to conclude that Deuel and Reuel refer to the same person, with the names being used interchangeably. ¶Eliasaph's leadership role is further highlighted in Num.7.42,47, where he presents the offering for the tribe of Gad during the dedication of the tabernacle. In Num.10.20, Eliasaph is once again mentioned as the leader of the Gadites when the Israelites set out from Mount Sinai. ¶The mention of Deuel/Reuel in these passages serves to identify Eliasaph and emphasize his role as a tribal leader during a significant period in Israel's history. As the father of Eliasaph, Deuel/Reuel would have been a respected figure within the tribe of Gad. ========== PERSON(s) Diblaim@Hos.1.3=H1691 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Gomer@Hos.1.3 > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Hos.1.3;

The verse states, "So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son." ¶The name Diblaim is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, and no further information is provided about him. His inclusion in the text serves primarily to identify Gomer and to emphasize that Hosea's marriage to her was a real, historical event. ¶Hosea's marriage to Gomer was intended to be a symbolic representation of God's relationship with Israel. Just as Gomer was unfaithful to Hosea, Israel had been unfaithful to God by worshipping other gods and breaking their covenant with Him. Through this marriage, God instructed Hosea to demonstrate His unwavering love and commitment to His people, despite their unfaithfulness. ¶The children born to Hosea and Gomer were also given symbolic names that conveyed God's messages of judgment and restoration for Israel. While Diblaim is not a central figure in this narrative, his mention helps to ground the account in a specific historical and familial context. ========== PERSON(s) Dibri@Lev.24.11=H1704 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness + Shelomith@Lev.24.11 > #A man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Lev.24.11;

The verse states that Shelomith's son, whose father was an Egyptian, blasphemed the name of God and cursed during a fight with an Israelite man. ¶As a result of this incident, God instructed Moses that the man who blasphemed should be brought outside the camp and stoned to death by the congregation (Lev.24.14). This event also led to the establishment of a law stating that anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord must be put to death (Lev.24.16). ¶Dibri's mention in this passage serves to identify Shelomith and her son, highlighting the fact that the blasphemer was the offspring of an Israelite woman and an Egyptian man. This detail may suggest that the man's mixed background influenced his actions or that his offense was particularly egregious because he was not a full-blooded Israelite. ¶The incident involving Dibri's grandson emphasizes the seriousness of blasphemy in ancient Israelite society and the importance of revering God's name. It also demonstrates that God's laws applied equally to all those living among the Israelites, regardless of their lineage. ========== PERSON(s) Diklah@Gen.10.27-1Ch=H1853 Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Joktan@Gen.10.25-1Ch + Almodad@Gen.10.26-1Ch, Sheleph@Gen.10.26-1Ch, Hazarmaveth@Gen.10.26-1Ch, Jerah@Gen.10.26-1Ch, Hadoram@Gen.10.27-1Ch, Uzal@Gen.10.27-1Ch, Obal@Gen.10.28-1Ch, Abimael@Gen.10.28-1Ch, Sheba@Gen.10.28-1Ch, Ophir@Gen.10.29-1Ch, Havilah@Gen.10.29-1Ch, Jobab@Gen.10.29-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.27;

She is most prominently featured in Genesis 34, which recounts a tragic event that had far-reaching consequences for her family and the inhabitants of Shechem. ¶When Dinah went out to visit the women of the land, Shechem, the son of Hamor the Hivite, saw her and raped her (Gen.34.1-2). Despite this violation, Shechem became deeply attracted to Dinah and sought to marry her (Gen.34.3-4). ¶Jacob learned of the incident but remained silent until his sons returned from tending the livestock (Gen.34.5). Hamor, Shechem's father, approached Jacob to arrange a marriage between Shechem and Dinah, proposing intermarriage and trade between their peoples (Gen.34.6-10). ¶Dinah's brothers, however, were filled with grief and fury over the defilement of their sister (Gen.34.7). They deceitfully agreed to the marriage on the condition that all the men of Shechem be circumcised (Gen.34.13-17). The Shechemites agreed, and all the men of the city were circumcised (Gen.34.18-24). ¶Three days later, while the men of Shechem were still in pain, Simeon and Levi, two of Dinah's brothers, attacked the city, killed all the males, plundered the city, and took Dinah back (Gen.34.25-29). This action troubled Jacob, who feared retaliation from the surrounding peoples (Gen.34.30). ¶Dinah is later mentioned in the listing of Jacob's descendants who went to Egypt during the famine (Gen.46.15). Her story serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of sexual violence and the dangers of deceit and revenge. ========== PERSON(s) Dinaite@Ezr.4.9=H1784 Word sometimes translated as a name + > #A group or a word meaning "judges", only mentioned at Ezr.4.9;

This letter was part of a larger effort by the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin to halt the reconstruction work that had begun under the leadership of Zerubbabel and Jeshua. ¶The Dinaites are listed alongside other groups such as the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, and the people of Susa, Erech, and Babylon. These groups are collectively referred to as "the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Osnappar brought over and settled in the cities of Samaria" (Ezr.4.10). Osnappar is likely another name for the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal, who was known for his policy of resettling conquered peoples. ¶The letter these groups sent to Artaxerxes contained accusations against the Jews, claiming that if the city were rebuilt and its walls completed, the Jews would rebel and cause damage to the royal revenue. As a result of this letter, the rebuilding work was temporarily halted until the second year of the reign of King Darius of Persia (Ezr.4.24). ¶Apart from this single mention in Ezra, no further information is provided about the Dinaites or their specific origins.

The Areopagus was a council of elders and a place of philosophical discussion in ancient Athens, and Dionysius was a member of this council. ¶The context of this passage is Paul's visit to Athens, where he engaged in discussions with Epicurean and Stoic philosophers (Act.17.16-18). Some of these philosophers brought Paul to the Areopagus, where he delivered a speech, proclaiming the truth about the "Unknown God" and the resurrection of Jesus Christ (Act.17.19-31). ¶While some mocked Paul's message, particularly the idea of the resurrection, others wanted to hear more (Act.17.32). Among those who believed were Dionysius and a woman named Damaris, along with some others (Act.17.34). ¶The mention of Dionysius by name and his designation as an Areopagite suggests that he was a prominent figure in Athenian society. His conversion to Christianity demonstrates the power of the gospel to reach individuals from various backgrounds and intellectual traditions. ¶According to church tradition, Dionysius later became the first bishop of Athens.

Moreover, Diotrephes would not receive other believers who were associated with John and would expel from the church those who did welcome them (3Jn.1.10). ¶John's letter to Gaius, in which Diotrephes is mentioned, was written to commend Gaius for his faithfulness and hospitality towards traveling ministers (3Jn.1.5-8). By contrast, Diotrephes' behavior was a hindrance to the spread of the gospel and the unity of the church. ¶John declared his intention to confront Diotrephes about his actions when he visited the church (3Jn.1.10). ========== PERSON(s) Dishan@Gen.36.21-1Ch=H1789G Edomite living at the time of the Patriarchs Seir@Gen.36.20-1Ch + Lotan@Gen.36.20-1Ch, Shobal@Gen.36.20-1Ch, Zibeon@Gen.36.2-1Ch, Dishon@Gen.36.21-1Ch, Ezer@Gen.36.21-1Ch, Timna@Gen.36.12-1Ch Uz@Gen.36.28-1Ch, Aran@Gen.36.28-1Ch Edom #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.36.21;

He first appears in 1Sa.21.7, where he is described as the chief herdsman of Saul and is present at the tabernacle in Nob when David arrives seeking help from the priest Ahimelech. ¶Later, in 1 Samuel 22, Doeg plays a crucial role in the events that follow. When Saul learns that Ahimelech had assisted David, he summons the priests to appear before him. Doeg, being present at the time, informs Saul that he had seen David receiving help from Ahimelech (1Sa.22.9-10). ¶Acting on Saul's orders, Doeg kills 85 priests who were wearing the linen ephod, as well as the entire city of Nob, including men, women, children, and livestock (1Sa.22.18-19). This massacre highlights Doeg's ruthless obedience to Saul and his willingness to carry out violent acts against innocent people. ¶Doeg's actions are condemned in Psalm 52, which is attributed to David. The psalm describes Doeg as a deceitful and evil man who loves falsehood and delights in destruction (Psalm 1Sa.52.1-4). The psalmist expresses confidence that God will bring judgment upon Doeg and that the righteous will ultimately prevail (Psalm 1Sa.52.5-9). ¶Doeg's story serves as an example of the dangers of misplaced loyalty and the consequences of aligning oneself with those who oppose God's chosen leaders. His betrayal of David and his role in the massacre at Nob stand in stark contrast to the faithfulness and righteousness exemplified by David and Ahimelech. ========== PERSON(s) Drusilla@Act.24.24=G1409 Woman living at the time of the New Testament + Felix@Act.23.24- > #A woman living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Act.24.24;

She was present when Felix summoned Paul to hear him speak about his faith in Christ. ¶Drusilla was the daughter of Herod Agrippa I, who was the grandson of Herod the Great and the king of Judea from 41 to 44 AD. She was born around 38 AD and was known for her beauty and her tumultuous personal life. ¶According to the Jewish historian Josephus, Drusilla was originally married to Azizus, the king of Emesa, who had agreed to be circumcised in order to marry her. However, Felix, who was captivated by her beauty, persuaded her to leave her husband and marry him instead. This was seen as a scandalous act, as it violated Jewish law and custom. ¶When Paul spoke to Felix and Drusilla about righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, Felix became frightened and sent Paul away, saying he would summon him again when it was convenient (Act.24.25). This suggests that Paul's message had a profound impact on Felix. ========== PERSON(s) Dumah@Gen.25.14-1Ch=H1746G Arabian living at the time of the Patriarchs Ishmael@Gen.16.11-Psa + Nebaioth@Gen.25.13-Isa, Kedar@Gen.25.13-Ezk, Adbeel@Gen.25.13-1Ch, Mibsam@Gen.25.13-1Ch, Mishma@Gen.25.14-1Ch, Massa@Gen.25.14-1Ch, Hadad@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Tema@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Jetur@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Naphish@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Kedemah@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Mahalath@Gen.28.9- Arabia #A man of the Arabs living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.25.14;

Ishmael's descendants became twelve princes according to their nations (Gen.25.16), fulfilling the promise God made to Abraham regarding Ishmael (Gen.17.20). ¶The name Dumah means "silence" or "stillness" in Hebrew.

His inclusion in the genealogies serves to highlight the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham concerning Ishmael and to trace the origins of the Arab peoples who descended from him. ¶Dumah's descendants, along with those of his brothers, likely became nomadic tribes that inhabited the regions of the Arabian Peninsula.

He is listed as one of the sons of Shobal, who was a descendant of Seir the Horite. ¶The Horites were the original inhabitants of Mount Seir, the region south of the Dead Sea, before Esau's descendants settled there (Deu.2.12). Seir the Horite, Ebal's ancestor, is mentioned as one of the chiefs of the Horites (Gen.36.20-21). ¶The inclusion of Ebal and other Horite names in Esau's genealogy suggests that there was intermarriage between Esau's descendants and the Horites. This intermingling of the two groups is further evidenced by the fact that Esau's grandson, Zepho, is also named as a descendant of Seir the Horite (Gen.36.11, 15). ¶Apart from being listed in these genealogies, no further information is provided about Ebal or his specific role in the biblical narrative. His mention serves to trace the origins and relationships of the people living in the region of Edom during the time of the patriarchs. ¶It is worth noting that there is another Ebal mentioned in the Bible, which is a mountain in the land of Canaan (Deu.11.29; 27.4, 13).

This return took place during the reign of King Artaxerxes of Persia, who granted Ezra permission to lead a group of exiles back to Jerusalem (Ezr.7.11-26). ¶Ezra, a priest and scribe skilled in the Law of Moses, gathered a group of Israelites, including priests, Levites, and laypeople, to return to Jerusalem. The purpose of this return was to reestablish proper worship and religious practices in the city and to strengthen the Jewish community there. ¶In preparation for the journey, Ezra proclaimed a fast by the river Ahava, seeking God's protection and guidance (Ezr.8.21-23). He also took measures to ensure the safety of the temple treasures they were carrying and to appoint leaders among the priests and Levites (Ezr.8.24-30). ¶Ebed, as a descendant of Adin, was part of this group of returnees.

However, Gaal son of Ebed arrived in Shechem and gained the trust of the people (Jdg.9.26). Gaal openly challenged Abimelech's authority, questioning his claim to rule over the city (Jdg.9.28). ¶When Zebul, the ruler of the city and a supporter of Abimelech, heard of Gaal's words, he sent messengers to warn Abimelech (Jdg.9.30-31). Abimelech then devised a plan to attack the city and confront Gaal and his followers (Jdg.9.32-33). ¶In the ensuing battle, Abimelech defeated Gaal and his supporters, driving them out of the city (Jdg.9.35-41). Abimelech later destroyed the city and sowed it with salt, symbolizing its complete destruction (Jdg.9.45). ¶While Ebed himself is not mentioned beyond being identified as Gaal's father, his son's actions played a significant role in the narrative of Abimelech's reign and downfall.

Eber is also mentioned as the father of Peleg and Joktan (Gen.10.25).

This places Eber in the context of the postdiluvian patriarchs, who lived extraordinarily long lives. ¶In Num.24.24, Eber is mentioned in Balaam's prophetic oracle, where "ships from the coast of Kittim" are said to afflict Asshur and Eber.

He was a descendant of Korah, the Levite who led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness (Numbers 16). ¶In the genealogies of the Levites in 1Ch.6.23,37, Ebiasaph is listed as the son of Korah and the ancestor of the temple singers and musicians. This genealogy traces the lineage of the Levites from the time of Moses to the reign of King David. ¶Ebiasaph is also mentioned in Exo.6.24 as one of the sons of Korah, along with Assir and Elkanah. This passage is part of the genealogy of the Levites, specifically the descendants of Kohath, who were responsible for carrying the sacred objects of the tabernacle during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. ¶In 1Ch.9.19, Ebiasaph is identified as an ancestor of the gatekeepers of the tabernacle. The gatekeepers were responsible for guarding the entrances to the sacred areas and ensuring that only authorized personnel could enter. ¶Furthermore, in 1Ch.26.1, Ebiasaph is mentioned as the ancestor of a division of gatekeepers during the time of King David. This passage describes the organization of the Levites and their duties in the temple service. ¶The interchangeable use of the names Ebiasaph, Abiasaph, and Asaph in these passages suggests that they refer to the same individual. The variations in spelling may be due to differences in transliteration or scribal traditions. ¶Ebiasaph's inclusion in these genealogies highlights the importance of the Levitical lineage and their roles in the tabernacle and temple service. As a descendant of Korah, Ebiasaph's family line was redeemed from the rebellion and given the privilege of serving in the house of the Lord. ========== PERSON(s) Eden@2Ch.29.12=H5731A Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Joah@2Ch.29.12b + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ch.29.12;

He is identified as a member of the family of Joah, which was a Levitical clan. ¶The context of this passage is Hezekiah's reformation of the religious practices in Judah. Upon ascending to the throne, Hezekiah opened the doors of the temple and ordered the Levites to cleanse and sanctify it, as it had been neglected and defiled during the reign of his father, Ahaz (2Ch.29.3-5). ¶In response to the king's command, the Levites, including Eden, gathered to cleanse the temple. They removed all the unclean items, carried them to the Kidron Valley, and purified the temple according to the Law of Moses (2Ch.29.15-16). ¶Eden's participation in this cleansing process highlights the importance of the Levites' role in maintaining the sanctity of the temple and assisting in the restoration of proper worship practices. The mention of his family clan, Joah, suggests that specific Levitical families had designated duties within the temple service. ¶Apart from this brief mention, no further information is provided about Eden or his specific role in the temple cleansing.

As part of his efforts to restore proper worship, Hezekiah ordered the people to bring their contributions, tithes, and dedicated gifts to the temple (2Ch.31.4-5). The response was overwhelming, and the people brought an abundance of offerings (2Ch.31.6-8). ¶To ensure the fair distribution of these offerings among the Levites and their families, Hezekiah appointed Eden and the other mentioned Levites to oversee the process. They were responsible for distributing the portions to their brethren in their cities, according to the divisions of the Levitical families (2Ch.31.15-19). ¶The appointment of Eden and the other Levites for this task highlights the importance of organization and fairness in the administration of the temple resources. It also demonstrates Hezekiah's concern for the well-being of the Levites and their families, ensuring that they received their due portions from the offerings. ¶Apart from this brief mention, no further information is provided about Eden or his specific role in the distribution process.

The genealogy then proceeds to list the sons of Beriah, including Eder. ¶The mention of Eder in this genealogy serves to highlight the importance of family lineage and tribal identity in ancient Israelite society.

Eglah is mentioned alongside David's other wives, such as Ahinoam, Abigail, Maacah, and Haggith, each of whom bore him a son during this period. ¶Interestingly, Eglah is the only one of David's wives mentioned in this list who is not given a descriptive title or background information. The other wives are identified as the daughter of a king or the widow of a notable figure, but Eglah is simply mentioned by name. ¶Some scholars suggest that Eglah may have been another name for Michal, David's first wife and the daughter of King Saul.

After the Israelites did evil in the sight of the Lord, God strengthened Eglon against them and allowed him to conquer and rule over Israel (Jdg.3.12-14). ¶During this period of oppression, the Israelites cried out to the Lord for deliverance. In response, God raised up Ehud, a left-handed Benjamite, as a deliverer (Jdg.3.15). Ehud crafted a double-edged sword and concealed it under his clothing. ¶Acting as an emissary, Ehud brought tribute to Eglon, who is described as a very fat man (Jdg.3.17). After presenting the tribute, Ehud sent away the people who had carried it and returned to Eglon, claiming to have a secret message for him. When Eglon dismissed his attendants, Ehud approached him and declared, "I have a message from God for you" (Jdg.3.18-20). ¶Ehud then drew his concealed sword with his left hand and thrust it into Eglon's belly. The sword's hilt sank in after the blade, and Eglon's fat closed over it. Ehud left the sword in Eglon's body and escaped, locking the doors of the upper room behind him (Jdg.3.21-23). ¶Eglon's servants later discovered their king dead and Ehud long gone. Ehud rallied the Israelites, who seized the fords of the Jordan leading to Moab and struck down about 10,000 Moabites. This victory brought peace to the land for eighty years (Jdg.3.24-30). ¶The story of Eglon's oppression and Ehud's assassination highlights the cycle of sin, oppression, and deliverance that characterizes the book of Judges. It also demonstrates God's faithfulness in raising up deliverers for His people when they cry out to Him. ========== PERSON(s) Egypt@Gen.10.6-1Ch=H4714H Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Ham@Gen.5.32-1Ch + Canaan@Gen.9.18-1Ch, Cush@Gen.10.6-1Ch, Put@Gen.10.6-1Ch Ludim@Gen.10.13-1Ch, Anamim@Gen.10.13-1Ch, Lehabim@Gen.10.13-1Ch, Naphtuhim@Gen.10.13-1Ch, Pathrusim@Gen.10.14-1Ch, Casluhim@Gen.10.14-1Ch, Caphtorim@Gen.10.14-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.6;

Ham's sons, including Egypt, are generally associated with the peoples of Africa. ¶In the Genesis account, Egypt is listed alongside his brothers Cush, Put, and Canaan (Gen.10.6; 1Ch.1.8). These names correspond to regions and peoples in Africa and the Middle East. ¶The descendants of Egypt are further elaborated in Gen.10.13-14 and 1Ch.1.11-12. The text lists the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, Pathrusites, Casluhites, and Caphtorites as the peoples descending from Egypt. These names likely represent various tribes or regions within the larger territory of Egypt and its surrounding areas. ¶The Pathrusites, for example, are believed to be associated with the region of Pathros in Upper Egypt, while the Caphtorites are often connected with the island of Crete or the Aegean region. ¶It is worth noting that the name "Egypt" (Mizraim) is a dual form in Hebrew, possibly referring to the two main regions of Egypt: Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt. This dual form may also suggest the idea of Egypt as a powerful and prominent nation. ¶In the biblical narrative, Egypt plays a significant role as the place where the Israelites were enslaved for hundreds of years before the Exodus. The land of Egypt is also mentioned in connection with various biblical figures, such as Abraham, Joseph, and Moses. ¶The inclusion of Egypt in the Table of Nations serves to trace the origins and spread of the world's populations from the perspective of the ancient Israelites. It also highlights the diversity of nations and peoples that emerged from Noah's descendants after the Flood. ========== PERSON(s) Ehud@1Ch.7.10=H0164H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Bilhan@1Ch.7.10 + Jeush@1Ch.7.10, Benjamin@1Ch.7.10, Chenaanah@1Ch.7.10, Zethan@1Ch.7.10, Tarshish@1Ch.7.10, Ahishahar@1Ch.7.10 Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.7.10;

After Samuel's birth, Hannah dedicates him to serve under Eli at the tabernacle (1Sa.1.25-28). However, Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were wicked and did not follow God's ways (1Sa.2.12-17). Eli failed to restrain their behavior, leading to a prophecy of judgment against his family (1Sa.2.27-36). Eli continued to serve as the high priest and judge, while Samuel grew up in the tabernacle (1 Samuel 3). In his old age, Eli received news of Israel's defeat by the Philistines, the capture of the Ark of the Covenant, and the death of his sons. Upon hearing this, Eli fell backward, broke his neck, and died at the age of 98 (1Sa.4.12-18).

When Jehoiakim cuts up the scroll and burns it, Elnathan and two other officials plead with the king not to do so, showing their respect for the prophetic word (Jer.36.12,25). Despite their efforts, Jehoiakim refuses to listen and continues to reject Jeremiah's warnings.

Esau, the son of Isaac and Rebekah, married two Hittite women, Judith and Basemath, causing grief to his parents (Gen.26.34). Basemath is specifically identified as the daughter of Elon the Hittite. The Hittites were a people group living in Canaan during the time of the patriarchs. Esau's marriage to Hittite women was seen as a departure from the custom of marrying within the family or tribe, as his parents had desired. In Gen.36.2, Basemath is again mentioned as one of Esau's wives, reaffirming her identity as the daughter of Elon the Hittite. No further information is provided about Elon's life, occupation, or role in the Hittite community.

He is listed among the descendants of Jacob who went down to Egypt during the time of Joseph. Later, in the book of Numbers, Elon is identified as the founder of the Elonite clan within the tribe of Zebulun (Num.26.26). The Elonites are mentioned in the census of the Israelites taken in the wilderness of Sinai, indicating that they had become a significant family group within the tribe of Zebulun. The text does not provide any additional details about Elon's life, his role as a clan leader, or the specific history of the Elonites. His inclusion in the genealogies serves to establish the family structure and the development of the tribe of Zebulun from the time of Jacob to the formation of the Israelite nation. ========== PERSON(s) Elon@Jdg.12.11-=H0356J Judge living before Israel's Monarchy + > #A Judge living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Jdg.12.11;

He judged Israel for a period of ten years (Jdg.12.11). The text provides minimal information about Elon's life and his role as a judge. It is mentioned that he was from the tribe of Zebulun, indicating his tribal affiliation. The judges in Israel were leaders who served as military commanders, deliverers, and administrators of justice during the period between the conquest of Canaan and the establishment of the monarchy. Elon's ten-year tenure suggests a period of relative stability and peace during his leadership. After his death, Elon was buried in Aijalon, within the territory of Zebulun (Jdg.12.12). The brevity of the account of Elon's judgeship may indicate that his rule was less eventful compared to some of the other judges mentioned in the book. Nonetheless, his inclusion in the list of judges highlights the continuity of leadership and the role of the tribe of Zebulun in the governance of Israel during this period. ========== PERSON(s) Elpaal@1Ch.8.11-=H0508 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shaharaim@1Ch.8.8 + Hushim@1Ch.8.8- Jobab@1Ch.8.9, Zibia@1Ch.8.9, Mesha@1Ch.8.9, Malcam@1Ch.8.9, Jeuz@1Ch.8.10, Sachia@1Ch.8.10, Mirmah@1Ch.8.10, Abitub@1Ch.8.11 Eber@1Ch.8.12, Misham@1Ch.8.12, Shemed@1Ch.8.12, Beriah@1Ch.8.13-, Shema@1Ch.8.13, Zebadiah@1Ch.8.17, Meshullam@1Ch.8.17, Hizki@1Ch.8.17, Heber@1Ch.8.17, Ishmerai@1Ch.8.18, Izliah@1Ch.8.18, Jobab@1Ch.8.18 Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.8.11;

Elpaal had two wives, Hushim and Baara, and several children (1Ch.8.11). He is credited with building the towns of Ono and Lod, along with their surrounding villages (1Ch.8.12). This suggests that Elpaal was a prominent figure in the Benjamite community and played a significant role in the expansion and development of their territory. The genealogy also mentions that Elpaal and his brothers were heads of families living in Jerusalem (1Ch.8.18), indicating their leadership roles within the tribe.

Elzabad and his brothers are described as capable men with the strength to perform service, indicating their fitness for their role as gatekeepers. Gatekeepers were responsible for guarding the entrances to the temple, maintaining order, and ensuring that only authorized individuals entered the sacred precincts. The mention of Elzabad and his brothers suggests that gatekeeper duties were often assigned to families or clans, with multiple generations serving together. No further information is provided about Elzabad's specific responsibilities or his later life.

They are described as a tall and numerous people, comparable to the Anakim, another group known for their great height (Deu.2.11). The Emim were one of the groups defeated by Chedorlaomer, the king of Elam, and his allies during a military campaign in the region (Gen.14.5). This event took place during the time of Abraham, indicating the antiquity of the Emim as a people group. The Bible does not provide much additional information about the Emim's culture, language, or specific territory. Their mention in the context of the Moabites and the Anakim suggests that they were a formidable and well-established people in the region before being displaced or assimilated by later groups.

Enan's name appears multiple times in the book of Numbers in connection with his son's leadership role. In the census of the Israelites taken in the wilderness of Sinai, Ahira son of Enan is listed as the leader of the tribe of Naphtali (Num.1.15). The tribe of Naphtali, under Ahira's leadership, was positioned on the north side of the tabernacle, along with the tribes of Dan and Asher (Num.2.29). During the dedication of the tabernacle, Ahira son of Enan brought the offering for the tribe of Naphtali on the twelfth day (Num.7.78,83). Later, when the Israelites set out from the wilderness of Sinai, the tribe of Naphtali, led by Ahira, was assigned to march last, along with the tribes of Dan and Asher (Num.10.27). Although Enan himself is not mentioned in any other context, his repeated mention as the father of Ahira highlights the significance of family lineage in the leadership structure of the Israelite tribes during their wilderness journey. ========== PERSON(s) Enoch@Gen.4.17-=H2585G Man living at the time before the Flood Cain@Gen.4.1-Jud + Irad@Gen.4.18 Early Patriarch #A man living at the time before the Flood, first mentioned at Gen.4.17;

He was born after Cain had been banished by God for killing his brother Abel. The text states that Cain built a city and named it after his son Enoch, which is the first mention of a city in the Bible (Gen.4.17). The naming of the city after Enoch suggests that Cain had high hopes for his son and wanted to establish a lasting legacy through him. However, no further details are provided about Enoch's life, his role in the city, or his descendants. The genealogy continues with Enoch's son, Irad, but the focus shifts away from Enoch himself (Gen.4.18).

He is described as a man who walked with God, indicating his close relationship and faithfulness to the Creator (Gen.5.22,24). Enoch's life is characterized by his exceptional piety and devotion, which sets him apart from the other individuals in the genealogy. The text states that Enoch lived a total of 365 years (Gen.5.23), which is notably shorter than the lifespans of the other patriarchs mentioned in the genealogy. The most remarkable aspect of Enoch's life is that he did not experience death; instead, God took him directly into His presence (Gen.5.24). This event is later referenced in the New Testament as an example of faith and divine favor (Heb.11.5). Enoch is also mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, linking him to the Messianic lineage (Luk.3.37). In the book of Jude, Enoch is described as a prophet who spoke about the judgment of the ungodly (Jud.1.14), indicating that he had a role in proclaiming God's message to his generation. Enoch's life serves as an example of a faithful servant of God who maintained a close relationship with Him in the midst of a world that was increasingly distant from the Creator. ========== PERSON(s) Enosh@Gen.4.26-Luk=H0583 Man living at the time before the Flood Seth@Gen.4.25-Luk + Kenan@Gen.5.9-Luk Early Patriarch #A man living at the time before the Flood, first mentioned at Gen.4.26;

He was born when Seth was 105 years old and lived a total of 905 years (Gen.5.6,11). Enosh's birth is significant because it marks a turning point in human history. The text states that during his time, people began to call upon the name of the Lord (Gen.4.26). This suggests a shift towards the public worship and invocation of God's name, possibly in response to the increasing wickedness and violence in the world. The beginning of this religious practice is attributed to the time of Enosh, highlighting his influence and the importance of his generation in the development of faith. Enosh's long life is consistent with the extended lifespans of the pre-flood patriarchs, and his descendants continued the righteous lineage (Gen.5.9,10). He is also mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, connecting him to the Messianic line (Luk.3.38). Enosh's legacy lies in the establishment of public worship and the recognition of the need for a relationship with God in the face of a fallen world. ========== PERSON(s) Epaenetus@Rom.16.5=G1866 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Rom.16.5;

Asia, in this context, likely refers to the Roman province of Asia, which is located in modern-day Turkey. Being the first convert suggests that Epaenetus was among the earliest believers in that region and played a significant role in the establishment of the church there. Paul's affectionate description of Epaenetus as "my beloved" indicates a close personal relationship between them, possibly forged through shared experiences in ministry. The mention of Epaenetus in Paul's greetings to the Roman church suggests that he may have been known to the believers in Rome, either through his reputation or personal contact. No further details are provided about Epaenetus's life, his specific role in the church, or his later activities.

He is described as a faithful minister of Christ and a fellow servant of Paul (Col.1.7). Epaphras was likely a native of Colossae and played a significant role in the establishment and growth of the church there. He is credited with sharing the gospel with the Colossians and nurturing their faith (Col.1.7). Epaphras's deep concern for the spiritual well-being of the Colossian believers is evident in his fervent prayers on their behalf. Paul mentions that Epaphras was always laboring earnestly for them in his prayers, desiring that they would stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God (Col.4.12). This highlights Epaphras's dedication to the spiritual growth and maturity of the church. In the letter to Philemon, Paul refers to Epaphras as his fellow prisoner (Phm.1.23), indicating that Epaphras had faced imprisonment for his faith, possibly alongside Paul. This shared experience of suffering for the gospel further strengthens the bond between them. Epaphras's ministry extended beyond Colossae, as Paul also mentions his labors in the nearby cities of Laodicea and Hierapolis (Col.4.13). Epaphras's life exemplifies the commitment, sacrifice, and pastoral care of early Christian leaders who tirelessly served the church and advanced the gospel message. ========== PERSON(s) Epaphroditus@Php.2.25-=G1891 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Php.2.25;

He is described as a beloved brother, fellow worker, and fellow soldier (Php.2.25), indicating his significant role in the ministry and his strong relationship with Paul. Epaphroditus was sent by the Philippian church to deliver a gift to Paul and to minister to his needs while he was in prison (Php.4.18). This demonstrates the love and support of the Philippian believers towards Paul and their commitment to partnering with him in the gospel ministry. During his time with Paul, Epaphroditus became ill and nearly died (Php.2.26,27). This caused great concern and sorrow among the Philippians, who held him in high regard. However, God had mercy on him, and he recovered (Php.2.27). Paul commended Epaphroditus for his sacrificial service and urged the Philippians to receive him with joy and honor (Php.2.29). Epaphroditus's willingness to risk his life for the work of Christ and his dedication to serving Paul and the church make him an exemplary figure in the early Christian community. His story highlights the close bonds and mutual support within the body of Christ, even across distances, and the sacrificial nature of Christian service. ========== PERSON(s) Ephah@1Ch.2.46=H5891H Woman living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Caleb@1Ch.2.9- Haran@1Ch.2.46, Moza@1Ch.2.46, Gazez@1Ch.2.46a Tribe of Judah(?) #A concubine from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.2.46;

He and his older brother Manasseh were adopted by Israel (or 'Jacob') and blessed, with Ephraim receiving the greater blessing (Gen.48). Ephraim's descendants formed one of the twelve tribes of Israel, and they were often grouped with the tribe of Manasseh under the collective name "Joseph" (Num.1.32,33; 26.28,35,37). ¶The tribe of Ephraim settled in the central region of Canaan (Jos.16.4,5,8,9,10) and played a significant role throughout Israel's history. They were known for their military prowess (Jdg.5.14; Psa.78.9) and produced several notable leaders, including Joshua (Num.13.8), Abdon (Jdg.12.15), and Samuel (1Sa.1.1). However, they also exhibited pride and a rebellious spirit at times (Jdg.8.1,2; 12.1; 2Sa.20.21). ¶Ephraim, along with the other northern tribes, separated from Judah after Solomon's reign and formed the northern kingdom of Israel (1Ki.12.25). The prophets often addressed Ephraim, warning them of judgment for their idolatry and unfaithfulness (Isa.7.2,5,8,9; Jer.31.18,20; Hos.4.17; 5). However, there were also promises of restoration and blessing (Jer.31.6,9; Ezk.37.16,19). ¶In the New Testament, Ephraim is mentioned in the context of Jesus withdrawing to a village called Ephraim before his final entry into Jerusalem (Jdg.12.6; 1Ch.12.30; 27.20; 2Ch.25.7; Psa.78.9; 2Ch.13.19; 1Ki.11.26; 1Sa.1.1). ========== PERSON(s) Ephrathah@Rut.1.2-1Ch=H0672G Woman living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness + Hezron@Gen.46.12-Luk, Caleb@1Ch.2.9- Hur@Exo.17.10-2Ch, Ram@Rut.4.19-Luk Tribe of Judah(?) #A woman from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at 1Ch.2.19;

In several passages, Bethlehem is referred to as "Bethlehem Ephrathah" (Rut.1.2; 1Sa.17.12">Rut.1.2; 1Sa.17.12), indicating that Ephrathah was either an alternate name for the city or a region encompassing it. ¶The name Ephrathah is also mentioned in the genealogies of Judah in connection with Caleb, a prominent figure in the tribe. Ephrathah is listed as the wife of Caleb (1Ch.2.19), and their descendants, including Hur and Salma, are associated with the founding or settlement of Bethlehem (1Ch.2.50; 4.4). ¶The dual usage of the name Ephrathah suggests a possible link between the person and the place, although the exact nature of this connection is not explicitly stated in the Bible. The association of Ephrathah with Bethlehem highlights the significance of this city in Israel's history, as it was the birthplace of key figures like David and Jesus. ========== PERSON(s) Ephron@Gen.23.8-=H6085G Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Zohar@Gen.23.8- + > #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.23.8;

He owned a field containing the cave of Machpelah, which Abraham sought to purchase as a burial place for his wife Sarah (Gen.23). ¶When Sarah died, Abraham approached the Hittites and requested to buy a burial site. Ephron was present at the meeting and offered to give the field and the cave to Abraham as a gift (Gen.23.8-11). However, Abraham insisted on paying the full price, and Ephron named a price of 400 shekels of silver (Gen.23.14-15). ¶Abraham agreed to the price and paid Ephron in the presence of witnesses, securing the field and the cave as a permanent possession for burial (Gen.23.16-20). The cave of Machpelah later became the burial place for Abraham himself, as well as Isaac, Rebekah, Israel (or 'Jacob'), and Leah (Gen.25.9; 49.29,30; 50.13). ¶Ephron's interaction with Abraham demonstrates the legal and social customs of property transactions in the ancient Near East. It also highlights Abraham's desire to establish a permanent burial place for his family in the land of Canaan, foreshadowing the future possession of the land by his descendants. ========== PERSON(s) Er@1Ch.4.21=H6147H Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Shelah@Gen.38.5-1Ch + Laadah@1Ch.4.21, Jokim@1Ch.4.22, Joash@1Ch.4.22, Saraph@1Ch.4.22 Lecah@1Ch.4.21 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at 1Ch.4.21;

He married Tamar, but the Lord put him to death because of his wickedness (Gen. 38:6-7). The nature of his wickedness is not specified in the text. ¶After Er's death, Judah instructed his second son, Onan, to marry Tamar and produce offspring for his deceased brother, a practice known as levirate marriage (Gen. 38:8). However, Onan also displeased the Lord and was put to death (Gen. 38:9-10). ¶Er is mentioned again in the genealogy of Judah (Gen. 46:12; Num. 26:19; 1 Ch. 2:3), which highlights the significance of his lineage despite his early death. His inclusion in these genealogies emphasizes the importance of Judah's descendants, particularly in light of the Messianic promise that would ultimately be fulfilled through this tribe (Gen. 49:10). ========== PERSON(s) Er@Luk.3.28=G2262 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Joshua@Luk.3.29 + Elmadam@Luk.3.28 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Luk.3.28;

The fact that Paul mentions them by name and calls them his co-workers suggests that they were prominent members of the church who had labored alongside him in spreading the gospel (Php.4.3). The disagreement between Euodia and Syntyche was significant enough for Paul to address it directly, emphasizing the importance of unity and harmony within the church. ========== PERSON(s) Eutychus@Act.20.9=G2161 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Act.20.9;

She was formed from one of Adam's ribs and was named "Eve" because she would become the mother of all living (Gen.3.20). Eve was tempted by the serpent to eat the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which God had forbidden (Gen.3.1-6). She ate the fruit and gave some to Adam, resulting in their disobedience and the introduction of sin into the world (Gen.3.6-7). As a consequence, Eve experienced pain in childbirth and a desire for her husband, while Adam had to labor to provide for them (Gen.3.16-19). Despite this, Eve is recognized as the mother of the human race (Gen.4.1). Paul references Eve's deception as a warning against false teachers (2Co.11.3) and notes that Adam was created first, then Eve (1Ti.2.13). ========== PERSON(s) Evi@Num.31.8-Jos=H0189 King living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness + Sinai #A king living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Num.31.8;

As a result, God commanded Moses to take vengeance on the Midianites (Num.31.1-2). Evi and the other Midianite kings were slain in battle, along with Balaam the son of Beor (Num.31.8). The Midianite kings, including Evi, are also mentioned as having been defeated by the Israelites in Jos.13.21, where they are described as "princes of Sihon" and "rulers in the land." ========== PERSON(s) Evil-merodach@2Ki.25.27-Jer=H0192 King living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Mesopotamia #A king in Babylon living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.25.27;

In the 37th year of the exile of Jehoiachin, the former king of Judah, Evil-merodach showed him kindness by releasing him from prison (2Ki.25.27; Jer.52.31). He spoke kindly to Jehoiachin and gave him a seat of honor higher than those of the other kings who were with him in Babylon (2Ki.25.28; Jer.52.32). Evil-merodach also provided Jehoiachin with regular food allowances for the rest of his life (2Ki.25.29-30; Jer.52.33-34).

He was a descendant of Aaron, the first high priest of Israel (Ezr.7.1-5). Ezra was known for his devotion to the study and teaching of the Law of Moses (Ezr.7.6, 10). He led a group of Jewish exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes of Persia (Ezr.7.7-8). Upon arriving in Jerusalem, Ezra discovered that many of the Jews, including priests and Levites, had intermarried with the pagan peoples of the land (Ezr.9.1-2). Ezra prayed and confessed the sins of the people, leading to a spiritual reformation and the dissolution of the mixed marriages (Ezra 10). Ezra also played a significant role in teaching the Law to the people and leading them in a covenant renewal ceremony (Nehemiah 8). He worked closely with Nehemiah, the governor of Judah, in rebuilding Jerusalem and restoring the spiritual life of the Jewish community (Neh.12.26, 36). ========== PERSON(s) Ezra@Neh.12.1-=H5830H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Neh.12.1;

He was among the first group of exiles to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple and the city (Ezr.2.1-2). Ezra is listed as the head of a priestly family (Neh.12.13), indicating his leadership role within the priestly community. He also participated in the dedication of Jerusalem's wall, where he led one of the two processions of thanksgiving on top of the wall (Neh.12.33).

She was a descendant of Aaron, making her a Levite (Luk.1.5). Elizabeth and her husband were described as righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord (Luk.1.6). Despite their righteousness, Elizabeth was barren, and both she and Zechariah were advanced in years (Luk.1.7). An angel appeared to Zechariah and announced that Elizabeth would bear a son, who was to be named John (Luk.1.13). When Elizabeth conceived, she remained in seclusion for five months, praising God for His favor (Luk.1.24-25). During her sixth month of pregnancy, her relative Mary, who was carrying Jesus, visited her (Luk.1.36,39-40). Upon hearing Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in Elizabeth's womb, and she was filled with the Holy Spirit, blessing Mary and her child (Luk.1.41-45). After the birth of John, Elizabeth and Zechariah had him circumcised and named on the eighth day, according to the angel's instructions (Luk.1.59-63).

His name is not given, but he is described as a Greek man. Timothy's mother, Eunice, was a Jewish woman who believed in Jesus Christ. This mixed-race background may have contributed to Timothy's ability to relate to both Jewish and Gentile believers in the early church.

He is mentioned in the book of Acts in connection with the apostle Paul's imprisonment and trial. Paul was brought before Felix in Caesarea after being accused by the Jewish leaders of being a troublemaker and inciting riots (Act.23.24, 26). During the hearing, Paul defended himself against the charges and spoke about his faith in Christ (Act.24.10-21). Felix, who was well-informed about Christianity, postponed making a decision and kept Paul in custody, hoping to receive a bribe from him (Act.24.22-26). Felix also heard Paul speak about righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment, which caused him to be afraid (Act.24.25). However, Felix left Paul in prison for two years until his successor, Porcius Festus, took office (Act.24.27). The account of Paul's interaction with Felix highlights the challenges faced by early Christians in the face of Roman authority and the corruption within the judicial system. ========== PERSON(s) Festus@Act.24.27-=G5347 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.24.27;

He is mentioned in the book of Acts in relation to the apostle Paul's ongoing legal case. Upon taking office, Festus was confronted with the charges against Paul that had been left unresolved by Felix (Act.25.1-2). Festus, wanting to do the Jews a favor, asked Paul if he would be willing to go to Jerusalem for trial, but Paul appealed to Caesar, asserting his rights as a Roman citizen (Act.25.9-12). Festus, unsure how to handle the case, consulted with King Agrippa II and his sister Bernice, who came to Caesarea to pay their respects to the new governor (Act.25.13-22). Paul was brought before Festus, Agrippa, and Bernice to present his defense (Act.25.23-26:32). After hearing Paul's testimony, Festus exclaimed that Paul's great learning had driven him insane (Act.26.24). Agrippa, however, believed that Paul could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar (Act.26.32). Festus then sent Paul to Rome for trial, as he had requested (Act.27.1). The account of Festus's involvement in Paul's case illustrates the complexities of the Roman legal system and the challenges faced by early Christians in navigating it. ========== PERSON(s) Fortunatus@1Co.16.17-=G5415 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at 1Co.16.17;

This suggests that they brought news, encouragement, and possibly financial support from Corinth to Paul.

After Abimelech had ruled Shechem for three years, Gaal arrived in the city and gained the trust of the people (Jdg.9.26-29). He challenged Abimelech's authority and encouraged the people to follow him instead. When Abimelech was informed of Gaal's actions, he devised a plan to attack the city (Jdg.9.30-33). Gaal and his followers went out to fight against Abimelech but were defeated and driven out of Shechem (Jdg.9.34-41). Abimelech then destroyed the city and scattered salt over it, symbolizing its complete destruction (Jdg.9.45). The story of Gaal's failed revolt illustrates the internal conflicts and power struggles that occurred during the period of the judges in Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Gabbai@Neh.11.8=H1373 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.11.8;

He first appears in 1Sa.22.5, where he advises David to leave his stronghold in Moab and return to the land of Judah. Gad played a significant role in the events surrounding David's census of Israel (2 Samuel 24; 1 Chronicles 21). After David had sinned by taking the census, Gad was sent by God to offer David a choice of three punishments: three years of famine, three months of fleeing from enemies, or three days of plague (2Sa.24.11-14; 1Ch.21.9-13). David chose the plague, and Gad instructed him to build an altar on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite to stop the plague (2Sa.24.18-19; 1Ch.21.18-19). Gad is described as David's seer (2Sa.24.11; 1Ch.21.9) and is credited with writing a book about David's acts (1Ch.29.29). He was also involved in organizing the music and worship in the tabernacle (2Ch.29.25). Gad's ministry as a prophet spanned the latter years of David's reign and continued into the early years of Solomon's reign. ========== PERSON(s) Gad@Gen.30.11-Rev=H1410G Jacob's son living at the time of the Patriarchs Israel@Gen.25.26-Rev + Zilpah@Gen.29.24- Reuben@Gen.29.32-Rev, Simeon@Gen.29.33-Rev, Levi@Gen.29.34-Rev, Judah@Gen.29.35-Rev, Dan@Gen.30.6-1Ch, Naphtali@Gen.30.8-Rev, Asher@Gen.30.13-Rev, Issachar@Gen.30.18-Rev, Zebulun@Gen.30.20-Rev, Dinah@Gen.30.21-, Joseph@Gen.30.24-Rev, Benjamin@Gen.35.18-Rev Ziphion@Gen.46.16-Num, Haggi@Gen.46.16-Num, Shuni@Gen.46.16-Num, Ezbon@Gen.46.16-Num, Eri@Gen.46.16-Num, Arod@Gen.46.16-Num, Areli@Gen.46.16-Num Tribe of Gad #A man who founded the tribe of Gad living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.30.11;

The tribe of Gad played a significant role throughout Israel's history. During the Exodus, the tribe of Gad was counted among the Israelites (Num.1.14, 24-25) and was positioned on the south side of the tabernacle, along with the tribes of Reuben and Simeon (Num.2.14). The tribe of Gad, along with Reuben and half of Manasseh, settled in the region east of the Jordan River (Numbers 32; Jos.13.24-28). They were known for their military prowess and bravery (1Ch.12.8, 14). The Gadites were among the first to help David when he was hiding from Saul (1Ch.12.8-15). They also supported David during the census and the purchase of the threshing floor for the temple (2Sa.24.5; 1Ch.21.2). The Gadites were blessed by Moses for their faithfulness and strength (Deu.33.20-21). The tribe of Gad was allotted cities and pasturelands in the region of Gilead (Jos.13.24-28; 1Ch.6.63, 80). They, along with the other tribes east of the Jordan, built an altar as a witness to their unity with the rest of Israel (Joshua 22). The Gadites were among the first tribes to be taken into captivity by the Assyrians (1Ch.5.26). In Ezekiel's vision of the restored Israel, the tribe of Gad is allotted a portion of land in the far north (Ezk.48.27-28, 34). In the book of Revelation, Gad is mentioned as one of the tribes with 12,000 sealed servants of God (Rev.7.5). ========== PERSON(s) Gaddi@Num.13.11=H1426 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Susi@Num.13.11 + > #A man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Num.13.11;

The Nethinim were a class of temple personnel who assisted the Levites in the maintenance and service of the temple (Ezr.8.20). They were likely descendants of the Gibeonites who were assigned by Joshua to serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the altar of the Lord (Jos.9.23, 27). In the lists of the exiles who returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel (Ezra 2) and Nehemiah (Nehemiah 7), the descendants of Gahar are counted among the Nethinim. This suggests that Gahar's descendants had faithfully carried out their duties in the temple service, even during the exile, and were part of the group who returned to restore worship in Jerusalem. ========== PERSON(s) Gaius@3Jn.1.1=G1050J Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at 3Jn.1.1;

John addresses Gaius as a dear friend whom he loves in the truth (3Jn.1.1). He expresses his joy upon hearing that Gaius is walking in the truth and supporting the work of the gospel (3Jn.1.3-4). John specifically praises Gaius for his hospitality towards traveling missionaries, even though they were strangers to him (3Jn.1.5-8). This hospitality was essential for the spread of the gospel, as these missionaries relied on the support of believers like Gaius. John also mentions a certain Diotrephes who was causing problems in the church and refusing to welcome the missionaries (3Jn.1.9-10). In contrast, John encourages Gaius to continue doing what is good and not to imitate what is evil (3Jn.1.11). The letter to Gaius provides insight into the challenges and importance of hospitality and support within the early Christian community. ========== PERSON(s) Gaius@Act.19.29=G1050G Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Act.19.29;

The riot was instigated by Demetrius, a silversmith who made shrines of Artemis, because he felt threatened by Paul's preaching and the spread of Christianity in the city. The mob dragged Gaius and Aristarchus into the theater, but Paul was prevented from entering by his disciples and some officials of the province of Asia who were his friends.

In 1 Corinthians, Paul mentions that he personally baptized Gaius, along with Crispus and the household of Stephanas. This indicates that Gaius was one of the early converts in Corinth and had a close relationship with Paul. Gaius' example of hospitality and support for the church was crucial for the growth and unity of the early Christian community. ========== PERSON(s) Galal@1Ch.9.15=H1559G Levite living at the time of Exile and Return + Tribe of Levi #A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at 1Ch.9.15;

He was a descendant of Asaph, one of the chief musicians appointed by David to lead worship in the temple (1Ch.6.39). Galal's inclusion in this list suggests that he, like his ancestor Asaph, was a skilled musician who served in the temple. The Levites were responsible for various duties in the temple, including music, singing, and assisting the priests (1Ch.23.28-32). The mention of Galal and other Levites living in Jerusalem after the exile demonstrates the importance of restoring worship and maintaining the temple services as the Jewish community rebuilt their lives in the land. ========== PERSON(s) Galal@1Ch.9.16-Neh=H1559H Levite living at the time of Exile and Return Jeduthun@1Ch.9.16-Neh + Shemaiah@1Ch.9.16-Neh Tribe of Levi #A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at 1Ch.9.16;

He was a descendant of Jeduthun, one of the three chief musicians appointed by David to lead worship in the temple (1Ch.25.1, 6). Galal's inclusion in these lists suggests that he, like his ancestor Jeduthun, was a skilled musician who served in the temple. In Neh.11.17, Galal is described as assisting in the temple service, likely in a musical capacity. The Levites were responsible for various duties in the temple, including music, singing, and assisting the priests (1Ch.23.28-32). The mention of Galal and other Levites living in Jerusalem after the exile demonstrates the importance of restoring worship and maintaining the temple services as the Jewish community rebuilt their lives in the land. ========== PERSON(s) Gallio@Act.18.12-=G1058 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.18.12;

When the Jews brought charges against Paul, accusing him of persuading people to worship God in ways contrary to the law, Gallio refused to hear the case. He dismissed the charges, stating that he would not get involved in matters of Jewish law and that the Jews should settle the issue among themselves (Act.18.14-16). Gallio's refusal to judge Paul allowed the apostle to continue his ministry in Corinth unhindered. The incident also demonstrates the Roman authorities' general tolerance of early Christian preaching, as long as it did not disturb public order or challenge Roman rule. Gallio's tenure as proconsul of Achaia helps to date Paul's time in Corinth to around 51-52 AD. ========== PERSON(s) Gamaliel@Act.5.34-=G1059 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.5.34;

He is mentioned twice in the book of Acts. In Act.5.34-40, Gamaliel appears as a member of the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council. When the apostles were brought before the council and some members wanted to put them to death, Gamaliel advised caution. He argued that if the apostles' teaching was of human origin, it would fail on its own, but if it was from God, the council would be fighting against God. The Sanhedrin followed Gamaliel's advice and released the apostles after beating them and ordering them not to speak in Jesus' name. In Act.22.3, Paul identifies himself as a student of Gamaliel, having been educated under him in strict adherence to the law. This suggests that Gamaliel was a highly influential teacher whose students went on to hold significant positions in Jewish society. Gamaliel's wisdom and moderation in dealing with the early Christians may have influenced Paul's later approach to engaging with different groups in his missionary work. ========== PERSON(s) Gamaliel@Num.1.10-=H1583 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Pedahzur@Num.1.10- + Tribe of Manasseh #A man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Num.1.10;

He is mentioned several times in the book of Numbers. In Num.1.10, Gamaliel is listed as the leader of Manasseh in the census taken at the beginning of the second year after the Exodus. The tribe of Manasseh, under Gamaliel's leadership, was counted as part of the larger Israelite community (Num.1.34-35). In the arrangement of the Israelite camp, Gamaliel and the tribe of Manasseh were positioned on the west side of the tabernacle, along with the tribes of Ephraim and Benjamin (Num.2.20). Gamaliel also had a role in the offerings presented at the dedication of the tabernacle. He brought his offering on the eighth day, which included various animals and vessels for the tabernacle service (Num.7.54-59). When the Israelites set out from Mount Sinai, Gamaliel and the tribe of Manasseh marched under their standard, as directed by God (Num.10.23). These references to Gamaliel highlight his leadership role and the importance of the tribe of Manasseh in the organization and journey of the Israelites through the wilderness. ========== PERSON(s) Gamul@1Ch.24.17=H1577 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.24.17;

David, along with Zadok and Ahimelech, organized the priests into twenty-four divisions to ensure a systematic and orderly service in the tabernacle (and later the temple). Each division was responsible for serving for a specific period, and the order was determined by casting lots (1Ch.24.1-19). Gamul's division would have been responsible for a week of service twice a year, as well as during the major festivals. The organization of the priestly divisions was an important step in establishing a structured and efficient system for worship and sacrifice in ancient Israel. Although no further details are provided about Gamul himself, his inclusion in this list highlights the significance of the priestly role in maintaining the spiritual life of the nation. ========== PERSON(s) Gareb@2Sa.23.38-1Ch=H1619G Warrior living at the time of United Monarchy + > #A warrior living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.23.38;

The mighty warriors were a group of thirty-seven men who were known for their exceptional military skills and bravery. They played a significant role in establishing and defending David's kingdom. Gareb is specifically identified as an Ithrite, which suggests he belonged to the clan of Jether, a descendant of Kiriath-jearim (1Ch.2.53). No further details are provided about Gareb's specific exploits or his role in David's military campaigns.

This suggests that the Garmites were a family or clan within the tribe of Judah, associated with the city of Keilah. However, no further information is provided about the Garmites, their history, or their role within the tribe. The brief mention of the Garmites in the genealogical record of Judah highlights the complexity and diversity of the Israelite tribal system and the importance of family and clan affiliations in ancient Israelite society. @Ambiguity=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WI5gOd0O-wfPf5rjuRPW5yhxNFoedx2fssmgOQGYj7o/edit?tab=t.0#bookmark=id.5zbixiau7nob ========== PERSON(s) Gatam@Gen.36.11-1Ch=H1609 Edomite living at the time of the Patriarchs Eliphaz@Gen.36.4-1Ch + a_wife_of_Eliphaz@Gen.36.11-1Ch Teman@Gen.36.11-Job, Omar@Gen.36.11-1Ch, Zepho@Gen.36.11-1Ch, Kenaz@Gen.36.11-1Ch, Amalek@Gen.36.12-, Korah@Gen.36.16 Edom #A man of the Edomites living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.36.11;

Esau, also known as Edom, was the twin brother of Israel (or 'Jacob') and the ancestor of the Edomites (Gen.25.30; 36.1). Gatam is listed among the chiefs of Edom, indicating that he held a position of authority and leadership within the Edomite tribal structure (Gen.36.16). The Edomites were the descendants of Esau who settled in the region of Seir, south of the Dead Sea (Gen.36.8-9). They became a significant political and military power in the region, often in conflict with the Israelites (Num.20.14-21; 1Sa.14.47; 2Sa.8.13-14). The mention of Gatam and the other chiefs of Edom in the genealogical records emphasizes the importance of family lineage and tribal organization in the ancient Near East. ========== PERSON(s) Gazez@1Ch.2.46a=H1495G Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Caleb@1Ch.2.9- + Ephah@1Ch.2.46 Hur@Exo.17.10-2Ch, Jesher@1Ch.2.18, Shobab@1Ch.2.18, Ardon@1Ch.2.18, Mesha@1Ch.2.42, Haran@1Ch.2.46, Moza@1Ch.2.46, Sheber@1Ch.2.48, Tirhanah@1Ch.2.48, Regem@1Ch.2.47, Jotham@1Ch.2.47, Geshan@1Ch.2.47, Pelet@1Ch.2.47, Ephah@1Ch.2.47, Shaaph@1Ch.2.47, Shaaph@1Ch.2.49, Sheva@1Ch.2.49, Achsah@1Ch.2.49 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at 1Ch.2.46a;

This Gazez is distinguished from the Gazez who was the son of Haran, Caleb's grandson. The passage states that Ephah, Caleb's concubine, bore him three sons: Haran, Moza, and Gazez. It then clarifies that Haran was the father of the previously mentioned Gazez. This suggests that Caleb named one of his own sons after his grandson. The practice of concubinage, as seen in this passage, was common in ancient Israelite society, particularly among wealthy and influential men like Caleb. The sons born to concubines were considered legitimate heirs, although they may have had a lower status compared to the sons of the primary wife. The mention of Gazez and his brothers in the genealogical record of Judah emphasizes the importance of family lineage and the complex family structures that existed in ancient Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Gazez@1Ch.2.46b=H1495H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Haran@1Ch.2.46 + Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.2.46b;

The Nethinim were a class of temple personnel who assisted the Levites in the maintenance and service of the temple (Ezr.8.20). They were likely descendants of the Gibeonites who were assigned by Joshua to serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the altar of the Lord (Jos.9.23, 27). In the lists of the exiles who returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel (Ezra 2) and Nehemiah (Nehemiah 7), the descendants of Gazzam are counted among the Nethinim. This suggests that Gazzam's descendants had faithfully carried out their duties in the temple service, even during the exile, and were part of the group who returned to restore worship in Jerusalem. ========== PERSON(s) Geber@1Ki.4.19=H1398 Man living at the time of United Monarchy Uri@1Ki.4.19 + Ben-Geber@1Ki.4.13 > #A man living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ki.4.19;

Solomon divided his kingdom into twelve districts, each governed by an appointed official. These governors were responsible for providing food for the royal household, each for one month of the year (1Ki.4.7). Geber was assigned the district of Gilead, which included the territories of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan (1Ki.4.19). These territories were located east of the Jordan River and were known for their fertile lands and abundant livestock (Num.32.1-5). Geber's appointment as governor of this region highlights Solomon's effective administration and the prosperity of his kingdom. The system of district governors ensured a steady supply of resources for the royal court and demonstrated Solomon's wisdom in managing his realm. ========== PERSON(s) Gedaliah@1Ch.25.3-=H1436I Levite living at the time of United Monarchy Jeduthun@1Ch.6.44-Psa + Obed-edom@2Sa.6.10-2Ch, Mattithiah@1Ch.15.18-, Zeri@1Ch.25.3-, Jeshaiah@1Ch.25.3-, Hashabiah@1Ch.25.3- Tribe of Levi #A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.25.3;

However, Ishmael, a member of the royal family, conspired against Gedaliah and assassinated him along with the Babylonian officials and Jews who were with him (2Ki.25.25; Jer.41.1-3). This act of treachery led to the flight of the remaining Jews to Egypt, fearing Babylonian reprisals (2Ki.25.26; Jer.41.16-18; 43.5-7). Gedaliah's assassination marked the end of Jewish self-rule in the land and the beginning of the Babylonian exile. The prophet Jeremiah, who had been released from prison by the Babylonians and entrusted to Gedaliah's care (Jer.39.14; 40.5-6), witnessed these tragic events and mourned the loss of Gedaliah and the fate of his people (Jer.41.4-6). ========== PERSON(s) Gedaliah@Ezr.10.18=H1436A Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.10.18;

After the return from exile, Ezra, a scribe and priest, led a reform movement to address the issue of intermarriage between the Israelites and the surrounding nations (Ezr.9.1-2). Ezra called for a assembly of all the returned exiles in Jerusalem, where he confronted them about their unfaithfulness and urged them to separate themselves from the foreign wives (Ezr.10.10-11). Gedaliah, along with several other priests, was found guilty of this offense (Ezr.10.18). In response to Ezra's call for repentance, Gedaliah and the others pledged to put away their foreign wives and offered a ram from the flock as a guilt offering (Ezr.10.19). This incident highlights the importance of maintaining religious and ethnic purity among the Israelites, especially for the priests who were responsible for leading the people in worship and obedience to God's law. ========== PERSON(s) Gedaliah@Jer.38.1=H1436J Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Pashhur@Jer.38.1 + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Jer.38.1;

Jeremiah had been prophesying that the Babylonians would conquer Jerusalem and that those who surrendered to them would live, while those who remained in the city would die (Jer.38.2-3). Gedaliah, along with other officials named Jucal, Shephatiah, and Pashhur, reported Jeremiah's words to King Zedekiah and urged the king to put Jeremiah to death, accusing him of discouraging the soldiers and the people (Jer.38.4). Zedekiah handed Jeremiah over to the officials, who lowered him into a cistern, where he sank into the mud (Jer.38.5-6). However, Ebed-Melech, an Ethiopian eunuch, rescued Jeremiah with the king's permission (Jer.38.7-13). Gedaliah's opposition to Jeremiah reflects the political and religious tensions in Jerusalem during the Babylonian siege and the prophet's unpopular message of surrender. ========== PERSON(s) Gedaliah@Zep.1.1=H1436H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Amariah@Zep.1.1 + Cushi@Zep.1.1 > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Zep.1.1;

Zephaniah's genealogy is traced back four generations to Hezekiah, who was likely the king of Judah known for his religious reforms (2 Kings 18-20; 2 Chronicles 29-32). This suggests that Zephaniah came from a prominent family with royal connections. Gedaliah, as Zephaniah's grandfather, would have lived during the reigns of the kings of Judah preceding Josiah, possibly during the time of Manasseh or Amon. No further information is provided about Gedaliah's life or his role in the history of Judah. However, his inclusion in Zephaniah's genealogy serves to establish the prophet's lineage and lend authority to his prophetic ministry. Zephaniah prophesied during the reign of King Josiah (640-609 BC) and called for repentance and renewal in the face of impending judgment (Zep.1.4-6; 2.1-3). His message played a significant role in the religious reforms initiated by Josiah (2 Kings 22-23). ========== PERSON(s) Gedor@1Ch.8.31-=H1446I Man living at the time of United Monarchy Abiel@1Sa.9.1-1Ch + Maacah@1Ch.8.29- Kish@1Sa.9.1-Act, Ner@1Sa.14.50-1Ch, Abdon@1Ch.8.30-, Zur@1Ch.8.30-, Baal@1Ch.8.30-, Nadab@1Ch.8.30-, Ahio@1Ch.8.31-, Zecher@1Ch.8.31-, Mikloth@1Ch.8.32- Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.8.31;

Gibeon was a Levitical city located in the territory of Benjamin (Jos.21.17). The genealogies in 1 Chronicles 8 and 9 trace the lineage of King Saul, who was from the tribe of Benjamin. Gedor is listed among Jeiel's sons, along with Abdon, Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab, Zechariah, and Mikloth (1Ch.8.30-31; 9.36-37). These genealogies demonstrate Saul's Benjamite heritage and his connection to the city of Gibeon.

He first appears in the story of the Shunammite woman, where he is sent by Elisha to lay the prophet's staff on the face of the woman's dead son (2Ki.4.29-31). Later, when Naaman, a Syrian commander, comes to Elisha to be healed of his leprosy, Gehazi witnesses the miracle and Naaman's offer of a reward, which Elisha refuses (2Ki.5.15-16). However, Gehazi, driven by greed, pursues Naaman and deceitfully asks for a talent of silver and two changes of clothing, claiming that Elisha had sent him (2Ki.5.20-24). When confronted by Elisha, Gehazi lies about his actions (2Ki.5.25). As a consequence of his greed and deceit, Elisha declares that Naaman's leprosy will cling to Gehazi and his descendants forever (2Ki.5.26-27). In 2Ki.8.4-5, Gehazi is seen recounting Elisha's great deeds to the king of Israel, suggesting that he may have later repented and served as a witness to Elisha's ministry, despite his past failings. ========== PERSON(s) Gemalli@Num.13.12=H1582 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness + Ammiel@Num.13.12 > #A man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Num.13.12;

The twelve spies, one from each tribe, were chosen to assess the land, its inhabitants, and its resources (Num.13.17-20). Ammiel, son of Gemalli, was the spy selected from the tribe of Dan. The spies returned after forty days with a report of a land flowing with milk and honey, but also inhabited by strong peoples (Num.13.25-28). Ten of the spies, including Ammiel, brought back a discouraging report, emphasizing the challenges of conquering the land (Num.13.31-33). Only Joshua and Caleb, the spies from the tribes of Ephraim and Judah, respectively, gave a positive report and encouraged the people to trust in God's promise (Num.14.6-9). As a result of the people's unbelief and rebellion, God declared that the generation who had witnessed the Exodus would not enter the Promised Land, except for Joshua and Caleb (Num.14.20-35). ========== PERSON(s) Gemariah@Jer.29.3=H1587G Priest living at the time of Divided Monarchy Hilkiah@2Ki.22.4-Jer + Azariah@1Ch.6.13-Ezr Tribe of Levi #A priest from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Jer.29.3;

The letter was written by the prophet Jeremiah and contained a message to the exiles in Babylon, urging them to settle down, build houses, plant gardens, and seek the peace and prosperity of the city where they were living (Jer.29.4-7). Gemariah, along with Elasah the son of Shaphan, was entrusted with delivering this important message. The fact that Zedekiah sent messengers to Nebuchadnezzar suggests that Judah was under Babylonian rule at the time and that the king was attempting to maintain diplomatic relations with the Babylonian empire. Gemariah's role as a messenger indicates that he was a trusted official in Zedekiah's court. ========== PERSON(s) Gemariah@Jer.36.10-=H1587H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shaphan@2Ki.22.3-Jer + Ahikam@2Ki.22.12-Jer, Elasah@Jer.29.3 Micaiah@Jer.36.11- > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at Jer.36.10;

He is first mentioned as the owner of the chamber in the upper court of the temple where Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe, read the prophet's scroll to the people (Jer.36.10). When the officials heard about the scroll, they sent for Baruch to read it to them, and they were alarmed by its content (Jer.36.11-16). The officials, including Gemariah, advised Baruch and Jeremiah to hide while they reported the matter to the king (Jer.36.19). When King Jehoiakim heard the words of the scroll, he cut it with a scribe's knife and burned it in the fire, despite the pleas of Gemariah and some other officials (Jer.36.23-25). Gemariah's opposition to the king's actions demonstrates his respect for the prophetic word and his concern for the consequences of rejecting God's message.

Hadad found favor with Pharaoh, who gave him a house, land, and food, and also arranged for him to marry the sister of Queen Tahpenes (1Ki.11.19). Genubath was born to Hadad and his Egyptian wife, and he was raised in Pharaoh's palace alongside the Pharaoh's own children (1Ki.11.20). This indicates that Hadad and his family were well-respected and had a high status in the Egyptian court.

The name "Gera" is mentioned twice in this verse, which has led some scholars to suggest that "Heglam" may be an alternative name for Gera or a scribal error. The context of this passage is the genealogy of Benjamin, with a focus on the descendants of Ehud. The verse states that Ehud's sons, including Gera (or Heglam), were among those who were carried into exile, likely referring to the Babylonian captivity in the 6th century BC. This detail suggests that Gera (or Heglam) lived during the time of the divided monarchy and witnessed the fall of the southern kingdom of Judah. ========== PERSON(s) Gera@2Sa.16.5-1Ki=H1617H Man living at the time of United Monarchy + Shimei@2Sa.16.5-1Ki > #A man living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.16.5;

When David was fleeing from Jerusalem due to Absalom's revolt, Gera's relative, Shimei, came out and cursed David, throwing stones and dirt at him (2Sa.16.5-8). Shimei accused David of being responsible for the bloodshed in Saul's house and claimed that God was punishing him by giving the kingdom to Absalom. David's servants wanted to kill Shimei for his disrespect, but David refused, believing that God might have sent Shimei to curse him (2Sa.16.9-14). After Absalom's defeat and death, Shimei, along with Gera and a thousand Benjamites, met David at the Jordan River to escort him back to Jerusalem (2Sa.19.16-18). Shimei fell down before David and sought forgiveness for his previous actions. David granted him mercy and promised not to put him to death (2Sa.19.18-23). However, on his deathbed, David instructed his son Solomon to deal with Shimei, considering him guilty of cursing the Lord's anointed (1Ki.2.8-9). Gera's involvement in these events highlights the complex political dynamics within Israel during David's reign and the lingering tensions between the house of David and the supporters of Saul's dynasty. ========== PERSON(s) Gera@Gen.46.21-1Ch=H1617G Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Benjamin@Gen.35.18-Rev + Bela@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Becher@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Ashbel@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Naaman@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Rosh@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Muppim@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Huppim@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Ard@Gen.46.21, Ahiram@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Jediael@1Ch.7.6- Ehud@Jdg.3.15-1Ch Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Gen.46.21;

In Jdg.3.15, Gera is mentioned as an ancestor of Ehud, a left-handed Benjamite who was raised up by God to deliver Israel from the oppression of Eglon, king of Moab. Ehud's successful assassination of Eglon and his leadership in the subsequent battle against the Moabites brought peace to Israel for eighty years (Jdg.3.16-30). In 1Ch.8.5, Gera is again mentioned in the genealogy of Benjamin, confirming his role as a significant figure in the tribe's history.

His name, which means "a stranger there," reflects Moses' feelings of being a foreigner in a strange land. Later, when Moses returned to Egypt to lead the Israelites out of slavery, Gershom and his brother Eliezer were reunited with their father (Exo.18.3-4). As a descendant of Levi, Gershom and his descendants were counted among the Levites and assigned duties in the tabernacle and temple service (1Ch.23.15-16; 26.24). However, one of Gershom's descendants, Jonathan, became involved in idolatrous worship. According to Jdg.18.30, Jonathan and his sons served as priests for the tribe of Dan, who had set up a graven image and a shrine. This incident highlights the spiritual decline among some of the Levites and the Israelites during the period of the judges. Despite this unfaithful descendant, Gershom's lineage remained significant within the Levitical priesthood, as evidenced by the mention of his descendants in the genealogies of Chronicles. @Ambiguity=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WI5gOd0O-wfPf5rjuRPW5yhxNFoedx2fssmgOQGYj7o/edit?tab=t.0#bookmark=id.3bzvof856pr0 ========== PERSON(s) Gershom@Ezr.8.2=H1647I Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.8.2;

Phinehas was a son of Eleazar and a grandson of Aaron, the first high priest of Israel. As a descendant of Phinehas, Gershom would have been part of the priestly lineage. Ezra, a priest and scribe, led a group of Israelites back to Jerusalem in the 5th century BC, during the reign of the Persian king Artaxerxes. The purpose of this return was to reestablish Jewish worship and law in the land of Judah. The mention of Gershom and other descendants of prominent priestly families joining Ezra's mission highlights the importance of restoring the priesthood and religious practices in post-exilic Judah. ========== PERSON(s) Gershon@Gen.46.11-2Ch=H1648 Levite living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Levi@Gen.29.34-Rev + Kohath@Gen.46.11-2Ch, Merari@Gen.46.11-Ezr, Jochebed@Exo.6.20-Num Libni@Exo.6.17-1Ch, Shimei@Exo.6.17-Zec Tribe of Levi #A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Gen.46.11;

The Gershonites were one of the three main divisions of the Levites, along with the Kohathites and Merarites (Num.3.17; 1Ch.6.1, 16). ¶During the wilderness wanderings, the Gershonites were responsible for the tabernacle curtains, coverings, screens, and related duties (Num.3.25-26; 4.24-28). They were counted in the census of the Levites (Num.3.22; 4.38-41) and were given wagons and oxen to transport their assigned parts of the tabernacle (Num.7.7). ¶In the division of the Promised Land, the Gershonites were allocated thirteen cities across the territories of Issachar, Asher, Naphtali, and eastern Manasseh (Jos.21.6, 27-33; 1Ch.6.62, 71-76). Notable Gershonites include Asaph, a prominent musician and psalmist in King David's court (1Ch.6.39-43), and Jahath, a Levite leader during the reign of King Hezekiah (2Ch.29.12). ¶The Gershonites played a significant role in the transportation, setup, and maintenance of the tabernacle, and later in the music and worship of the temple. Their dedicated service, along with that of the other Levite clans, was essential to the proper functioning of Israel's religious life. ========== PERSON(s) Geshan@1Ch.2.47=H1529 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Caleb@1Ch.2.9- + Jahdai@1Ch.2.47(?)

Geshem, along with Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite, mocked and ridiculed Nehemiah when they learned of his intention to rebuild the city walls (Neh.2.19). Later, when the wall was being built, Geshem and his allies conspired to harm Nehemiah and hinder the work. They invited Nehemiah to meet with them in the plain of Ono, but Nehemiah perceived that they intended to do him harm and declined their invitation (Neh.6.1-2). Geshem and his associates also spread rumors accusing Nehemiah of rebelling against the Persian king and aspiring to become king himself (Neh.6.6-7). Despite these attempts to intimidate and discourage him, Nehemiah remained focused on his mission and relied on God's protection and guidance.

After the Israelites had left Egypt and arrived at the wilderness of Paran, God instructed Moses to send one man from each of the twelve tribes to scout out the Promised Land (Num.13.1-2). These twelve spies were chosen from among the leaders of their respective tribes (Num.13.3). Geuel was selected to represent the tribe of Gad. The spies were tasked with assessing the land, its inhabitants, and its resources (Num.13.17-20). After forty days, they returned with a report of a land flowing with milk and honey, but also inhabited by strong peoples (Num.13.25-28). Ten of the spies, including Geuel, brought back a discouraging report, emphasizing the challenges of conquering the land (Num.13.31-33). Only Joshua and Caleb, the spies from the tribes of Ephraim and Judah, respectively, gave a positive report and encouraged the people to trust in God's promise (Num.14.6-9). As a result of the people's unbelief and rebellion, God declared that the generation who had witnessed the Exodus would not enter the Promised Land, except for Joshua and Caleb (Num.14.20-35). Geuel's role in this incident highlights the importance of faith and obedience in the face of challenges and the consequences of unbelief and disobedience. ========== PERSON(s) Gibea@1Ch.2.49=H1388 Woman or town of the time of Divided Monarchy Sheva@1Ch.2.49 + Machbenah@1Ch.2.49 Tribe of Judah #A woman or town of the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.2.49;

Heman, along with Asaph and Jeduthun, was a chief musician responsible for leading worship in the tabernacle (1Ch.25.1, 6). Giddalti and his brothers were skilled in music and prophecy, using lyres, harps, and cymbals to prophesy and give thanks and praise to the Lord (1Ch.25.3). The musicians were divided into twenty-four groups, each responsible for serving in the temple for a specific period. Giddalti was the head of the twenty-second group (1Ch.25.29). The appointment of Giddalti and his fellow musicians highlights the importance of music and worship in the Israelite religion and the structured organization of temple services during David's reign. ========== PERSON(s) Giddel@Ezr.2.47-Neh=H1435G Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.47;

The Nethinim were a class of temple personnel who assisted the Levites in the maintenance and service of the temple (Ezr.8.20). They were likely descendants of the Gibeonites who were assigned by Joshua to serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the altar of the Lord (Jos.9.23, 27). In the lists of the exiles who returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel (Ezra 2) and Nehemiah (Nehemiah 7), the descendants of Giddel are counted among the Nethinim. This suggests that Giddel's descendants had faithfully carried out their duties in the temple service, even during the exile, and were part of the group who returned to restore worship in Jerusalem. ========== PERSON(s) Giddel@Ezr.2.56-Neh=H1435H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.56;

Solomon's servants were a distinct group of temple personnel, separate from the Levites and the Nethinim (Ezr.2.55, 58; Neh.7.57, 60). They were likely descendants of the Canaanites whom Solomon had conscripted as forced laborers for his building projects, including the construction of the temple (1Ki.9.20-21; 2Ch.8.7-8). In the lists of the exiles who returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel (Ezra 2) and Nehemiah (Nehemiah 7), the descendants of Giddel are counted among Solomon's servants. This suggests that Giddel's descendants had continued to serve in the temple, even during the exile, and were part of the group who returned to restore worship in Jerusalem. The inclusion of Solomon's servants in the lists of returning exiles highlights the diverse composition of the Jewish community and the various roles and lineages represented in the temple service. ========== PERSON(s) Gideon@Jdg.6.11-Heb=H1439 Judge living before Israel's Monarchy Joash@Jdg.6.11- + Jether@Jdg.8.20, Abimelech@Jdg.8.31-2Sa, Jotham@Jdg.9.5- > #A Judge living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Jdg.6.11;

He is also mentioned in Heb.11.32 as an example of faith. Gideon was the son of Joash, from the clan of Abiezer in the tribe of Manasseh (Jdg.6.11, 15). During a time when Israel was oppressed by the Midianites, God called Gideon to deliver His people (Jdg.6.14). Gideon initially doubted his ability to save Israel, but God reassured him through various signs, including a fleece wet with dew (Jdg.6.36-40). Gideon destroyed the altar of Baal and the Asherah pole, earning him the name Jerubbaal, which means "let Baal contend against him" (Jdg.6.25-32). ¶With a reduced army of 300 men, chosen by God, Gideon defeated the Midianites through a surprise attack, using trumpets, empty jars, and torches (Jdg.7.1-25). He pursued the Midianite kings, Zebah and Zalmunna, and captured them (Jdg.8.4-21). After the victory, the Israelites asked Gideon to rule over them, but he refused, stating that only God should rule over Israel (Jdg.8.22-23). However, Gideon made an ephod from the gold taken from the Midianites, which became a snare to him and his family (Jdg.8.24-27). ¶Gideon had seventy sons and many wives, including a concubine from Shechem who bore him a son named Abimelech (Jdg.8.29-31). After Gideon's death, Abimelech killed his seventy brothers and became king of Shechem, but his rule was short-lived and ended in his death (Judges 9). Gideon is remembered as a deliverer of Israel, and his story is referenced in 1Sa.12.11 and 2Sa.11.21. The name Jerubbesheth (2Sa.11.21) is a variation of Jerubbaal, with "besheth" (meaning "shame") replacing "baal" to avoid using the name of the pagan god. ========== PERSON(s) Gideoni@Num.1.11-=H1441 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness + Abidan@Num.1.11- Tribe of Benjamin #A man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Num.1.11;

He is first introduced in Num.1.11 during the census of the Israelite men of military age, where he is listed as the representative of Benjamin. In Num.2.22, Gideoni is described as the leader of the Benjamite camp, which was positioned on the west side of the tabernacle, along with the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. During the offering of the dedicatory gifts for the altar, Gideoni presented the offering for the tribe of Benjamin on the ninth day (Num.7.60, 65). In Num.10.24, Gideoni is mentioned again as the leader of the Benjamite division during the Israelites' march through the wilderness. His presence as a tribal leader throughout the book of Numbers highlights the importance of organization and leadership during the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. ========== PERSON(s) Gilalai@Neh.12.36=H1562 Man living at the time of Exile and Return Jonathan@Neh.12.35 + Zechariah@Neh.12.35, Shemaiah@Neh.12.36, Azarel@Neh.12.36, Milalai@Neh.12.36, Maai@Neh.12.36, Nethanel@Neh.12.36, Judah@Neh.12.36, Hanani@Neh.12.36 > #A musician living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.12.36;

After the completion of the wall's reconstruction, Nehemiah organized a grand dedication ceremony, which involved two large choirs proceeding along the top of the wall in opposite directions, praising God with singing and musical instruments (Neh.12.27-43). Gilalai is listed among the priests who played trumpets during this ceremony, along with Zechariah, Azarel, Milalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani. The mention of Gilalai in this context highlights the importance of music and worship in the celebration of significant events in the life of the Jewish community, as well as the role of priests in leading these celebrations. ========== PERSON(s) Gilead@1Ch.5.14=H1568J Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Michael@1Ch.5.14 + Jaroah@1Ch.5.14 Tribe of Gad #A man from the tribe of Gad living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.5.14;

He is described as the son of Michael and the father of Jaroah. This genealogy traces the lineage of the Gadites who lived in the land of Bashan, east of the Jordan River, until the time of the Assyrian captivity (1Ch.5.11-17). The mention of Gilead in this genealogy helps to establish the family lineage and territorial location of a portion of the tribe of Gad. It is important to note that this Gilead is a different individual from the other Gileads mentioned in the Bible, such as the son of Machir or the father of Jephthah. The name Gilead, which means "heap of witness" or "rocky region," was commonly used both as a personal name and as a geographical designation for the region east of the Jordan River. ========== PERSON(s) Gilead@Jdg.11.1-=H1568I Man living before Israel's Monarchy + Jephthah@Jdg.11.1-Heb > #A man living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Jdg.11.1;

Jephthah is described as a mighty warrior and the son of Gilead by a prostitute. Gilead's legitimate sons, born to his wife, drove Jephthah away, denying him a share in the inheritance because of his mother's status. As a result, Jephthah fled from his brothers and settled in the land of Tob, where he gathered a group of worthless men around him. Later, when the Ammonites made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead approached Jephthah and asked him to be their commander in the fight against the Ammonites (Jdg.11.4-6). Jephthah agreed on the condition that he would become the head over Gilead if he successfully defeated the Ammonites (Jdg.11.7-11). Gilead's role in this narrative is limited to being the father of Jephthah and the namesake of the region where Jephthah and his brothers lived. The story of Jephthah and his relationship with Gilead and his half-brothers provides insight into the social dynamics and family conflicts of the time, as well as the role of judges in delivering Israel from its enemies. ========== PERSON(s) Gilead@Num.26.29-1Ch=H1568H Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Machir@Gen.50.23-1Ch + Maacah@1Ch.7.15-(?) daughter_of_Machir@1Ch.2.21, Peresh@1Ch.7.16, Sheresh@1Ch.7.16, Hammolecheth@1Ch.7.18 Abiezer@Num.26.30-Jdg, Helek@Num.26.30-Jos, Asriel@Num.26.31-Jos, Shechem@Num.26.31-Jos, Shemida@Num.26.32-1Ch, Hepher@Num.26.32-Jos Tribe of Manasseh #A man from the tribe of Manasseh living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Num.26.29;

In Num.26.29-30, he is identified as the ancestor of the Gileadite clans, which included Iezer, Helek, Asriel, Shechem, Shemida, and Hepher. These clans are also mentioned in Jos.17.1-2, where they are described as receiving an inheritance in the land of Canaan. In Num.27.1 and Jos.17.3, Gilead's great-granddaughters, the daughters of Zelophehad, appeal to Moses for the right to inherit their father's property in the absence of male heirs. This incident leads to a change in the inheritance laws, allowing daughters to inherit property when there are no male heirs (Num.27.2-11). In 1Ch.2.21-23 and 1Ch.7.14-17, Gilead is mentioned in the genealogies of Manasseh, confirming his role as a significant ancestor of the tribe. The repeated mentions of Gilead in these genealogical lists highlight the importance of family lineage and tribal identity in ancient Israelite society. ========== PERSON(s) Ginath@1Ki.16.21-=H1527 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Tibni@1Ki.16.21- > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ki.16.21;

In Gen.14.1 and Gen.14.9, Tidal is mentioned as the king of Goiim (also spelled Goyim). He was one of the four kings who fought against Chedorlaomer and his allies in the Battle of the Vale of Siddim. The exact location of Goiim is uncertain, but it is thought to refer to a region or a confederation of peoples, rather than a specific city or nation. In Jos.12.23, the king of Goiim in Gilgal is listed among the kings defeated by Joshua during the conquest of Canaan. This suggests that Goiim may have been a region or a group of people living in the area of Gilgal. ========== PERSON(s) Goliath@1Sa.17.4-1Ch=H1555 Giant living at the time of United Monarchy Rapha@2Sa.21.16-1Ch + Ishbi-benob@2Sa.21.16, Saph@2Sa.21.18-1Ch, Lahmi@2Sa.21.16-1Ch, huge_man@2Sa.21.20-1Ch > #A gigantic man living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Sa.17.4;

He is described as a giant, standing at six cubits and a span (approximately 9 feet 9 inches or 3 meters) tall, and wearing heavy bronze armor (1Sa.17.4-7). Goliath challenged the Israelites to send a champion to face him in single combat, but no one dared to accept the challenge until David, a young shepherd, volunteered. With a sling and a stone, David defeated Goliath, striking him on the forehead and killing him (1Sa.17.48-50). David then cut off Goliath's head with the giant's own sword (1Sa.17.51). This event is significant in David's life, as it marked the beginning of his rise to prominence in Israel. The sword of Goliath was kept as a trophy, and David later retrieved it from the tabernacle at Nob when he was fleeing from Saul (1Sa.21.9, 22:10). In 2Sa.21.19 and 1Ch.20.5, there is mention of another Goliath, also from Gath, who was killed by Elhanan, one of David's warriors. Some scholars believe this may refer to a brother or relative of the Goliath killed by David. ========== PERSON(s) Gomer@Gen.10.2-Ezk=H1586G Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Japheth@Gen.5.32-1Ch + Magog@Gen.10.2-1Ch, Madai@Gen.10.2-1Ch, Javan@Gen.10.2-Col, Tubal@Gen.10.2-1Ch, Meshech@Gen.10.2-1Ch, Tiras@Gen.10.2-1Ch Ashkenaz@Gen.10.3-1Ch, Riphath@Gen.10.3-1Ch, Togarmah@Gen.10.3-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.2;

He is listed alongside his brothers Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. Gomer is also named as the father of three sons: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. The descendants of Gomer are believed to have settled in the region around the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, possibly in the area of modern-day Turkey, Armenia, and parts of Eastern Europe. In Ezk.38.6, Gomer is mentioned along with Beth-togarmah as one of the allies of Gog, a future enemy of Israel. This suggests that the descendants of Gomer were still recognized as a distinct people group during the time of Ezekiel's prophecy. Some scholars have proposed a connection between Gomer and the ancient Cimmerians, a nomadic people who inhabited the region north of the Black Sea in the 8th and 7th centuries BC, but this identification remains uncertain. ========== PERSON(s) Gomer@Hos.1.3=H1586H Woman living at the time of Divided Monarchy Diblaim@Hos.1.3 + Hosea@Hos.1.1-Rom Jezreel@Hos.1.4, Lo-ruhamah@Hos.1.6-, Lo-ammi@Hos.1.9 > #A woman living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Hos.1.3;

God commanded Hosea to marry Gomer, who was described as a promiscuous woman or a prostitute, to illustrate Israel's unfaithfulness to God. Gomer bore Hosea three children: Jezreel, Lo-ruhamah, and Lo-ammi, whose names were symbolic of God's judgment and rejection of Israel due to their disobedience. Despite Gomer's continued unfaithfulness, Hosea was commanded to love her and redeem her, just as God continued to love and seek to redeem Israel. The story of Hosea and Gomer serves as an allegory of God's relationship with Israel, emphasizing God's steadfast love and mercy in the face of Israel's sin and disobedience. ========== PERSON(s) Guni@1Ch.5.15=H1476H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Abdiel@1Ch.5.15 Tribe of Gad #A man from the tribe of Gad living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.5.15;

However, when the genealogies of the priests were examined, the descendants of Habaiah were unable to prove their priestly lineage. As a result, they were considered unclean and were excluded from serving as priests. The governor ordered them not to eat from the most holy things until a priest with the Urim and Thummim could resolve the matter. The Urim and Thummim were sacred objects used to determine the will of God. The fact that the descendants of Habaiah could not provide clear genealogical records suggests that their priestly lineage may have been lost or compromised during the exile. ========== PERSON(s) Habakkuk@Hab.1.1-=H2265 Prophet living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A prophet living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at Hab.1.1;

The book of Habakkuk, which bears his name, records a unique dialogue between the prophet and God. Habakkuk questioned God's justice, asking why evil seemed to go unpunished and the righteous suffered (Hab.1.2-4). God responded by revealing His plan to use the Babylonians to punish Judah's wickedness (Hab.1.5-11). Habakkuk then struggled with the idea of God using a wicked nation to punish His people (Hab.1.12-2:1). God assured Habakkuk that the Babylonians would also face judgment for their sins, and that the righteous would live by faith (Hab.2.2-20). The book concludes with a prayer of Habakkuk, in which he expresses his trust in God despite the difficult circumstances (Hab.3.1-19). Habakkuk's message emphasizes the importance of faith and trust in God, even when His ways are difficult to understand. ========== PERSON(s) Habazziniah@Jer.35.3=H2262 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Jeremiah@Jer.35.3 > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Jer.35.3;

The Rechabites were a nomadic tribe known for their strict adherence to the commands of their ancestor, Jonadab son of Rechab. They abstained from drinking wine, planting crops, and living in permanent dwellings (Jer.35.6-7).

He is mentioned in 2 Samuel 8, 10, and 1 Chronicles 18, 19. Hadadezer went to restore his control along the Euphrates River, but David defeated him, capturing many of his chariots, horsemen, and foot soldiers (2Sa.8.3-4, 1 Chronicles 2Sa.18.3-4). David also took gold shields from Hadadezer's officers and brought them to Jerusalem (2Sa.8.7, 1 Chronicles 2Sa.18.7). When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, David defeated them as well, and they became subject to Israel (2Sa.8.5-6, 1 Chronicles 2Sa.18.5-6). Later, when David's messengers were mistreated by the Ammonites, Hadadezer sent his army to help the Ammonites fight against Israel (2Sa.10.16, 1 Chronicles 2Sa.19.16). However, Joab and Abishai, David's commanders, defeated the Arameans and the Ammonites. After this defeat, Hadadezer's allies made peace with Israel and became subject to them (2Sa.10.19, 1 Chronicles 2Sa.19.19). The biblical account portrays Hadadezer as a powerful king who posed a significant threat to Israel, but was ultimately defeated by David and his army. ========== PERSON(s) Hadlai@2Ch.28.12=H2311 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Amasa@2Ch.28.12 > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ch.28.12;

When Sarah was unable to conceive, she gave Hagar to Abraham as a concubine to bear a child on her behalf, following the custom of the time (Gen.16.1-3). Hagar conceived and gave birth to a son named Ishmael (Gen.16.15). However, tensions arose between Hagar and Sarah, leading Sarah to mistreat Hagar, who then fled into the wilderness (Gen.16.4-6). An angel of the Lord appeared to Hagar, instructing her to return and submit to Sarah, and promising that her descendants would be greatly multiplied (Gen.16.7-10). Years later, after Isaac was born to Sarah, Hagar and Ishmael were sent away by Abraham at Sarah's insistence (Gen.21.9-14). God heard Ishmael's cry in the wilderness and provided for him and Hagar, promising to make Ishmael into a great nation (Gen.21.17-21). In the New Testament, Paul uses Hagar and Sarah as an allegory, with Hagar representing the old covenant of slavery under the law, and Sarah representing the new covenant of freedom through Christ (Gal.4.24-25). Hagar's story illustrates God's care for the oppressed and His faithfulness to His promises, even to those outside the primary line of Abraham's descendants. ========== PERSON(s) Haggai@Ezr.5.1-Hag=H2292A Prophet living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A prophet living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.5.1;

He is mentioned in the book bearing his name and in Ezr.5.1 and Ezr.6.14. Haggai, along with the prophet Zechariah, played a crucial role in encouraging the people to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, which had been destroyed by the Babylonians. In the second year of King Darius of Persia, Haggai delivered a series of messages to the governor of Judah, Zerubbabel, and the high priest, Joshua, urging them to resume the work on the temple (Hag.1.1, 3, 12). He confronted the people about their misplaced priorities, as they had focused on building their own houses while neglecting the house of God (Hag.1.4, 9). Haggai's prophecies also included messages of hope, assuring the people that God would bless them and that the glory of the new temple would surpass that of the former (Hag.2.9). As a result of Haggai's exhortations, the people obeyed, and the work on the temple resumed (Hag.1.12-15).

The return from exile was a significant event in Jewish history, as it marked the end of the Babylonian captivity and the beginning of the restoration of Jerusalem and the temple. Ezra, a priest and scribe, led a group of exiles back to Jerusalem and was instrumental in teaching the people the Law of Moses and instituting religious reforms. ========== PERSON(s) Hakkoz@1Ch.24.10=H6976H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.24.10;

However, when the genealogies of the priests were examined, the descendants of Hakkoz were unable to prove their priestly lineage. As a result, they were considered unclean and were excluded from serving as priests. The governor ordered them not to eat from the most holy things until a priest with the Urim and Thummim could resolve the matter. The Urim and Thummim were sacred objects used to determine the will of God. The fact that the descendants of Hakkoz could not provide clear genealogical records suggests that their priestly lineage may have been lost or compromised during the exile. ========== PERSON(s) Hakkoz@Neh.3.4-=H6976J Man living at the time of Exile and Return + Uriah@Ezr.8.33-Neh > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Neh.3.4;

Later, in Neh.3.21, Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, is mentioned as repairing another section of the wall near his house. The rebuilding of the wall was a significant event in the history of Jerusalem, as it provided security and stability for the city and its inhabitants after the return from Babylonian exile.

He and his wife were among the eight people who survived the great flood in Noah's ark (Gen.7.13). After the flood, Ham became the father of Canaan (Gen.9.18). An incident occurred in which Ham saw his father Noah naked and informed his brothers (Gen.9.22). When Noah awoke and learned of Ham's actions, he pronounced a curse on Canaan, Ham's son (Gen.9.24-25). Ham is also mentioned as the ancestor of various nations, including the Cushites, Egyptians, Put, and Canaanites (Gen.10.6-20). These nations are often referred to as the "sons of Ham" and are generally associated with the regions of Africa and the Middle East. In the Table of Nations (Genesis 10), Ham's descendants are listed, providing insight into the geographical distribution of ancient people groups. Ham's significance in the Bible lies primarily in his role as the father of Canaan and the ancestor of nations that would later play important roles in the history of Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Haman@Est.3.1-=H2001 Persian living at the time of Exile and Return Hammedatha@Est.3.1- + Zeresh@Est.5.10- Parshandatha@Est.9.7, Dalphon@Est.9.7, Aspatha@Est.9.7, Poratha@Est.9.8, Adalia@Est.9.8, Aridatha@Est.9.8, Parmashta@Est.9.9, Arisai@Est.9.9, Aridai@Est.9.9, Vaizatha@Est.9.9 Persian #A man of Persia living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Est.3.1;

Haman was promoted to a position of authority and commanded all the royal officials to bow down to him (Est.3.1-2). However, Mordecai, a Jew, refused to bow to Haman (Est.3.2-4). Enraged, Haman plotted to destroy not only Mordecai but all the Jews in the empire (Est.3.5-6). He convinced the king to issue a decree ordering the extermination of the Jews (Est.3.8-15). Haman also had a gallows built to hang Mordecai (Est.5.14). However, Haman's plans were thwarted by Queen Esther, who revealed her Jewish identity to the king and exposed Haman's plot (Est.7.1-6). The king ordered Haman to be hanged on the very gallows he had prepared for Mordecai (Est.7.7-10). Haman's ten sons were also executed (Est.9.10-14). The king then issued a new decree, allowing the Jews to defend themselves against their enemies (Est.8.1-14).

They were descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham and grandson of Noah. The Hamathites were named after the city of Hamath, located in modern-day Syria, which was their primary settlement. Hamath was an important city-state in ancient times, known for its strategic location along trade routes. The Hamathites were one of the many Canaanite groups that inhabited the region before the Israelites settled in the land. In later biblical history, Hamath is mentioned as one of the kingdoms that bordered Israel during the reigns of David and Solomon (2Sa.8.9-10; 1Ki.8.65). The Hamathites, along with other Canaanite groups, were eventually conquered and assimilated by the Israelites as they took possession of the Promised Land. ========== PERSON(s) Hammath@1Ch.2.55=H2575B Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Rechab@2Ki.10.15-Jer Tribe of Judah(?) #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.2.55;

He is identified as an Agagite (Est.3.1), which suggests that he may have been a descendant of Agag, the Amalekite king who was defeated by King Saul (1 Samuel 15). Hammedatha's son, Haman, rose to a high position in the court of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes I) and used his influence to persuade the king to issue a decree ordering the extermination of all Jews in the empire (Est.3.8-15). However, Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai ultimately thwarted Haman's plans, leading to his downfall and execution, along with his ten sons (Esther 7-9). The mention of Hammedatha in the book of Esther serves to provide background information on Haman's lineage and to emphasize the long-standing enmity between the Amalekites and the Israelites. ========== PERSON(s) Hammelech@Jer.36.26-=H4428H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Jerahmeel@Jer.36.26, Malchijah@1Ch.9.12-Neh > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at Jer.36.26;

In Jer.36.26, Jerahmeel, the son of Hammelech, is identified as one of the officials sent by King Jehoiakim to arrest Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet after the king burned the scroll containing Jeremiah's prophecies. In Jer.38.6, Malchijah (or 'Malchiah'), another son of Hammelech, is mentioned as one of the officials who threw Jeremiah into a cistern at the request of the princes who opposed the prophet's message. The use of the term "Hammelech" in these passages has led some scholars to believe that it may be a title rather than a proper name, indicating that Jerahmeel and Malchiah were royal officials.

The name Hammolecheth is unusual, as it is a feminine form of the Hebrew word "melech," meaning "king." Some scholars suggest that this name may indicate a position of authority or leadership held by Hammolecheth within her family or clan.

His son was called Shechem, after whom the city was named (Gen.33.19). When Israel (or 'Jacob') and his family settled near Shechem, Hamor's son Shechem assaulted Jacob's daughter Dinah (Gen.34.2). Hamor and Shechem sought to arrange a marriage between Shechem and Dinah and proposed that their people intermarry with Jacob's family (Gen.34.8-10). Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, deceitfully agreed on the condition that all the men of Shechem be circumcised (Gen.34.13-24). However, while the men of Shechem were recovering from the circumcision, Simeon and Levi attacked the city, killed Hamor and Shechem, and rescued Dinah (Gen.34.25-29). The land that Jacob had purchased from Hamor became a possession of the Israelites and was later allocated to the tribe of Manasseh (Jos.24.32). In the time of the judges, Gaal son of Ebed challenged Abimelech's rule in Shechem, invoking the memory of Hamor as the city's ancestral leader (Jdg.9.28). In Act.7.16, Stephen mentions that Abraham bought a tomb from the sons of Hamor in Shechem, which may refer to the same transaction or a separate one. ========== PERSON(s) Hamul@Gen.46.12-1Ch=H2538 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Perez@Gen.38.29-Luk + Hezron@Gen.46.12-Luk Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Gen.46.12;

However, he reigned for only three months before being deposed by Pharaoh Necho of Egypt (2Ki.23.31-34). Zedekiah, Hamutal's other son, was the last king of Judah before the Babylonian exile. He was appointed as king by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, after the deportation of his nephew, King Jehoiachin (2Ki.24.17-18). Zedekiah reigned for eleven years but ultimately rebelled against Babylon, leading to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple (2Ki.25.1-10).

As prophesied, Hanamel visited Jeremiah and offered to sell him the field, which was Jeremiah's right to redeem as a close relative (Jer.32.8). Jeremiah purchased the field, weighed out the money, signed and sealed the deed, and had it witnessed (Jer.32.9-12). This transaction served as a symbolic act, demonstrating Jeremiah's faith in God's promise that houses, fields, and vineyards would once again be bought in the land of Judah, despite the impending Babylonian conquest (Jer.32.15). The purchase of the field from Hanamel was a sign of hope and future restoration for the people of Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Hanan@1Ch.11.43=H2605I Warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy Maacah@1Ch.11.43 + > #A warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.11.43;

They brought a report about the dire situation in Jerusalem, with its walls broken down and gates burned. This news deeply troubled Nehemiah, leading him to pray and fast before God. Later, with the king's permission, Nehemiah traveled to Jerusalem to rebuild the city walls. After the completion of the wall, Nehemiah appointed Hanani, along with Hananiah, as the governors of Jerusalem (Neh.7.2). Nehemiah chose them because they were considered more faithful and God-fearing than others. As governors, they were responsible for overseeing the city's security and administration. Hanani's role in bringing the report to Nehemiah and his subsequent appointment as a governor highlights his trustworthiness and commitment to the well-being of Jerusalem and its people. ========== PERSON(s) Hanani@Neh.12.36=H2607K Man living at the time of Exile and Return Jonathan@Neh.12.35 + Zechariah@Neh.12.35, Shemaiah@Neh.12.36, Azarel@Neh.12.36, Milalai@Neh.12.36, Gilalai@Neh.12.36, Maai@Neh.12.36, Nethanel@Neh.12.36, Judah@Neh.12.36 > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.12.36;

Hananiah and his friends remained faithful to God and refused to defile themselves with the king's food and wine (Dan.1.8-16). God granted them knowledge, skill, and wisdom, and they excelled in their service to the king (Dan.1.17-20). Later, when King Nebuchadnezzar erected a golden image and demanded that all people worship it, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah refused to comply (Dan.3.12). As a result, they were thrown into a fiery furnace, but God protected them, and they emerged unharmed (Dan.3.19-27). This event led Nebuchadnezzar to acknowledge the power of their God and promote them to higher positions in the province of Babylon (Dan.3.28-30).

At the beginning of Zedekiah's reign, Hananiah publicly contradicted Jeremiah's prophecy that the Babylonian captivity would last seventy years. In the presence of the priests and all the people in the temple, Hananiah falsely prophesied that within two years, God would break the yoke of the king of Babylon and bring back the temple vessels and the exiles (Jer.28.1-4). He also removed the yoke from Jeremiah's neck, which symbolized the Babylonian captivity, and broke it (Jer.28.10-11). In response, Jeremiah prophesied that Hananiah would die within a year for making the people trust in a lie (Jer.28.15-16). As Jeremiah had foretold, Hananiah died two months later (Jer.28.17). This event demonstrated the importance of discerning true prophets from false ones and the consequences of speaking falsely in the name of the Lord.

Baruch then read the scroll in the temple, and when the officials heard about it, they summoned him to read it in their presence. Hananiah, along with the other officials, listened to the words of the scroll, which contained warnings of judgment against Judah for their disobedience.

He chose Hananiah, along with his brother Hanani, because they were considered more faithful and God-fearing than others. As a governor, Hananiah was responsible for maintaining order, protecting the city, and ensuring the well-being of its inhabitants. Nehemiah's selection of Hananiah for this important role indicates his trust in Hananiah's character and abilities.

She was one of Elkanah's two wives, the other being Peninnah. While Peninnah had children, Hannah was barren, which caused her great distress (1Sa.1.2, 6-7). During an annual visit to the tabernacle at Shiloh, Hannah prayed fervently to the Lord, asking for a son and vowing to dedicate him to the Lord's service (1Sa.1.9-11). Eli, the high priest, initially mistook her intense prayer for drunkenness but later blessed her when he understood her situation (1Sa.1.12-18). In due time, Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son, whom she named Samuel, meaning "heard by God" (1Sa.1.19-20). After weaning him, Hannah fulfilled her vow and brought Samuel to the tabernacle to serve under Eli (1Sa.1.24-28). Hannah's prayer of thanksgiving (1Sa.2.1-10) expresses her joy and gratitude for God's answer to her prayers and her recognition of God's sovereignty. The Bible also records that Hannah had three more sons and two daughters after dedicating Samuel to the Lord (1Sa.2.21). Hannah's story illustrates the power of prayer, faith, and dedication to God. ========== PERSON(s) Hanniel@1Ch.7.39=H2592H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shual@1Ch.7.36- + Arah@1Ch.7.39, Rizia@1Ch.7.39 Tribe of Asher #A man from the tribe of Asher living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.7.39;

After the Israelites had conquered the land of Canaan under the leadership of Joshua, the land was divided among the tribes of Israel. To ensure a fair distribution, leaders from each tribe were appointed to oversee the process. Hanniel was chosen to represent the tribe of Manasseh, one of the largest tribes, which received its inheritance on both sides of the Jordan River (Jos.13.29-31).

Hanoch is listed among the five sons of Midian, along with Ephah, Epher, Abida, and Eldaah. These sons and their descendants became the tribes of the Midianites, who are mentioned throughout the Old Testament. The Midianites lived in the region east of the Jordan River and were known for their trading and nomadic lifestyle.

He is listed among the descendants of Reuben who went down to Egypt with Jacob during the time of Joseph (Gen.46.8-9). Hanoch's descendants formed the Hanochite clan within the tribe of Reuben (Num.26.5). The tribe of Reuben, along with the tribes of Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh, settled in the region east of the Jordan River after the Israelites conquered the land of Canaan (Num.32.1-5, 33-42).

He is mentioned in 2 Samuel 10 and 1 Chronicles 19. After the death of Hanun's father, Nahash, who had shown kindness to David, David sent envoys to express his sympathy to Hanun (2Sa.10.1-2; 1Ch.19.1-2). However, Hanun's advisors convinced him that David's envoys were spies, so Hanun humiliated them by shaving off half of their beards and cutting their garments short (2Sa.10.3-4; 1Ch.19.3-4). This act was a grave insult and a violation of diplomatic protocol. When David heard about this, he was outraged and prepared for war against the Ammonites (2Sa.10.5-7; 1Ch.19.6-7). Hanun, realizing his mistake, hired Syrian mercenaries to help him fight against Israel (2Sa.10.6; 1Ch.19.6-7). However, the Israelite army, led by Joab and Abishai, defeated the Ammonites and their Syrian allies (2Sa.10.8-14; 1Ch.19.8-15). The conflict continued, and David himself later joined the battle, capturing the Ammonite capital, Rabbah (2Sa.12.26-31; 1Ch.20.1-3). Hanun's mistreatment of David's envoys and the resulting war highlight the importance of diplomatic relations and the consequences of disrespecting allies in the ancient Near East. ========== PERSON(s) Hanun@Neh.3.13=H2586H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.3.13;

David, along with Zadok and Ahimelech, organized the priests into 24 divisions to ensure a systematic and orderly service in the temple (1Ch.24.1-19). Each division was responsible for serving in the temple for a specific period, and the order was determined by casting lots. Happizzez was chosen as the head of the 18th division, which would have been responsible for serving during their allotted time.

In the context of Esther 1, King Ahasuerus held a lavish banquet for all his officials and servants, displaying his wealth and splendor. On the seventh day of the feast, when the king was in high spirits from wine, he commanded the seven eunuchs, including Harbona, to bring Queen Vashti before him wearing her royal crown, to show off her beauty to the people and officials. However, Queen Vashti refused to come, defying the king's command. This incident led to Vashti's removal as queen and paved the way for Esther to become the new queen. The mention of Harbona as one of the seven eunuchs highlights the importance of these court officials in the Persian royal court and their role in carrying out the king's orders. ========== PERSON(s) Harbona@Est.7.9=H2726H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Est.7.9;

Haman, the king's highest official, had plotted to destroy all the Jews in the Persian Empire due to his hatred for Mordecai, Esther's cousin and guardian. During a banquet that Esther had prepared for the king and Haman, Esther revealed Haman's evil plot and pleaded for the lives of her people. The king, furious with Haman, stepped out into the palace garden. At this moment, Harbona, one of the eunuchs attending the king, spoke up and informed the king about the gallows that Haman had prepared for Mordecai, who had previously saved the king's life by exposing a plot against him. Harbona's timely intervention sealed Haman's fate, as the king ordered Haman to be hanged on the very gallows he had built for Mordecai. This turn of events led to the deliverance of the Jews and the elevation of Mordecai to a high position in the Persian court. Harbona's actions demonstrate the significance of speaking truth to power and the role that seemingly minor characters can play in God's providential plan. ========== PERSON(s) Hareph@1Ch.2.51=H2780 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Hur@Exo.17.10-2Ch + Uri@Exo.31.2-2Ch, Shobal@1Ch.2.50-, Salma@1Ch.2.51-, Jezreel@1Ch.4.3, Ishma@1Ch.4.3, Idbash@1Ch.4.3, Hazzelelponi@1Ch.4.3, Penuel@1Ch.4.4, Ezer@1Ch.4.4 Beth-gader@1Ch.2.51(f) Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at 1Ch.2.51;

He is identified as the father of Beth-gader, which is likely a reference to a town or a region associated with his family. The genealogy in 1 Chronicles 2 traces the descendants of Judah, focusing particularly on the line of Caleb, who was one of the faithful spies who encouraged the Israelites to trust in God and enter the Promised Land (Numbers 13-14). Caleb was rewarded for his faithfulness with a special inheritance in the land of Canaan. The mention of Hareph in this genealogy highlights the importance of family lineage and the recording of descendants in the Old Testament. It also shows how the tribe of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ would descend, grew and established itself in the land of Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Harhaiah@Neh.3.8=H2736 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + Uzziel@Neh.3.8 > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.3.8;

After the Babylonian exile, Nehemiah, a Jewish official serving in the Persian court, received permission from King Artaxerxes to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the city's walls. Nehemiah organized the people of Jerusalem to work on different sections of the wall, with various individuals and families taking responsibility for specific portions. Uzziel, the son of Harhaiah, is recorded as one of the goldsmiths who made repairs next to the section repaired by the men of Jericho. The mention of Harhaiah's profession as a goldsmith suggests that he was a skilled craftsman, and his son's involvement in the wall repair project indicates the participation of people from various trades and backgrounds in this important task. The rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls was crucial for the security and restoration of the Jewish community in the post-exilic period, and the collective effort demonstrated the unity and determination of the people to restore their city and their faith. ========== PERSON(s) Harhas@2Ki.22.14-2Ch=H2745 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Tikvah@2Ki.22.14-2Ch > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.22.14;

He is described as a man of great wisdom, along with Ethan the Ezrahite and the sons of Mahol (1Ki.4.31). However, the passage also states that Solomon's wisdom surpassed that of all these men, indicating that Heman, while wise, was not as wise as Solomon himself. The comparison serves to highlight the exceptional wisdom that God had granted to Solomon. ¶Heman the Ezrahite was a psalmist and musician mentioned in the title of Psalm 88. He is described as "Heman the Ezrahite," indicating that he was a descendant of Zerah, one of the sons of Judah (Gen.38.30; 1Ch.2.6). Psalm 88, which is attributed to Heman, is a deeply sorrowful and introspective psalm, expressing the psalmist's anguish and despair. The psalm is unique in that it does not end with the usual expression of hope or praise found in most other psalms. This has led some scholars to suggest that Heman may have composed the psalm during a time of great personal distress or national crisis. ========== PERSON(s) Hemdan@Gen.36.26-1Ch=H2533 Edomite living at the time of the Patriarchs Dishon@Gen.36.21-1Ch + Eshban@Gen.36.26-1Ch, Ithran@Gen.36.26-1Ch, Cheran@Gen.36.26-1Ch Edom #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.36.26;

He is mentioned in the Gospels in connection with the imprisonment and execution of John the Baptist (Mat.14.3,6; Mrk.6.17-29; Luk.3.19-20). Herod Antipas had married Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, which John the Baptist condemned as unlawful. In retaliation, Herodias's daughter danced for Herod Antipas and requested the head of John the Baptist as a reward. Herod, though reluctant, fulfilled her request and had John beheaded. During Jesus' ministry, Herod Antipas heard about Jesus' miracles and teachings and was perplexed, thinking that John the Baptist had risen from the dead (Mat.14.1-2; Mrk.6.14-16; Luk.9.7-9). Later, during Jesus' trial, Pontius Pilate sent Jesus to Herod Antipas, who was in Jerusalem at the time (Luk.23.7-12). Herod Antipas questioned Jesus, hoping to see a miracle, but Jesus remained silent. Herod and his soldiers mocked Jesus, dressed him in an elegant robe, and sent him back to Pilate.

He was an Idumean (Edomite) by birth and was appointed as king by the Roman Senate in 40 BC. Herod was known for his ambitious building projects, including the expansion and renovation of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. In the Bible, Herod is portrayed as a cruel and paranoid ruler. When the wise men from the East inquired about the birth of the "king of the Jews," Herod saw this as a threat to his power (Mat.2.1-8). After the wise men failed to report back to him, Herod ordered the massacre of all male children aged two and under in Bethlehem and the surrounding region (Mat.2.16-18). This event, known as the "Massacre of the Innocents," reflects Herod's ruthless nature and his determination to eliminate any perceived threats to his rule.

John the Baptist openly condemned this marriage as unlawful, which led to his imprisonment by Herod Antipas (Mat.14.3-4; Mrk.6.17-18; Luk.3.19-20). Herodias held a grudge against John and wanted to have him killed, but Herod Antipas feared the multitude who regarded John as a prophet (Mat.14.5; Mrk.6.19-20). On Herod Antipas's birthday, Herodias's daughter danced before the guests, pleasing Herod Antipas, who promised to give her whatever she asked (Mat.14.6-7; Mrk.6.21-23).

The Hittites are listed among the inhabitants of the Promised Land that God would drive out before the Israelites (Exo.3.8,17; 13.5; 23.23,28; 33.2; 34.11; Deu.7.1; 20.17; Jos.1.4; 3.10; 9.1; 11.3; 12.8; 24.11; Jdg.3.5; 1Ki.9.20; 2Ch.8.7; Ezr.9.1; Neh.9.8). During the time of the united monarchy, the Hittites are mentioned in connection with David's reign, particularly in the story of Uriah the Hittite, one of David's mighty men (2Sa.11; 23.39; 1Ch.11.41). Solomon had trade relations with the Hittites and even married Hittite women (1Ki.10.29; 11.1; 2Ch.1.17). The Hittites are also mentioned in the prophetic books as a point of comparison or as part of a list of nations (Isa.1.1; Ezk.16.3,45). ========== PERSON(s) Hezekiah@2Ki.16.20-Mat=H2396G King living at the time of Divided Monarchy Ahaz@2Ki.15.38-Mat + Abi@2Ki.18.2-2Ch Maaseiah@2Ch.28.7 Hephzibah@2Ki.21.1 Manasseh@2Ki.20.21-Mat Tribe of Judah #A king of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.16.20;

He reigned for 29 years (2Ki.18.2; 2Ch.29.1). Hezekiah is known for his religious reforms and his trust in God during the Assyrian invasion. He removed the high places, broke down the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles (2Ki.18.4; 2Ch.31.1). He also cleansed and restored the temple, and reinstituted the Passover celebration (2Ch.29-30). When Sennacherib, king of Assyria, invaded Judah, Hezekiah trusted in God and sought the counsel of the prophet Isaiah (2Ki.18-19; 2Ch.32; Isa.36-37). As a result, God delivered Jerusalem from the Assyrian army (2Ki.19.35-36; 2Ch.32.21; Isa.37.36-37). Hezekiah also faced a severe illness, but after he prayed, God granted him 15 more years of life (2Ki.20.1-11; 2Ch.32.24-26; Isa.38). However, Hezekiah's pride led him to show the Babylonian envoys all his treasures, which prompted Isaiah to prophesy the future Babylonian captivity (2Ki.20.12-19; 2Ch.32.27-31; Isa.39). Despite this, Hezekiah is remembered as a king who did what was right in the eyes of the Lord (2Ki.18.3; 2Ch.29.2). He is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus (Mat.1.9-10) and is also referenced in the books of Jeremiah, Hosea, and Micah (Jer.15.4; 26.18-19; Hos.1.1; Mic.1.1). ========== PERSON(s) Hezekiah@Ezr.2.16-Neh=H2396I Man living at the time of Exile and Return Ater@Ezr.2.16-Neh + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.16;

Jericho had been destroyed and cursed by Joshua centuries earlier (Jos.6.26), with a warning that whoever rebuilt the city would do so at the cost of his firstborn and youngest sons. ¶Despite this curse, Hiel rebuilt Jericho, and as a result, he lost his firstborn son, Abiram, when he laid the foundation, and his youngest son, Segub, when he set up the gates. This event is recorded as a fulfillment of Joshua's prophecy and a demonstration of the power of God's word. ¶Hiel's actions were in direct disobedience to God's command and showed a disregard for the history and spiritual significance of Jericho.

The Assyrian representative, the Rabshakeh, delivered a threatening message to Hezekiah, urging him to surrender.

He is most notable for his discovery of the Book of the Law in the temple, which led to a significant religious reform and renewal in Judah. ¶In the 18th year of Josiah's reign, Hilkiah was involved in the repair and restoration of the temple. During this process, he found the Book of the Law, which had been lost or neglected for some time (2Ki.22.8, 2 Chronicles 2Ki.34.14). Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan the scribe, who then brought it to King Josiah. ¶Upon hearing the words of the Law, Josiah was deeply troubled and sought to inquire of the Lord. Hilkiah, along with others, was sent to consult with the prophetess Huldah, who confirmed the authenticity of the book and prophesied about the judgment that would come upon Judah for their disobedience (2Ki.22.12-20, 2 Chronicles 2Ki.34.20-28). ¶Following this, Josiah initiated a comprehensive religious reform, removing idolatry, destroying pagan shrines, and restoring proper worship according to the Law. Hilkiah played a key role in this process, as he was entrusted with the task of cleansing the temple and overseeing the observance of the Passover (2Ki.23.4-24, 2 Chronicles 2Ki.35.1-19). ¶Hilkiah is also mentioned in the genealogies of the Levites and priests (1Ch.6.13, 9:11). ========== PERSON(s) Hilkiah@Jer.1.1=H2518M Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy father_of_Hilkiah@Jer.32.7 + Shallum@Jer.32.7 Jeremiah@2Ch.35.25-Mat > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Jer.1.1;

The fact that Jeremiah, his son, was called to be a prophet suggests that Hilkiah may have been a devout and faithful priest who raised his children in the knowledge and service of God. ¶Although little is known about Hilkiah beyond this brief mention, his role as the father of one of the most prominent prophets in the Old Testament is significant. Jeremiah's ministry spanned several decades, from the reign of King Josiah through the Babylonian exile, and his prophecies and teachings played a crucial role in the spiritual history of Israel. Hilkiah's influence as a priest and father undoubtedly shaped Jeremiah's early life and prepared him for his prophetic calling. ========== PERSON(s) Hilkiah@Neh.12.7-=H2518L Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Neh.12.7;

During this time, Judah married a Canaanite woman named Shua and had three sons with her. This event marked a significant departure from the traditions of his family, as marrying outside of the Hebrew people was generally discouraged. ¶Later, in Gen.38.12, after the death of Judah's wife, he went to Timnah with his friend Hirah to shear his sheep. It was during this trip that Judah encountered his daughter-in-law Tamar, who had disguised herself as a prostitute. Judah, unaware of her true identity, slept with her, resulting in Tamar's pregnancy. ¶Hirah's presence in these narratives suggests that he was a trusted companion of Judah and that their friendship endured over time. As an Adullamite, Hirah would have been familiar with the local customs and culture, which may have influenced Judah's decisions and actions during his time away from his family. ========== PERSON(s) Hiram@1Ki.7.13-2Ch=H2438H Syrian living at the time of United Monarchy + Syria #A king of Syria living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ki.7.13;

This gesture demonstrated the friendly relationship between Tyre and Israel and Hiram's recognition of David's growing power and influence in the region. ¶Hiram's alliance with Israel continued during the reign of Solomon, David's son. He played a significant role in the construction of the First Temple in Jerusalem by supplying Solomon with cedar and cypress logs, as well as skilled craftsmen (1 Kings 5; 2Ch.2.3-16). In exchange, Solomon provided Hiram with large quantities of wheat, barley, olive oil, and wine (1Ki.5.11; 2Ch.2.10). ¶The two kings also collaborated on maritime expeditions, with Hiram sending his skilled sailors to join Solomon's fleet in voyages to Ophir, a region known for its wealth in gold and other precious items (1Ki.9.27-28; 10.11, 22; 2Ch.8.18; 9.10, 21). ¶In addition to their trade and construction projects, Hiram and Solomon exchanged gifts and engaged in diplomatic relations (1Ki.9.11-14; 2Ch.8.2).

He is mentioned in two passages in the Bible, Num.10.29 and Jdg.4.11. ¶In Num.10.29, as the Israelites were preparing to depart from Mount Sinai, Moses invited Hobab to join them on their journey to the Promised Land. Moses said, "We are setting out for the place of which the Lord said, 'I will give it to you.' Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the Lord has promised good to Israel." Initially, Hobab declined the invitation, preferring to return to his own land and people. However, it is implied that he eventually agreed to accompany the Israelites, as his descendants, the Kenites, are later mentioned as living among the Israelites (Jdg.4.11). ¶In Jdg.4.11, Hobab is described as the father-in-law of Heber the Kenite. This passage suggests that Hobab's descendants maintained a close relationship with the Israelites, even though they were not part of the original twelve tribes. ¶As a Midianite, Hobab would have had valuable knowledge of the wilderness through which the Israelites were traveling.

He is listed among the Levites who helped Ezra teach the Law to the people (Neh.8.7) and was one of those who led the people in worship and confession (Neh.9.5). ¶In Neh.10.10, Hodiah is among the Levites who signed the covenant to follow the Law of God, demonstrating his commitment to the spiritual renewal of the nation. He is also mentioned in Neh.12.8 as one of the Levites who participated in the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem, a significant event marking the completion of the city's restoration. ¶As a Levite, Hodiah would have had responsibilities related to the temple service, teaching, and worship. His involvement in key religious events and his signature on the covenant highlight his leadership role within the Levitical community and his dedication to the spiritual well-being of the Israelites during this crucial period of rebuilding and renewal. ========== PERSON(s) Hoglah@Num.26.33-Jos=H2295 Woman living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Zelophehad@Num.26.33-1Ch + Mahlah@Num.26.33-Jos, Noah@Num.26.33-Jos, Milcah@Num.26.33-Jos, Tirzah@Num.26.33-Jos Tribe of Manasseh #A woman from the tribe of Manasseh living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Num.26.33;

Her sisters were Mahlah, Noah, Milcah, and Tirzah. ¶Zelophehad had no sons, and according to the traditional inheritance laws, his daughters would not receive a portion of the Promised Land. However, the daughters of Zelophehad approached Moses and the leaders of Israel, requesting the right to inherit their father's portion (Num.27.1-4). ¶In response to their request, God instructed Moses to grant the daughters of Zelophehad an inheritance among their father's relatives, setting a precedent for cases where a man died without male heirs (Num.27.5-11). This ruling ensured that Hoglah and her sisters would receive a portion of the land allocated to the tribe of Manasseh. ¶The story of Hoglah and her sisters is significant, as it demonstrates the importance of women's rights and their ability to advocate for themselves in a patriarchal society. Their actions led to a change in inheritance laws, ensuring that women could inherit property in the absence of male heirs. ========== PERSON(s) Hoham@Jos.10.3=H1944 King living before Israel's Monarchy + Canaan #A king in Canaan living before Israel's Monarchy, only mentioned at Jos.10.3;

When the Gibeonites made a peace treaty with Israel, Hoham formed an alliance with four other Amorite kings—Adoni-Zedek of Jerusalem, Piram of Jarmuth, Japhia of Lachish, and Debir of Eglon—to attack Gibeon (Jos.10.1-5). ¶In response to the Gibeonites' request for help, Joshua and the Israelite army marched through the night and launched a surprise attack on the Amorite forces. With the help of God, who sent large hailstones and caused the sun to stand still, the Israelites defeated the Amorite kings and their armies (Jos.10.6-11). ¶The five Amorite kings, including Hoham, fled and hid in a cave at Makkedah. Joshua ordered the cave to be sealed until the battle was finished. After the victory, the kings were brought out of the cave, and Joshua instructed his commanders to put their feet on the kings' necks, symbolizing their complete defeat. The kings were then executed and hanged on trees until evening (Jos.10.16-27). ¶Hoham's story illustrates the power and faithfulness of God in fulfilling His promise to give the Israelites the land of Canaan. It also demonstrates the consequences of opposing God's people and the ultimate victory of those who trust in Him. ========== PERSON(s) Hophni@1Sa.1.3-=H2652 Priest living at the time of United Monarchy Eli@1Sa.1.3-1Ki + Phinehas@1Sa.1.3- Tribe of Levi #A priest living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Sa.1.3;

Along with his brother Phinehas, Hophni was known for his corrupt behavior and disregard for the proper handling of the sacrifices and offerings brought to the tabernacle (1Sa.2.12-17). ¶The corrupt practices of Hophni and Phinehas led to the people's disillusionment with the priesthood and a decline in the spiritual life of Israel. As a consequence of their actions, a prophecy was given to Eli, stating that both of his sons would die on the same day (1Sa.2.34). ¶During a battle against the Philistines, the Israelites brought the Ark of the Covenant from Shiloh to the battlefield, accompanied by Hophni and Phinehas (1Sa.4.4). However, the Israelites were defeated, the Ark was captured, and both Hophni and Phinehas were killed, fulfilling the prophecy (1Sa.4.11). When Eli heard the news of his sons' deaths and the capture of the Ark, he fell backward from his seat, broke his neck, and died (1Sa.4.17-18). ¶The story of Hophni serves as a warning against the abuse of religious authority and the consequences of disobedience to God's laws. It also highlights the importance of proper worship and the handling of sacred objects in maintaining a right relationship with God. ========== PERSON(s) Hophra@Jer.37.5-Ezk=H6547R Pharaoh living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Egypt #A Pharaoh of Egypt living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at Jer.37.5;

He is mentioned in several passages in the books of Jeremiah and Ezekiel. ¶When the Babylonians besieged Jerusalem, King Zedekiah of Judah sought help from Hophra, hoping that the Egyptian army would come to their aid (Jer.37.5). However, the Egyptians' intervention was short-lived, and they withdrew when the Babylonians temporarily lifted the siege to confront them (Jer.37.7, 11). ¶The prophet Ezekiel prophesied against Hophra and Egypt, declaring that God would bring judgment upon them for their pride and for failing to provide effective support to Judah (Ezekiel 29-32). Ezekiel's prophecies depicted Hophra as a great crocodile in the Nile, symbolizing his power and influence, but also his downfall (Ezk.29.3-5, 32:2). ¶Jeremiah also prophesied that Hophra would be delivered into the hands of his enemies, just as King Zedekiah of Judah was given into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon (Jer.44.30). ¶Historically, Hophra (also known as Apries) ruled Egypt from 589 to 570 BC. He was known for his military campaigns and his support of the Phoenician city of Tyre against the Babylonians. However, he faced internal challenges and was eventually overthrown by Amasis II, one of his generals. ¶The biblical account of Hophra highlights the political and military dynamics of the time, as well as the prophetic warnings against relying on human alliances instead of trusting in God. ========== PERSON(s) Horam@Jos.10.33=H2036 King living before Israel's Monarchy + Canaan #A king in Canaan living before Israel's Monarchy, only mentioned at Jos.10.33;

However, Joshua and the Israelites defeated Horam and his people, striking them down and leaving no survivors. ¶The defeat of Horam and the capture of Gezer were part of Joshua's campaign to conquer the southern cities of Canaan. The victory over Gezer and its king demonstrated the power of God fighting on behalf of the Israelites and the fulfillment of His promise to give them the land. ¶The brief mention of Horam in the Bible serves to highlight the Israelites' success in conquering the Canaanite cities and the faithfulness of God in helping them achieve their goal of settling in the Promised Land. ========== PERSON(s) Hori@Gen.14.6-1Ch=H2753H Edomite living at the time of the Patriarchs Lotan@Gen.36.20-1Ch + Hemam@Gen.36.22-1Ch Edom #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.36.22;

They are first mentioned in Gen.14.6, where they are described as living in the hill country of Seir. ¶In Genesis 36, the Horites are listed among the descendants of Seir the Horite (Gen.36.20-21, 29-30). This genealogy suggests that the Horites were a distinct people group with their own clans and leaders. ¶According to Deu.2.12 and Deu.2.22, the Horites previously lived in Seir but were later dispossessed by the descendants of Esau. This indicates that the Edomites conquered or absorbed the Horite population as they established themselves in the region. ¶The Horites are also mentioned in 1Ch.1.39, which parallels the genealogy found in Genesis 36. ¶Although little is known about the Horite culture and society, their mention in the Bible provides insight into the various people groups that inhabited the region of Seir before the Israelites and the Edomites. It also demonstrates the fulfillment of God's promise to give the land to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (or 'Jacob'), even as other nations were displaced. ========== PERSON(s) Hori@Num.13.5=H2753G Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness + Shaphat@Num.13.5 > #A man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Num.13.5;

Hori was the representative chosen from the tribe of Simeon. ¶The twelve spies, including Hori, spent forty days exploring the land of Canaan (Num.13.25). Upon their return, they brought back samples of the land's produce, including a cluster of grapes so large that it had to be carried on a pole between two men (Num.13.23).

They are named after their place of origin, Horonaim, a city in Moab. ¶Sanballat the Horonite is mentioned as one of the main adversaries of Nehemiah (Neh.2.10, 19). Along with Tobiah the Ammonite and Geshem the Arab, Sanballat mocked and ridiculed the Jews' efforts to rebuild the city walls (Neh.2.19). They also conspired to attack Jerusalem and create confusion among the builders (Neh.4.7-8). ¶In Neh.13.28, it is mentioned that one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite. This marriage alliance was a cause of concern for Nehemiah, as it compromised the purity and integrity of the priesthood. Nehemiah took action by driving the man away from his presence. ¶The opposition of the Horonites and their allies reflects the political and social tensions that existed during the time of Nehemiah. The rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls was not only a physical task but also a symbolic act of restoring the Jewish identity and autonomy in the face of foreign opposition. ========== PERSON(s) Hosah@1Ch.16.38-=H2621H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Shimri@1Ch.26.10, Hilkiah@1Ch.26.11, Tebaliah@1Ch.26.11, Zechariah@1Ch.26.11 > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.16.38;

He served alongside Obed-Edom and his sixty-eight associates. ¶Hosah is also mentioned in 1 Chronicles 26, which provides more details about the organization of the gatekeepers. In verse 10, it is stated that Hosah, from the Merarite clan, had sons who were also gatekeepers. His firstborn son was Shimri, who was made the chief by his father, even though he was not the firstborn (1Ch.26.11). ¶According to 1Ch.26.16, Hosah and his sons were assigned to guard the West Gate and the Shalleketh Gate on the ascending highway. This suggests that they had specific responsibilities in maintaining the security and order of the tabernacle complex. ¶The role of the gatekeepers was crucial in ensuring the sanctity and proper functioning of the tabernacle. They were responsible for guarding the entrances, regulating access, and maintaining order. Hosah's inclusion in the list of gatekeepers highlights the importance of this role and the dedication of the Levites in serving God and His people. ========== PERSON(s) Hosea@Hos.1.1-Rom=H1954J Prophet living at the time of Divided Monarchy Beeri@Hos.1.1 + Gomer@Hos.1.3 Jezreel@Hos.1.4, Lo-ruhamah@Hos.1.6-, Lo-ammi@Hos.1.9 > #A prophet living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at Hos.1.1;

He is the author of the book that bears his name. ¶The opening verse of the book of Hosea (Hos.1.1) provides the historical context of his ministry, stating that he prophesied during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the reign of Jeroboam II, king of Israel. ¶Hosea's prophetic ministry was characterized by his unique personal life, which served as a symbolic representation of God's relationship with Israel. In Hos.1.2, God commanded Hosea to marry a promiscuous woman named Gomer, who would be unfaithful to him. This marriage symbolized Israel's unfaithfulness to God and their spiritual adultery through idolatry. ¶Throughout the book, Hosea confronts Israel's sin, including their idolatry, social injustice, and political corruption. He calls the people to repent and return to God, emphasizing God's steadfast love and desire to restore His relationship with them. ¶In Rom.9.25, the Apostle Paul quotes from Hos.2.23, applying the prophet's words to the inclusion of the Gentiles in God's plan of salvation. This demonstrates the enduring significance of Hosea's message, which extends beyond the immediate context of Israel to the universal scope of God's love and redemption. ========== PERSON(s) Hoshaiah@Jer.42.1-=H1955H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Jezaniah@2Ki.25.23-Jer > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at Jer.42.1;

They sought Jeremiah's counsel, asking him to pray to God for guidance on whether they should remain in Judah or go to Egypt. ¶Jeremiah prayed to God and received a message instructing the people to stay in Judah, assuring them of God's protection and blessing if they obeyed (Jer.42.7-22). However, in Jer.43.2, Hoshaiah is mentioned again, this time as one of the arrogant men who accused Jeremiah of speaking falsely and urged the people to disobey his message and go to Egypt. ¶Despite Jeremiah's warnings, the military leaders, including Hoshaiah, and the people did not listen to him. They went to Egypt, taking Jeremiah and his scribe Baruch with them (Jer.43.4-7). This disobedience led to the fulfillment of Jeremiah's prophecies of judgment against those who sought refuge in Egypt (Jeremiah 44). ¶The story of Hoshaiah highlights the tension between seeking God's guidance and following one's own desires, as well as the consequences of disobeying God's word spoken through His prophets.

This genealogy is given in the context of Jacob's family going down to Egypt during the time of Joseph. ¶In Num.26.39, Huppim is referred to as Hupham, and his descendants are called the Huphamites. This passage is part of the census taken by Moses and Eleazar in the plains of Moab, near the Jordan across from Jericho. The census was conducted to determine the number of men from each tribe who were able to go to war. ¶In 1Ch.8.5, Huppim is mentioned as one of the sons of Bela, who was a son of Benjamin. This genealogy is part of a larger record of the descendants of Benjamin. ¶The variations in the name (Huppim, Hupham, or Huram) may be due to different spellings or pronunciations used in different traditions or may refer to the same person. ¶Apart from being mentioned in these genealogies, no other information is provided about Huppim in the Bible.

Each governor was responsible for providing food for the royal household for one month out of the year. ¶The twelve districts were strategically located throughout the kingdom of Israel, ensuring a steady supply of provisions for the king's court. Hur's specific district is not mentioned in the text. ¶The appointment of district governors was part of Solomon's administrative strategy to organize and manage the resources of his kingdom effectively. By dividing the land into twelve districts and appointing governors over each one, Solomon was able to ensure that the needs of his royal household were met and that the resources of the land were efficiently utilized. ¶The fact that Hur is mentioned by name suggests that he was a person of some importance or influence, as he was entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing a district and providing for the king's needs. ¶Apart from this brief mention in 1Ki.4.8, no other information is provided about Hur in the Bible.

He is mentioned several times in the books of Exodus and Chronicles. ¶In Exo.17.10-12, Hur is described as one of the two men who accompanied Moses to the top of a hill during the battle against the Amalekites. Along with Aaron, Hur supported Moses' arms, which were holding the staff of God. As long as Moses' hands were raised, Israel prevailed in the battle. Hur's presence and assistance were crucial in securing the victory. ¶Later, in Exo.24.14, Moses appointed Hur, along with Aaron, to oversee the people while he went up to Mount Sinai to receive the tablets of the law from God. This indicates that Hur was a trusted and respected leader among the Israelites. ¶Hur is also mentioned in the context of the construction of the tabernacle. In Exo.31.2 and Exo.35.30, God appointed Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, as the chief artisan responsible for crafting the tabernacle and its furnishings. This connection suggests that Hur's family was skilled in craftsmanship and held a prominent position within the tribe of Judah. ========== PERSON(s) Hur@Neh.3.9=H2354I Man living at the time of Exile and Return + Rephaiah@Neh.3.9 > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.3.9;

These kings were slain in battle as part of a divine judgment against the Midianites for their role in seducing the Israelites into idolatry and sexual immorality (Num.25.1-18). ¶In Numbers 31, God commanded Moses to take vengeance on the Midianites. The Israelite army, led by Phinehas, went to war against Midian and killed all the men, including the five kings: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba (Num.31.7-8). ¶The territory of these Midianite kings was later allocated to the tribes of Reuben and Gad as part of their inheritance in the Promised Land (Jos.13.21). This indicates that the defeat of these kings and the conquest of their land was a significant event in Israel's history, marking their victory over their enemies and the fulfillment of God's promise to give them the land of Canaan. ¶The biblical account of Hur and the other Midianite kings serves as an example of God's judgment against those who oppose His people and lead them astray. It also demonstrates the importance of obedience to God's commands and the consequences of idolatry and immorality. ========== PERSON(s) Huri@1Ch.5.14=H2359 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Jaroah@1Ch.5.14 + Abihail@1Ch.5.14 Tribe of Gad #A man from the tribe of Gad living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.5.14;

He played a significant role during the rebellion of David's son Absalom, as recorded in 2 Samuel 15-17. ¶When David fled from Jerusalem due to Absalom's rebellion, Hushai met him on the Mount of Olives, mourning and showing his loyalty to the king (2Sa.15.32). David instructed Hushai to return to Jerusalem and feign allegiance to Absalom, in order to counter the advice of Ahithophel, Absalom's counselor (2Sa.15.34). ¶Hushai followed David's plan and gained Absalom's trust (2Sa.16.16-19). When Ahithophel advised Absalom to pursue David immediately, Absalom sought Hushai's opinion (2Sa.17.5-7). Hushai cleverly countered Ahithophel's advice, suggesting that Absalom gather a larger army before pursuing David (2Sa.17.8-13). Absalom followed Hushai's advice, which bought David time to regroup and ultimately led to Absalom's defeat (2Sa.17.14-15). ¶Hushai's loyalty and wise counsel were instrumental in helping David overcome the crisis of Absalom's rebellion. His actions demonstrate the importance of faithful friends and advisors, especially in times of difficulty. ¶In addition to his role during Absalom's rebellion, Hushai is mentioned in 1Ki.4.16 as one of Solomon's twelve district governors, responsible for providing provisions for the king and his household. He is also listed in 1Ch.27.33 as one of David's counselors, along with Jonathan, David's uncle. ¶Hushai's service to both David and Solomon highlights his enduring loyalty to the Davidic dynasty and his valued role as a trusted advisor to the kings of Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Husham@Gen.36.34-1Ch=H2367 King living at the time of the Patriarchs + Edom #A king of Edom living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.36.34;

He was one of the kings who reigned in Edom before any Israelite king reigned. ¶According to the records, Husham succeeded Jobab as king of Edom. He was from the land of the Temanites, a region within Edom known for its wisdom (Jer.49.7; Oba.1.9). ¶After Husham's death, Hadad, son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the country of Moab, succeeded him as king. The mention of these kings and their territories provides insight into the political structure and history of Edom. ¶The inclusion of Edomite kings in the biblical genealogies is significant, as it demonstrates the relationship between the Edomites and the Israelites.

These mighty warriors were an elite group of soldiers known for their exceptional bravery and military prowess. ¶In 1Ch.27.11, Sibbecai the Hushathite is mentioned as the leader of the eighth division of David's army, which served the king for one month out of the year. ¶Another Hushathite, Mebunnai, is mentioned in 2Sa.23.27 as one of David's mighty warriors. However, in the parallel passage in 1Ch.11.29, he is called Sibbecai, suggesting that Mebunnai may have been another name for Sibbecai or a scribal variation. ¶The Hushathites' repeated mention in the context of David's mighty warriors and military leaders indicates that they were a family or clan known for their skill in battle and their loyalty to the king.

The tribe of Dan, one of the twelve tribes, is mentioned in this context. ¶However, the identity of Aher is unclear, as this name does not appear elsewhere in the Bible. Some scholars suggest that Aher may be a reference to the tribe of Dan itself or a clan within the tribe. ¶The mention of Hushim as a son of Aher may indicate that he was a significant figure within the tribe of Dan or that his descendants formed a notable clan within the tribe. ¶Apart from this brief mention in the genealogy, no other information is provided about Hushim, son of Aher, in the Bible.

The inclusion of Hushim in this genealogy indicates that he was part of the Benjamite clan, even though he was born in Moab. ¶The mention of Shaharaim's wives and his children born in Moab suggests that there may have been a period of Benjamite migration or exile to Moab at some point in their history. However, the exact circumstances and timing of this event are not specified in the text. ¶The genealogical records in Chronicles serve to establish the lineage and family connections of the Israelites, particularly in the post-exilic period when many of them were returning to their homeland and seeking to reestablish their identity as God's people. ========== PERSON(s) Hushim@Gen.46.23-Num=H2366B Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Dan@Gen.30.6-1Ch + Tribe of Dan #A man from the tribe of Dan living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Gen.46.23;

This suggests that Hushim was also known as Shuham, and his descendants formed a clan within the tribe of Dan. ¶The census in Numbers 26 was taken after the Israelites had wandered in the wilderness for 40 years and were preparing to enter the Promised Land. The purpose of the census was to determine the military strength of each tribe and to allocate the land inheritance accordingly. ¶The Shuhamites, as descendants of Hushim (Shuham), would have been part of the tribe of Dan and would have received their portion of the land inheritance in Canaan. ¶The variations in the name (Hushim and Shuham) may be due to different spellings or pronunciations used in different traditions or may reflect changes in the name over time. ========== PERSON(s) Hymenaeus@1Ti.1.20-2Ti=G5211 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at 1Ti.1.20;

This suggests that Hymenaeus had engaged in blasphemous speech or teachings that were contrary to the gospel. By handing him over to Satan, Paul likely meant that he had removed Hymenaeus from the protection and fellowship of the church, allowing him to experience the consequences of his sin with the hope that he would repent and return to the truth. ¶In 2Ti.2.17, Hymenaeus is mentioned along with Philetus as individuals who had departed from the truth and were promoting the false teaching that the resurrection had already taken place. This heretical view was undermining the faith of some believers. Paul compares their false teaching to gangrene, emphasizing its destructive nature and the need to confront it. ¶These passages highlight the importance of maintaining sound doctrine and the need to address false teachings that can lead people astray. They also demonstrate the role of church discipline in correcting those who persist in promoting views that are contrary to the gospel. ========== PERSON(s) Ibhar@2Sa.5.15-1Ch=H2984 David's son living at the time of United Monarchy David@Rut.4.17-Rev + Jerusalem_wives@2Sa.5.13 Amnon@2Sa.3.2-1Ch, Chileab@2Sa.3.3-1Ch, Absalom@2Sa.3.3-Psa, Adonijah@2Sa.3.4-1Ch, Shephatiah@2Sa.3.4-1Ch, Ithream@2Sa.3.5-1Ch, Shammua@2Sa.5.14-1Ch, Shobab@2Sa.5.14-1Ch, Nathan@2Sa.5.14-Luk, Solomon@2Sa.5.14-Act, Elishua@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Nepheg@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Japhia@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Elishama@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Eliada@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Eliphelet@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Tamar@2Sa.13.1-1Ch, Elpelet@1Ch.3.6-, Nogah@1Ch.3.7-, Jerimoth@2Ch.11.18 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.5.15;

His birth is recorded in the context of a tragic event in Israel's history. ¶In 1 Samuel 4, the Israelites were defeated by the Philistines in battle, and the ark of the covenant, a symbol of God's presence, was captured. Upon hearing the news of the ark's capture and the deaths of her husband Phinehas and her father-in-law Eli, Ichabod's mother went into labor and gave birth to him. As she lay dying, she named the child Ichabod, saying, "The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured." ¶The name Ichabod means "no glory" or "where is the glory?" reflecting the despair and sense of loss felt by the Israelites at the capture of the ark and the death of the priestly family. The name serves as a reminder of the spiritual and moral decline of Israel during this period. ¶In 1Sa.14.3, Ichabod's brother Ahijah is mentioned as serving as a priest in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. This suggests that despite the tragic circumstances surrounding Ichabod's birth, the priestly lineage continued through his brother. ¶The story of Ichabod's birth highlights the importance of the ark of the covenant in Israelite worship and the devastating consequences of its capture by the Philistines.

He is described as being "at the place Casiphia," suggesting that he held a position of authority or influence there. ¶In the context of Ezra 8, Ezra is preparing to lead a group of Israelites back to Jerusalem from Babylon. As part of his preparations, Ezra sends a message to Iddo and his brethren, requesting that they provide Levites to assist in the temple service. The text states that Ezra "told them what to say to Iddo and his brethren the temple servants at the place Casiphia, namely, to send us ministers for the house of our God." ¶Iddo's role in this passage suggests that he was responsible for overseeing a community of Levites and temple servants in Casiphia. Ezra's request indicates that Iddo had the authority to send Levites to assist in the temple service in Jerusalem. ¶The fact that Ezra specifically reached out to Iddo and the Levites in Casiphia highlights the importance of the Levitical role in the restoration of temple worship after the Babylonian exile. It also suggests that there were Jewish communities outside of Jerusalem that maintained their religious identity and were willing to support the rebuilding efforts in Jerusalem. ¶Apart from this brief mention in Ezra 8, no other details are provided about Iddo's life or his role as a leader in Casiphia. However, his inclusion in the narrative emphasizes the significance of the Levites in the restoration of Jewish worship and the cooperation between Jewish communities in Babylon and Jerusalem during the post-exilic period. ========== PERSON(s) Iddo@Neh.12.4-=H5714K Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Neh.12.4;

He is listed among the priests who came back to Jerusalem to help rebuild the city and restore the temple worship. ¶In Neh.12.4, Iddo is mentioned along with other priests such as Shecaniah, Rehum, and Meremoth, who were among the first to return to Jerusalem. This suggests that Iddo was a prominent figure among the returning priests and played a significant role in the restoration of the temple and its services. ¶Later, in Neh.12.16, Iddo is mentioned again, this time as the head of a priestly family during the time of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua. Jeshua was the high priest who had returned with Zerubbabel. This indicates that Iddo's family continued to serve as priests in the restored temple, and he held a leadership position among them. ¶The fact that Iddo is also referred to as Adaia suggests that he may have had two names or that the names were used interchangeably. This was not uncommon in ancient times, especially during the post-exilic period when many Jews had both Hebrew and Babylonian names. ¶Iddo's involvement in the restoration of the temple and his leadership role among the priests highlight the importance of the priestly families in maintaining the religious life of the Jewish community after the exile. The mention of his name in the context of the returning priests and the priestly families also emphasizes the continuity of the priestly lineage and their dedication to serving God in the restored temple. ========== PERSON(s) Igal@1Ch.3.22=H3008I Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shemaiah@1Ch.3.22 + Hattush@1Ch.3.22, Bariah@1Ch.3.22, Neariah@1Ch.3.22-, Shaphat@1Ch.3.22 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.3.22;

The other sons of Shecaniah mentioned in the verse are Shemaiah, Hattush, Bariah, Neariah, and Shaphat. ¶The genealogical record in 1 Chronicles 3 traces the royal line of David, focusing on his descendants who were kings of Judah, as well as those who continued the lineage after the Babylonian exile.

Zobah was an Aramean kingdom located northeast of Israel, in the region of modern-day Syria.

Moses selected twelve men, one from each of the twelve tribes of Israel, to undertake this mission. Igal was selected to represent the tribe of Issachar. ¶The twelve scouts were instructed to explore the land, assess its fertility, and gather information about the inhabitants and their cities. After forty days, they returned with their report, bringing back samples of the land's produce, including a cluster of grapes so large that it had to be carried on a pole between two men (Num.13.23-25). ¶However, ten of the scouts gave a discouraging report, emphasizing the strength of the inhabitants and the fortifications of their cities. Only Caleb and Joshua, representing the tribes of Judah and Ephraim, respectively, encouraged the people to trust in God and take possession of the land (Num.13.30-33). ¶As a result of the negative report, the Israelites rebelled against God and refused to enter Canaan. Consequently, God declared that the generation that had left Egypt would not enter the Promised Land, with the exception of Caleb and Joshua (Num.14.20-24). ¶Although Igal's specific role in the scouting mission is not elaborated upon, his inclusion in the list of scouts highlights the importance of the twelve tribes in the early history of Israel and their participation in significant events such as the exploration of Canaan. ========== PERSON(s) Igdaliah@Jer.35.4=H3012 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Hanan@Jer.35.4 > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Jer.35.4;

Micaiah is known for his unwavering commitment to speaking the truth, even when it was unpopular or unwelcome. ¶In 1 Kings 22 and 2 Chronicles 18, King Ahab of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah are preparing to go to battle against the Arameans at Ramoth-gilead. Ahab gathers his prophets, who all prophesy victory for the king. However, Jehoshaphat asks if there is another prophet of the Lord who can be consulted. ¶Ahab reluctantly mentions Micaiah, son of Imlah, but expresses his disdain for him, saying, "I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil" (1Ki.22.8; 2Ch.18.7). ¶Despite Ahab's reluctance, Micaiah is summoned and initially seems to prophesy victory for the kings. However, when pressed to speak the truth, Micaiah reveals that he saw a vision of Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd, indicating that Ahab would be killed in battle (1Ki.22.17; 2Ch.18.16). ¶Micaiah's prophecy angers Ahab, who orders him to be imprisoned and fed with minimal food and water until the king returns safely from battle. However, Micaiah stands firm, declaring that if Ahab returns in peace, then the Lord has not spoken through him (1Ki.22.27-28; 2Ch.18.26-27). ¶Although Imlah himself is not mentioned beyond being identified as Micaiah's father, his son's role as a prophet and his unwavering commitment to speaking the truth, even in the face of opposition from the king, suggests that Imlah may have raised his son with a strong faith in God and a commitment to integrity. ========== PERSON(s) Immer@1Ch.24.14-Jer=H0564H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A priest living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.24.14;

In 1Ch.24.14, Immer is listed as the sixteenth of the twenty-four priestly divisions appointed by King David to serve in the temple. Each division was responsible for serving in the temple for a week at a time, twice a year. ¶The descendants of Immer are mentioned in Ezr.2.37 and Neh.7.40 among the priests who returned to Jerusalem from the Babylonian exile. In these passages, the Immerites are listed alongside other priestly families, indicating that they had maintained their priestly lineage and duties even during the exile. ¶In Ezr.10.20, some of the descendants of Immer are mentioned among the priests who had married foreign women, which was against the Law of God. As part of the religious reforms led by Ezra, these priests were required to send away their foreign wives and children to maintain the purity of the priestly lineage. ¶The Immerites are also mentioned in Jer.20.1, where Pashhur, the son of Immer, is identified as a priest and a temple official. Pashhur had Jeremiah beaten and put in stocks for prophesying against Jerusalem and the temple. This incident highlights the tension between the prophetic message and the religious establishment during the time of Jeremiah. ¶The repeated mention of the Immerites in various contexts throughout the Old Testament suggests that they were a significant priestly family that played a role in the religious life of Israel, both before and after the Babylonian exile.

The passage mentions Adaiah, son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah, from the sons of Immer, who was one of the chief officials in the house of God (1Ch.9.12). ¶Similarly, in Nehemiah 11, which records the resettlement of Jerusalem after the exile, the descendants of Immer are again mentioned among the priests. The passage lists Amashsai, son of Azarel, son of Ahzai, son of Meshillemoth, son of Immer (Neh.11.13). ¶The repeated mention of the Immerites in the post-exilic records suggests that they were a significant priestly family who played a role in the restoration of Jerusalem and the temple. As priests, they would have been responsible for conducting the temple services, offering sacrifices, and teaching the people the Law of God. ¶The fact that the Immerites are mentioned alongside other prominent priestly families, such as the descendants of Jedaiah and Jachin, indicates that they held a respected position within the priestly community. ¶The name Immer means "he has said" or "he has spoken" in Hebrew, possibly reflecting the family's role in speaking and teaching the word of God to the people. ========== PERSON(s) Immer@Neh.3.29=H0564J Man living at the time of Exile and Return + Zadok@Neh.3.29 > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.3.29;

He was appointed as an overseer of the freewill offerings brought to the temple. ¶During Hezekiah's reign, the king initiated significant religious reforms aimed at restoring proper worship and removing idolatry from the land. As part of these reforms, Hezekiah organized the priests and Levites and assigned them specific duties in the temple service. ¶Imnah, along with other Levites, was entrusted with the responsibility of receiving and distributing the freewill offerings that the people brought to the temple. These offerings included grain, new wine, oil, honey, and other produce, as well as dedicated things and tithes. ¶The Levites were responsible for ensuring that these offerings were properly stored and distributed among the priests and their families according to their divisions. This system of organization and distribution was essential for the maintenance of the temple and the support of the priestly families. ¶Imnah's specific role as an overseer of the freewill offerings highlights the importance of the Levites in the administration and functioning of the temple. It also underscores the significance of the people's willingness to contribute to the temple service and support the religious life of the community. ¶Apart from this brief mention in 2 Chronicles 31, no other details are provided about Imnah's life or his other responsibilities as a Levite.

God made a covenant with him, renewing the promises given to Abraham. @Article= Isaac was the long-promised son born to Abraham and Sarah in their old age, as recorded in Genesis. He was the child of the covenant, through whom God had promised to fulfill his purposes for Abraham's descendants (Gen.17.19,21). Isaac was circumcised on the eighth day (Gen.21.4) and grew up as Abraham's heir. ¶When he was a youth, God tested Abraham by commanding him to offer Isaac as a sacrifice (Gen.22). Abraham obeyed, but at the last moment God provided a ram as a substitute. This event foreshadowed God's provision of his own Son as the ultimate sacrifice. ¶Isaac married Rebekah, and they had twin sons, Esau and Israel (or 'Jacob') (Gen.25.21-26). Isaac favored Esau, while Rebekah favored Jacob, leading to family conflict. Jacob deceived Isaac into giving him the firstborn blessing (Gen.27). ¶Isaac settled in Gerar, where God confirmed to him the covenant promises (Gen.26.1-5). Like his father, he passed off his wife as his sister out of fear (Gen.26.7-11). He reopened Abraham's wells and dug new ones, showing his claim to the land. ¶Isaac died at the age of 180 and was buried by his sons (Gen.35.29). God is identified as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, linking Isaac to the patriarchal promises (Exo.3.6). The New Testament upholds Isaac as an example of faith (Heb.11.20) and miraculous birth (Gal.4.28-29). ========== PERSON(s) Isaiah@2Ki.19.2-Rom=H3470A Prophet living at the time of Divided Monarchy Amoz@2Ki.19.2-Isa + Shear-jashub@Isa.7.3, Maher-shalal-hash-baz@Isa.8.1- > #A prophet living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.19.2;

His prophecies are recorded in the biblical book bearing his name. @Article= Isaiah was one of the major prophets of the Old Testament, active during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah (Isa.1.1). He brought messages of judgment and hope, foretelling the Babylonian exile and the future restoration of God's people. ¶Isaiah advised kings in several crises, including the Syro-Ephraimite threat against Ahaz (Isa.7) and Sennacherib's invasion during Hezekiah's reign (2Ki.19, Isa.37). He also confronted Hezekiah for entertaining Babylonian envoys (2Ki.20, Isa.39). ¶Isaiah's prophecies contain strong themes of God's holiness, judgment against sin, and the coming of the Messianic king and Suffering Servant. Many of his prophecies were fulfilled in the life of Jesus Christ, as noted in the New Testament (e.g., Mat.4.14-16, Luk.4.17-21, Jhn.12.38-41). ¶Isaiah's ministry included dramatic prophetic signs, such as walking barefoot and naked for three years (Isa.20) and giving his sons symbolic names (Isa.7.3, 8.3). Jewish tradition says he was martyred by being sawn in two during Manasseh's evil reign (cf. Heb.11.37). Isaiah is considered one of the greatest literary prophets, and his book is sometimes called "the fifth Gospel" for its rich messianic imagery. ========== PERSON(s) Iscah@Gen.11.29=H3252 Woman living at the time of the Patriarchs Haran@Gen.11.26- + Lot@Gen.11.27-2Pe, Milcah@Gen.11.29- Early Patriarch #A woman living at the time of the Patriarchs, only mentioned at Gen.11.29;

Her mention in the genealogy establishes her as a relative of Abraham, but she does not appear to play any role in the narratives concerning him. Some Jewish traditions identify her with Sarah, Abraham's wife, but there is no clear evidence for this in the biblical text.

After Saul's death, Abner, the commander of Saul's army, took Ish-bosheth and made him king over Israel, while David reigned over Judah (2Sa.2.8-10). Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for two years. ¶During his reign, there was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David (2Sa.3.1). Abner became angry with Ish-bosheth and defected to David (2Sa.3.8-21). Later, two of Ish-bosheth's captains, Rechab and Baanah, assassinated him while he was resting in his bed. They brought his head to David, hoping for a reward, but David had them executed for their crime (2Sa.4.5-12). ¶After Ish-bosheth's death, all the tribes of Israel came to David and acknowledged him as king over all Israel (2Sa.5.1-3). The name "Ish-bosheth" means "man of shame," while "Eshbaal" means "man of Baal." The name change may reflect the biblical writer's perspective on the contrast between Ish-bosheth's weak rule and David's divinely appointed kingship. ========== PERSON(s) Ishhod@1Ch.7.18=H0379 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy husband_of_Hammolecheth@1Ch.7.18 + Hammolecheth@1Ch.7.18 Abiezer@1Ch.7.18, Mahlah@1Ch.7.18 Tribe of Manasseh #A man from the tribe of Manasseh living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.7.18;

He was born after his twin brother Esau (Gen. 25:24-26). ¶Jacob bought Esau's birthright for a bowl of stew when Esau was famished (Gen. 25:29-34). He then deceived his father Isaac into giving him the firstborn blessing (Gen. 27). To escape Esau's anger, Jacob fled to his uncle Laban in Paddan-aram (Gen. 28:1-5). ¶On the way, Jacob had a dream of a stairway to heaven at Bethel, where God confirmed the covenant promises to him (Gen. 28:10-22). Jacob worked for Laban for 14 years, marrying his daughters Leah and Rachel (Gen. 29). ¶Wanting to return home, Jacob left Paddan-aram with his family and flocks. On the way, he wrestled with God at Peniel and was renamed Israel, meaning "he struggles with God" (Gen. 32:22-32). Israel (or 'Jacob') reconciled with Esau and settled in Canaan (Gen. 33). ¶Jacob had twelve sons who became the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali, Gad and Asher (Gen. 35:23-26). ¶Jacob showed favoritism to Joseph, provoking his brothers to sell Joseph into slavery in Egypt (Gen. 37). Later, during a famine, Jacob's sons went to Egypt for food and were reconciled with Joseph, who had risen to power there (Gen. 42-46). ¶Jacob moved his whole family to Egypt, where he lived for 17 years (Gen. 47:28). Before his death, Jacob blessed Joseph's sons Ephraim and Manasseh (Gen. 48) and gave prophetic blessings to his own twelve sons (Gen. 49). He died at age 147 and was buried in Canaan (Gen. 49:33; 50:1-14). ¶God often identified Himself as the "God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" and reaffirmed His covenant promises to Jacob's descendants (e.g. Exo. 3:6,15). The nation of Israel took its name from Jacob and the Jewish people are his descendants. The name Jeshurun is used as a poetic name for Israel (Deut. 32:15; 33:5,26; Isa. 44:2). ========== PERSON(s) Issachar@1Ch.26.5=H3485H Levite living at the time of United Monarchy Obed-edom@2Sa.6.10-2Ch + Shemaiah@1Ch.26.4-, Jehozabad@1Ch.26.4, Joah@1Ch.26.4, Sachar@1Ch.26.4, Nethanel@1Ch.26.4, Ammiel@1Ch.26.5, Peullethai@1Ch.26.5 Tribe of Levi #A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.26.5;

His descendants became one of the twelve tribes of Israel. ¶In Jacob's blessing, Issachar was described as a "strong donkey" and "resting between the sheepfolds", indicating his tribe would be hardworking and content with an agrarian life (Gen. 49:14-15). ¶During the wilderness years, the tribe of Issachar was led by Nethanel son of Zuar (Num. 1:8; 2:5; 7:18; 10:15). They encamped on the east side of the tabernacle under the standard of Judah (Num. 2:5). ¶In the census taken in the wilderness of Sinai, the tribe of Issachar numbered 54,400 men aged 20 and over (Num. 1:28-29). In the second census on the plains of Moab they numbered 64,300 (Num. 26:25). ¶Issachar's allotment in Canaan included the fertile Jezreel Valley and was bordered by Manasseh, Asher, Zebulun and Jordan (Josh. 19:17-23). The Levitical cities in Issachar's territory were Kishion, Daberath, Jarmuth and En-gannim (Josh. 21:28-29). ¶The tribe of Issachar was commended for providing wise leadership during the time of David (1 Chr. 12:32). One of David's officers, Omri son of Michael, was from Issachar (1 Chr. 27:18). The tribe is also noted for being faithful to Hezekiah's Passover invitation (2 Chr. 30:18). ¶In Ezekiel's vision of the division of the restored land, Issachar is allotted the sixth portion (Ezek. 48:25-26). In John's apocalyptic vision, Issachar is one of the tribes sealed by God (Rev. 7:7). ========== PERSON(s) Isshiah@1Ch.12.6=H3449H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.12.6;

This occurred during the time of Ezra, who led a significant reform movement among the Jews who had returned from Babylonian exile. ¶Ezra discovered that many of the Israelites, including priests and Levites, had intermarried with the pagan peoples of the land, going against God's commands (Ezr.9.1-2). After Ezra's prayer of confession (Ezr.9.3-15), the people agreed to make a covenant to put away their foreign wives and children (Ezr.10.3). ¶Isshijah is listed among those who complied with this decision (Ezr.10.31).

He served as a priest alongside his brothers Nadab, Abihu, and Eleazar (Num.3.2). After the deaths of Nadab and Abihu for offering unauthorized fire before the Lord (Lev.10.1-2), Ithamar and Eleazar were warned not to mourn for them openly (Lev.10.6). ¶Ithamar assisted his father Aaron and his brother Eleazar in their priestly duties (Exo.28.1; Num.3.4). He was responsible for overseeing the Gershonites and Merarites, two of the Levite clans, in their tabernacle duties (Num.4.28,33). During the dedication of the tabernacle, Ithamar assisted Moses in receiving the offerings from the tribal leaders (Num.7.8). ¶Ithamar's descendants continued to serve as priests (1Ch.24.1-6). They were divided into divisions for their appointed duties, just as Aaron's other descendants were. One of Ithamar's notable descendants was Eli, who served as high priest and judge in Israel (1Sa.14.3; 1Ki.2.27). ¶In Ezr.8.2, a descendant of Ithamar named Daniel is mentioned among the priests who returned to Jerusalem from the Babylonian exile.

The verse reads, "The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh—an inspired utterance. This man's utterance to Ithiel: 'I am weary, God, but I can prevail.'" ¶The exact meaning and context of Ithiel in this passage are unclear. Some scholars suggest that Ithiel might be a student or disciple of Agur, to whom he is imparting his wisdom. Others propose that Ithiel could be another name for God, as the name means "God is with me." ¶Given the uncertainty surrounding the identity of Ithiel and the cryptic nature of the passage, it is difficult to draw firm conclusions about this individual. The mention of Ithiel in this context highlights the challenges of interpreting some of the more enigmatic passages in the Bible and the importance of studying them carefully in light of the overall biblical message. ========== PERSON(s) Ithmah@1Ch.11.46=H3495 Moabite warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Moab #A warrior of the Moabites living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.11.46;

He is specifically identified as the son of Merari through his son Beno. ¶This passage describes the organization of the Levites during the reign of King David, who divided them into groups for their various duties in the service of the temple (1Ch.24.1-19). The descendants of Merari, including Jaaziah, were among those assigned specific roles and responsibilities. ¶As a Levite, Jaaziah would have been involved in various aspects of worship and service in the tabernacle and later the temple. The Levites were responsible for assisting the priests, singing, playing musical instruments, and maintaining the sacred spaces. ¶The mention of Jaaziah in this genealogical record serves to demonstrate the continuity of the Levitical lineage and the organization of their duties during David's reign.

He was specifically chosen to play the bronze cymbals (1Ch.15.19). ¶The transportation of the ark to Jerusalem was a significant event in David's reign, as it symbolized the presence and worship of God in the capital city (1Ch.15.1-3). David carefully organized the Levites and assigned them various roles in this process, including carrying the ark, singing, and playing musical instruments (1Ch.15.16-24). ¶As a musician playing the bronze cymbals, Jaaziel (Aziel) would have been part of the joyful celebration and worship that accompanied the ark's journey. The use of musical instruments was an essential aspect of Israelite worship, and the Levites were skilled in their use (1Ch.15.16). ¶The mention of Jaaziel (Aziel) in this context highlights the importance of music and worship in the life of Israel and the specific roles assigned to the Levites in these celebrations. It also demonstrates David's careful attention to the details of worship and his desire to honor God through the proper handling of the ark and the organization of the Levites. ========== PERSON(s) Jabal@Gen.4.20=H2989 Man living at the time before the Flood Lamech@Gen.4.18- + Adah@Gen.4.19- Jubal@Gen.4.21, Tubal-cain@Gen.4.22, Naamah@Gen.4.22 Early Patriarch #A man living at the time before the Flood, only mentioned at Gen.4.20;

He is described as the ancestor or father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock, indicating that he was the first nomadic herdsman. ¶This brief description of Jabal appears in the genealogy of Cain, which traces the descendants of Adam and Eve's firstborn son. The genealogy highlights the development of various skills and occupations among Cain's descendants, including agriculture, music, and metalworking (Gen.4.17-22). ¶As the father of nomadic herdsmen, Jabal represents the beginning of a pastoral lifestyle, characterized by living in tents and moving with one's livestock to find suitable grazing areas. This way of life would have been distinct from the settled agricultural communities that were also developing at this time. ¶The mention of Jabal in this genealogy serves to demonstrate the diversity of human culture and the development of different ways of life in the early stages of human history.

He conspired against Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam II, and assassinated him in front of the people, thereby ending the dynasty of Jehu (2Ki.15.10). ¶After killing Zechariah, Jabesh became king of Israel, but his reign lasted only one month (2Ki.15.13). He was then killed by Menahem, the son of Gadi, who attacked Jabesh from Tirzah and succeeded him as king (2Ki.15.14). ¶The brief account of Jabesh's reign highlights the turbulent political climate in Israel during this period, characterized by frequent coups, assassinations, and short-lived kings. The northern kingdom of Israel was in a state of decline, facing internal strife and external threats from the growing power of Assyria. ¶Jabesh's actions in assassinating Zechariah and seizing the throne demonstrate the lack of stability and the disregard for the Davidic covenant, which had promised an enduring dynasty for David's descendants (2Sa.7.12-16). The rapid succession of kings and the violence associated with their rise and fall were indicative of the spiritual and moral decay in Israel, which would ultimately lead to the nation's downfall and exile. ========== PERSON(s) Jabez@1Ch.4.9-=H3258H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Koz@1Ch.4.8(?) + Anub@1Ch.4.8(?), Zobebah@1Ch.4.8(?), Harum@1Ch.4.8(?)

During this time, the Israelites had done evil in the sight of the Lord, and as a result, God allowed Jabin to overpower them. Jabin had a commander named Sisera, who led a powerful army with nine hundred chariots of iron (Jdg.4.2-3). ¶For twenty years, Jabin oppressed the Israelites, until they cried out to the Lord for help (Jdg.4.3). God raised up Deborah, a prophetess and judge, to deliver Israel. Deborah summoned Barak and instructed him to gather an army to fight against Sisera (Jdg.4.6-7). ¶Barak agreed to go only if Deborah would accompany him, to which she consented, but warned that the honor of the victory would go to a woman (Jdg.4.8-9). Deborah and Barak led the Israelite army against Sisera, and with the Lord's help, they defeated the Canaanite forces (Jdg.4.14-16). ¶Sisera fled on foot and sought refuge in the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite. Jael invited him in and covered him with a blanket, but while he slept, she drove a tent peg through his temple, killing him (Jdg.4.17-22). ¶On that day, God subdued Jabin before the Israelites, and they eventually destroyed him (Jdg.4.23-24). The defeat of Jabin and Sisera is also mentioned in Psalm Jdg.83.9 as an example of God's power to deliver His people from their enemies. ¶This account demonstrates the consequences of Israel's disobedience and the importance of crying out to God in times of oppression. It also highlights the role of women, such as Deborah and Jael, in God's plan of deliverance for His people. ========== PERSON(s) Jabin@Jos.11.1=H2985G King living before Israel's Monarchy + Canaan #A king in Canaan living before Israel's Monarchy, only mentioned at Jos.11.1;

When Jabin heard of Israel's victories over Jericho and Ai, he formed an alliance with the kings of Madon, Shimron, and Achshaph, along with other kings from the northern hill country and the Arabah. ¶This coalition gathered a large army, described as being "as numerous as the sand on the seashore," with many horses and chariots (Jos.11.4). They assembled at the Waters of Merom to fight against Israel. ¶However, the Lord assured Joshua of victory, promising to deliver the enemy into his hands (Jos.11.6). Joshua led the Israelites in a surprise attack, defeating the Canaanite coalition and pursuing them until no survivors remained (Jos.11.7-8). The Israelites also captured and destroyed the city of Hazor, which had been the head of all these kingdoms (Jos.11.10). ¶Jabin's story illustrates the opposition faced by the Israelites as they sought to take possession of the Promised Land.

The order of the divisions was determined by casting lots, and Jachin was selected as the head of the twenty-first division. ¶As the head of his division, Jachin would have been responsible for overseeing the priestly duties during his appointed time of service. These duties included offering sacrifices, burning incense, and maintaining the temple's holy vessels and furnishings. ¶The organization of the priestly divisions by David was an important step in establishing a structured and efficient system for temple worship.

Jacob is listed as the son of Matthan and the grandson of Eleazar (Mat.1.15). His father and a few generations before him are anonymous placeholders unnamed missing individuals that are necessray to increase the number of generations in Jesus' genealogy as recorded in Matthew to become the same as the number of generations in Luke. Matthew is known to deliberately miss out some individuals (kings Ahaziah, Joash and Amaziah) so it is likely he also missed out others, in order to create three sets of 14 generations (Mat.1.17). The inclusion of Jacob in this genealogy serves to establish Joseph's descent from the royal line of David, which was essential for Jesus to be recognized as the Messiah. ¶While little is known about Jacob's life, his place in the genealogy highlights the importance of family lineage in Jewish tradition and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah's descent from David (2Sa.7.12-16; Isa.9.6-7). ¶It is important to note that while Joseph was Jesus' legal father, he was not his biological father, as Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Mat.1.18-25).

This occurred during the time of Ezra, a priest and scribe who led a significant reform movement among the Jews who had returned from Babylonian exile. ¶Upon his return to Jerusalem, Ezra discovered that many of the Israelites, including priests and Levites, had intermarried with the pagan peoples of the land, going against God's commands (Ezr.9.1-2). This was seen as a serious violation of the covenant and a threat to the spiritual purity of the community. ¶After Ezra's prayer of confession and the people's repentance (Ezr.9.3-10.1), the Israelites made a covenant to put away their foreign wives and children (Ezr.10.2-5). Jaddai is listed among those who agreed to this decision and took an oath to follow through with the separation (Ezr.10.43). ¶No other details are provided about Jaddai's life, family, or the specific circumstances of his marriage to a foreign woman. His inclusion in this list, however, highlights the widespread nature of the intermarriage problem and the importance of the reforms initiated by Ezra to restore obedience to God's law and maintain the spiritual integrity of the Jewish community. ========== PERSON(s) Jaddua@Neh.10.21=H3037G Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.10.21;

He was the son of Jonathan and the grandson of Joiada, who were also high priests (Neh.12.11). ¶The genealogy in Nehemiah 12 traces the succession of high priests from the time of the first return from Babylonian exile under Jeshua until the reign of Darius the Persian, also known as Darius III or Darius Codomannus (336-331 BC). This places Jaddua's tenure as high priest in the late 4th century BC. ¶Neh.12.22 mentions that the Levites were recorded as heads of their fathers' houses during the days of Eliashib, Joiada, Johanan, and Jaddua, until the reign of Darius the Persian. This suggests that Jaddua served as high priest for a considerable time, possibly spanning the reigns of multiple Persian kings. ¶According to Jewish tradition, as recorded in Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews (XI 8.4-5), Jaddua was the high priest who met Alexander the Great when the Macedonian king approached Jerusalem during his conquest of the Persian Empire. However, this account is not mentioned in the biblical text. ¶Jaddua's inclusion in the genealogy of high priests in Nehemiah 12 highlights the continuity of the priestly line and the importance of the high priestly office in the post-exilic Jewish community.

He was one of the individuals to whom Jesus appeared after His resurrection (1Co.15.7). In the early church, James played a significant role in the Jerusalem Council, which addressed the issue of Gentile believers and the Mosaic Law (Act.15.13-21). He also received Paul and his companions during their visits to Jerusalem (Act.21.18; Gal.1.19; 2.9). James authored the New Testament epistle that bears his name, in which he emphasizes practical faith and good works (Jam 1.1).

He was the son of Mahalalel and the father of Enoch. Jared lived to the age of 962 years, making him the second-longest-lived person mentioned in the Bible after Methuselah. He was born when Mahalalel was 65 years old and had other sons and daughters in addition to Enoch. Jared's life is notable for being the father of Enoch, who is described as walking with God and being taken by God without experiencing death (Gen.5.22-24). In Luk.3.37, Jared is also mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the continuity of God's plan from creation to the coming of the Messiah. ========== PERSON(s) Jarha@1Ch.2.34-=H3398 Egyptian living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Ahlai@1Ch.2.31 Attai@1Ch.2.35- Egypt #A man of Egypt living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.2.34;

Sheshan had no sons, only daughters, so he gave one of his daughters in marriage to his servant Jarha. This marriage between an Israelite woman and an Egyptian servant was unusual, as it deviated from the typical practice of marrying within one's tribe or nation. The text does not provide any further details about Jarha's life or his relationship with Sheshan's daughter. However, their marriage resulted in the continuation of Sheshan's lineage, as Jarha's son Attai is listed among the descendants of Judah. This inclusion of Jarha in the genealogy of Judah demonstrates that God's plan can work through unexpected means and that one's background does not limit their potential to be part of God's people. ========== PERSON(s) Jarib@Ezr.10.18=H3402H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.10.18;

After the return from the Babylonian exile, Ezra discovered that many Israelites, including priests and Levites, had intermarried with the pagan peoples of the land. This was a violation of God's command to maintain their holiness and avoid the idolatrous practices of the surrounding nations. Ezra called for a solemn assembly, during which the people confessed their sin and agreed to separate from their foreign wives. Jarib is listed among the priests who had married foreign women and pledged to put them away. The text does not provide any further details about Jarib's life or the specific circumstances of his marriage. However, his inclusion in this list serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining purity and obedience to God's commands, even for those in positions of spiritual leadership. ========== PERSON(s) Jarib@Ezr.8.16=H3402G Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.8.16;

After returning from the Babylonian exile, Ezra was tasked with reestablishing proper worship in the Temple. To accomplish this, he needed Levites to perform the necessary duties. Ezra sent Jarib, along with other leaders, to Casiphia, where there was a community of Levites. The text does not provide any further details about Jarib's life or his specific role in this mission. However, his inclusion in the list of leaders suggests that he was a trusted and capable individual who could help Ezra in his efforts to restore the Temple worship. ========== PERSON(s) Jaroah@1Ch.5.14=H3386 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Gilead@1Ch.5.14 + Huri@1Ch.5.14 Tribe of Gad #A man from the tribe of Gad living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.5.14;

He is listed as the son of Gilead, who was a descendant of Gad, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. No further information is provided about Jaroah's life or his role within the tribe of Gad. The genealogy in this chapter traces the descendants of Gad, focusing on the families that settled in the region of Gilead. Jaroah's mention in the genealogy suggests that he was an ancestor of some of the Gadite families that lived in this area. ========== PERSON(s) Jashar@Jos.10.13-2Sa=H3477H Man living before Israel's Monarchy + > #A man living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Jos.10.13;

It appears to have been an ancient Hebrew collection of poetry or historical accounts that was known to the authors of the biblical texts. In Jos.10.13, the book of Jashar is referenced in connection with the miraculous event of the sun and moon standing still during Joshua's battle against the Amorite kings. In 2Sa.1.18, David's lament over the deaths of Saul and Jonathan is said to be written in the Book of Jashar. These references suggest that the Book of Jashar was a recognized source of poetry and historical information, although the book itself is not included in the biblical canon. The exact content and date of the Book of Jashar are unknown, and no copies of the book have been discovered. ========== PERSON(s) Jashen@2Sa.23.32-1Ch=H3464G Warrior living at the time of United Monarchy + son_of_Jashen@2Sa.23.32 > #A warrior living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.23.32;

The sons of Jashen are listed among these mighty men, indicating that they were valiant and capable soldiers. The text does not provide any further details about Jashen's life. The variation in the name between "Jashen" and "Hashem" may be due to textual differences or scribal errors in the transmission of the biblical text. ========== PERSON(s) Jashobeam@1Ch.12.6=H3434H Warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.12.6;

The Korahites were a Levitical family known for their role in the music and worship of the tabernacle and temple. During David's time of exile, many skilled warriors from various tribes came to support him, recognizing him as the rightful king of Israel. Jashobeam, along with other Korahites, was among these supporters. The text describes them as brave warriors, trained for battle and able to handle the shield and spear. Their presence at Ziklag demonstrates their loyalty to David and their willingness to stand with him during a difficult time. This Jashobeam is likely a different person from the mighty man of the same name mentioned in other passages, as the context and tribal affiliation differ. ========== PERSON(s) Jashobeam@2Sa.23.8-1Ch=H3434G Warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy Zabdiel@1Ch.27.2 + > #A warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.23.8;

In 1Ch.11.11, it is recorded that he wielded his spear against 300 men and killed them in a single encounter. This feat demonstrates his exceptional skill and bravery as a warrior. In 1Ch.27.2, Jashobeam is listed as the leader of the first division of David's army, which served the king in the first month of each year. This position indicates that he held a high rank and was trusted with significant military responsibilities. The variations in his name, "Jashobeam" and "Josheb-basshebet," may be due to textual differences or scribal errors in the transmission of the biblical text. ========== PERSON(s) Jashub@Ezr.10.29=H3437G Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.10.29;

He was born to Issachar, the ninth son of Israel (or 'Jacob') and Leah, during the time when the Israelites lived in Canaan. In Gen.46.13, Jashub is mentioned as one of the descendants of Jacob who went down to Egypt during the famine, along with his father and brothers. The name "Yob" appears to be an alternate spelling or pronunciation of his name. In Num.26.24, Jashub is listed as one of the clans of Issachar during the census taken in the wilderness.

He provided lodging for the missionaries while they preached in the city. However, their presence caused an uproar among the Jews who were jealous of Paul's success in converting people to Christianity. A mob formed and attacked Jason's house, seeking to bring Paul and Silas before the city authorities. When they could not find the missionaries, they dragged Jason and some other believers before the city officials, accusing them of harboring those who were defying Caesar's decrees. The officials took security from Jason and the others before releasing them. In Rom.16.21, Paul mentions a Jason as one of his fellow workers and relatives who send greetings to the church in Rome. It is unclear whether this is the same Jason who hosted Paul in Thessalonica, but the shared name and association with Paul suggest that it could be the same person. ========== PERSON(s) Jathniel@1Ch.26.2=H3496 Levite living at the time of Divided Monarchy Meshelemiah@1Ch.9.21- + Zechariah@1Ch.9.21-, Jediael@1Ch.26.2, Zebadiah@1Ch.26.2, Elam@1Ch.26.3, Jehohanan@1Ch.26.3, Eliehoenai@1Ch.26.3 Tribe of Levi #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.26.2;

In the Old Testament, Javan is associated with the trading of slaves (Jol.3.6), suggesting that the Greeks were involved in the slave trade. In the New Testament, the term "Greeks" (Hellenes) is used to refer to non-Jewish people, particularly those influenced by Greek culture. The Greeks are mentioned in various contexts, such as seeking Jesus (Jhn.12.20), attending synagogues (Act.14.1; 17.4; 18.4), and being among the first Gentile converts to Christianity (Act.16.1,3). The inclusion of Greeks in the early church underscores the universal nature of the gospel message (Rom.1.16; 10.12; Gal.3.28). The Greeks are also depicted as seekers of wisdom (1Co.1.22) and are contrasted with the Jews in terms of their religious and cultural background (Rom.1.14; 2.9-10; 1Co.10.32; 12.13). In Mrk.7.26, a Syrophoenician woman is described as a Greek, highlighting the widespread influence of Greek culture in the region. ========== PERSON(s) Jaziz@1Ch.27.31=H3151 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.27.31;

He was the son of Zerah and is listed as an ancestor of Asaph, one of the principal musicians and psalmists in King David's court. In verse 21, he is called Jeatherai, while in verse 41, he is referred to as Ethni. This discrepancy may be due to variations in spelling or copying of the text over time. As a Levite, Jeatherai would have been part of the tribe dedicated to assisting the priests in the tabernacle and temple services. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles 6 trace the lineage of the Levites, particularly those who served as musicians and singers in the temple worship. ========== PERSON(s) Jeberechiah@Isa.8.2=H3000 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Zechariah@Isa.8.2 > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Isa.8.2;

Isaiah was instructed to write this name on a large scroll and have it confirmed by reliable witnesses, including Jeberechiah and Uriah the priest. The presence of these witnesses served to validate the prophecy and emphasize its importance. ========== PERSON(s) Jebusites@Gen.10.16-Zec=H2983G People from Jebus(?)

They are first mentioned in Gen.10.16 and Gen.15.21 as descendants of Canaan, the grandson of Noah. When the Israelites left Egypt, God promised to drive out the Jebusites and other Canaanite tribes from the land (Exo.3.8, 17; 13.5; 23.23; 33.2; 34.11). During the conquest of Canaan under Joshua, the Jebusites were among the tribes that the Israelites were commanded to utterly destroy (Deu.7.1; 20.17). However, the Jebusites proved to be formidable opponents, and the Israelites were unable to completely drive them out of Jerusalem (Jos.15.63; Jdg.1.21). The Jebusites continued to live among the Israelites during the time of the judges (Jdg.3.5; 19.11). It was not until the reign of King David that the Jebusites were finally defeated, and Jerusalem was captured and made the capital of Israel (2Sa.5.6-8; 1Ch.11.4-6). After their defeat, some Jebusites remained in the land and were subjected to forced labor by Solomon (1Ki.9.20; 2Ch.8.7). The site where the temple was built, Mount Moriah, was purchased by David from Araunah the Jebusite (2Sa.24.16-18; 1Ch.21.15-28; 2Ch.3.1). The Jebusites are mentioned among the foreign peoples with whom the Israelites intermarried, contrary to God's command (Ezr.9.1). In Zec.9.7, there is a prophetic promise that the Jebusites will be incorporated into God's people, symbolizing the inclusion of Gentiles in the future messianic kingdom. ========== PERSON(s) Jecoliah@2Ki.15.2-2Ch=H3203 Woman living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Amaziah@2Ki.12.21-2Ch Uzziah@2Ki.14.21-Mat > #A woman living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.15.2;

He is described as a king who did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, although he did not remove the high places where people offered sacrifices and burned incense. Uzziah's reign was marked by military successes and a strengthening of Judah's defenses. However, when he attempted to burn incense in the temple, which was a task reserved for the priests, he was struck with leprosy and had to live in isolation until his death. Jecoliah's mention as Uzziah's mother highlights the importance of maternal lineage in the royal succession and the historical record of Judah's kings. ========== PERSON(s) Jedaiah@1Ch.24.7-Neh=H3048H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A priest living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.24.7;

The army had just returned from a successful campaign against Judah, bringing back a large number of captives and plunder. However, Jehizkiah, along with Azariah, Berechiah, and Amasa, confronted the army and urged them not to bring the captives into Samaria, warning that this would only add to Israel's guilt before God. They argued that the army's actions had already provoked God's anger and that taking the captives would further incur his wrath. As a result of their intervention, the army released the captives, provided them with clothing and food, and sent them back to Judah. Jehizkiah's actions demonstrate his concern for righteousness and his willingness to stand up against wrongdoing, even in the face of military success. ========== PERSON(s) Jehoaddah@1Ch.8.36-=H3085 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Ahaz@1Ch.8.35- + Alemeth@1Ch.8.36-, Azmaveth@1Ch.8.36-, Zimri@1Ch.8.36- Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.8.36;

The passage describes Ezra's response to the issue of intermarriage between the Israelites and the surrounding nations. Upon learning of this problem, Ezra tore his garments, pulled out some of his hair and beard, and sat down in shock. He then went to the chamber of Jehohanan, son of Eliashib, where he spent the night, mourning and fasting because of the unfaithfulness of the exiles. The text does not provide any further details about Jehohanan himself, but the mention of his chamber suggests that he may have held a significant position within the temple or the priesthood. The fact that Ezra chose to spend the night in Jehohanan's chamber may also indicate a close relationship or a shared concern for the spiritual well-being of the community. ========== PERSON(s) Jehohanan@Neh.12.13=H3076P Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.12.13;

This chapter lists the priests and Levites who served in Jerusalem during the high priesthood of Joiakim, providing a record of the religious leadership after the return from the Babylonian exile. Jehohanan is listed among the heads of the priestly families, indicating that he was a prominent figure in the priestly hierarchy. The text does not provide any further details about Jehohanan's specific role or responsibilities, but his position as the head of a priestly family suggests that he would have been involved in the various duties associated with the temple service, such as offering sacrifices, teaching the law, and maintaining the sacred space. The mention of Jehohanan in this context helps to establish the continuity of the priestly lineage and the restoration of the temple worship after the exile. ========== PERSON(s) Jehohanan@Neh.12.42=H3076Q Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.12.42;

This chapter describes the grand celebration that took place after the completion of the city's fortifications, with two large choirs marching on top of the walls and giving thanks to God. Jehohanan is listed among the priests who were involved in this ceremony, along with other notable figures such as Maaseiah, Shemaiah, and Eleazar. The text does not provide any further details about Jehohanan's specific role in the dedication or his background, but his inclusion in this list suggests that he was a part of the priestly leadership in Jerusalem at that time. The dedication of the walls was a significant event that marked the restoration of Jerusalem and the renewal of the people's commitment to God, and Jehohanan's participation in this ceremony highlights the important role of the priests in the spiritual life of the community. ========== PERSON(s) Jehohanan@Neh.6.18=H3076O Ammonite living at the time of Exile and Return Tobiah@Neh.2.10- + daughter_of_Shecaniah@Neh.6.18 daughter_of_Meshullam@Neh.6.18 Ammon #A man of the Ammonites living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.6.18;

Tobiah, along with Sanballat and Geshem, actively tried to hinder and discourage Nehemiah's efforts to reconstruct the city's defenses. The passage notes that many in Judah were bound by oath to Tobiah because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah, son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam, son of Berechiah. These family connections suggest that Tobiah had significant influence and support among some of the Jewish nobles, which made it more difficult for Nehemiah to carry out his mission. The text does not provide any further information about Jehohanan himself, but his relationship to Tobiah and his marriage into another prominent family highlight the complex social and political dynamics that Nehemiah had to navigate during the rebuilding process. ========== PERSON(s) Jehoiachin@2Ki.24.6-Mat=H3078 King living at the time of Divided Monarchy Jehoiakim@2Ki.23.34-Dan + Nehushta@2Ki.24.8 Zedekiah@1Ch.3.16(?), Shealtiel@1Ch.3.17-Mat Tribe of Judah #A king of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.24.6;

He was the son of King Jehoiakim and ascended to the throne at the age of eighteen (2Ki.24.8). However, during his reign, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon besieged Jerusalem, and Jehoiachin surrendered to him (2Ki.24.12). As a result, Jehoiachin, along with his family, nobles, and skilled workers, was taken captive to Babylon (2Ki.24.15-16; Jer.24.1; 27.20; 29.2; Ezk.1.2). Nebuchadnezzar appointed Jehoiachin's uncle, Mattaniah (later renamed Zedekiah), as the new king of Judah (2Ki.24.17; Jer.37.1). ¶During his captivity in Babylon, Jehoiachin was imprisoned for 37 years until Evil-merodach, the new king of Babylon, released him and treated him kindly (2Ki.25.27-30; Jer.52.31-34). Jehoiachin's descendants, including Shealtiel and Zerubbabel, are mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ (1Ch.3.17; Mat.1.11-12). ¶The prophet Jeremiah prophesied about Jehoiachin, referring to him as "Coniah" and declaring that none of his descendants would prosper on the throne of David (Jer.22.24-30). Despite this prophecy, Jehoiachin's release from prison and the favor shown to him by the Babylonian king suggest that God had not forgotten him or his family. @Ambiguity=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WI5gOd0O-wfPf5rjuRPW5yhxNFoedx2fssmgOQGYj7o/edit?tab=t.0#bookmark=id.ibr4am9eii9l ========== PERSON(s) Jehoiada@1Ch.27.34=H3077I Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Benaiah@1Ch.27.34 + Tribe of Judah #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.27.34;

He played a crucial role in preserving the Davidic lineage and restoring the worship of Yahweh in Judah. ¶When Athaliah, the mother of the deceased king Ahaziah, seized the throne and ordered the execution of all the royal heirs, Jehoiada and his wife Jehosheba rescued the infant Joash and hid him in the temple for six years (2Ki.11.1-3; 2Ch.22.11-12). In the seventh year, Jehoiada gathered the military leaders and Levites, revealing the existence of the rightful heir and orchestrating a coup against Athaliah (2Ki.11.4-12; 2Ch.23.1-11). Joash was crowned king, and Athaliah was executed (2Ki.11.13-16; 2Ch.23.12-15). ¶During Joash's reign, Jehoiada served as his advisor and guided him in the ways of the Lord (2Ki.12.2). Jehoiada also initiated repairs to the temple and oversaw the collection of funds for this purpose (2Ki.12.7-16; 2Ch.24.4-14). He died at the age of 130 and was buried among the kings in the City of David, a testament to his significant role in the history of Judah (2Ch.24.15-16). ¶After Jehoiada's death, Joash turned away from the Lord and even ordered the execution of Jehoiada's son, Zechariah, for speaking out against the king's disobedience (2Ch.24.17-22; Mat.23.35).

Jehoiakim initially served Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon but later rebelled against him (2Ki.24.1). This rebellion led to the first Babylonian invasion of Judah, during which some of the temple treasures and members of the royal family and nobility were taken to Babylon (2Ch.36.6-7; Dan.1.1-2). ¶The prophet Jeremiah prophesied during Jehoiakim's reign, warning the king and the people of Judah about the impending Babylonian judgment (Jer.1.3; 25.1; 26.1). Jehoiakim opposed Jeremiah, burning the scroll containing the prophet's warnings (Jeremiah 36) and persecuting those who followed Jeremiah's message (Jer.26.20-23). ¶Jehoiakim died before the final Babylonian invasion and was succeeded by his son Jehoiachin (2Ki.24.6). The circumstances of his death are not clearly stated in the biblical text, but Jeremiah prophesied that he would be buried like a donkey, dragged and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem (Jer.22.18-19; 36.30). ========== PERSON(s) Jehoiarib@1Ch.24.7=H3080G Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.24.7;

When the Ammonites attacked Israel, the elders of Gilead asked Jephthah to lead them in battle, promising him leadership if he succeeded. Jephthah made a vow to God, pledging to sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house to meet him if he were victorious. Jephthah defeated the Ammonites, but tragically, his daughter was the first to greet him upon his return. Jephthah fulfilled his vow, and his daughter willingly submitted to her fate. Jephthah judged Israel for six years before his death. His story highlights the importance of making wise vows and the consequences of rash decisions.

He lived and prophesied during the reigns of the last kings of Judah, including Josiah, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. Jeremiah's ministry spanned over 40 years, during which he warned the people of Judah about the impending Babylonian exile and called them to repentance and faithfulness to God. ¶Jeremiah faced significant opposition and persecution for his messages, which often contradicted the false hopes and political ambitions of the kings and people of Judah. He was threatened, imprisoned, and even thrown into a cistern. Despite these challenges, Jeremiah remained faithful to his prophetic calling and continued to deliver God's words to the nation. ¶Jeremiah's prophecies also included messages of hope and restoration, foretelling the eventual return of the exiles to their homeland and the establishment of a new covenant between God and His people. His writings, which include the book of Jeremiah and the book of Lamentations, provide a detailed account of the events leading up to the fall of Jerusalem and the Babylonian captivity, as well as his personal struggles and faith in God. ¶Jeremiah's prophecies are referenced in the New Testament, and he is considered a significant figure in both Jewish and Christian traditions. His life and message continue to inspire and challenge readers to remain faithful to God in the face of adversity and to trust in His ultimate plan for redemption and restoration. ========== PERSON(s) Jeremiah@2Ki.23.31-Jer=H3414G Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Hamutal@2Ki.23.31-Jer > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.23.31;

He brought them into the temple and offered them wine to drink. However, the Rechabites, including Jeremiah son of Habazziniah, refused to drink the wine, stating that they were following the commands of their ancestor Jonadab. ¶The prophet Jeremiah then used the Rechabites' obedience as a contrast to the disobedience of the people of Judah. He praised the Rechabites for their faithfulness and declared that they would always have a descendant to serve God because of their commitment to their ancestor's commands.

He is the eternal Son of God who became incarnate, being born of the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem. Jesus lived a sinless life and performed many miracles, demonstrating His divine power and authority. He taught with wisdom and authority, proclaiming the Kingdom of God and calling people to repentance and faith. Jesus faced opposition from religious leaders and was ultimately crucified under Pontius Pilate. However, on the third day, He rose from the dead, appearing to His disciples and commissioning them to spread the gospel message. Jesus ascended into heaven and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father, interceding for believers. He is the Savior of the world, offering forgiveness of sins and eternal life to all who put their faith in Him. The New Testament also teaches that Jesus will return in glory to judge the living and the dead and to establish His eternal Kingdom. He is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah and is the perfect revelation of God's love and grace to humanity. ========== PERSON(s) Jether@1Ch.2.32=H3500I Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Jada@1Ch.2.28- + Jonathan@1Ch.2.32- Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.2.32;

Amasa was the son of Jether and Abigail, who was David's sister. Despite being David's nephew, Amasa sided with Absalom during his rebellion against David and was appointed as the commander of Absalom's army. After Absalom's death, David offered Amasa the position of commander over his army, replacing Joab. However, when Amasa failed to mobilize the troops quickly enough, David sent Abishai to pursue the rebel Sheba. Joab, who had been demoted, accompanied Abishai and took the opportunity to kill Amasa, viewing him as a threat to his position. The fact that Jether is described as an Ishmaelite suggests that he was not an Israelite, which may have contributed to Amasa's complex loyalties within David's family and kingdom. ========== PERSON(s) Jether@Jdg.8.20=H3500G Man living before Israel's Monarchy Gideon@Jdg.6.11-Heb + Abimelech@Jdg.8.31-2Sa, Jotham@Jdg.9.5- > #A man living before Israel's Monarchy, only mentioned at Jdg.8.20;

Moses follows this advice and bids farewell to Jethro, who returns to his own land (Exo.18.24-27).

He first appears in 1Sa.26.6, accompanying David on a mission to Saul's camp. Joab played a significant role in David's rise to power and the establishment of his kingdom (2Sa.2-3; 8.16; 1Ch.11.6,8). ¶As a military commander, Joab led David's forces in various battles against the Ammonites, Syrians, and other enemies (2Sa.10; 12.26-27; 1Ch.19). He also helped quell Absalom's rebellion and was instrumental in defeating Sheba's revolt (2Sa.18; 20). ¶However, Joab's loyalty to David was sometimes overshadowed by his own ambition and ruthlessness. He killed Abner, Saul's former commander, in revenge for his brother Asahel's death (2Sa.3). He also disobeyed David's orders by killing Absalom (2Sa.18) and supported Adonijah's attempt to seize the throne (1Ki.1.7,19). ¶Despite his flaws, Joab remained a key figure in David's reign until the end. He was involved in the census that brought God's judgment upon Israel (2Sa.24; 1Ch.21) and was eventually killed by Benaiah on Solomon's orders for his support of Adonijah (1Ki.2.28-35). ========== PERSON(s) Joab@Ezr.2.6-Neh=H3097I Man living at the time of Exile and Return Pahath-moab@Ezr.2.6-Neh + Jeshua@Ezr.2.6-Neh > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.6;

During his forty-year reign (2Ki.12.1; 2Ch.24.1), Joash initiated repairs to the temple of the Lord, which had fallen into disrepair (2Ki.12.4-7; 2Ch.24.4). ¶However, after the death of his mentor, Jehoiada the priest, Joash turned away from the Lord and allowed the worship of idols (2Ch.24.17-18). When Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada, prophesied against this wickedness, Joash ordered his execution (2Ch.24.20-22). ¶Consequently, Judah faced military defeats and Joash was wounded (2Ch.24.23-24). He was eventually assassinated by his own servants and succeeded by his son Amaziah (2Ki.12.20-21; 2Ch.24.25-27).

During his reign, the prophet Elisha fell ill and died, but not before prophesying that Joash would defeat the Arameans three times (2Ki.13.14-19). ¶Joash successfully recaptured cities from the Arameans that had been lost during his father's reign (2Ki.13.25). He also engaged in a war with Amaziah, king of Judah, after Amaziah challenged him to battle (2Ki.14.8-14; 2Ch.25.17-24). Joash defeated Amaziah, captured him, and broke down a portion of the wall of Jerusalem. ¶The reigns of Joash and his son Jeroboam II were marked by military successes and the restoration of Israel's borders (2Ki.14.23-27). However, despite these victories, the biblical text emphasizes that Joash and the kings of Israel continued in the sins of Jeroboam I, leading to the eventual downfall of the northern kingdom (2Ki.14.24). The prophets Hosea and Amos prophesied during the time of Joash (Hos.1.1; Amo.1.1), warning of the consequences of Israel's disobedience. ========== PERSON(s) Joash@Jdg.6.11-=H3101G Man living before Israel's Monarchy + Gideon@Jdg.6.11-Heb > #A man living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Jdg.6.11;

However, God allowed Satan to test Job's faith through a series of severe trials, including the loss of his children, wealth, and health (Job.1.6-2.10). ¶Throughout his suffering, Job maintained his integrity and did not sin against God (Job.1.22; 2.10). He engaged in a lengthy dialogue with his three friends - Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar - who came to comfort him but ultimately accused him of wrongdoing (Job.2.11-31.40). A fourth friend, Elihu, also spoke to Job, emphasizing God's justice and sovereignty (Job.32-37). ¶Finally, God spoke to Job, challenging him to understand the mysteries of creation and divine wisdom (Job.38-41). Job acknowledged God's power and repented of his questioning (Job.42.1-6). In the end, God restored Job's fortunes, giving him twice as much as he had before, and blessed him with seven more sons and three more daughters (Job.42.10-17). ¶Job's story is a testament to faith in the face of adversity, and he is mentioned alongside Noah and Daniel as an example of righteousness (Ezk.14.14,20). His perseverance is also commended in the New Testament (Jas.5.11). The book of Job grapples with the question of suffering and the sovereignty of God, ultimately showcasing God's wisdom and the importance of trust in Him. ========== PERSON(s) Jobab@1Ch.8.18=H3103K Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Elpaal@1Ch.8.11- + Eber@1Ch.8.12, Misham@1Ch.8.12, Shemed@1Ch.8.12, Beriah@1Ch.8.13-, Shema@1Ch.8.13, Zebadiah@1Ch.8.17, Meshullam@1Ch.8.17, Hizki@1Ch.8.17, Heber@1Ch.8.17, Ishmerai@1Ch.8.18, Izliah@1Ch.8.18 Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.8.18;

She is mentioned in Exo.6.20 and Num.26.59 in the genealogical records of the Levites. Jochebed was the daughter of Levi, born to him in Egypt. She married her nephew Amram, the son of her brother Kohath. This marriage took place before the laws prohibiting such unions were given (Lev.18.12). ¶Jochebed gave birth to three children who would play significant roles in Israel's history: Miriam, the eldest, followed by Aaron and Moses. According to Exo.2.1-10, when Moses was born, Jochebed hid him for three months to protect him from Pharaoh's edict to kill all male Hebrew babies. When she could no longer hide him, she placed him in a basket among the reeds of the Nile River, where he was found and adopted by Pharaoh's daughter. Jochebed's faith and courage in protecting her son led to Moses being raised in the Egyptian court, ultimately preparing him for his future role as Israel's deliverer. ========== PERSON(s) Joda@Luk.3.26=G6043 Man living at the time of Exile and Return Joanan@Luk.3.27 + Josech@Luk.3.26 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Luk.3.26;

Little is known about Joel's personal life or the exact time of his ministry, as the book does not provide specific historical references. However, based on the themes and content of his prophecy, scholars generally place him in the post-exilic period, possibly during the late 5th or early 4th century BC. ¶In his prophetic message, Joel describes a devastating locust plague and drought that had struck Judah, using this calamity as a metaphor for the coming Day of the Lord. He calls the people to repentance and promises restoration and blessing for those who turn back to God. Joel's prophecy also includes a powerful vision of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon all people, regardless of age, gender, or social status (Jol.2.28-32). ¶This prophecy is notably quoted by the apostle Peter in his sermon on the Day of Pentecost (Act.2.16-21), indicating its fulfillment in the early days of the Church. Joel's message, though rooted in the specific challenges faced by Judah in his time, carries a timeless call to repentance, hope in God's mercy, and the promise of the Holy Spirit's transformative power. ========== PERSON(s) Joel@Neh.11.9=H3100S Man living at the time of Exile and Return Zichri@Neh.11.9 + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.11.9;

After the Babylonians appointed Gedaliah as governor over the remnant of Judah, Johanan and other army officers came to him at Mizpah (2Ki.25.23; Jer.40.8). When Ishmael, a member of the royal family, assassinated Gedaliah and killed many others, Johanan pursued him and rescued the captives Ishmael had taken (Jer.41.11-16). ¶Following these events, Johanan and the other leaders sought the advice of the prophet Jeremiah, asking him to pray for guidance (Jer.42.1-3). However, when Jeremiah conveyed God's message that they should remain in the land and not flee to Egypt, Johanan and the others refused to obey (Jer.43.2-4). Instead, they took the remnant of Judah, including Jeremiah, and went to Egypt (Jer.43.5-7). ¶Johanan's story highlights the complex political situation in Judah after the Babylonian conquest and the challenges faced by those who remained in the land. While he initially seemed to support Gedaliah and sought Jeremiah's guidance, his ultimate refusal to obey God's word led him and the remnant of Judah into further disobedience and exile. ========== PERSON(s) Johanan@Ezr.8.12=H3110K Man living at the time of Exile and Return Hakkatan@Ezr.8.12 + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.8.12;

In the Gospel of John, Jesus addresses Peter as "Simon, son of John" on several occasions (Jhn.21.15,16,17). This patronymic identifier was common in Jewish culture and served to distinguish individuals with the same name. ¶In Jhn.1.42, when Andrew brings his brother Simon to Jesus, Jesus gives Simon the name "Cephas" (which means "Peter" or "rock"). Here, Simon is also identified as the son of John. Similarly, in Mat.16.17, when Peter declares Jesus to be the Christ, the Son of the living God, Jesus responds by calling him "Simon Bar-Jonah," using the Aramaic equivalent of "son of Jonah." ¶These references provide insight into Peter's family background but do not offer any additional details about his father, John or Jonah. The use of both names has led some scholars to suggest that John may have been a bilingual name, with Jonah being the Hebrew form and John the Greek form.

He was the son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, born miraculously in their old age (Luk.1.13,60,63). John lived an ascetic life in the wilderness, wearing camel's hair and eating locusts and wild honey (Mat.3.4; Mrk.1.6). ¶As a prophet, John preached a message of repentance and baptized people in the Jordan River (Mat.3.1; Mrk.1.4; Luk.3.2). He emphasized the importance of bearing fruit worthy of repentance (Mat.3.8) and warned of the coming judgment (Mat.3.10). Many people, including tax collectors and soldiers, came to be baptized by him (Luk.3.12,14). ¶John's ministry reached its climax when Jesus came to be baptized by him (Mat.3.13-14; Mrk.1.9). John initially hesitated, recognizing Jesus' superiority, but Jesus insisted, and John baptized Him. This event marked the beginning of Jesus' public ministry. ¶Later, John was imprisoned by Herod Antipas for criticizing Herod's marriage to his brother's wife (Mat.4.12; 14.3-4; Mrk.6.17-18; Luk.3.20). While in prison, John sent his disciples to ask Jesus if He was the Messiah (Mat.11.2-3; Luk.7.18-19). Jesus responded by pointing to His miracles and teachings, affirming His identity (Mat.11.4-6; Luk.7.22-23). ¶Tragically, John was beheaded at the request of Herodias' daughter (Mat.14.8-10; Mrk.6.24-28). Jesus praised John as a great prophet and more than a prophet, the one who prepared the way for the Messiah (Mat.11.7-14; Luk.7.24-28). ¶John's disciples continued to follow some of his practices even after his death, such as fasting (Mat.9.14; Mrk.2.18; Luk.5.33). Jesus spoke of John's greatness and his role in salvation history (Mat.11.11-13; Luk.16.16).

John worked as a fisherman alongside his brother James and their father Zebedee (Mat.4.21; Mrk.1.19). ¶Throughout the Gospels, John is depicted as a close companion of Jesus. He witnesses significant events, including the Transfiguration (Mat.17.1; Mrk.9.2), and is present during Jesus' agony in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mrk.14.33). He is also noted for his role in the early church, as seen in the Acts of the Apostles, where he actively preached and performed miracles (Act.3.1-4; 4.13). ¶John is traditionally believed to be the author of the Gospel of John, three epistles (1 John, 2 John, 3 John), and the Book of Revelation (Rev.1.1, 4, 9; 22.8). In Revelation, he describes visions of the end times and the New Jerusalem (Rev.21.2). ¶John's contributions to the New Testament and his close relationship with Jesus have established him as a pivotal figure in Christian tradition.

This suggests that he oversaw the organization and administration of the temple personnel. ¶In Neh.13.28, it is revealed that one of Joiada's sons had married a daughter of Sanballat the Horonite, who was a prominent opponent of Nehemiah and the Jewish community. This marriage was seen as a violation of the covenant made by the Jews to separate themselves from foreign influences (Neh.10.30). Nehemiah responded by driving the offending son away from the community. ¶Joiada's high priesthood was marked by the ongoing challenges of maintaining religious purity and identity in the face of external pressures and influences.

Joiakim is listed in the genealogy of the high priests, affirming his rightful claim to the office. ¶According to Neh.12.12, during the days of Joiakim, the heads of the priestly families were recorded. This suggests that Joiakim oversaw the organization and administration of the priestly duties and responsibilities. ¶Joiakim's high priesthood is also mentioned in Neh.12.26, which notes that he served during the time of Nehemiah the governor and Ezra the priest and scribe. This places his tenure in the context of the significant religious and political reforms implemented by Nehemiah and Ezra, which aimed to restore Jewish religious practices and enforce adherence to the Law of Moses. ¶As a high priest, Joiakim would have played a crucial role in the spiritual leadership of the Jewish community, ensuring the proper functioning of the temple and its services.

This suggests that the family of Joiarib was among those who returned to Judah and took up residence in the holy city. ¶Joiarib is also listed in Neh.12.6 as one of the priestly families that returned with Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and Jeshua, the high priest. This return marked the beginning of the restoration of Jewish worship and religious life in Jerusalem after the exile. ¶In Neh.12.19, Joiarib is mentioned again in the context of the organization of the priestly divisions during the time of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua.

This event took place during Ezra's journey from Babylon to Jerusalem, as he sought to restore the worship and religious practices of the Jews in their homeland. ¶Ezra, a priest and scribe, had been commissioned by King Artaxerxes of Persia to lead a group of Jewish exiles back to Jerusalem. As part of his preparations, Ezra gathered a number of men, including Joiarib, who are described as "men of understanding." This designation suggests that Joiarib and the others were known for their wisdom, discernment, and knowledge of the law. ¶Ezra sent these men to Iddo to request that he send Levites to accompany them to Jerusalem. The Levites were essential for the proper functioning of the temple and the maintenance of religious rituals.

In Gen.25.3, it is stated that Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan, suggesting that he had descendants who formed tribes or clans. The names Sheba and Dedan are associated with regions in Arabia, indicating that Jokshan's descendants may have settled in that area. ¶Jokshan's mention in the genealogies of Abraham serves to highlight the fulfillment of God's promise to make Abraham the father of many nations (Gen.17.4-6). Although the covenant line would pass through Isaac and Israel (or 'Jacob'), Abraham's other sons, including Jokshan, are not forgotten in the biblical narrative. ¶The fact that Jokshan and his brothers are listed in both Genesis and 1 Chronicles underscores the importance of genealogical records in ancient Israelite society. These records served to establish family ties, document the fulfillment of divine promises, and trace the origins of various tribes and nations. ¶Beyond these details, the Bible does not provide any further information about Jokshan's life, his relationship with his father Abraham, or the specific history of his descendants. His inclusion in the biblical record serves primarily to paint a more complete picture of Abraham's family and the nations that descended from him. ========== PERSON(s) Joktan@Gen.10.25-1Ch=H3355 Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Eber@Gen.10.21-Luk + Peleg@Gen.10.25-Luk Almodad@Gen.10.26-1Ch, Sheleph@Gen.10.26-1Ch, Hazarmaveth@Gen.10.26-1Ch, Jerah@Gen.10.26-1Ch, Hadoram@Gen.10.27-1Ch, Uzal@Gen.10.27-1Ch, Diklah@Gen.10.27-1Ch, Obal@Gen.10.28-1Ch, Abimael@Gen.10.28-1Ch, Sheba@Gen.10.28-1Ch, Ophir@Gen.10.29-1Ch, Havilah@Gen.10.29-1Ch, Jobab@Gen.10.29-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.25;

He was the son of Eber and the brother of Peleg (Gen.10.25; 1Ch.1.19). The biblical record states that in the days of Peleg, the earth was divided, possibly referring to the division of languages and nations at the Tower of Babel (Gen.10.25). ¶Joktan is described as the ancestor of several Arabian tribes. Gen.10.26-29 and 1Ch.1.20-23 list his 13 sons: Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. These names are associated with various regions in Arabia, suggesting that Joktan's descendants settled in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula. ¶The mention of Joktan and his sons in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10) serves to highlight the diversity of peoples and nations that descended from Noah's sons after the Flood. It also demonstrates the fulfillment of God's command to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth (Gen.9.1). ¶Although no further details are provided about Joktan's life or his relationship with his descendants, his inclusion in the biblical genealogies emphasizes the connection between the Semitic peoples and the Arabian tribes.

Jonadab instructed his descendants to abstain from drinking wine, building houses, sowing seed, and planting vineyards (Jer.35.6-7). Instead, they were to live in tents and follow a nomadic way of life. ¶The Rechabites' faithfulness to Jonadab's commands is highlighted in Jeremiah 35, where the prophet uses their example to contrast the disobedience of the people of Judah. When offered wine by Jeremiah, the Rechabites refused, stating that they were following the instructions of their ancestor Jonadab (Jer.35.6,8). God commends the Rechabites for their steadfast obedience and promises that they will always have a descendant to serve Him (Jer.35.18-19). ¶In 2Ki.10.15-23, Jonadab is mentioned in connection with Jehu, the king of Israel. After Jehu had carried out a purge of the worshippers of Baal, he met Jonadab and invited him to witness his zeal for the Lord. Jonadab's presence and approval of Jehu's actions suggest that he was a respected figure known for his devotion to God. ¶The example of Jonadab and the Rechabites serves as a reminder of the importance of obedience, faithfulness, and the value of maintaining a distinct identity in the midst of a changing society. Their commitment to their way of life and their ancestor's instructions stands in stark contrast to the disobedience and unfaithfulness of the people of Judah during the time of Jeremiah. ========== PERSON(s) Jonadab@2Sa.13.3-1Ch=H3122G David's nephew living at the time of United Monarchy Shimeah@1Sa.16.9-1Ch + Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.13.3;

He is primarily mentioned in the context of the tragic story of Amnon and Tamar, David's children. ¶Jonadab is described as a very shrewd man and a close friend of Amnon (2Sa.13.3). When Amnon became infatuated with his half-sister Tamar and was distressed about how to approach her, Jonadab devised a plan for Amnon to be alone with Tamar (2Sa.13.5). This plan ultimately led to Amnon raping Tamar, an act that had severe consequences for the royal family (2Sa.13.11-14). ¶After Amnon's actions were discovered, Jonadab was the one who informed David that only Amnon had been killed by Absalom, Tamar's full brother, contrary to the initial report that all of David's sons had been slain (2Sa.13.32-33). This suggests that Jonadab was well-informed about the events and dynamics within the royal family. ¶In 1Ch.27.32, Jonadab is mentioned as King David's counselor, described as a wise man and a scribe. This indicates that he held a position of influence and trust within the royal court, despite his role in the events surrounding Amnon and Tamar. ¶The story of Jonadab highlights the complex relationships and conflicts within David's family and the far-reaching consequences of sin and poor judgment. It also demonstrates the importance of wise counsel and the potential for even trusted advisors to contribute to negative outcomes when their wisdom is misused. ========== PERSON(s) Jonah@2Ki.14.25-Luk=H3124 Prophet living at the time of Divided Monarchy Amittai@2Ki.14.25-Jon + > #A prophet living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.14.25;

He first appears in the biblical narrative as a brave warrior, leading a thousand men in a successful attack against a Philistine garrison (1Sa.13.2-3). Jonathan's faith and courage were further demonstrated when he and his armor-bearer challenged another Philistine outpost, believing that God could save by many or by few (1Sa.14.6-14). ¶Jonathan is perhaps best known for his deep friendship with David, which began after David's victory over Goliath (1Sa.18.1). The two made a covenant, and Jonathan gave David his robe, armor, sword, bow, and belt as a sign of their bond (1Sa.18.3-4). When Saul's jealousy towards David grew, Jonathan interceded on David's behalf, temporarily reconciling them (1Sa.19.1-7). ¶As Saul's hostility towards David intensified, Jonathan helped David escape and reaffirmed their covenant (1Sa.20). They parted ways, with Jonathan remaining loyal to his father while still maintaining his friendship with David (1Sa.23.16-18). ¶Jonathan died in battle alongside his father and brothers at Mount Gilboa, fighting against the Philistines (1Sa.31.2; 1Ch.10.2). David deeply mourned the loss of his friend, composing a lament in honor of Saul and Jonathan (2Sa.1). ¶Jonathan's legacy continued through his son Mephibosheth, whom David showed kindness for Jonathan's sake (2Sa.4.4; 9.1-7). David also spared Mephibosheth's life when the Gibeonites sought retribution for Saul's actions (2Sa.21.7-9). ¶The story of Jonathan and David's friendship has become a timeless example of loyalty, selflessness, and the power of covenant relationships. Despite the challenges and conflicts they faced, their bond remained strong, transcending political and familial ties. ========== PERSON(s) Jonathan@2Sa.15.27-1Ki=H3083I Priest living at the time of United Monarchy Abiathar@1Sa.22.20-Mrk + Ahimelech@2Sa.8.17-1Ch Tribe of Levi #A priest living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.15.27;

He served as a messenger and informant alongside Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, during the time of Absalom's rebellion against David (2Sa.15.27,36). ¶When David was forced to flee Jerusalem due to Absalom's coup, he instructed Jonathan and Ahimaaz to remain in the city and send word to him about any developments (2Sa.15.27-29). The two young men stayed near En-rogel, outside the city, to avoid detection (2Sa.17.17). A servant girl would relay messages to them, which they would then deliver to David (2Sa.17.17). ¶When Absalom's men came searching for Jonathan and Ahimaaz, a woman hid them in a well and covered it, misleading the pursuers (2Sa.17.18-20). The two then escaped and informed David of Ahithophel's advice to Absalom (2Sa.17.21). ¶Later, during the tensions surrounding Solomon's succession to the throne, Jonathan brought news to Adonijah and his supporters that Solomon had been anointed king (1Ki.1.42-48). This report led to the disbanding of Adonijah's faction. ¶Jonathan's role as a messenger and informant highlights the importance of loyalty and communication during times of political upheaval. His service to David, along with that of Ahimaaz, was crucial in helping the king navigate the challenges posed by Absalom's rebellion and the uncertainties of the royal succession. ========== PERSON(s) Jonathan@2Sa.23.32-1Ch=H3083J Warrior living at the time of United Monarchy Shammah@2Sa.23.33-1Ch + > #A warrior living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.23.32;

The returning exiles sought to re-establish Jewish life and worship in the homeland after the Babylonian captivity. ========== PERSON(s) Jonathan@Jdg.18.30=H3083G Levite living before Israel's Monarchy Gershom@Exo.2.22-1Ch(?) + Tribe of Levi #A man living before Israel's Monarchy, only mentioned at Jdg.18.30;

The Danites, who had not yet secured their inheritance, sent out spies to find a suitable place to settle. The spies came to the house of Micah, where they encountered Jonathan, who was serving as Micah's personal priest (Jdg.18.3-4). ¶When the Danites later returned to take possession of the land, they also took Micah's carved image, ephod, household gods, and Jonathan to serve as their priest (Jdg.18.19-20). Jonathan, being a Levite, was likely seen as a legitimate religious authority, despite the fact that the Danites were setting up an idolatrous worship system. ¶The narrative in Judges 18 highlights the moral and spiritual decline of Israel during the period of the judges, as the Danites adopted false worship practices and the Levites, who were meant to serve God, became complicit in these practices. Jonathan's story serves as an example of the compromises and failures of religious leaders during this turbulent time in Israel's history. ========== PERSON(s) Jonathan@Jer.37.15-=H3083N Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at Jer.37.15;

His house was used as a prison where the prophet Jeremiah was confined (Jer.37.15). Jeremiah appealed to King Zedekiah not to send him back to Jonathan's house, fearing he would die there (Jer.37.20). Later, Jeremiah told the king's officials that he had only petitioned the king not to send him back to Jonathan's house to die when they questioned him (Jer.38.26). Jonathan's role as a scribe and the use of his house as a prison suggest he was a person of some importance in Jerusalem just prior to the Babylonian conquest in 586 BC. ========== PERSON(s) Jonathan@Jer.40.8=H3129L Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Kareah@2Ki.25.23-Jer + Johanan@2Ki.25.23-Jer > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Jer.40.8;

He was favored by his father, causing jealousy among his brothers (Gen.37.3-4). Joseph had dreams of his family bowing down to him, further straining the relationships (Gen.37.5-11). His brothers sold him into slavery, and he was taken to Egypt (Gen.37.12-36). In Egypt, Joseph served in Potiphar's house, where he was falsely accused and imprisoned (Genesis 39). While in prison, Joseph interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker (Genesis 40). Later, he interpreted Pharaoh's dreams and was appointed as second-in-command over Egypt (Gen.41.1-45). During this time, he was given the name Zaphenath-paneah by Pharaoh (Gen.41.45). Joseph managed Egypt's resources wisely during the years of plenty and famine (Gen.41.46-57). His brothers came to Egypt for food, and after testing them, Joseph revealed his identity and reconciled with them (Genesis 42-45). Joseph brought his father, Jacob, and his entire family to Egypt, where they settled in the land of Goshen (Genesis 46-47). Before his death, Jacob blessed Joseph's sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, and prophesied about Joseph's descendants (Genesis 48-49). Joseph died at the age of 110 and was embalmed and placed in a coffin in Egypt (Gen.50.22-26). His bones were later carried out of Egypt by the Israelites during the Exodus and buried at Shechem (Exo.13.19; Jos.24.32). Joseph's life exemplified faith, forgiveness, and God's providence in the midst of hardship. ========== PERSON(s) Joseph@Luk.3.24=G2501J Man living at the time of Exile and Return Mattathias@Luk.3.25 + Jannai@Luk.3.24 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Luk.3.24;

Being a righteous man, he planned to divorce her quietly, but an angel appeared to him in a dream, telling him to take Mary as his wife and name the child Jesus (Mat.1.19-21, 24-25). Joseph obeyed and took care of Mary and Jesus. He was present at Jesus' birth in Bethlehem (Luk.2.4-7, 16) and later took his family to Egypt to escape Herod's persecution (Mat.2.13-15, 19-23). Joseph is last mentioned in the Gospels when Jesus was 12 years old, and the family visited Jerusalem for the Passover (Luk.2.41-51).

He was a disciple of Jesus but secretly out of fear of the Jewish leaders (Jhn.19.38). Joseph is described as a good and righteous man who had not consented to the council's decision to condemn Jesus (Luk.23.50-51). After Jesus' crucifixion, Joseph boldly asked Pilate for Jesus' body (Mrk.15.43; Jhn.19.38). He took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb, which had been cut out of rock (Mat.27.59-60; Mrk.15.46; Luk.23.53). The tomb was then sealed with a large stone (Mat.27.60). Joseph's actions fulfilled the prophecy that the Messiah would be buried with the rich (Isa.53.9).

The twelve spies, one from each tribe, were chosen to assess the land and its inhabitants before the Israelites entered the Promised Land (Num.13.1-2). After forty days of scouting the land, the spies returned with their report (Num.13.25). While Joshua and Caleb encouraged the people to trust God and take possession of the land, the other ten spies, including Joseph, brought back a discouraging report, emphasizing the strength of the land's inhabitants and cities (Num.13.26-33). This led to the people's rebellion against Moses and their refusal to enter the land (Num.14.1-4).

He is the brother of James "the Less" (or "the younger" - Mrk.15.40) who is traditionally identified with James the son of Alphaeus, who would therefore be Mary's husband. Thsi may be the same Alphaeus who is the father of Matthew, though this is uncertain.

He was from the tribe of Ephraim (Num.13.8) and was originally named Hoshea, but Moses changed his name to Joshua (Num.13.16). Joshua was one of the twelve spies sent to explore the land of Canaan (Num.13.8), and he and Caleb were the only ones who brought back a positive report and encouraged the people to trust God (Num.14.6-9). As a result, Joshua and Caleb were the only adults from their generation permitted to enter the Promised Land (Num.14.30, 38). ¶Before Moses' death, God appointed Joshua to succeed him as the leader of Israel (Num.27.18-23; Deu.31.7-8, 14, 23). After Moses' death, Joshua led the Israelites across the Jordan River and into the land of Canaan (Joshua 1-4). He oversaw the conquest of Jericho (Joshua 6), Ai (Joshua 8), and numerous other cities and territories (Joshua 10-12). Joshua also led the Israelites in renewing their covenant with God (Jos.8.30-35; 24.1-28). ¶Under Joshua's leadership, the land of Canaan was divided among the tribes of Israel as their inheritance (Joshua 13-21). In his old age, Joshua gave a farewell address to the Israelites, encouraging them to remain faithful to God (Joshua 23-24). He died at the age of 110 and was buried in his inheritance at Timnath-serah (Jos.24.29-30; Jdg.2.8-9). ¶Joshua is remembered as a courageous leader, a faithful servant of God, and a key figure in Israel's history who led the people into the Promised Land and helped establish them as a nation. ========== PERSON(s) Joshua@Ezr.2.2-Zec=H3091J High Priest living at the time of Exile and Return Jehozadak@1Ch.6.14-Zec + Joiakim@Neh.12.10- Tribe of Levi #A High Priest from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.2;

He was the son of Jehozadak (or Jozadak) and is mentioned in the books of Haggai, Zechariah, Ezra, and Nehemiah. ¶Joshua is first mentioned among the leaders who returned from exile with Zerubbabel (Ezr.2.2; Neh.7.7). He worked alongside Zerubbabel to rebuild the altar and lay the foundation of the temple (Ezr.3.2, 8). When the temple construction faced opposition, Joshua and Zerubbabel successfully petitioned the Persian authorities to allow the work to continue (Ezr.5.2). ¶The prophets Haggai and Zechariah delivered messages of encouragement and support to Joshua during the temple reconstruction (Hag.1.1, 12, 14; 2.2, 4; Zec.3.1-9; 6.11). In a vision, Zechariah saw Joshua standing before the angel of the Lord, with Satan accusing him. The Lord rebuked Satan and affirmed His choice of Joshua as the high priest (Zec.3.1-5). Joshua was also given a symbolic crown and a promise of the coming "Branch," a messianic figure (Zec.6.11-13). ¶Joshua continued to serve as high priest during the early years of the restored Jewish community in Jerusalem (Neh.12.1, 7, 10, 26). His leadership, along with that of Zerubbabel, was instrumental in the completion of the temple and the reestablishment of Jewish worship in the post-exilic period. ========== PERSON(s) Joshua@Luk.3.29=G2424K Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Eliezer@Luk.3.29 + Er@Luk.3.28 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Luk.3.29;

He was the son of Amon and the grandson of Manasseh (2Ki.21.24, 26; 1Ch.3.14). Josiah became king at the age of eight and reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem (2Ki.22.1; 2Ch.34.1). ¶Josiah is best known for his religious reforms and his commitment to following the Law of the Lord. In the eighteenth year of his reign, Josiah initiated repairs to the temple (2Ki.22.3-7; 2Ch.34.8-13). During these repairs, the Book of the Law was discovered (2Ki.22.8-13; 2Ch.34.14-21). Upon hearing the words of the Law, Josiah tore his clothes in repentance and sought the guidance of the prophetess Huldah (2Ki.22.11-20; 2Ch.34.22-28). ¶Josiah then led a comprehensive religious reform, removing pagan worship sites, idols, and practices from Judah and Jerusalem (2Ki.23.1-25; 2Ch.34.29-35:19). He renewed the covenant between the people and God and celebrated the Passover with great dedication (2Ki.23.21-23; 2Ch.35.1-19). ¶Josiah's reign and reforms were praised by the prophets, including Jeremiah and Zephaniah (Jer.1.2; 3.6; 22.11, 18; 25.1, 3; 26.1; 35.1; 36.1-2, 9; Zep.1.1). However, Josiah's life came to a tragic end when he confronted Pharaoh Necho of Egypt at Megiddo and was killed in battle (2Ki.23.29-30; 2Ch.35.20-27). He was succeeded by his son Jehoahaz (2Ki.23.30; 2Ch.36.1). ¶Despite the reforms Josiah implemented, Judah's unfaithfulness persisted, and the nation ultimately faced the Babylonian exile (2Ki.23.26-27; Jer.25.1-14). Nonetheless, Josiah is remembered as a righteous king who sought to turn the nation back to God. ========== PERSON(s) Josiah@Zec.6.10-=H2977H Man living at the time of Exile and Return Zephaniah@Zec.6.10- + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Zec.6.10;

The crown was then to be placed on the head of Joshua, the high priest, as a symbol of the coming "Branch," a messianic figure who would build the temple and rule as both priest and king (Zec.6.11-13). ¶The name "Josiah" is used in verse 10, while "Hen" is used in verse 14.

The tribe of Judah played a prominent role in Israel's history, with notable figures such as Caleb, Othniel, and King David coming from this tribe. ¶After the reign of Solomon, the kingdom of Israel split into two: the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah (1 Kings 12). The southern kingdom, which included the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, remained loyal to the Davidic dynasty and the worship of God in Jerusalem. The kingdom of Judah lasted from about 930 BC until the Babylonian conquest in 586 BC. ¶Following the Babylonian exile, many Jews returned to the land of Judah, now a province of the Persian Empire (Ezra 1-6). During the Second Temple period, Judea became a province of the Roman Empire. In the New Testament, the terms "Jews" and "Judea" are often used to refer to the Jewish people and the region they inhabited. ¶The history of Judah, the Jews, and Judea is a central focus of the biblical narrative, with many of the key events, prophecies, and teachings revolving around this people and their relationship with God. The prophets, such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, often addressed their messages to Judah and warned of judgment for disobedience while also offering hope for restoration. ¶In the New Testament, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, is born in Judea and is recognized as the King of the Jews (Mat.2.2). The early Christian church began in Jerusalem, and many of the first converts were Jews (Acts 2). ¶Throughout the Bible, God's covenant relationship with the people of Judah, the Jews, and the inhabitants of Judea remains a central theme, highlighting His faithfulness, judgment, and redemptive purposes for all nations through the Jewish Messiah, Jesus Christ. ========== PERSON(s) Judah@Luk.3.30=G2455J Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Joseph@Luk.3.30 + Simeon@Luk.3.30 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Luk.3.30;

This genealogy traces Jesus' lineage through His mother Mary's family line, back to Adam. ¶In the genealogy, Judah is listed as the father of Simeon and the son of Joseph. He is one of the ancestors in the period between David and the Babylonian exile. ¶The inclusion of Judah in the genealogy demonstrates Jesus' connection to the tribe of Judah and the fulfillment of the messianic prophecies, which indicated that the Messiah would come from the line of David and the tribe of Judah (Gen.49.10; Isa.11.1-5; Mic.5.2). ¶No additional information is provided about this specific Judah's life or the historical context in which he lived.

These priests were part of the procession that walked on top of the wall, following Ezra the scribe (Neh.12.35-36). ¶The mention of Judah and the other priests playing musical instruments during the dedication ceremony emphasizes the role of worship and praise in the restoration of Jerusalem and the spiritual renewal of the people. The use of David's musical instruments also connects this celebration to the rich history of Israelite worship. ¶ ========== PERSON(s) Judah@Neh.12.8-=H3063J Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A musician living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Neh.12.8;

The context of the passage is the Jerusalem Council, where the early church leaders discussed and resolved the issue of Gentile believers and the Mosaic law (Act.15.1-35). ¶After the council reached a decision, they chose Judas Barsabbas and Silas, both described as leading men among the believers, to accompany Paul and Barnabas back to Antioch (Act.15.22). They carried a letter from the Jerusalem church, confirming the council's decision and encouraging the Gentile believers (Act.15.23-29). ¶In Antioch, Judas and Silas, being prophets, exhorted and strengthened the believers with many words (Act.15.32). This indicates that they had a recognized ministry of prophecy and encouragement within the early church. ¶After spending some time in Antioch, Judas and Silas were sent back to Jerusalem with the blessing of peace from the church (Act.15.33). No further details are provided about Judas Barsabbas' life or ministry beyond this event. ¶The inclusion of Judas Barsabbas in this narrative highlights the unity and cooperation among the early church leaders, as well as the importance of prophecy and encouragement in the growth and strengthening of the believers. ========== PERSON(s) Judas@Act.5.37=G2455K Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Act.5.37;

Straight Street was a well-known thoroughfare in the city, and Judas' house likely served as a meeting place for the early Christian community there. ¶No further information is provided about Judas' background, occupation, or role in the church.

He is mentioned in the lists of the apostles provided in the Synoptic Gospels and the book of Acts (Luk.6.16; Mat.10.3; Mrk.3.18; Act.1.13). ¶In the Gospel of John, he is referred to as "Judas (not Iscariot)" to distinguish him from Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus (Jhn.14.22). This distinction suggests that he was a different person from the other apostles named Judas. ¶The names Lebbaeus and Thaddaeus are likely surnames or alternative names for this Judas. The use of multiple names may indicate that he was known by different names in different communities or contexts. ¶Apart from being listed among the twelve apostles, little is known about Judas/Lebbaeus/Thaddaeus from the biblical text. In Jhn.14.22, he asks Jesus a question during the Last Supper discourse, indicating his presence and participation in that event. ¶As one of the twelve apostles, Judas/Lebbaeus/Thaddaeus would have been a close follower of Jesus, witnessing His teachings, miracles, death, and resurrection. He would have also played a role in the early spread of the gospel and the establishment of the Christian church, although the specific details of his ministry are not recorded in the Bible. @Ambiguity=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WI5gOd0O-wfPf5rjuRPW5yhxNFoedx2fssmgOQGYj7o/edit?tab=t.0#bookmark=id.vx7lvjkyxttg ========== PERSON(s) Judas@Mat.10.4-Act=G2455H Apostle living at the time of the New Testament Simon@Jhn.6.71- + > #An apostle living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Mat.10.4;

He is consistently identified as "Judas Iscariot" or "Judas, the one who betrayed Him" throughout the Gospels (Mat.10.4; 26.14; Mrk.3.19; Luk.6.16; Jhn.6.71). ¶Judas is first mentioned in the lists of the twelve apostles (Mat.10.4; Mrk.3.19; Luk.6.16). He served as the treasurer for the group, but he was also described as a thief who would take money from the common purse (Jhn.12.4-6). ¶During the Last Supper, Jesus predicted that one of His disciples would betray Him (Mat.26.21; Mrk.14.18; Luk.22.21; Jhn.13.21). Judas was identified as the betrayer when Jesus handed him a piece of bread (Jhn.13.26-27). After this, Judas left to carry out his plan (Jhn.13.30). ¶Judas approached the chief priests and offered to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver (Mat.26.14-16; Mrk.14.10-11; Luk.22.3-6). He then led a group of armed men to the Garden of Gethsemane, where he identified Jesus with a kiss, leading to His arrest (Mat.26.47-50; Mrk.14.43-46; Luk.22.47-48; Jhn.18.2-5). ¶After Jesus' condemnation, Judas, filled with remorse, tried to return the money to the chief priests and elders, but they refused to accept it. He then threw the money into the temple and went out and hanged himself (Mat.27.3-5). The chief priests used the money to buy a potter's field, which became known as the Field of Blood (Mat.27.6-10; Act.1.18-19). ¶The apostles later recognized Judas' betrayal as a fulfillment of prophecy (Act.1.16) and chose Matthias to replace him among the twelve (Act.1.23-26). ¶Judas' betrayal of Jesus played a crucial role in the events leading to Jesus' crucifixion and the ultimate fulfillment of God's plan of salvation. His actions serve as a tragic example of the consequences of greed, deceit, and turning away from God. ========== PERSON(s) Jude@Mat.13.55-Jud=G2455I Man living at the time of the New Testament Joseph@Mat.1.16-Jhn + Mary@Mat.1.16-Act Jesus@Isa.7.14-Rev, James@Mat.13.55-Jud, Joses@Mat.13.55-Mrk, Simon@Mat.13.55-Mrk Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Mat.13.55;

He is mentioned in the lists of Jesus' siblings in the Gospels (Mat.13.55; Mrk.6.3) and identifies himself as "Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James" in his epistle (Jud.1.1). ¶As one of Jesus' brothers, Jude would have grown up in the same household as Jesus in Nazareth. The Gospels mention that during Jesus' earthly ministry, His brothers did not believe in Him (Jhn.7.5). However, after the resurrection, they are found among the believers (Act.1.14), indicating that they came to faith in Christ. ¶Jude's epistle is one of the shortest books in the New Testament, consisting of only 25 verses. In it, he urges the believers to contend for the faith and warns against false teachers who have crept into the church (Jud.1.3-4). He employs various examples from the Old Testament and Jewish literature to illustrate the consequences of unbelief and rebellion against God (Jud.1.5-16). ¶The epistle of Jude emphasizes the importance of persevering in the faith, building up oneself in the love of God, and showing mercy to those who doubt (Jud.1.20-23). It concludes with a doxology, praising God for His ability to keep believers from stumbling and to present them blameless before His presence with great joy (Jud.1.24-25). ¶Apart from his epistle and the mention of his name in the lists of Jesus' brothers, no other details about Jude's life or ministry are provided in the Bible. ========== PERSON(s) Judith@Gen.26.34=H3067 Woman living at the time of the Patriarchs Beeri@Gen.26.34 + Esau@Gen.25.25-Heb Edom #A woman living at the time of the Patriarchs, only mentioned at Gen.26.34;

She was the daughter of Beeri the Hittite and is described as a Hittite woman. ¶The context of the passage is the account of Esau's marriages, which caused grief to his parents (Gen.26.34-35). Esau, at the age of forty, married Judith and another Hittite woman named Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite (Gen.26.34). ¶These marriages were a source of bitterness to Isaac and Rebekah because the Hittites were not part of the covenant people of God (Gen.26.35). The Hittites were one of the Canaanite tribes that inhabited the Promised Land before the Israelites, and God had commanded the Israelites not to intermarry with them (Deu.7.1-4). ¶Esau's choice to marry Hittite women demonstrated his disregard for the covenant and his parents' wishes, setting the stage for the conflict between him and his brother Israel (or 'Jacob'), who was chosen by God to inherit the covenant promises (Gen.25.23; 27.1-29). ¶ ========== PERSON(s) Julia@Rom.16.15=G2456 Woman living at the time of the New Testament + > #A woman living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Rom.16.15;

The context of the passage is the final chapter of Romans, where Paul extends personal greetings to various members of the Roman church (Rom.16.1-16). ¶In his greeting, Paul mentions Julia along with Philologus, Nereus, and his sister, as well as all the saints who are with them (Rom.16.15). This suggests that Julia was part of a group of believers who were closely associated, possibly as members of a house church or a fellowship group within the larger Roman church. ¶The fact that Julia is mentioned by name indicates that she was known to Paul and played a role in the Christian community in Rome. However, no further details are provided about her background, occupation, or specific contributions to the church. ¶The inclusion of Julia in Paul's greetings underscores the importance of personal relationships and the recognition of individual believers within the early church. It also highlights the presence of women in the early Christian community and their active participation in the life and ministry of the church. ¶Apart from this brief mention in Paul's letter, no other information about Julia is found in the Bible. ========== PERSON(s) Julius@Act.27.1-=G2457 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.27.1;

The context of the passage is Paul's journey to Rome as a prisoner, where he would stand trial before Caesar (Act.25.11-12; 27.1-44). ¶As a centurion, Julius was a Roman officer in charge of a group of soldiers. The Augustan Cohort was a special unit, possibly associated with the imperial household or the emperor himself. Julius' assignment to escort Paul to Rome indicates the importance of Paul's case and the Roman authorities' interest in ensuring his safe arrival. ¶During the journey, Julius treated Paul kindly and allowed him to visit his friends and receive care from them when they stopped at Sidon (Act.27.3). This act of kindness suggests that Julius recognized Paul's unique status as a Roman citizen and an important prisoner. ¶Throughout the difficult sea voyage, which included a shipwreck on the island of Malta (Act.27.41-44), Julius played a significant role in ensuring Paul's safety and the safety of the other prisoners. His actions demonstrate the respect and fair treatment that Paul received from some Roman officials during his imprisonment and journey to Rome. ¶Apart from his role in escorting Paul to Rome, no other details about Julius' life or military career are provided in the Bible. ========== PERSON(s) Junia@Rom.16.7=G2458 Woman living at the time of the New Testament + > #A woman living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Rom.16.7;

The context of the passage is the final chapter of Romans, where Paul extends personal greetings to various members of the Roman church (Rom.16.1-16). ¶In his greeting, Paul mentions Andronicus and Junia, describing them as his fellow Jews, his relatives, and his fellow prisoners (Rom.16.7). He also states that they were in Christ before him, indicating their early conversion and involvement in the Christian faith. ¶Notably, Paul refers to Andronicus and Junia as "outstanding among the apostles" (Rom.16.7, NIV). This phrase has been interpreted in two ways: either they were well-known and respected by the apostles, or they were themselves apostles, recognized for their significant contributions to the early church. The latter interpretation would make Junia one of the few women explicitly identified as an apostle in the New Testament. ¶The fact that Junia had been imprisoned with Paul suggests that she faced persecution and hardship for her faith and ministry. Her inclusion in Paul's greetings, along with the recognition of her apostolic status, highlights her important role and leadership in the early church. ¶Apart from this brief mention in Paul's letter, no other information about Junia's life, ministry, or specific contributions to the church is provided in the Bible. ========== PERSON(s) Jushab-hesed@1Ch.3.20=H3142 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Zerubbabel@1Ch.3.19-Mat + Meshullam@1Ch.3.19, Hananiah@1Ch.3.19-, Shelomith@1Ch.3.19, Hashubah@1Ch.3.20, Ohel@1Ch.3.20, Berechiah@1Ch.3.20, Hasadiah@1Ch.3.20, Abiud@Mat.1.13 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.3.20;

The context of the passage is the genealogy of the royal line of David, focusing on the descendants of Jehoiachin after the Babylonian exile (1Ch.3.17-24). ¶Jushab-hesed is listed along with his brothers: Meshullam, Hananiah, Shelomith (their sister), Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah, and Jushab-hesed (1Ch.3.19-20). The repetition of Jushab-hesed's name in verse 20 has led some scholars to suggest that it may be a scribal error or that there were two individuals with the same name. ¶As a descendant of Jehoiachin and Zerubbabel, Jushab-hesed would have been part of the royal lineage of David during the post-exilic period. However, no further information is provided about his life, role, or significance in the biblical narrative. ¶The inclusion of Jushab-hesed in the genealogy of David's descendants demonstrates the continuity of the royal line and God's faithfulness to His promises to David, even through the difficult period of the Babylonian exile and its aftermath. ========== PERSON(s) Justus@Act.18.7=G2459G Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Act.18.7;

The context of the passage is Paul's missionary work in Corinth, where he initially preached in the synagogue but faced opposition from some of the Jews (Act.18.1-6). ¶After leaving the synagogue, Paul went to the house of Titius Justus, which was next door to the synagogue (Act.18.7). Titius Justus is described as a worshiper of God, indicating that he was a Gentile who had embraced the Jewish faith and worshiped the God of Israel, although he may not have fully converted to Judaism. ¶By hosting Paul in his home, Titius Justus provided a strategic location for the apostle to continue his ministry and reach out to both Jews and Gentiles in Corinth. Paul's presence in Titius Justus' house, right next to the synagogue, may have also served as a powerful statement of the growing Gentile acceptance of the gospel message. ¶The fact that Paul chose to stay with Titius Justus highlights the importance of Gentile believers in the early church and their role in supporting and furthering the spread of the gospel. It also demonstrates Paul's willingness to engage with Gentile believers and his commitment to preaching the message of Christ to all people, regardless of their background. ¶Apart from this brief mention in the book of Acts, no other information about Titius Justus' life, conversion, or subsequent role in the church is provided in the Bible. ========== PERSON(s) Justus@Col.4.11=G2459H Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Col.4.11;

The context of the passage is Paul's final greetings and instructions to the Colossian church, where he mentions several individuals who have been a comfort and support to him (Col.4.7-18). ¶In his greeting, Paul identifies Jesus Justus as one of his fellow workers for the kingdom of God, along with Aristarchus, Mark, and Epaphras (Col.4.10-12). He specifically notes that Jesus Justus, Aristarchus, and Mark are the only Jewish believers among his co-workers, emphasizing their importance and the encouragement they provided to him. ¶The fact that Jesus Justus is mentioned by both his Jewish name (Jesus) and his Roman surname (Justus) suggests that he was a Hellenistic Jew who had adopted a Roman name, possibly indicating his familiarity with Gentile culture and his ability to relate to both Jewish and Gentile believers. ¶Paul's mention of Jesus Justus as a fellow worker and a source of comfort during his imprisonment highlights the significance of Jewish believers who embraced the gospel message and supported Paul's ministry. It also underscores the unity and collaboration among believers from different backgrounds in the early church. ¶Apart from this brief mention in Paul's letter to the Colossians, no other information about Jesus Justus' life, conversion, or specific contributions to Paul's ministry. ========== PERSON(s) Kadmiel@Ezr.2.40-Neh=H6934 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + Jeshua@Neh.12.24 > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.40;

They pledged their allegiance to Gedaliah and agreed to serve the Babylonians (Jer.40.9-10). ¶Later, when Johanan learned of a plot by Ishmael to assassinate Gedaliah, he warned the governor, but Gedaliah did not believe him (Jer.40.13-16). After Ishmael carried out the assassination and fled with captives, Johanan and his men pursued Ishmael and rescued the captives (Jer.41.11-16). ¶Following these events, Johanan, his brother Jonathan, and the other military leaders sought the advice of Jeremiah the prophet, asking whether they should stay in Judah or flee to Egypt (Jer.42.1-3). Despite Jeremiah's warning to stay in the land, Johanan and the others disobeyed and took the remnant of Judah, including Jeremiah, to Egypt (Jer.43.2-7). ¶Throughout these passages, Kareah is consistently mentioned as the father of Johanan and Jonathan, highlighting their family connection and the significance of their roles in the events surrounding the fall of Jerusalem and its aftermath. The actions of Johanan and Jonathan, as well as their disobedience to Jeremiah's prophetic word, had far-reaching consequences for the remnant of Judah. ========== PERSON(s) Kedar@Gen.25.13-Ezk=H6938 Arabian living at the time of the Patriarchs Ishmael@Gen.16.11-Psa + Nebaioth@Gen.25.13-Isa, Adbeel@Gen.25.13-1Ch, Mibsam@Gen.25.13-1Ch, Mishma@Gen.25.14-1Ch, Dumah@Gen.25.14-1Ch, Massa@Gen.25.14-1Ch, Hadad@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Tema@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Jetur@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Naphish@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Kedemah@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Mahalath@Gen.28.9- Arabia #A man of the Arabs living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.25.13;

They lived in the region of Canaan and were generally friendly to the Israelites, often providing them with assistance and support. ¶The Kenites are first mentioned in Gen.15.19 as one of the tribes inhabiting the land that God promised to give to Abraham's descendants. In Num.24.21, the Kenites are described as having a strong and secure dwelling place, possibly indicating their skill in metalworking and their strategic location. ¶During the Israelites' conquest of Canaan, the Kenites, particularly Hobab (also known as Jethro), Moses' father-in-law, joined the tribe of Judah and settled in the Negev region (Jdg.1.16). The Kenites maintained a close relationship with the Israelites, as evidenced by the story of Jael, a Kenite woman who killed Sisera, the commander of the Canaanite army, aiding the Israelite victory (Jdg.4.11, 17-22; 5.24). ¶The Kenites' loyalty to the Israelites is further demonstrated when Saul, during his campaign against the Amalekites, warned the Kenites to separate themselves from the Amalekites to avoid being destroyed along with them (1Sa.15.6). The Kenites heeded this warning and remained on friendly terms with the Israelites. ¶Later, during David's time as a fugitive from Saul, he sent gifts to the Kenites, among other friendly tribes, acknowledging their support (1Sa.27.10; 30.29). ¶In 1Ch.2.55, the Kenites are mentioned as scribes living in Jabez, suggesting that some Kenites may have taken on administrative roles within Israelite society. ¶Throughout the biblical narrative, the Kenites are portrayed as a friendly and supportive tribe to the Israelites, playing a role in their early history and settlement in the Promised Land. ========== PERSON(s) Kenizzites@Gen.15.19=H7074G People from Keniz(?) + > #People from Keniz(?), only mentioned at Gen.15.19;

The mention of the Kenizzites in the context of God's covenant with Abraham highlights the challenges the Israelites would face in taking possession of the land, as it was already inhabited by various Canaanite tribes. ¶Apart from this single mention in the list of Canaanite tribes, no further information is provided about the Kenizzites' specific location, culture, or history in the Bible.

These sons became the ancestors of various tribes and nations, expanding Abraham's descendants beyond the primary line of Isaac and Ishmael. ¶Abraham gave gifts to the sons of Keturah and sent them away to the east, separating them from his son Isaac to avoid conflict over the inheritance (Gen.25.6). This action ensured that Isaac, the child of promise, would be the primary heir of Abraham's legacy and covenant blessings. ¶The mention of Keturah and her sons in the genealogies of Abraham demonstrates the fulfillment of God's promise to make Abraham a father of many nations (Gen.17.4-6).

He is introduced in 1Sa.9.1 as a wealthy and influential man. Kish's donkeys went missing, and he sent his son Saul and a servant to search for them (1Sa.9.3). This journey led to Saul's meeting with the prophet Samuel, who anointed him as king over Israel (1Sa.10.1). ¶Kish is mentioned several times in the context of Saul's kingship. He was present when Saul was chosen by lot as king at Mizpah (1Sa.10.21). Later, when Saul faced a Philistine threat, some people questioned his ability to lead, referring to him as "the son of Kish" (1Sa.10.11). ¶Kish's family background is further elaborated in the genealogies of the tribe of Benjamin (1Ch.8.30, 33; 9.36, 39). These passages confirm Kish as the father of Saul and provide details about his ancestors and descendants. ¶After Saul's death, David honored the remains of Saul and his son Jonathan by burying them in the tomb of Kish at Zela (2Sa.21.14). This act demonstrates David's respect for Saul's family and his desire to bring closure to the tragic events surrounding Saul's reign. ¶In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul, in his speech at Antioch, mentions Kish as the father of Saul when recounting the history of Israel (Act.13.21). ¶Throughout the biblical narrative, Kish is primarily known as the father of Saul, the first king of Israel.

He is specifically identified as a descendant of Merari, one of the three main Levitical clans. ¶The context of this passage is Hezekiah's reforms and his efforts to restore proper worship in Judah (2Ch.29.3-11). As part of this restoration, Hezekiah called upon the Levites to sanctify themselves and cleanse the temple, which had fallen into disrepair and defilement during the reign of previous kings. ¶Kish, along with other Levites from the clans of Kohath, Merari, and Gershon, responded to the king's command and took part in the purification process (2Ch.29.12-15). They removed the unclean items from the temple, consecrated the utensils and furnishings, and prepared the temple for proper worship. ¶The mention of Kish in this context highlights the importance of the Levites' role in maintaining the sanctity of the temple and their willingness to participate in the religious reforms initiated by King Hezekiah.

When Korah's followers presented incense offerings, the Lord destroyed them with fire (Num.16.35). The earth opened and swallowed Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and their households (Num.16.31-33). Korah's sons, however, did not die (Num.26.11). The bronze censers of the rebels were made into a covering for the altar, as a reminder not to rebel against the Lord (Num.16.38-40). Korah's descendants became temple musicians (1Ch.6.22,37; Psa.42-49; 84-88) and gatekeepers (1Ch.9.19; 26.1,19).

Jesus went to the tomb and called for Lazarus to come out, and Lazarus emerged, still wrapped in burial cloths (Jhn.11.43-44). This miraculous sign led many to believe in Jesus (Jhn.11.45). Later, Jesus visited Lazarus' home, where Martha served a meal and Mary anointed Jesus' feet with perfume (Jhn.12.1-3). The chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus because his resurrection caused many to believe in Jesus (Jhn.12.9-11).

In the parable, Lazarus is described as a beggar covered with sores who longed to eat the crumbs falling from the rich man's table (Luk.16.20-21). When both men died, Lazarus was carried by angels to Abraham's side in heaven, while the rich man found himself in Hades, in torment (Luk.16.22-23). The rich man called out to Abraham, asking him to send Lazarus to dip his finger in water and cool his tongue (Luk.16.24). However, Abraham replied that a great chasm separated them and that it was impossible for anyone to cross from one side to the other (Luk.16.25-26).

He is mentioned in the genealogy of Abraham's descendants through Keturah, which is recorded after the death of Sarah. The Leummim are listed among the descendants of Jokshan, along with the Asshurim and Letushim. No further information is provided about Leummim or his descendants in the biblical record. It is likely that they became a tribe or clan that settled in the region of Arabia, as many of Abraham's descendants through Keturah are associated with Arab tribes. ========== PERSON(s) Levi@Gen.29.34-Rev=H3878 Jacob's son living at the time of the Patriarchs Israel@Gen.25.26-Rev + Leah@Gen.29.16-Rut Reuben@Gen.29.32-Rev, Simeon@Gen.29.33-Rev, Judah@Gen.29.35-Rev, Dan@Gen.30.6-1Ch, Naphtali@Gen.30.8-Rev, Gad@Gen.30.11-Rev, Asher@Gen.30.13-Rev, Issachar@Gen.30.18-Rev, Zebulun@Gen.30.20-Rev, Dinah@Gen.30.21-, Joseph@Gen.30.24-Rev, Benjamin@Gen.35.18-Rev Gershon@Gen.46.11-2Ch, Kohath@Gen.46.11-2Ch, Merari@Gen.46.11-Ezr, Jochebed@Exo.6.20-Num Tribe of Levi #A man who founded the tribe of Levi living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.29.34;

Along with his brother Simeon, he took revenge on the Shechemites for the rape of their sister Dinah (Gen.34.25-31). Jacob rebuked them for this act on his deathbed (Gen.49.5-7). Levi had three sons: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari (Gen.46.11; Exo.6.16). His descendants, the Levites, were set apart as the priestly tribe (Exo.32.26-29; Num.3.5-13). They were responsible for the tabernacle and its services (Num.1.47-54; 3.14-39; 4.1-49; 8.5-26). The Levites were given cities throughout Israel, but no territorial inheritance (Num.35.1-8; Jos.21.1-42). Notable Levites include Moses, Aaron, and Samuel. The Levites are frequently mentioned in the historical and prophetic books of the Old Testament, as well as in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles. In the New Testament, Levites are mentioned in connection with the temple and its services (Luk.10.32; Jhn.1.19; Act.4.36).

During the time of David, the Libnites were counted among the Levites and given duties in the service of the tabernacle (1Ch.23.7-9). The sons of Libni, Jehiel and Zetham, along with their relatives, were given charge of the treasuries of the house of the Lord (1Ch.26.21-22). ========== PERSON(s) Likhi@1Ch.7.19=H3949 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Shemida@Num.26.32-1Ch + Ahian@1Ch.7.19, Shechem@1Ch.7.19, Aniam@1Ch.7.19 Tribe of Manasseh #A man from the tribe of Manasseh living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at 1Ch.7.19;

In Paul's second letter to Timothy, he asked Timothy to greet Linus, along with other believers such as Eubulus, Pudens, and Claudia. This suggests that Linus was a member of the Christian community in Rome and likely known to both Paul and Timothy. Some early church traditions identify Linus as the second bishop of Rome, succeeding Peter, but this cannot be confirmed from the biblical text alone. ========== PERSON(s) Lo-ammi@Hos.1.9=H3818 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Hosea@Hos.1.1-Rom + Gomer@Hos.1.3 Jezreel@Hos.1.4, Lo-ruhamah@Hos.1.6- > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Hos.1.9;

The name Lo-ammi means "not my people" in Hebrew. This name, along with the names of Hosea's other children, Jezreel and Lo-ruhamah, was used by God to convey a message to the people of Israel. The name Lo-ammi symbolized God's rejection of Israel due to their unfaithfulness and idolatry. God declared that He would no longer consider Israel as His people and would withdraw His mercy from them (Hos.1.9). This message was part of Hosea's prophecy, which called the Israelites to repentance and warned of the consequences of their disobedience. The symbolic names of Hosea's children served as a powerful visual reminder of God's judgment and the broken relationship between God and His people. ========== PERSON(s) Lois@2Ti.1.5=G3090 Woman living at the time of the New Testament + father_of_Eunice@2Ti.1.5 Eunice@2Ti.1.5 > #A woman living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at 2Ti.1.5;

In Paul's second letter to Timothy, he mentioned Lois and her daughter Eunice, Timothy's mother, commending them for their sincere faith. Paul noted that this faith first dwelt in Lois before being passed down to Eunice and then to Timothy. This suggests that Lois played a significant role in the spiritual upbringing and nurturing of her grandson, Timothy. It is likely that Lois, along with Eunice, taught Timothy the Scriptures from a young age, laying a strong foundation for his faith and future ministry (2Ti.3.14-15). Although no other details are provided about Lois in the Bible, her legacy of faith and her influence on Timothy's life serve as a testament to the importance of passing on spiritual values from one generation to the next. ========== PERSON(s) Lo-ruhamah@Hos.1.6-=H3819 Woman living at the time of Divided Monarchy Hosea@Hos.1.1-Rom + Gomer@Hos.1.3 Jezreel@Hos.1.4, Lo-ammi@Hos.1.9 > #A woman living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at Hos.1.6;

The name Lo-ruhamah means "not pitied" or "not shown mercy" in Hebrew. This name, along with the names of Hosea's other children, Jezreel and Lo-ammi, was used by God to convey a message to the people of Israel. The name Lo-ruhamah symbolized God's decision to withdraw His mercy and compassion from Israel due to their persistent unfaithfulness (Hos.1.6). God declared that He would no longer show love to the house of Israel or forgive them (Hos.1.6,8). This message was part of Hosea's prophecy, which called the Israelites to repentance and warned of the consequences of their disobedience.

Lot was captured when Sodom was invaded, but Abraham rescued him (Gen.14.12,16). Despite the wickedness of Sodom, Lot continued living there (Gen.19.1). When God revealed His plan to destroy the city, Abraham pleaded for Lot's safety (Gen.18.16-33). Two angels warned Lot to flee Sodom with his family (Gen.19.1-22). Lot's wife disobeyed and was turned into a pillar of salt (Gen.19.26; Luk.17.32). Lot and his daughters escaped to Zoar and later settled in a cave (Gen.19.30). Lot's daughters, believing they were the last survivors, got him drunk and slept with him, resulting in the births of Moab and Ammon (Gen.19.31-38; Psa.83.8). The New Testament describes Lot as a righteous man distressed by the debauchery of Sodom (2Pe.2.7).

Cyrene was a city in modern-day Libya, North Africa, indicating that Lucius may have been of African origin. As a prophet and teacher, Lucius would have been involved in proclaiming God's word and instructing the believers in Antioch. It was during a time of worship and fasting that the Holy Spirit called Barnabas and Saul to be set apart for the work of spreading the gospel to the Gentiles. Lucius, along with the other leaders, laid their hands on Barnabas and Saul and sent them off on their first missionary journey, which marked a significant expansion of the early Christian church.

The prophet Isaiah also includes Lud among the nations that will come to know the glory of the Lord (Isa.66.19).

He is best known as the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. Although not mentioned by name in these books, early church tradition unanimously attributes them to Luke. His writings suggest that he was well-educated and had a keen eye for historical detail. Luke accompanied Paul on several missionary journeys, as evidenced by the "we" passages in Acts (Act.16.10-17; 20.5-21.18; 27.1-28.16). He remained with Paul during his imprisonment in Rome (2Ti.4.11). In Paul's letters, Luke is described as a beloved friend and fellow worker in the gospel (Col.4.14; Phm.1.24). His medical background may have been helpful during Paul's travels and ministry. Luke's Gospel emphasizes the humanity of Jesus, His compassion for the marginalized, and the universal scope of His message.

She was living in Philippi, a Roman colony in Macedonia, when she encountered the apostle Paul and his companions. Lydia is described as a worshiper of God, suggesting that she was a Gentile who followed the Jewish faith. When Paul preached the gospel, the Lord opened her heart to respond to his message (Act.16.14). Lydia and her household were baptized, becoming the first recorded converts in Europe (Act.16.15). She then invited Paul and his companions to stay at her home, demonstrating her hospitality and eagerness to support the spreading of the gospel (Act.16.15). After Paul and Silas were released from prison, they visited Lydia's house and met with the believers before departing from Philippi (Act.16.40). Lydia's conversion and her role in hosting the early church in Philippi highlight the importance of women in the early Christian movement and the gospel's appeal to people from various backgrounds. ========== PERSON(s) Lysanias@Luk.3.1=G3078 Tetrarch of Abilene living at the time of the New Testament + > #Tetrarch of Abilene living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Luk.3.1;

He is mentioned in the Gospel of Luke as one of the rulers in power when John the Baptist began his ministry. The title "tetrarch" indicates that Lysanias governed a portion of a divided territory. Historical records suggest that he may have been a descendant of an earlier Lysanias who ruled Chalcis and was executed by Mark Antony in 36 BC. Apart from this brief mention in Luke's Gospel, no further details about Lysanias' life or rule are provided in the Bible. His inclusion in the list of rulers helps to establish the historical and political context of John the Baptist's ministry and the beginning of Jesus' public ministry. ========== PERSON(s) Lysias@Act.23.26-=G3079 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.23.26;

When Paul was attacked by a Jewish mob in the temple, Lysias intervened with his soldiers and took Paul into custody (Act.21.30-33). Upon learning of a plot to kill Paul, Lysias arranged for him to be transferred to Caesarea under armed guard to appear before Felix, the governor (Act.23.12-35). In his letter to Felix, Lysias explained the circumstances of Paul's arrest and his decision to send him to the governor for judgment (Act.23.26-30). Lysias admitted that he had initially arrested Paul thinking he was a rebel, but later learned that the charges against him were related to Jewish religious disputes (Act.23.28-29). Lysias' actions demonstrate his commitment to maintaining order and ensuring that Paul received a fair trial under Roman law. His letter to Felix also serves as an official record of the events surrounding Paul's arrest and transfer to Caesarea. ========== PERSON(s) Maacah@1Ch.11.43=H4601O Warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Hanan@1Ch.11.43 > #A warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.11.43;

However, she was removed from this role by her grandson, King Asa, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah (1Ki.15.13; 2Ch.15.16).

She became one of King David's wives and bore him a son named Absalom. Maacah's marriage to David likely served as a political alliance between Israel and Geshur. Absalom, her son, would later flee to Geshur after murdering his half-brother Amnon and remained there for three years (2Sa.13.37-38). Although not mentioned by name, Maacah was likely the mother of Tamar, who was raped by her half-brother Amnon (2Sa.13.1-22).

Upon their return, the scouts reported that the land was bountiful but the inhabitants were powerful, which discouraged the Israelites and led to their refusal to enter the land (Num.13.25-33).

He is mentioned numerous times throughout the Old Testament, often in relation to the settlement and inheritance of the tribe of Manasseh. Machir's descendants, known as the Machirites, formed a substantial portion of the tribe (Num.26.29; Jos.17.1). They were known for their military prowess and were praised in the Song of Deborah (Jdg.5.14). The Machirites, along with the Reubenites and Gadites, conquered and settled in the land of Gilead, east of the Jordan River (Num.32.39-40; Deu.3.15; Jos.13.31). Machir's daughters, Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah, appealed to Moses for the right to inherit their father's property in the absence of male heirs, setting a precedent for inheritance laws (Num.27.1; 36.1; Jos.17.3).

According to Genesis 5, Mahalalel was the son of Kenan and the father of Jared (Gen.5.12,15). He lived for 895 years, which was typical of the long lifespans recorded for the pre-flood patriarchs (Gen.5.13,16,17). The genealogies in Genesis 5 and 1 Chronicles 1 focus on the line of descent from Adam to Noah, highlighting the continuity of the godly lineage before the flood. The genealogy in Luke 3 traces Jesus' ancestry back to Adam, emphasizing His connection to all of humanity. Mahalalel's inclusion in these genealogies serves to establish the historical and theological context of God's plan of redemption through the descendants of Seth, ultimately leading to the birth of Jesus Christ. ========== PERSON(s) Mahalalel@Neh.11.4=H4111H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + Shephatiah@Neh.11.4 > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.11.4;

She was the daughter of Jerimoth, who was a son of David, making her a granddaughter of King David. Rehoboam's marriage to Mahalath, along with his other wife Abihail, is recorded in the context of his family life and his establishment of his royal household (2Ch.11.18-23). The chronicler notes that Rehoboam loved Mahalath and Abihail more than his other wives and concubines (2Ch.11.21). This marriage alliance with a descendant of David likely served to strengthen Rehoboam's claim to the throne and his connection to the Davidic dynasty.

She was the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son with Hagar, making her Esau's cousin (Gen.28.9). Esau married Mahalath in addition to his other wives, who were Hittite women (Gen.26.34; 28.8-9). This marriage likely strengthened the ties between Esau's descendants, the Edomites, and the Ishmaelites. Mahalath is mentioned in the genealogies of Esau, which list his wives, children, and descendants (Gen.36.4,10,13,17). These genealogies emphasize the importance of family lineage and the relationships between different people groups in the ancient Near East. The Bible does not provide further details about Mahalath's personal life or her role in the family dynamics of Esau's household.

The mighty warriors were instrumental in establishing and maintaining David's kingdom, as they provided military support and leadership.

He began his reign at the age of twelve and ruled for fifty-five years, making him the longest-reigning king of Judah. However, Manasseh's reign was marked by evil and idolatry. He rebuilt the high places that his father had destroyed, erected altars for Baal, and made an Asherah pole. He even sacrificed his own son and practiced sorcery and divination. Manasseh's actions led the people of Judah astray, and they did more evil than the nations that God had destroyed before the Israelites. As a result, God announced judgment on Judah and Jerusalem, stating that He would wipe them out like a dish, turning it upside down. Manasseh also shed much innocent blood, filling Jerusalem from end to end. However, when Manasseh was captured by the Assyrians and taken to Babylon, he humbled himself before God and prayed. God heard his prayer and restored him to Jerusalem, where Manasseh acknowledged the Lord as God and attempted to undo some of the evil he had done. Despite this, the damage to Judah was severe, and the nation continued to face the consequences of Manasseh's sins even after his death.

When Israel (or 'Jacob') blessed Joseph's sons, he gave the greater blessing to Ephraim, the younger son, despite Joseph's objection. The tribe of Manasseh, along with Ephraim, became one of the twelve tribes of Israel. ¶During the Exodus, the tribe of Manasseh was counted in the census and arranged in the camp under their standard. They had a significant population and contributed to the army. Notable descendants of Manasseh include Gaddi, who was among the twelve spies sent to explore Canaan, and Zelophehad's daughters, who received an inheritance among their uncles due to their father's lack of sons. ¶When the Promised Land was divided, half of the tribe of Manasseh settled east of the Jordan River, while the other half settled west of the Jordan. The eastern portion of Manasseh, along with Reuben and Gad, assisted in the conquest of Canaan before returning to their inheritance. The western portion of Manasseh received cities and territories, including the city of refuge, Golan. ¶Throughout Israel's history, the tribe of Manasseh played significant roles. They participated in the conquest of Canaan, fought alongside Gideon against the Midianites, and joined David's army. However, they also faced challenges, such as incomplete conquest of their territories and occasional conflicts with other tribes. ¶In later prophecies, Manasseh is mentioned as part of the restored Israel. The tribe is also listed among the sealed servants of God in the Book of Revelation. ¶Manasseh is also used to refer to the territory allotted to the tribe of Manasseh. The tribe's inheritance was divided between the eastern and western portions of the Promised Land. ¶The eastern portion of Manasseh's territory was conquered by Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, and was named Havvoth-jair. This region was known for its small towns and villages. ¶The western portion of Manasseh's territory was located in the heart of Canaan. It included cities such as Beth-shean, Ibleam, Dor, En-dor, Taanach, and Megiddo, along with their villages. However, the Manassites were unable to drive out the Canaanites from these cities completely. ¶Manasseh's territory also included the city of refuge, Golan, in the region of Bashan. This city was designated as a place of asylum for those who unintentionally caused the death of another person. ¶The territory of Manasseh is mentioned in the context of the conquest of Canaan, the division of the land among the tribes, and the establishment of cities of refuge. It is also noted in the description of the regions that remained loyal to the house of David during the reign of King Pekah of Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Manoah@Jdg.13.2-=H4495 Samson's father living before Israel's Monarchy + Samson@Jdg.13.24-Heb > #A man living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Jdg.13.2;

However, he left them at Perga and returned to Jerusalem (Act.13.13), which later caused a disagreement between Paul and Barnabas (Act.15.37-39). Despite this, Mark remained active in ministry, as evidenced by Paul's later references to him as a fellow worker (Phm.1.24; 2Ti.4.11). He also worked closely with Peter, who referred to him as "my son Mark" (1Pe.5.13).

This act of devotion and love was criticized by Judas Iscariot, but Jesus defended her, stating that she had anointed Him for His burial (Jhn.12.3-8). ========== PERSON(s) Mary@Mat.1.16-Act=G3137G Jesus' mother living at the time of the New Testament Heli@Luk.3.23 + wife_of_Heli@Luk.1.5 Salome@Mat.20.20-Mrk(?)

She was likely a sister of Salome (see Jhn.19.25 and Gosple of Thomas but contra Diatessaron). Before their marriage, an angel appeared to Mary, announcing that she would conceive a child by the Holy Spirit and name Him Jesus. Mary humbly accepted this divine plan, and the virgin birth of Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of the Messiah (Mat.1.16, 18, 20; Luk.1.26-38). After Jesus' birth in Bethlehem, Mary and Joseph presented Him at the temple, where Simeon prophesied that a sword would pierce her soul (Luk.2.5, 16, 19, 34). Mary treasured these events in her heart. She and Joseph raised Jesus in Nazareth, and He was known as the son of Mary (Mat.13.55; Mrk.6.3). During Jesus' crucifixion, Mary stood near the cross with other women, including her sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene (Mat.27.56, 61; Mrk.15.40, 47). After Jesus' resurrection, Mary was among the women who went to the tomb and later informed the disciples (Mat.28.1; Mrk.16.1; Luk.24.10).

Matthew responded immediately, leaving his tax booth and hosting a great feast for Jesus in his home, inviting other tax collectors and sinners (Luk.5.29). As an apostle, Matthew witnessed Jesus' ministry, death, and resurrection.

The criteria for the new apostle were that he had to have been with Jesus from His baptism by John until His ascension and be a witness to His resurrection. Two men were proposed: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. After praying, the apostles cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias, who was then numbered with the eleven apostles (Act.1.21-26).

However, due to the lack of additional information in the Bible, the identity and location of the Mecherathites remain uncertain. ========== PERSON(s) Medad@Num.11.26-=H4312 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness + > #A man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Num.11.26;

When Moses appointed seventy elders to assist him in leading the people, the Lord took some of the Spirit that was on Moses and put it on the seventy elders. However, Eldad and Medad, who were listed among the elders but had not gone to the tent of meeting, began prophesying in the camp. When Joshua urged Moses to stop them, Moses responded, "Are you jealous for my sake? I wish that all the Lord's people were prophets and that the Lord would put his Spirit on them!" (Num.11.26-29). This event demonstrates that the Spirit of God can work through individuals unexpectedly and that God's power is not limited to human structures or expectations. ========== PERSON(s) Medan@Gen.25.2-1Ch=H4091 Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Abraham@Gen.11.26-1Pe + Keturah@Gen.25.1-1Ch Ishmael@Gen.16.11-Psa, Isaac@Gen.17.19-Jas, Zimran@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Jokshan@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Midian@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Ishbak@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Shuah@Gen.25.2-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.25.2;

Medan is also mentioned in the genealogy of Abraham's descendants in 1Ch.1.32.

She was the daughter of Matred and the granddaughter of Me-zahab (Gen.36.39; 1Ch.1.50). The Edomites were descendants of Esau, the twin brother of Israel (or 'Jacob'), and they settled in the region southeast of Judah. The mention of Mehetabel in the genealogy suggests that she held a significant position as the queen of Edom during her husband's reign. However, no further details about her life or role are provided in the biblical text. ========== PERSON(s) Mehetabel@Neh.6.10=H4105H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + Delaiah@Neh.6.10 > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.6.10;

Shemaiah, a man described as "the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel," was hired by Nehemiah's enemies, Sanballat and Tobiah, to intimidate Nehemiah and hinder the work on the wall. Shemaiah invited Nehemiah to meet with him in the temple and suggested that they close the doors, claiming that there was a plot to kill Nehemiah. However, Nehemiah perceived that Shemaiah was not sent by God and that his prophecy was intended to frighten Nehemiah and discredit him (Neh.6.10-13). Mehetabel's role in this narrative is limited to being mentioned as an ancestor of Shemaiah, providing context for Shemaiah's background and family lineage. ========== PERSON(s) Mehida@Ezr.2.52-Neh=H4240 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.52;

The descendants of Mehida were among the temple servants, also known as Nethinim, who were assigned to assist the Levites in the maintenance and service of the temple (Ezr.2.52; Neh.7.54). The Nethinim were a group of people who had been dedicated to the service of the temple, possibly descendants of the Gibeonites who were assigned by Joshua to be woodcutters and water carriers for the house of God (Jos.9.27). The inclusion of Mehida's descendants in the list of returning exiles highlights the importance of the temple servants in the restoration of worship in Jerusalem after the exile. ========== PERSON(s) Mehir@1Ch.4.11=H4243 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Chelub@1Ch.4.11 + Eshton@1Ch.4.11- Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.4.11;

The genealogies in 1 Chronicles often serve to establish the lineage and inheritance rights of prominent families in Israel, particularly in the context of the post-exilic period when these records were compiled. However, due to the lack of additional details, Mehir's role and significance in the family of Judah remain unknown. ========== PERSON(s) Meholathites@1Sa.18.19-2Sa=H4259 People from Meholath(?) + > #People from Meholath(?), first mentioned at 1Sa.18.19;

Two individuals are specifically identified as Meholathites in the Bible. The first is Adriel, who was married to Saul's daughter Merab, although she had originally been promised to David (1Sa.18.19). The second is Barzillai, whose son married Saul's daughter Michal after she was taken from David and given to another man (2Sa.21.8). The Meholathites' connection to Saul's family suggests that they may have been influential in the region during the early monarchical period in Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Mehujael@Gen.4.18=H4232 Man living at the time before the Flood Irad@Gen.4.18 + Methushael@Gen.4.18 Early Patriarch #A man living at the time before the Flood, first mentioned at Gen.4.18;

Mehujael was the son of Irad and the father of Methushael (Gen.4.18). The genealogy in Genesis 4 traces the descendants of Cain, highlighting the development of civilization and the increasing wickedness of humanity, which eventually led to the judgment of the flood. Mehujael's name is of Hebrew origin and can be translated as "smitten by God" or "blot out that Jah is God," possibly reflecting the growing rebellion against God among Cain's descendants. ========== PERSON(s) Mehuman@Est.1.10=H4104 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Est.1.10;

In the book of Esther, King Ahasuerus summoned these seven eunuchs—Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas—to bring Queen Vashti before him during a great feast, so that he could display her beauty to the people and nobles (Est.1.10-11). However, Queen Vashti refused to come, leading to her removal as queen and the search for a new queen, which ultimately led to Esther becoming queen. Mehuman's role in this narrative highlights the power and influence of the eunuchs in the Persian court, as they had direct access to the king and were entrusted with carrying out his commands. ========== PERSON(s) Melatiah@Neh.3.7=H4424 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.3.7;

He was one of the individuals who took responsibility for repairing a specific section of the wall, alongside Jadon the Meronothite and the men of Gibeon and Mizpah (Neh.3.7). The Gibeonites were descendants of the Hivites who had deceived Joshua into making a treaty with them, and as a result, they were assigned as servants to the Israelites (Joshua 9). Melatiah's participation in the rebuilding project demonstrates that the Gibeonites, despite their history, were still involved in the affairs of Israel and contributed to the restoration of Jerusalem in the post-exilic period. ========== PERSON(s) Melchi@Luk.3.24=G3197G Man living at the time of Exile and Return Jannai@Luk.3.24 + Levi@Luk.3.24 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Luk.3.24;

He blessed Abraham and received a tithe from him after Abraham's victory over Chedorlaomer and his allies. Melchizedek brought out bread and wine, demonstrating his priestly role. The Psalms refer to the Messiah as a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek (Psa.110.4), indicating that Melchizedek's priesthood was seen as a type or foreshadowing of Christ's eternal priesthood. The book of Hebrews expands on this concept, presenting Jesus as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek (Heb.5.6,10; 6.20; 7.1,10,11,15,17,21). Melchizedek's unique priesthood, which combined royalty and priestly service to God Most High, is seen as a precedent for Jesus' eternal priesthood and kingship. ========== PERSON(s) Melea@Luk.3.31=G3190 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Menna@Luk.3.31 + Eliakim@Luk.3.30 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Luk.3.31;

He suggested that Vashti's behavior could set a precedent for other women in the kingdom to disrespect their husbands. Memucan proposed that the king issue a decree deposing Vashti and selecting a new queen, to serve as an example to all women to honor their husbands (Est.1.16,21).

He stole 1,100 pieces of silver from his mother but later returned them. His mother then dedicated 200 pieces of silver to the Lord for Micah to make a carved image and a metal idol (Jdg.17.1-4). Micah set up these idols in his house, along with an ephod and household gods, and installed one of his sons as his priest (Jdg.17.5). Later, a Levite from Bethlehem came to Micah's house, and Micah hired him to be his personal priest (Jdg.17.8-13).

He also foretold the coming of the Messiah and the restoration of God's people (Mic.5.2). Micah's prophecy that Zion would be plowed like a field and Jerusalem would become ruins (Mic.3.12) was remembered over a century later during the time of Jeremiah (Jer.26.18). This reference to Micah's prophecy helped spare Jeremiah's life when he faced the threat of death for prophesying against Jerusalem.

Angered by this prophecy, Ahab ordered Micaiah to be imprisoned and fed only bread and water until his safe return (1Ki.22.26-27; 2Ch.18.25-26). However, Micaiah declared that if Ahab returned safely, then the Lord had not spoken through him (1Ki.22.28; 2Ch.18.27). Ahab disguised himself in battle but was killed by a random arrow, fulfilling Micaiah's prophecy (1Ki.22.29-40; 2Ch.18.28-34). Micaiah's unwavering commitment to speaking the truth, even in the face of opposition and personal risk, stands as an example of a faithful prophet of God. ========== PERSON(s) Micaiah@2Ch.17.7=H4322G Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ch.17.7;

When the Book of the Law was discovered during the repair of the temple, Josiah sent a delegation, which included Micaiah, to inquire of the Lord concerning the words of the book. The delegation went to the prophetess Huldah, who delivered a message of judgment for Judah's disobedience but also affirmed that Josiah's repentance had been heard by the Lord (2Ki.22.14-20; 2Ch.34.22-28). Micaiah's inclusion in this delegation suggests that he was a trusted Levite in Josiah's court.

When Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe, read the prophet's scroll in the temple, Micaiah was present and heard the words of warning and judgment against Judah (Jer.36.10-11). Micaiah then went to the royal palace and reported to the officials all that he had heard from the scroll (Jer.36.12-13). His report prompted the officials to send for Baruch and have him read the scroll to them (Jer.36.14). Micaiah's actions led to the officials' awareness of Jeremiah's prophetic message, although King Jehoiakim ultimately burned the scroll and sought to arrest Jeremiah and Baruch (Jer.36.20-26). Micaiah's role in this narrative highlights the importance of bearing witness to God's word and the potential impact of an individual's actions in bringing that word to the attention of those in authority. ========== PERSON(s) Micaiah@Neh.12.41=H4320H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A musician living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.12.41;

She first appears in the genealogy of Saul (1Sa.14.49) and is later mentioned as loving David (1Sa.18.20). Saul, seeking to ensnare David, offered Michal's hand in marriage, demanding a bride price of 100 Philistine foreskins. David fulfilled this requirement, and Michal became his wife (1Sa.18.27-28). When Saul attempted to kill David, Michal helped him escape through a window and deceived Saul's messengers by placing an idol in David's bed (1Sa.19.11-17). During David's exile, Saul gave Michal in marriage to Palti (1Sa.25.44). After Saul's death, David demanded that Michal be returned to him as a condition for peace with Abner (2Sa.3.13-14). Later, when David danced before the ark of the Lord, Michal despised him in her heart (2Sa.6.16; 1Ch.15.29). She confronted David, criticizing his behavior, but David rebuked her (2Sa.6.20-21). As a result, Michal remained childless until her death (2Sa.6.23). Michal's story illustrates the complex relationships and conflicts within Saul's family and the early years of David's rise to power. ========== PERSON(s) Michri@1Ch.9.8=H4381 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + Uzzi@1Ch.9.8 > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at 1Ch.9.8;

Zelophehad had no sons, only daughters, namely Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. These daughters approached Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, requesting the right to inherit their father's property in the absence of male heirs (Num.27.1-4). Moses brought their case before the Lord, who instructed him to grant the daughters the right to inherit their father's property (Num.27.5-7). This ruling set a precedent for inheritance rights in cases where there were no male heirs. Later, the heads of the fathers' houses of Manasseh raised a concern about the potential loss of tribal land if the daughters were to marry outside their tribe (Num.36.1-4). In response, the Lord commanded that the daughters of Zelophehad could marry whoever they wished, but only within their father's tribal clan, to ensure that the inherited land remained within the tribe (Num.36.5-12). Milcah and her sisters followed this instruction and married their father's brothers' sons (Num.36.11; Jos.17.3). The story of Milcah and her sisters highlights the importance of inheritance rights, the adaptability of the law to new situations, and the preservation of tribal allotments in ancient Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Miniamin@2Ch.31.15=H4509G Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ch.31.15;

In Num.12.1-15, she and Aaron criticized Moses for marrying a Cushite woman and challenged his authority as God's chosen leader. As a result, God punished Miriam with leprosy, but she was healed after Moses interceded on her behalf. This incident serves as a warning against questioning God's appointed leaders. ¶Miriam's death is recorded in Num.20.1, which takes place near the end of the Israelites' forty years of wandering in the wilderness. Her significance in Israel's history is further emphasized in Mic.6.4, where she is mentioned alongside Moses and Aaron as one of the leaders God sent to guide the people out of Egypt. ========== PERSON(s) Mirmah@1Ch.8.10=H4821 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shaharaim@1Ch.8.8 + Hodesh@1Ch.8.9 Jobab@1Ch.8.9, Zibia@1Ch.8.9, Mesha@1Ch.8.9, Malcam@1Ch.8.9, Jeuz@1Ch.8.10, Sachia@1Ch.8.10, Abitub@1Ch.8.11, Elpaal@1Ch.8.11- Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.8.10;

When faced with the king's decree to worship a golden statue, Mishael, Shadrach, and Abednego refused, even under the threat of being thrown into a fiery furnace (Daniel 3). Their faith and trust in God were rewarded when they miraculously survived the furnace unharmed, leading Nebuchadnezzar to acknowledge the power of their God. ¶Throughout the book of Daniel, Mishael and his friends serve as examples of unwavering faith and loyalty to God in the face of adversity and pressure to conform to the surrounding culture.

Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, had offered unauthorized fire before the Lord and were consequently consumed by fire from God. Mishael and Elzaphan carried the bodies outside the camp, as commanded by Moses, using their tunics to avoid direct contact with the deceased. ¶This event highlights Mishael's obedience and his role in maintaining the sanctity of the tabernacle.

Mithredath and his colleagues urged the king to search the historical records to verify that Jerusalem had a history of rebellion and that allowing the city to be rebuilt would be detrimental to the interests of the empire. ¶As a result of this letter, King Artaxerxes issued a decree ordering the Jews to stop their work on the city walls. This opposition from Mithredath and the other officials effectively halted the rebuilding efforts in Jerusalem for a time, until the reign of King Darius when the Jews were allowed to resume their work. ¶Mithredath's actions demonstrate the political challenges faced by the Jewish people as they sought to rebuild their homeland and restore their religious practices in the face of opposition from local officials and neighboring peoples. ========== PERSON(s) Mizzah@Gen.36.13-1Ch=H4199 Edomite living at the time of the Patriarchs Reuel@Gen.36.4-1Ch + Nahath@Gen.36.13-1Ch, Zerah@Gen.36.13-1Ch, Shammah@Gen.36.13-1Ch Edom #A man of the Edomites living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.36.13;

He was the son of Reuel, who was one of Esau's sons by his wife Basemath. ¶The genealogies in these passages list the descendants of Esau, who was also known as Edom, and provide insight into the family structure and leadership of the Edomite people. Mizzah is named among the chiefs of Edom, indicating that he held a position of authority and influence within the tribe. ¶As a grandson of Esau, Mizzah was part of the second generation of Edomites and likely played a role in the establishment and growth of the Edomite kingdom. The Edomites were closely related to the Israelites, as Esau was the twin brother of Israel (or 'Jacob') (Israel), but they often had a contentious relationship throughout their history. ¶Apart from being listed in these genealogies, no further details are provided about Mizzah's life, achievements, or specific role as a chief of Edom. However, his inclusion in these records highlights the importance of family lineage and tribal leadership in the ancient Near East. ========== PERSON(s) Mnason@Act.21.16=G3416 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Act.21.16;

He is described as an "early disciple," indicating that he had been a follower of Christ for a long time, possibly even from the early days of the church. ¶As Paul and his group traveled to Jerusalem, they were accompanied by some disciples from Caesarea who brought them to Mnason's house. This suggests that Mnason was well-known and respected within the Christian community and that his home was a safe and welcoming place for fellow believers. ¶Mnason's Cypriot background is significant, as Cyprus was one of the first places where the gospel was preached to non-Jewish people (Act.11.19-20). His presence in Jerusalem and his willingness to host Paul and his companions demonstrate the unity and hospitality that characterized the early church, despite the cultural and geographical diversity of its members. ¶Although no further details are provided about Mnason's life or ministry, his brief mention in Acts 21 highlights the importance of hospitality, fellowship, and support within the early Christian community. His actions exemplify the love and care that believers showed for one another as they worked to spread the gospel message throughout the world. ========== PERSON(s) Moab@Gen.19.37a=H4124H Moabite living at the time of the Patriarchs Lot@Gen.11.27-2Pe + daughter1_of_Lot@Gen.19.37 Ben-ammi@Gen.19.38 Moab #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, only mentioned at Gen.19.37;

This event occurred after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah when Lot and his two daughters were living in a cave in the mountains. ¶Lot's daughters, believing that they were the only survivors and that there were no men left to father their children, devised a plan to get their father drunk and sleep with him to preserve their family line. The eldest daughter gave birth to a son and named him Moab, which sounds like the Hebrew phrase "from the father," alluding to the child's incestuous origin. ¶Moab went on to become the ancestor of the Moabite people, who inhabited the region east of the Dead Sea. Throughout the Old Testament, the Moabites are mentioned as one of the neighboring nations of Israel, often in the context of conflict or tension between the two peoples. ¶The Moabites worshipped a god called Chemosh and were known for their religious practices, which sometimes included child sacrifice. Despite their close relationship to the Israelites through their common ancestor, Lot, the Moabites were often viewed as enemies or rivals of God's chosen people. ¶The story of Moab's birth serves as an example of the consequences of sin and the importance of trusting in God's plan, even in the face of difficult circumstances. It also highlights the complex relationships between the Israelites and the surrounding nations, which played a significant role in the history and development of God's people. ========== PERSON(s) Molid@1Ch.2.29=H4140 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Abishur@1Ch.2.28- + Abihail@1Ch.2.29 Ahban@1Ch.2.29 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.2.29;

He was the son of Abisur and his wife, Abihail. ¶The genealogy in this passage traces the descendants of Judah, one of the twelve sons of Israel (or 'Jacob') (Israel), and provides insight into the family lines within the tribe. Molid is listed as a member of the clan of Jerahmeel, which was one of the major families within Judah. ¶Apart from being named as the son of Abisur and Abihail, no additional information is provided about Molid's life, occupation, or role within the tribe. The genealogical record serves primarily to establish the lineage and family connections within Judah, rather than to provide detailed accounts of each individual. ¶The inclusion of Molid in this genealogy highlights the importance of family heritage and tribal identity in ancient Israelite society. It also demonstrates the meticulous record-keeping of the chronicler in preserving the names and relationships of even the lesser-known members of the tribe. ¶As with many of the individuals mentioned in these genealogies, Molid's contribution to the overall narrative of Israel's history may be limited, but his presence in the record helps to paint a more complete picture of the people and families that made up the nation. ========== PERSON(s) Mordecai@Est.2.5-=H4782H Esther's adversary living at the time of Exile and Return Jair@Est.2.5 + Tribe of Judah #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Est.2.5;

He was the son of Jair, from the tribe of Benjamin, and had been taken into exile from Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon (Est.2.5-6). ¶Mordecai is best known for his role as the cousin and guardian of Esther, who became queen of Persia. When Esther's parents died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter and raised her (Est.2.7). He later advised her to keep her Jewish identity secret when she was taken into the king's harem (Est.2.10). ¶Mordecai's loyalty to the king was demonstrated when he uncovered a plot by two of the king's eunuchs to assassinate Ahasuerus. He reported the conspiracy, and the eunuchs were hanged (Est.2.21-23). ¶However, Mordecai's refusal to bow down to Haman, a high-ranking official in the Persian court, led to a crisis for the Jewish people. Haman, enraged by Mordecai's defiance, plotted to destroy all the Jews in the empire (Est.3.5-6). Mordecai then urged Esther to intervene on behalf of her people, even at the risk of her own life (Est.4.13-14). ¶Through Esther's courage and Mordecai's guidance, Haman's plot was exposed, and the king issued a decree allowing the Jews to defend themselves. Haman was hanged on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai (Est.7.9-10). ¶After this victory, Mordecai was elevated to a high position in the Persian court, second only to the king (Est.10.3). He used his influence to promote the welfare of the Jewish people and institute the festival of Purim to commemorate their deliverance (Est.9.20-32). ¶Throughout the book of Esther, Mordecai is portrayed as a wise, courageous, and faithful leader who risked his own life to protect his people and remained committed to his Jewish identity in the face of adversity. ========== PERSON(s) Mordecai@Ezr.2.2-Neh=H4782G Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.2;

His mother hid him for three months, then placed him in a basket on the Nile where Pharaoh's daughter found and adopted him (Exo.2.3-10). As an adult, Moses killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew and fled to Midian (Exo.2.11-15). There he married Zipporah and worked as a shepherd for his father-in-law Jethro (Exo.2.16-22). ¶God appeared to Moses in a burning bush and called him to lead Israel out of Egypt (Exodus 3-4). Moses, along with his brother Aaron, went to Pharaoh demanding that he let Israel go (Exo.5.1). Through a series of ten plagues, God compelled Pharaoh to release the Israelites (Exodus 7-12). Moses led them out of Egypt, through the Red Sea, and to Mount Sinai (Exodus 13-19). There God gave Moses the law and instructions for the tabernacle (Exodus 20-31). ¶While Moses was on the mountain, Israel made and worshiped a golden calf (Exodus 32). Moses interceded for the people and God relented from destroying them (Exodus 32-34). Moses oversaw the construction of the tabernacle (Exodus 35-40). He led Israel for forty years in the wilderness, mediating between them and God (Numbers, Deuteronomy). God prohibited Moses from entering Canaan because of his disobedience at Meribah (Num.20.1-13). Before his death, Moses viewed the promised land from Mount Nebo (Deu.34.1-4). He died at 120 years old and was buried by God (Deu.34.5-8). ¶The New Testament refers to Moses as the giver of the law (Jhn.1.17), a type of Christ (Jhn.3.14), and the greatest prophet of the old covenant (Act.3.22-23). ========== PERSON(s) motherInLaw_of_Peter@Mat.8.14-Luk=G4074I Woman living at the time of the New Testament + a_wife_of_Peter@Mat.8.14-1Co > #A woman living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Mat.8.14;

In Mat.8.14, we learn that she was suffering from a fever when Jesus visited Peter's house in Capernaum. Jesus touched her hand, and the fever left her, demonstrating His power to heal and His compassion for those who were sick. The fact that Peter had a mother-in-law living with him suggests that he was married, although no further details are given about his wife or their relationship. This brief account of Jesus healing Peter's mother-in-law highlights the personal nature of Jesus' ministry and His care for the families of His disciples. ========== PERSON(s) Moza@1Ch.2.46=H4162G Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Caleb@1Ch.2.9- + Ephah@1Ch.2.46 Hur@Exo.17.10-2Ch, Jesher@1Ch.2.18, Shobab@1Ch.2.18, Ardon@1Ch.2.18, Mesha@1Ch.2.42, Haran@1Ch.2.46, Gazez@1Ch.2.46a, Sheber@1Ch.2.48, Tirhanah@1Ch.2.48, Regem@1Ch.2.47, Jotham@1Ch.2.47, Geshan@1Ch.2.47, Pelet@1Ch.2.47, Ephah@1Ch.2.47, Shaaph@1Ch.2.47, Shaaph@1Ch.2.49, Sheva@1Ch.2.49, Achsah@1Ch.2.49 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at 1Ch.2.46;

In Gen.46.21, Muppim is listed as one of the sons of Benjamin who went down to Egypt with Israel (or 'Jacob') and his family. This genealogy records the names of the descendants of Jacob who were the founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. ¶In Num.26.39, the name Shephupham appears in the context of a census taken of the Israelites in the wilderness. Here, Shephupham is mentioned as a clan within the tribe of Benjamin, suggesting that the descendants of Muppim had grown into a significant family group. ¶In 1Ch.8.5, the name Shephuphan is used in a genealogy of the Benjamites who lived in Jerusalem. This passage provides a more detailed record of the descendants of Benjamin, tracing the lineage of several prominent families within the tribe. ¶The variations in the name (Muppim, Shephupham, Shephuphan, and Shuphamite) likely reflect differences in pronunciation or spelling over time, or they may indicate different branches of the same family. Despite these variations, the references to this individual in the genealogies of Benjamin consistently affirm his place as a son of Benjamin and an ancestor of a significant clan within the tribe. ========== PERSON(s) Mushi@Exo.6.19-1Ch=H4187 Levite living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Merari@Gen.46.11-Ezr + Mahli@Exo.6.19-Ezr, Jaaziah@1Ch.24.26- Mahli@1Ch.6.47-, Eder@1Ch.23.23-, Jerimoth@1Ch.23.23- Tribe of Levi #A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Exo.6.19;

He was the son of Merari, one of the three sons of Levi, and the grandson of Levi himself (Exo.6.19; Num.3.20; 1Ch.6.19,47). Mushi's descendants formed a clan within the Levitical tribe known as the Mushites (Num.3.33; 26.58). ¶As a member of the Levitical tribe, Mushi and his descendants were responsible for assisting the priests in the tabernacle and later in the temple. In the wilderness, the Mushites were specifically assigned to carry the frames, crossbars, posts, and bases of the tabernacle whenever the Israelites moved camp (Num.3.36-37). ¶The descendants of Mushi are mentioned in several genealogies in 1 Chronicles, which trace the lineage of the Levites. These passages highlight the importance of the Levitical clans in maintaining the religious life of ancient Israel (1Ch.23.21-23; 24.26,30). ¶Mushi's role as the head of a Levitical clan emphasizes the hereditary nature of the Levitical priesthood and the importance of family lineage in determining one's responsibilities within the religious system of ancient Israel. The Mushites, along with the other Levitical clans, played a vital role in supporting the priests and ensuring the proper functioning of the tabernacle and temple worship. ========== PERSON(s) Naam@1Ch.4.15=H5277 Man living before Israel's Monarchy Caleb@Num.13.6-1Ch + Achsah@Jos.15.16-Jdg, Iru@1Ch.4.15, Elah@1Ch.4.15 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living before Israel's Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.4.15;

Caleb and Joshua were the only two spies who encouraged the Israelites to trust God and enter the Promised Land. ¶Apart from being listed as a son of Caleb, no additional information is provided about Naam's life, character, or role within the tribe of Judah.

The Ammonites were a neighboring people of the Israelites, often in conflict with them throughout their history. ¶Naamah's marriage to Solomon was likely a political alliance, as it was common for kings to marry foreign princesses to strengthen diplomatic ties and maintain peace with neighboring kingdoms. However, Solomon's many foreign wives, including Naamah, are cited as a reason for his eventual downfall, as they led him to worship other gods (1Ki.11.1-8). ¶As the mother of Rehoboam, Naamah played a significant role in the history of the Davidic dynasty. Rehoboam became king after Solomon's death, but his harsh treatment of the people led to the division of the kingdom into two separate realms: Israel in the north and Judah in the south (1 Kings 12). ¶The mention of Naamah's Ammonite heritage in both 1 Kings and 2 Chronicles suggests that her foreign origins were significant to the biblical authors. It serves as a reminder of the influence that foreign alliances and marriages had on the religious and political life of ancient Israel, sometimes leading to the erosion of the nation's faithfulness to God. ========== PERSON(s) Naamah@Gen.4.22=H5279G Woman living at the time before the Flood Lamech@Gen.4.18- + Zillah@Gen.4.19- Jabal@Gen.4.20, Jubal@Gen.4.21, Tubal-cain@Gen.4.22 Noah@Gen.5.29-2Pe(?)

He is described as a great man, highly regarded by his master, and a valiant soldier. However, Naaman was afflicted with leprosy (2Ki.5.1). ¶Through an Israelite servant girl, Naaman learned of the prophet Elisha in Samaria who could heal him of his leprosy. With his king's permission, Naaman traveled to Israel, carrying a letter from the king of Aram to the king of Israel. The king of Israel, mistakenly believing that the king of Aram was trying to provoke a quarrel, tore his clothes in distress (2Ki.5.2-7). ¶When Elisha heard of this, he sent a message to the king, telling him to send Naaman to him. Naaman arrived at Elisha's house with his horses and chariots, expecting a grand healing ceremony. Instead, Elisha sent a messenger, instructing Naaman to wash seven times in the Jordan River (2Ki.5.8-10). ¶Initially, Naaman was angry and refused, believing that the rivers of Damascus were better than the waters of Israel. However, his servants persuaded him to follow Elisha's instructions. Naaman dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, and his flesh was restored, becoming clean like that of a young boy (2Ki.5.11-14). ¶Grateful for his healing, Naaman returned to Elisha, declaring his belief in the God of Israel and offering a gift, which Elisha refused. Naaman then requested two mule-loads of earth to take back with him, so that he could worship the Lord on Israelite soil (2Ki.5.15-19). ¶Jesus later referred to Naaman's story in Luk.4.27, using it as an example of God's grace extending beyond Israel to the Gentiles. Naaman's healing demonstrates God's power, compassion, and willingness to heal and save those who turn to Him in faith, regardless of their nationality or background. ========== PERSON(s) Naaman@Gen.46.21-1Ch=H5283G Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Benjamin@Gen.35.18-Rev + Bela@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Becher@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Ashbel@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Gera@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Rosh@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Muppim@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Huppim@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Ard@Gen.46.21, Ahiram@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Jediael@1Ch.7.6- Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Gen.46.21;

He is described as a Calebite, indicating his descent from the tribe of Judah. Nabal was married to Abigail, a beautiful and intelligent woman (1Sa.25.3). ¶Despite his wealth, Nabal was known for his harsh and foolish behavior. When David and his men, who had been protecting Nabal's shepherds and flocks, requested provisions, Nabal rudely refused, insulting David and his men (1Sa.25.4-11). This foolish act provoked David to seek revenge, threatening to kill Nabal and all the males in his household. ¶Abigail, upon learning of her husband's foolishness, quickly intervened. She gathered a generous supply of food and went out to meet David, apologizing for Nabal's behavior and pleading for mercy (1Sa.25.18-31). Her wise actions and words appeased David, who relented from his plan to attack Nabal's household. ¶When Abigail informed Nabal of how close he had come to disaster, his heart failed him, and he became like a stone. About ten days later, the Lord struck Nabal, and he died (1Sa.25.36-38). After Nabal's death, David sent for Abigail and married her (1Sa.25.39-42). ¶Nabal's story serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of foolishness, selfishness, and mistreating others.

His story, recorded in 1 Kings 21 and 2 Kings 9, is a tragic account of injustice and the abuse of power. ¶King Ahab desired to acquire Naboth's vineyard to use as a vegetable garden, offering to purchase it or provide a better vineyard in exchange. However, Naboth refused, stating that he could not give up the inheritance of his ancestors (1Ki.21.1-3). This refusal greatly displeased Ahab, who sulked and refused to eat. ¶Ahab's wife, Queen Jezebel, learning of the situation, devised a wicked plan to secure the vineyard. She wrote letters in Ahab's name, ordering the elders and nobles of Jezreel to proclaim a fast and seat Naboth in a prominent place. Then, they were to have two scoundrels accuse Naboth of cursing God and the king, leading to his execution by stoning (1Ki.21.8-14). ¶The plan was carried out, and Naboth was unjustly killed. After his death, Ahab took possession of the vineyard (1Ki.21.15-16). However, the prophet Elijah confronted Ahab, pronouncing God's judgment on him and his household for their wickedness (1Ki.21.17-24). ¶Years later, as prophesied by Elijah, Ahab's son King Joram was killed by Jehu in the same plot of land that had belonged to Naboth (2Ki.9.21-26), fulfilling the divine retribution for the unjust murder of Naboth and the seizure of his ancestral property. ¶Naboth's story illustrates the importance of justice, the sanctity of ancestral inheritance, and the consequences of abusing power and disregarding God's laws. It also demonstrates the role of prophets in speaking truth to power and pronouncing judgment on those who commit evil. ========== PERSON(s) Nacon@2Sa.6.6-1Ch=H5225 Man living at the time of the Patriarchs + > #A man living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.6.6;

He succeeded his father as king and reigned over Israel for two years (1Ki.15.25). ¶Like his father, Nadab did evil in the sight of the Lord, following in the ways of Jeroboam and leading the people of Israel into sin (1Ki.15.26). This likely refers to the continuation of the idolatrous practices instituted by Jeroboam, such as the worship of golden calves at Bethel and Dan (1Ki.12.28-33). ¶During Nadab's reign, he went to war against the Philistines and besieged the town of Gibbethon (1Ki.15.27). While he was there, Baasha, a man from the tribe of Issachar, conspired against him and assassinated him (1Ki.15.27). Baasha then succeeded Nadab as king of Israel. ¶After Nadab's death, Baasha killed all the members of Jeroboam's household, fulfilling the prophecy spoken by Ahijah the Shilonite against Jeroboam's dynasty (1Ki.14.10-11; 15.29). This act was a judgment against the house of Jeroboam for the sins they had committed and the idolatry they had promoted in Israel. ¶Nadab's brief reign and his assassination demonstrate the instability and turmoil that characterized the northern kingdom of Israel, as well as the consequences of disobedience to God and the continuation of idolatrous practices. ========== PERSON(s) Nadab@Exo.6.23-1Ch=H5070G Priest living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Aaron@Exo.4.14-Heb + Elisheba@Exo.6.23 Abihu@Exo.6.23-1Ch, Eleazar@Exo.6.23-Ezr, Ithamar@Exo.6.23-Ezr Tribe of Levi #A priest from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Exo.6.23;

Along with his brothers Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, Nadab was consecrated as a priest to serve in the Tabernacle (Exo.28.1). ¶Nadab, along with his brother Abihu and seventy elders of Israel, accompanied Moses partway up Mount Sinai when the Lord made His covenant with the people (Exo.24.1,9). There, they saw a manifestation of God's presence and ate and drank in His presence. ¶However, Nadab and Abihu later committed a grave offense by offering unauthorized fire (incense) before the Lord, which He had not commanded them to do (Lev.10.1). As a result, fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord (Lev.10.2; Num.3.4; 26.61). ¶This tragic event served as a sobering reminder to the Israelites of the importance of following God's commands precisely, especially in matters related to worship and the priesthood. After their death, Eleazar and Ithamar took over their priestly duties under the direction of their father, Aaron (Num.3.4; 1Ch.24.2). ¶The story of Nadab and Abihu underscores the holiness of God and the seriousness with which He regards the proper worship and service of His people.

This genealogy is distinct from the one found in the Gospel of Matthew, which follows Jesus' lineage through His earthly father Joseph's side of the family. ¶The inclusion of Naggai in this genealogical record highlights the importance of family heritage and lineage in Jewish society.

This event marked a significant moment in Jewish history, as the exiles were allowed to return to their homeland and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem following the decree of King Cyrus of Persia. ¶The list in Nehemiah 7 records the names of the men who led the first group of returning exiles. Nahamani's inclusion in this list suggests that he held a position of some importance or responsibility among the returnees. However, beyond his name and his participation in the return from exile, no additional information is provided about Nahamani's background, family, or specific role in the community. ¶The return of Nahamani and the other exiles was a pivotal step in the restoration of Jewish religious and cultural identity in their homeland. The rebuilding of the temple and the city of Jerusalem was a crucial task that lay ahead of them, and the leadership and dedication of individuals like Nahamani were essential to the success of this endeavor. ¶Nahamani's presence in the list of returnees serves as a testament to the resilience and faith of the Jewish people, who had endured decades of captivity in Babylon and yet remained committed to their God and their ancestral homeland. ========== PERSON(s) Naharai@2Sa.23.37-1Ch=H5171 Warrior living at the time of United Monarchy + > #A warrior living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.23.37;

This position required great trust and loyalty, as the armor-bearer would have been in close proximity to the commander during combat. ¶The epithet "Beerothite" indicates that Naharai was from Beeroth, a town in the territory of Benjamin, north of Jerusalem. This suggests that Naharai may have been a member of the tribe of Benjamin who had joined David's forces. ¶Naharai's inclusion among David's mighty men highlights his exceptional skill as a warrior and his unwavering loyalty to the king.

In 1 Samuel 11, Nahash is described as besieging the city of Jabesh Gilead, located in the territory of Manasseh, east of the Jordan River. ¶Nahash demanded that the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead surrender and agree to have their right eyes gouged out as a sign of subjugation and humiliation. The people of Jabesh Gilead sought help from their fellow Israelites, sending messengers to King Saul, who had recently been crowned as the first king of Israel. ¶Upon hearing of the Ammonite threat, Saul rallied the Israelite forces and marched to Jabesh Gilead. In a decisive battle, Saul defeated Nahash and the Ammonite army, saving the city and its inhabitants from the cruel fate proposed by Nahash. ¶The victory over Nahash and the Ammonites was a significant moment in Saul's reign, as it demonstrated his leadership and military prowess. It also served to unite the Israelite tribes under Saul's rule, as they recognized the importance of having a strong central authority to protect them from external threats. ¶In 1Sa.12.12, the prophet Samuel reminds the Israelites of the threat posed by Nahash and the Ammonites, using it as an example of the dangers they faced and the need for a king to lead and defend them. This reference underscores the significance of the battle against Nahash in the early history of the Israelite monarchy. ========== PERSON(s) Nahash@2Sa.10.2-1Ch=H5176H King living at the time of United Monarchy + Hanun@2Sa.10.1-1Ch Ammon #A king of the Ammonites living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.10.2;

He was the father of Hanun, who succeeded him as king. ¶The biblical account reveals that Nahash had shown kindness to David at some point in the past, although the specific nature of this kindness is not elaborated upon. After Nahash's death, David sent envoys to express his condolences to Hanun and to offer his continued goodwill towards the Ammonite kingdom. ¶However, Hanun's advisors convinced him that David's envoys were actually spies, sent to gather intelligence in preparation for an invasion. Acting on this suspicion, Hanun humiliated David's envoys by shaving off half of their beards and cutting their garments short at the buttocks, a grave insult in ancient Near Eastern culture. ¶When David learned of this mistreatment, he was deeply offended. The incident escalated tensions between Israel and the Ammonites, ultimately leading to a war between the two nations. David's army, led by his commander Joab, defeated the Ammonites and their Syrian allies in a series of battles. ¶The account of Nahash and his son Hanun highlights the complex diplomatic relationships between Israel and its neighbors during the reign of King David. It also demonstrates the importance of showing respect and maintaining good relations with allies, as well as the consequences of misunderstandings. ========== PERSON(s) Nahash@2Sa.17.25=H5176I Woman living at the time of United Monarchy + Jesse@Rut.4.17-Rom David@Rut.4.17-Rev, Eliab@1Sa.16.6-2Ch, Abinadab@1Sa.16.8-1Ch, Shimeah@1Sa.16.9-1Ch, Nethanel@1Ch.2.14, Raddai@1Ch.2.14, Ozem@1Ch.2.15, Elihu@1Ch.27.18, Zeruiah@1Sa.26.6-1Ch, Abigail@2Sa.17.25-1Ch(?) > #A woman living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Sa.17.25;

This brief reference appears in the context of describing the lineage of Amasa, the commander of Absalom's army during his rebellion against David. ¶The passage states that Amasa was the son of Jether (or Ithra) the Ishmaelite and Abigail, the daughter of Nahash and sister of Zeruiah. This information suggests that Nahash was the grandfather of Amasa and the father-in-law of Jesse, David's father. ¶Apart from this genealogical note, no further details are provided about Nahash's life, character, or relationship with his daughters or King David. The mention of Nahash in this context serves primarily to establish the family connection between Amasa and David, highlighting the complex web of relationships within the royal family. ¶The fact that Abigail and Zeruiah are referred to as David's sisters indicates that Nahash may have been married to one of Jesse's wives, or that Nahash and Jesse had children through a levirate marriage (a custom in which a man would marry his deceased brother's widow to continue the family line). @Ambiguity=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WI5gOd0O-wfPf5rjuRPW5yhxNFoedx2fssmgOQGYj7o/edit?tab=t.0#bookmark=id.lr3v8npx7636 ========== PERSON(s) Nahash@2Sa.17.27=H5176J King living at the time of United Monarchy + Shobi@2Sa.17.27 Ammon #A man of the Ammonites living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Sa.17.27;

This event took place during Absalom's rebellion against David, when the king was forced to flee from Jerusalem. ¶As David and his entourage arrived in Mahanaim, a city east of the Jordan River, they were met by several individuals who brought supplies, including beds, basins, pottery, wheat, barley, flour, roasted grain, beans, lentils, honey, curds, sheep, and cheese. Among these supporters was Nahash, the king of the Ammonites. ¶The assistance provided by Nahash and the others was crucial for David and his followers, who were in need of provisions and support during this challenging time. The fact that Nahash, a foreign king, offered aid to David suggests that there may have been a positive diplomatic relationship between the Ammonites and Israel at this point in David's reign. ¶It is worth noting that there are other mentions of a king named Nahash of the Ammonites in the biblical text (1 Samuel 11; 2 Samuel 10), but it is unclear whether the Nahash mentioned in 2Sa.17.27 is the same individual or a different Ammonite king with the same name. The context of this passage focuses solely on Nahash's role in providing support to David during Absalom's rebellion. ========== PERSON(s) Nahath@2Ch.31.13=H5184H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ch.31.13;

He was appointed by the king to oversee the distribution of the offerings, tithes, and dedicated gifts brought to the Temple in Jerusalem. ¶During Hezekiah's reign, the king initiated a series of religious reforms aimed at restoring proper worship and adherence to the laws of Moses. As part of these reforms, Hezekiah ordered the collection and distribution of tithes and offerings to support the priests and Levites, ensuring that they could devote themselves to their religious duties. ¶Nahath, along with several other Levites, was entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing the storehouses where the offerings were kept and managing the distribution of these resources to the priests and their families. This task required integrity, organization, and fairness to ensure that all the priests and Levites received their rightful share. ¶The mention of Nahath in this context highlights the importance of the Levites' role in maintaining the Temple's functions and the significance of proper resource management within the religious community. It also demonstrates King Hezekiah's commitment to restoring and supporting the religious institutions of Judah. ========== PERSON(s) Nahath@Gen.36.13-1Ch=H5184G Edomite living at the time of the Patriarchs Reuel@Gen.36.4-1Ch + Zerah@Gen.36.13-1Ch, Shammah@Gen.36.13-1Ch, Mizzah@Gen.36.13-1Ch Edom #A man of the Edomites living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.36.13;

He was the son of Reuel, who was one of Esau's sons by his wife Basemath, the daughter of Ishmael. ¶The genealogical records in these passages provide insight into the family lines of Esau, who was the brother of Israel (or 'Jacob') and the ancestor of the Edomites. Esau settled in the region of Seir, south of the Dead Sea, and his descendants became the rulers and chiefs of Edom. ¶As a chief of Edom, Nahath would have held a position of authority and leadership within the Edomite tribal structure. The chiefs of Edom were likely responsible for governing their respective clans, making decisions on behalf of their people, and representing their interests in dealings with other tribes or nations. ¶Apart from being listed in these genealogies, no additional information is provided about Nahath's life, character, or specific actions. His inclusion in the record serves to highlight the development and growth of Esau's descendants into a significant nation, as well as to provide a historical context for the relationship between the Israelites and the Edomites. ========== PERSON(s) Nahbi@Num.13.14=H5147 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Vophsi@Num.13.14 + > #A man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Num.13.14;

This event took place during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt. ¶As the Israelites approached the Promised Land, Moses selected twelve men, one from each tribe, to conduct a reconnaissance mission in Canaan. Their task was to assess the land, its inhabitants, and its resources, and to report back to the people. ¶Nahbi was chosen as the spy representing the tribe of Naphtali. Along with the other eleven spies, he embarked on a forty-day mission, traversing the land from the Negev desert to the northern region of Rehob. ¶Upon their return, the spies reported that the land was indeed bountiful, flowing with milk and honey. However, ten of the spies, including Nahbi, also emphasized the challenges they would face, describing the inhabitants as powerful and the cities as fortified. Only Joshua and Caleb, the spies from the tribes of Ephraim and Judah, respectively, expressed faith in God's ability to help them conquer the land. ¶The negative report from the majority of the spies, including Nahbi, led to fear and rebellion among the Israelites. As a result, God declared that the generation who had witnessed the miracles in Egypt would not enter the Promised Land, with the exception of Joshua and Caleb. ¶Nahbi's role in this narrative serves as a reminder of the importance of faith and trust in God, even in the face of challenging circumstances. It also highlights the consequences of allowing fear and doubt to overcome one's belief in God's promises. ========== PERSON(s) Nahor@Gen.11.22-Luk=H5152G Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Serug@Gen.11.20-Luk + Terah@Gen.11.24-Luk Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.11.22;

He was the grandfather of Abraham, the patriarch of the Israelites. ¶According to the genealogical records in Genesis and 1 Chronicles, Nahor was born to Serug when Serug was 30 years old. Nahor himself became the father of Terah at the age of 29 and lived for a total of 148 years. ¶In Jos.24.2, it is mentioned that Terah and his family, including Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River and served other gods. This suggests that Nahor and his family were originally polytheistic and not worshippers of the one true God. ¶Nahor's significance in the biblical narrative lies primarily in his role as a direct ancestor of Abraham. His inclusion in the genealogies of Genesis, 1 Chronicles, and Luke demonstrates the importance of tracing the lineage of the patriarchs and establishing the continuity of God's plan through the generations. ========== PERSON(s) Nahor@Gen.11.26-=H5152H Abraham's brother living at the time of the Patriarchs Terah@Gen.11.24-Luk + Abraham@Gen.11.26-1Pe, Haran@Gen.11.26-, Sarah@Gen.11.29-1Pe Milcah@Gen.11.29-, Reumah@Gen.22.24 Uz@Gen.22.21, Buz@Gen.22.21, Kemuel@Gen.22.21, Chesed@Gen.22.22, Hazo@Gen.22.22, Pildash@Gen.22.22, Jidlaph@Gen.22.22, Bethuel@Gen.22.22-, Tebah@Gen.22.24, Gaham@Gen.22.24, Tahash@Gen.22.24, Maacah@Gen.22.24 Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.11.26;

He was born in Ur of the Chaldeans and later settled in the city of Nahor, which was likely named after him. ¶Nahor married Milcah, the daughter of his brother Haran, and together they had eight children, including Bethuel, who became the father of Rebekah (Gen.22.20-23). Rebekah would later marry Isaac, Abraham's son, thus continuing the lineage of the patriarchs. ¶When Abraham sent his servant to find a wife for Isaac, the servant traveled to the city of Nahor and met Rebekah at the well (Gen.24.10). Rebekah's family connection to Nahor and Abraham was confirmed when she identified herself as Bethuel's daughter and Nahor's granddaughter (Gen.24.15, 24, 47). ¶Later, when Israel (or 'Jacob'), Rebekah's son, fled from his brother Esau, he sought refuge with Laban, Rebekah's brother, in the city of Nahor (Gen.29.5). This shows that Nahor's descendants maintained close ties with Abraham's family. ¶In Gen.31.53, when Jacob and Laban made a covenant, they invoked the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor as witnesses, suggesting that Nahor and his descendants had come to acknowledge the God of Abraham. ¶Nahor's role in the biblical narrative is primarily as a link in the lineage of the patriarchs, connecting Abraham to the subsequent generations. His descendants, particularly Rebekah and her family, play a crucial role in the continuation of the covenant promises made to Abraham. ========== PERSON(s) Nahshon@Exo.6.23-Luk=H5177 Man living before Israel's Monarchy Amminadab@Exo.6.23-Luk + Elisheba@Exo.6.23 Salmon@Rut.4.20-Luk Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Exo.6.23;

He is mentioned in several books of the Bible, including Exodus, Numbers, Ruth, 1 Chronicles, Matthew, and Luke. ¶According to Exo.6.23, Nahshon was the brother-in-law of Aaron, as his sister Elisheba was married to Aaron. This connection to the priestly family highlights Nahshon's significant status within the tribe of Judah. ¶In Num.1.7 and Num.2.3, Nahshon is identified as the leader of the tribe of Judah during the census and the arrangement of the Israelite camp in the wilderness. As the head of Judah, he was responsible for a large portion of the Israelite population and held a position of authority and responsibility. ¶Nahshon's leadership role is further emphasized in Num.7.12,17, where he is the first of the tribal leaders to present offerings at the dedication of the tabernacle. His offering, like those of the other leaders, included silver and gold vessels, as well as animals for sacrifice. ¶In Num.10.14, Nahshon is mentioned again as the leader of the tribe of Judah when the Israelites set out from Mount Sinai, following the order of march determined by God. ¶The genealogies in Rut.4.20, 1 Chronicles Rut.2.10-11, Mat.1.4, and Luk.3.32 identify Nahshon as an ancestor of King David and, consequently, of Jesus Christ. This lineage underscores the importance of Nahshon's role in the history of Israel and God's plan of redemption. ¶Nahshon's life and leadership during the exodus and wilderness journey demonstrate his faithfulness and obedience to God. His prominent position within the tribe of Judah and his place in the lineage of David and Jesus make him a significant figure in the biblical narrative. ========== PERSON(s) Nahum@Luk.3.25=G3486 Man living at the time of Exile and Return Esli@Luk.3.25 + Amos@Luk.3.25 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Luk.3.25;

However, others have proposed locations including the modern Alqush in Assyria. ¶Nahum's prophecy provided comfort to Judah, as it announced the coming destruction of Nineveh, their oppressor. His message portrayed God as both an avenging warrior against Nineveh and a protector of those who trust in Him. The historical context of his prophecy appears to be during the period when Assyria was a threatening power over Judah. ========== PERSON(s) Naomi@Rut.1.2-=H5281 Woman living before Israel's Monarchy + Elimelech@Rut.1.2- Mahlon@Rut.1.2-, Chilion@Rut.1.2- > #A woman living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Rut.1.2;

She was the wife of Elimelech and the mother of Mahlon and Chilion. ¶During a time of famine, Naomi and her family moved to the land of Moab. While there, her sons married Moabite women, Ruth and Orpah. Tragically, Elimelech and both of Naomi's sons died, leaving her widowed and childless (Rut.1.1-5). ¶Hearing that the famine in Israel had ended, Naomi decided to return to Bethlehem. She encouraged her daughters-in-law to remain in Moab, but Ruth insisted on accompanying her (Rut.1.6-18). Upon their arrival in Bethlehem, Naomi expressed her bitterness, saying, "Call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me" (Rut.1.20). The name "Mara" means "bitter" in Hebrew. ¶Naomi played a crucial role in guiding Ruth and helping her find security and provision. She instructed Ruth to glean in the fields of Boaz, a relative of Elimelech (Rut.2.1-3). Later, Naomi encouraged Ruth to seek marriage with Boaz as a kinsman-redeemer, following Israelite custom (Rut.3.1-4). ¶Through Boaz and Ruth's marriage, Naomi's lineage was preserved. When their son Obed was born, the women of Bethlehem declared to Naomi, "Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a redeemer" (Rut.4.14). Obed became the grandfather of King David, making Naomi an ancestor of both David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ. ¶Naomi's story is one of loss, faithfulness, and redemption. Her journey from bitterness to joy, through the love and loyalty of Ruth and the providence of God, has made her an enduring example of faith and resilience. ========== PERSON(s) Naphish@Gen.25.15-1Ch=H5305 Arabian living at the time of the Patriarchs Ishmael@Gen.16.11-Psa + Nebaioth@Gen.25.13-Isa, Kedar@Gen.25.13-Ezk, Adbeel@Gen.25.13-1Ch, Mibsam@Gen.25.13-1Ch, Mishma@Gen.25.14-1Ch, Dumah@Gen.25.14-1Ch, Massa@Gen.25.14-1Ch, Hadad@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Tema@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Jetur@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Kedemah@Gen.25.15-1Ch, Mahalath@Gen.28.9- Arabia #A man of the Arabs living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.25.15;

As a descendant of Ishmael, Naphish would have been a member of the Ishmaelite tribes that settled in the Arabian Peninsula. ¶In 1Ch.5.19, Naphish is mentioned in the context of a war between the Israelite tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh against the Hagrites, Jetur, Naphish, and Nodab. These tribes were likely Ishmaelite clans living east of the Jordan River. ¶The Israelite tribes, trusting in God's help, went to war against these Hagrite tribes and were victorious. They captured a large number of livestock and took many people captive. The victory was attributed to God's intervention, as the Israelites had cried out to Him during the battle (1Ch.5.20). ¶Apart from these brief mentions, little else is known about Naphish or his specific role in the events described. His inclusion in the biblical record serves to highlight the ongoing interactions and conflicts between the Israelites and the surrounding tribes, as well as to demonstrate God's faithfulness to His people when they sought His help. ========== PERSON(s) Naphtali@Gen.30.8-Rev=H5321G Jacob's son living at the time of the Patriarchs Israel@Gen.25.26-Rev + Bilhah@Gen.29.29-1Ch Reuben@Gen.29.32-Rev, Simeon@Gen.29.33-Rev, Levi@Gen.29.34-Rev, Judah@Gen.29.35-Rev, Dan@Gen.30.6-1Ch, Gad@Gen.30.11-Rev, Asher@Gen.30.13-Rev, Issachar@Gen.30.18-Rev, Zebulun@Gen.30.20-Rev, Dinah@Gen.30.21-, Joseph@Gen.30.24-Rev, Benjamin@Gen.35.18-Rev Jahzeel@Gen.46.24-1Ch, Guni@Gen.46.24-1Ch, Jezer@Gen.46.24-1Ch, Shillem@Gen.46.24-1Ch Tribe of Naphtali #A man who founded the tribe of Naphtali living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.30.8;

His birth was celebrated by Rachel, who had been struggling with infertility. She named him Naphtali, saying, "With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister and have prevailed" (Gen.30.8). ¶As one of the twelve tribes of Israel, Naphtali played a significant role in the history of God's chosen people. During the Exodus, the tribe of Naphtali was led by Ahira son of Enan (Num.1.15) and was counted among the Israelite tribes in the wilderness (Num.1.42-43; 26.48-50). ¶In the arrangement of the Israelite camp, Naphtali was positioned on the north side, along with the tribes of Dan and Asher (Num.2.29). The tribe also had representatives among the twelve spies sent to explore Canaan (Num.13.14) and had a designated leader, Pedahel son of Ammihud, during the allocation of the Promised Land (Num.34.28). ¶The territory allotted to the tribe of Naphtali was in the northern part of Canaan, bordering Asher, Zebulun, and Issachar (Jos.19.32-39). The region was known for its fertile lands and abundant resources, as reflected in Jacob's blessing: "Naphtali is a doe let loose that bears beautiful fawns" (Gen.49.21) and Moses' blessing: "Naphtali is abounding with the favor of the Lord and is full of his blessing; he will inherit southward to the lake" (Deu.33.23). ¶Throughout Israel's history, the tribe of Naphtali played various roles. They participated in the battles against Sisera (Jdg.4.6, 10; 5.18) and the Midianites (Jdg.6.35; 7.23). The tribe also provided skilled warriors to support David (1Ch.12.34, 40) and was known for its wise and articulate people (Jdg.5.18; Psalm Jdg.68.27). ¶In the New Testament, Naphtali is mentioned in connection with Jesus' ministry in the region of Galilee (Mat.4.13, 15), fulfilling the prophecy of Isa.9.1. The tribe is also listed among the twelve tribes of Israel sealed by God in the book of Revelation (Rev.7.6). ========== PERSON(s) Naphtuhim@Gen.10.13-1Ch=H5320 People from Naphtuh(?)

He was a younger brother of Solomon, who would succeed David as king. ¶Although little is known about Nathan's life, his significance lies in his role as an ancestor of Jesus Christ. In the genealogy of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of Luke, Nathan is listed as a descendant of David and an ancestor of Joseph, the husband of Mary (Luk.3.31). ¶The prophet Zechariah also mentions a future mourning in Jerusalem, where the family of the house of David and the family of Nathan will mourn separately (Zec.12.12). This suggests that the descendants of Nathan played a significant role in the history of Israel and were recognized as a distinct lineage within the house of David. ¶As a son of David, Nathan would have been part of the royal family during a time when Israel was at its peak of power and influence.

He first appears in the biblical narrative when David expresses his desire to build a temple for the Lord (2Sa.7.2-3; 1Ch.17.1-2). Initially, Nathan encourages David to proceed, but later receives a message from God directing David not to build the temple, a task that would fall to his son Solomon (2Sa.7.4-17; 1Ch.17.3-15). ¶One of Nathan's most significant roles was confronting David about his sin with Bathsheba and the subsequent murder of her husband, Uriah. Nathan told David a parable about a rich man who took a poor man's beloved lamb, prompting David to condemn the rich man's actions (2Sa.12.1-6). Nathan then boldly declared, "You are the man!" (2Sa.12.7), revealing that the parable was an allegory for David's own sin. David repented, and Nathan conveyed God's forgiveness but also pronounced the consequences of David's actions (2Sa.12.13-15). ¶Nathan played a crucial role in ensuring Solomon's accession to the throne. When David's son Adonijah attempted to seize the throne, Nathan and Bathsheba worked together to inform David and secure his decision to appoint Solomon as his successor (1 Kings 1). ¶During Solomon's reign, Nathan's sons held important positions in the royal court. One son, Azariah, was put in charge of the district officers (1Ki.4.5), while another, Zabud, was a priest and the king's friend (1Ki.4.5). ¶Nathan's prophetic ministry and influence extended beyond his lifetime. His writings were included in the records of the acts of David (1Ch.29.29) and Solomon (2Ch.9.29). The Psalms also mention Nathan, specifically in the title of Psalm 51, which is associated with David's repentance following his confrontation with Nathan. ¶As a prophet, Nathan served as a messenger of God, offering guidance, correction, and support to the kings of Israel. His legacy as a fearless and faithful servant of God is remembered throughout the biblical narrative. ========== PERSON(s) Nathan@Ezr.10.39=H5416L Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.10.39;

Ezra took steps to address this issue and to restore proper worship and obedience to God's commands. ¶As part of this effort, Ezra assembled a group of leaders, including Nathan, to help instruct the people in the Law.

Can anything good come from there?" (Jhn.1.46). However, when Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he declared, "Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit" (Jhn.1.47). Surprised, Nathanael asked how Jesus knew him, to which Jesus replied that he had seen him under the fig tree before Philip called him (Jhn.1.48). ¶This revelation prompted Nathanael to confess, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the King of Israel" (Jhn.1.49). Jesus commended Nathanael's faith and promised that he would see even greater things, alluding to the miracles and divine revelations that would follow. ¶Nathanael is mentioned again in Jhn.21.2 as one of the disciples who went fishing with Peter after Jesus' resurrection. He was present when Jesus appeared to them on the shore of the Sea of Tiberias and performed the miraculous catch of fish. ¶Although little is known about Nathanael's life beyond these brief mentions, his inclusion among the twelve disciples highlights his importance in Jesus' ministry. His initial skepticism and subsequent confession of faith demonstrate the transformative power of encountering Jesus and the depth of his commitment to following him. ¶Tradition holds that Nathanael, under the name Bartholomew, went on to preach the gospel in various regions, including India and Armenia, where he is said to have been martyred for his faith. ========== PERSON(s) Nathan-melech@2Ki.23.11=H5419 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ki.23.11;

He was a court official who held a position of some importance, as evidenced by his living quarters being located near the entrance of the temple in Jerusalem. ¶The passage describes the religious reforms carried out by King Josiah, who sought to purge the land of idolatry and restore proper worship of the Lord. As part of these reforms, Josiah removed the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun and burned the chariots of the sun with fire. These horses and chariots were located "by the entrance to the Lord's temple in the precincts of Nathan-melech, the court official" (2Ki.23.11). ¶The mention of Nathan-melech's living quarters in connection with the idolatrous practices suggests that he may have had some involvement or oversight in the maintenance of these horses and chariots. However, the text does not provide any explicit details about his role or his personal response to Josiah's reforms. ¶The fact that Nathan-melech is specifically named and identified as a court official indicates that he held a position of some significance within the royal administration.

According to Gen.28.9 and Gen.36.3, Esau married Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael and the sister of Nebaioth, in addition to his other wives. This marriage alliance may have strengthened the ties between the Edomites (descendants of Esau) and the Ishmaelite tribes. ¶As a nomadic tribe, the descendants of Nebaioth likely inhabited the regions of northern Arabia and the Negev desert. They were part of the larger group of Ishmaelite tribes that played a significant role in the trade and commerce of the ancient Near East. ¶While little is known about Nebaioth as an individual, his legacy as the ancestor of a prominent tribe reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham that his descendants through Ishmael would also become great nations (Gen.17.20).

Although little is known about Nebat himself, his son Jeroboam played a significant role in the history of Israel and is frequently referred to as "Jeroboam son of Nebat" throughout the books of Kings and Chronicles. ¶Nebat was an Ephraimite from the town of Zeredah (1Ki.11.26). His son Jeroboam was a skilled and capable man who caught the attention of King Solomon and was appointed as an overseer of the forced labor from the house of Joseph (1Ki.11.28). ¶However, Jeroboam later rebelled against Solomon and fled to Egypt for protection (1Ki.11.26-40). After Solomon's death, Jeroboam returned and led the northern tribes in a revolt against Solomon's son, Rehoboam, resulting in the division of the kingdom (1Ki.12.1-20; 2Ch.10.1-19). ¶As king of the northern kingdom, Jeroboam established a new religious system, setting up golden calves in Bethel and Dan to prevent his people from going to Jerusalem to worship (1Ki.12.25-33). This act became known as the "sin of Jeroboam," and it had a lasting impact on the spiritual decline of the northern kingdom (1Ki.13.33-34; 14.16; 15.30, 34; 16.2, 19, 26). ¶Throughout the books of Kings and Chronicles, subsequent kings of Israel are often compared to Jeroboam son of Nebat, with many of them following in his sinful ways (1Ki.15.34; 16.26; 22.52; 2Ki.3.3; 10.29; 13.2, 11; 14.24; 15.9, 18, 24, 28). This recurring phrase serves as a reminder of the lasting consequences of Jeroboam's actions and the spiritual decline that characterized the northern kingdom. ¶Although Nebat himself is not the focus of the biblical narrative, his mention as the father of Jeroboam serves to provide context for Jeroboam's background and to emphasize the significance of his son's role in the history of Israel. Nebat's inclusion in the story also highlights the importance of family lineage and the impact that one's actions can have on future generations. ========== PERSON(s) Nebuchadnezzar@2Ki.24.1-Dan=H5019 Emperor living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Belshazzar@Dan.5.1- Mesopotamia #An emperor of Babylon living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.24.1;

He first invaded Judah during the reign of Jehoiakim, making the kingdom a vassal state (2Ki.24.1). When Judah later rebelled, Nebuchadnezzar besieged Jerusalem, deposed King Jehoiachin, and installed Zedekiah as a puppet king (2Ki.24.10-17). He also deported many Jews to Babylon, including the prophet Daniel (Dan.1.1-6). ¶When Zedekiah rebelled, Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem and the temple, deporting most of the remaining population (2Ki.25.1-21). He appointed Gedaliah as governor over the remnant (2Ki.25.22-24). The biblical books of Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel contain extensive material about Nebuchadnezzar's reign and conquests. Daniel records Nebuchadnezzar's dreams, his temporary insanity, and his ultimate acknowledgment of God's sovereignty (Daniel 2-4). ¶Nebuchadnezzar also besieged the Phoenician city of Tyre (Ezk.26.7-14) and invaded Egypt (Jer.46.13-26). He is portrayed as God's instrument of judgment against the nations while also being condemned for his pride and idolatry (Jer.25.9; 50.17-18).

He was one of the high-ranking officers in the army of King Nebuchadnezzar II during the siege and conquest of Jerusalem in 586 BC. ¶After the Babylonian army had breached the walls of Jerusalem and captured the city, Nebushazban was among the officials who entered the city. Along with Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, and other Babylonian officers, Nebushazban was involved in the decision-making process regarding the fate of the city and its inhabitants. ¶According to Jer.39.13, Nebushazban, along with the other officials, sent for the prophet Jeremiah and had him released from the court of the guard where he had been confined. This action was in accordance with the instructions given by King Nebuchadnezzar, who had ordered that Jeremiah be protected and treated well (Jer.39.11-12). ¶Apart from this brief mention, no further information is provided about Nebushazban's background, specific role, or personal characteristics.

He played a significant role in the events surrounding the fall of Jerusalem and the subsequent exile of the Judeans to Babylon in 586 BC. ¶According to 2Ki.25.8-12 and Jer.52.12-16, Nebuzaradan arrived in Jerusalem approximately one month after the city had been captured by the Babylonian army. He was responsible for overseeing the destruction of the city, including the burning of the temple, the royal palace, and all the houses of Jerusalem. Nebuzaradan also directed the demolition of the city walls, effectively ending Jerusalem's ability to defend itself. ¶Under Nebuzaradan's command, the majority of the population of Jerusalem was exiled to Babylon (2Ki.25.11; Jer.39.9; 52.15). He carried away the treasures and valuable items from the temple and the royal palace, as well as the skilled craftsmen and artisans (2Ki.25.13-17; Jer.52.17-23). Only the poorest of the land were left behind to work as vinedressers and farmers (2Ki.25.12; Jer.39.10; 52.16). ¶Nebuzaradan was also involved in the fate of several prominent figures in Jerusalem. He executed Seraiah the chief priest, Zephaniah the second priest, and other officials, as recorded in 2Ki.25.18-21 and Jer.52.24-27. However, he showed favor to the prophet Jeremiah, releasing him from confinement and offering him the choice to either go to Babylon or remain in Judah (Jer.39.11-14; 40.1-6). ¶In the years following the fall of Jerusalem, Nebuzaradan returned to Judah and carried out additional deportations to Babylon (Jer.52.30). He also played a role in the events surrounding Gedaliah, the appointed governor of Judah, and the assassination plot against him (Jer.41.10; 43.6). ¶As the captain of the guard, Nebuzaradan was a powerful and influential figure in the Babylonian military hierarchy. His actions in Jerusalem, including the destruction of the city, the exile of its inhabitants, and the treatment of key individuals, had a profound impact on the history of Judah and the Jewish people. His role in the biblical narrative serves to illustrate the severity of God's judgment against Judah and the fulfillment of prophetic warnings about the consequences of disobedience. ========== PERSON(s) Neco@2Ki.23.29-Jer=H5224G Pharaoh living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Egypt #A Pharaoh of Egypt living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.23.29;

He is mentioned in several passages in the Old Testament, primarily in relation to his interactions with the kingdom of Judah and his military campaigns against the Babylonians. ¶According to 2Ch.35.20-24 and 2Ki.23.29-30, Pharaoh Neco led his army to the Euphrates River to aid the Assyrians in their battle against the Babylonians. King Josiah of Judah, however, opposed Neco's advance and confronted him at Megiddo. Despite Neco's warning that he had no quarrel with Josiah, the Judean king persisted, and in the ensuing battle, Josiah was mortally wounded by the Egyptian archers. Josiah's death marked the end of his righteous reign and the beginning of a period of decline for Judah. ¶Following Josiah's death, Pharaoh Neco asserted his control over Judah. He deposed Josiah's son Jehoahaz, who had been made king by the people, and installed Jehoiakim, another of Josiah's sons, as a vassal king (2Ki.23.31-35; 2Ch.36.1-4). Neco imposed heavy tribute on Judah, which Jehoiakim exacted from the people of the land. ¶However, Pharaoh Neco's power was soon challenged by the rising Babylonian Empire. In the fourth year of Jehoiakim's reign, Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon defeated Neco's army at the Battle of Carchemish, as recorded in Jer.46.2. This decisive victory marked the end of Egyptian dominance in the region and paved the way for Babylonian control over Judah. ¶The prophet Jeremiah also mentions Pharaoh Neco in his prophecies against Egypt (Jer.46.17, 25). These passages foretell the defeat and humiliation of Egypt at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonians, highlighting the shifting power dynamics in the ancient Near East. ¶Pharaoh Neco's interactions with Judah and his military campaigns against Babylon had significant consequences for the region. His defeat of Josiah and installation of Jehoiakim as a vassal king brought Judah under Egyptian influence, while his subsequent defeat at Carchemish marked the beginning of Babylonian dominance. These events set the stage for the eventual fall of Jerusalem and the Babylonian exile, which had profound impacts on the history and religious development of the Jewish people. ========== PERSON(s) Nedabiah@1Ch.3.18=H5072 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shealtiel@1Ch.3.17-Mat(?) + Malchiram@1Ch.3.18, Pedaiah@1Ch.3.18-, Shenazzar@1Ch.3.18, Jekamiah@1Ch.3.18, Hoshama@1Ch.3.18 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.3.18;

Upon learning about the dire situation in Jerusalem, with its walls in ruins and its people in distress (Neh.1.1-3), Nehemiah sought the king's permission to return to Judah and rebuild the city (Neh.2.1-8). ¶As the governor of Judah, Nehemiah faced numerous challenges, including opposition from neighboring peoples (Neh.4.1-23; 6.1-14) and internal social and economic issues within the Jewish community (Neh.5.1-19). Despite these difficulties, Nehemiah successfully organized and led the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls in just 52 days (Neh.6.15). ¶In addition to his role in the physical restoration of Jerusalem, Nehemiah was also involved in the spiritual renewal of the Jewish people. He worked closely with Ezra the scribe in teaching the Law to the people (Neh.8.9) and participated in the renewal of the covenant (Neh.10.1). Nehemiah's governorship and reforms were pivotal in strengthening Jewish identity and faith during the post-exilic period. ¶The book of Nehemiah, which bears his name, provides a detailed account of his leadership, struggles, and accomplishments. His story is a testament to his faith, courage, and dedication to God's people and serves as an inspiring example of leadership and perseverance in the face of adversity. ========== PERSON(s) Nehemiah@Neh.3.16=H5166I Man living at the time of Exile and Return Azbuk@Neh.3.16 + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.3.16;

This event took place in the mid-5th century BC, following the return of the Jews from Babylonian exile. ¶According to the text, Nehemiah son of Azbuk was responsible for repairing a specific section of the wall, which was located near the tombs of David, the house of the warriors, and the Water Gate. This suggests that he was a person of some importance or influence within the Jewish community, as he was entrusted with a significant portion of the rebuilding project. ¶The fact that Nehemiah son of Azbuk's section of the wall was near the tombs of David also indicates that this area was of particular historical and religious significance to the Jewish people. By repairing this section, Nehemiah son of Azbuk was contributing to the restoration of both the physical and spiritual aspects of Jerusalem. ¶Apart from this single mention in Neh.3.16, no further information is provided about Nehemiah son of Azbuk's life, family, or role within the community. However, his inclusion in the list of those who participated in the rebuilding of the walls highlights the collective effort and unity of the Jewish people in their task of restoring Jerusalem and their commitment to their faith and heritage. ========== PERSON(s) Nehushta@2Ki.24.8=H5179 Woman living at the time of Divided Monarchy Elnathan@2Ki.24.8 + Jehoiakim@2Ki.23.34-Dan Jehoiachin@2Ki.24.6-Mat > #A woman living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ki.24.8;

She was the daughter of Elnathan, a prominent figure from Jerusalem. ¶Jehoiachin ascended to the throne of Judah at the age of eighteen, following the death of his father, King Jehoiakim. However, his reign was short-lived, lasting only three months before the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar II besieged Jerusalem and took Jehoiachin captive to Babylon (2Ki.24.10-12). ¶As the queen mother, Nehushta would have held a position of influence and respect within the royal court. In ancient Near Eastern societies, including Judah, the queen mother often played a significant role in political and religious affairs, sometimes even acting as a regent for her young son. ¶The mention of Nehushta's father, Elnathan of Jerusalem, suggests that she came from a prominent family and may have had connections to the upper echelons of Judean society. This background could have contributed to her son's ascension to the throne, despite his young age. ¶Nehushta's fate after her son's capture is not explicitly mentioned in the biblical text. However, it is likely that she, along with other members of the royal family and the Judean elite, was also taken into exile in Babylon (2Ki.24.15). ¶The inclusion of Nehushta's name and lineage in the account of Jehoiachin's reign highlights the importance of maternal ancestry in the royal line of Judah and provides insight into the political and social dynamics of the time. ========== PERSON(s) Nekoda@Ezr.2.48-Neh=H5353G Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.48;

This incident occurred during the time of Zerubbabel, who led the first group of exiles back to Jerusalem around 538 BC. ¶According to the text, the descendants of Nekoda, along with those of Delaiah and Tobiah, sought to be included among the priests but could not find their names in the genealogical records. As a result, they were considered unclean and excluded from the priesthood. ¶The importance of genealogical records in determining priestly lineage is evident from this account. The priests were required to prove their descent from Aaron, the first high priest, to be eligible for service in the temple. The inability of the Nekoda family to establish their priestly heritage suggests that their ancestors may have been among those who had intermarried with non-Israelites during the exile, thus compromising their lineage. ¶The exclusion of the Nekoda family from the priesthood highlights the significance of maintaining the purity and integrity of the priestly line. It also underscores the challenges faced by the returning exiles in reestablishing their religious and social order after years of captivity in a foreign land. ¶Apart from this incident, no further information is provided about the Nekoda family or their subsequent role in the post-exilic Jewish community. ========== PERSON(s) Nemuel@Num.26.9=H5241G Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Eliab@Num.16.1-Deu + Dathan@Num.16.1-Psa, Abiram@Num.16.1-Psa Tribe of Reuben #A man from the tribe of Reuben living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Num.26.9;

This reference occurs in the context of the census taken by Moses and Eleazar in the plains of Moab, near the end of the Israelites' forty years of wandering in the wilderness. ¶The census was conducted to determine the number of men aged twenty and above who were able to serve in the army (Num.26.2). The results of the census were also used to allocate the land of Canaan among the tribes of Israel. ¶In the listing of the clans and families of the tribe of Reuben, Nemuel is identified as one of the sons of Eliab, along with his brothers Dathan and Abiram. However, no further details are provided about Nemuel's life or role within the tribe. ¶It is worth noting that Nemuel's brothers, Dathan and Abiram, are infamously known for their rebellion against Moses and Aaron, as recorded in Numbers 16. They, along with Korah, challenged the leadership of Moses and Aaron and were ultimately punished by God for their insubordination. ¶The mention of Nemuel in the genealogical record of Reuben serves to provide a complete account of the families within the tribe and to highlight the importance of lineage in the organization and inheritance of the Israelite community. ========== PERSON(s) Nepheg@2Sa.5.15-1Ch=H5298H David's son living at the time of United Monarchy David@Rut.4.17-Rev + Jerusalem_wives@2Sa.5.13 Amnon@2Sa.3.2-1Ch, Chileab@2Sa.3.3-1Ch, Absalom@2Sa.3.3-Psa, Adonijah@2Sa.3.4-1Ch, Shephatiah@2Sa.3.4-1Ch, Ithream@2Sa.3.5-1Ch, Shammua@2Sa.5.14-1Ch, Shobab@2Sa.5.14-1Ch, Nathan@2Sa.5.14-Luk, Solomon@2Sa.5.14-Act, Ibhar@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Elishua@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Japhia@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Elishama@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Eliada@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Eliphelet@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Tamar@2Sa.13.1-1Ch, Elpelet@1Ch.3.6-, Nogah@1Ch.3.7-, Jerimoth@2Ch.11.18 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.5.15;

He was among the children born to David after he had conquered Jerusalem and established it as his capital city. ¶The mention of Nepheg in these passages occurs in the context of listing David's sons born in Jerusalem. These sons were born to David by his wives, whom he had taken after becoming king over all Israel. ¶As a son of David, Nepheg would have been part of the royal family and would have grown up in the palace in Jerusalem. However, beyond his inclusion in the list of David's sons, no further details are provided about Nepheg's life, character, or role in the kingdom. ¶The biblical record does not mention any significant events or accomplishments associated with Nepheg, and he does not appear to have played a prominent role in the history of Israel. This is in contrast to some of his brothers, such as Solomon, who succeeded David as king, and Absalom, who led a rebellion against his father. ¶Nepheg's inclusion in the genealogical record of David's sons serves to provide a complete account of the royal family and to highlight the fulfillment of God's promise to David that he would establish his throne forever (2Sa.7.12-16).

The Levites were set apart by God to serve in the tabernacle and, later, in the temple. ¶The reference to Nepheg occurs in the context of God's instructions to Moses regarding the organization and duties of the Levites. The Levites were divided into three main clans: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. Izhar, Nepheg's father, belonged to the clan of Kohath. ¶The Kohathites were responsible for the care and transportation of the most sacred items in the tabernacle, including the ark of the covenant, the table of showbread, the lampstand, and the altars (Num.3.27-32). As a member of this clan, Nepheg would have been part of a family entrusted with these important duties. ¶Apart from this genealogical mention, no further information is provided about Nepheg's life or specific role within the Levite community. His inclusion in the record serves to highlight the importance of family lineage in the organization and responsibilities of the Levites. ¶The Levites' dedication to the service of God and their role in maintaining the sacred objects and rituals of worship were essential to the spiritual life of the Israelite community.

They are first introduced in Gen.6.4, just before the account of the great flood. The passage states that the Nephilim were on the earth when the "sons of God" married the "daughters of men" and had children by them. It also mentions that the Nephilim were mighty men of old, men of renown. ¶The exact identity of the "sons of God" and the nature of the Nephilim have been the subject of much debate among scholars. Some interpret the "sons of God" as fallen angels who married human women, while others believe they were powerful human rulers or descendants of Seth who intermarried with the descendants of Cain. The Nephilim are often understood as giants or heroic figures who were the offspring of these unions. ¶The second mention of the Nephilim occurs in Num.13.33, where the Israelite spies report seeing them in Canaan during their reconnaissance mission.

As temple servants, they would have been responsible for various tasks, such as preparing materials for sacrifices, maintaining the temple grounds, and assisting the Levites in their duties. ¶The mention of the Nephushesim in both Ezra and Nehemiah's accounts of the returned exiles highlights the importance of all members of the Jewish community, including those who served in seemingly minor roles, in the restoration of religious life in post-exilic Judah.

He was a member of the tribe of Benjamin and a close relative of Saul, as evidenced by the fact that Saul and Abner are referred to as sons of Ner (1Sa.14.50-51). ¶Although little is known about Ner's life, his significance lies in his family's connection to the first king of Israel, Saul. As the father of Abner, Ner's lineage played a crucial role in the political and military leadership of Israel during Saul's reign. ¶Abner, as the commander of Saul's army, is mentioned several times in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of the conflict between Saul and David (1Sa.26.5, 14). After Saul's death, Abner supported Saul's son, Ish-bosheth, as king over Israel, while David was anointed as king over Judah (2Sa.2.8-9). ¶The tension between Abner and David's forces is evident in the accounts of their military encounters (2Sa.2.12-17). However, Abner eventually defected to David's side after a falling out with Ish-bosheth (2Sa.3.6-21). Tragically, Abner was later killed by Joab, David's commander, in an act of revenge for the death of Joab's brother (2Sa.3.22-30). ¶David mourned Abner's death and publicly declared his innocence in the matter (2Sa.3.31-39). The incident with Abner is also mentioned in the context of Solomon's reign, as David instructed Solomon to deal with Joab for his role in Abner's murder (1Ki.2.5-6, 32-34). ¶Ner is also briefly mentioned in genealogical records, such as in 1Ch.9.36, where he is listed among the ancestors of Saul, and in 1Ch.26.28, which notes that some of the dedicated treasures in the temple were from the days of Samuel, Saul, Abner, and Joab. ¶Although Ner himself is not the primary focus of the biblical narrative, his family's connection to Saul and the early monarchy of Israel makes him a significant figure in the historical context of the Old Testament. ========== PERSON(s) Nereus@Rom.16.15=G3517 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Rom.16.15;

Paul's greeting to Nereus is part of a larger list of personal greetings to various members of the Roman Christian community. ¶The fact that Nereus is mentioned by name suggests that he was a prominent or well-known member of the church in Rome. It is possible that Paul had met Nereus personally or had heard of his faith and dedication to Christ through others. ¶In the context of Romans 16, Paul is concluding his letter by extending personal greetings and commendations to various individuals and groups within the Roman church. These greetings serve to strengthen the bonds of fellowship and unity among the believers and to acknowledge the important roles played by different members of the community. ¶Apart from this single mention in Rom.16.15, no further information is provided about Nereus in the New Testament. Some early Christian traditions and apocryphal writings associate Nereus with the martyrdom of Domitilla, a Roman noblewoman, but these accounts are not considered historically reliable. ¶The inclusion of Nereus in Paul's greetings highlights the diversity and interconnectedness of the early Christian community in Rome. It also demonstrates Paul's personal concern for and appreciation of the individuals who made up the church, even though he had not yet visited Rome in person at the time of writing the epistle. ========== PERSON(s) Nergal-sar-ezer@Jer.39.3a=H5371H Babylonian official living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man from Babylon living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at Jer.39.3a;

After the death of his older brother Er, Judah instructed Onan to marry Er's widow, Tamar, and produce an heir for his brother (Gen.38.8). However, Onan, knowing that the child would not be his own, practiced coitus interruptus to avoid providing an heir for his brother (Gen.38.9). This act was displeasing to the Lord, and as a result, God put Onan to death (Gen.38.10). Onan's death left Tamar without an heir and set the stage for the unusual events that followed, which ultimately led to the birth of Perez and Zerah, twin sons of Judah and Tamar (Gen.38.27-30). Onan is also mentioned in the genealogies of Judah (Gen.46.12; Num.26.19; 1Ch.2.3). ========== PERSON(s) Onesimus@Col.4.9-Phm=G3682 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Col.4.9;

He ran away from his master and, in some way, came into contact with the apostle Paul while Paul was in prison (Phm.1.10). Through Paul's ministry, Onesimus became a Christian and proved to be a valuable companion and helper to Paul (Phm.1.11-13). Paul sent Onesimus back to Philemon with a personal letter, urging Philemon to receive Onesimus back, not as a slave, but as a beloved brother in Christ (Phm.1.16-17). Paul also offered to pay any debt that Onesimus might owe to Philemon (Phm.1.18-19). The letter to Philemon is a powerful example of Christian love, forgiveness, and the transforming power of the gospel in human relationships.

He is mentioned in Paul's second letter to Timothy as someone who often refreshed Paul and was not ashamed of his chains (2Ti.1.16). This suggests that Onesiphorus visited Paul during his imprisonment and provided him with comfort and support. Paul expresses his gratitude for Onesiphorus' kindness and asks the Lord to grant mercy to his household (2Ti.1.16). In the final chapter of the letter, Paul sends greetings to the household of Onesiphorus (2Ti.4.19), indicating that Onesiphorus and his family were well-known to the Christian community.

Joktan's descendants, including Ophir, are said to have settled in the region "from Mesha all the way to Sephar, the eastern hill country" (Gen.10.30). The exact location of this region is uncertain, but it is generally believed to be in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula. The name Ophir is also associated with a land famous for its wealth and gold (e.g., 1Ki.9.28; 10.11; 22.48; 1Ch.29.4; 2Ch.8.18; 9.10; Job.22.24; 28.16; Psalm Job.45.9; Isa.13.12), but it is unclear if this land was named after Joktan's son or another individual. ========== PERSON(s) Ophrah@1Ch.4.14=H6084I Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Meonothai@1Ch.4.14 + Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.4.14;

The Ephraimites brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon as a trophy of their victory (Jdg.7.25). The rock where Oreb was killed became known as the "rock of Oreb" (Jdg.7.25). The defeat of Oreb and Zeeb was a significant victory for Israel and a testament to God's power and deliverance (Psalm Jdg.83.11).

After David sinned by taking a census of Israel, God sent a plague that killed 70,000 people (2Sa.24.15; 1Ch.21.14). When the angel of the Lord was about to destroy Jerusalem, God commanded the angel to stop at Ornan's threshing floor (2Sa.24.16; 1Ch.21.15). David was instructed by the prophet Gad to build an altar to the Lord on Ornan's threshing floor (2Sa.24.18; 1Ch.21.18). Ornan offered to give David the threshing floor and the oxen for the sacrifice, but David insisted on paying the full price (2Sa.24.21-24; 1Ch.21.22-25). David purchased the threshing floor and the oxen for 50 shekels of silver (2Sa.24.24) or 600 shekels of gold (1Ch.21.25).

She was a Moabite woman who married into a Hebrew family that had settled in Moab due to a famine in Judah (Rut.1.1-2). After the deaths of Naomi's husband and sons, Naomi decided to return to Bethlehem (Rut.1.6-7). Initially, both Orpah and Ruth, Naomi's other daughter-in-law, insisted on accompanying her (Rut.1.10). However, Naomi urged them to return to their own families in Moab (Rut.1.11-13). Orpah eventually agreed to stay in Moab, but Ruth remained steadfast in her commitment to Naomi (Rut.1.14). Orpah's decision to stay in Moab is contrasted with Ruth's loyalty and devotion to Naomi and her God (Rut.1.16-17). While Orpah is not mentioned again in the Bible, her brief appearance in the story of Ruth highlights the significant choice that Ruth made in following Naomi and embracing the God of Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Osnappar@Ezr.4.10=H0620 King living at the time of Exile and Return + Assyria #A king of Assyria living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.4.10;

He is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, but many scholars identify him as Ashurbanipal, one of the last great kings of the Assyrian Empire. Ashurbanipal ruled from 668 to 627 BC and was known for his military campaigns and his extensive library in Nineveh. The resettlement of people in Samaria was a common practice of the Assyrian kings to prevent rebellions and maintain control over conquered territories. The people who were brought to Samaria came from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim (Ezr.4.9-10). These foreign settlers intermarried with the remaining Israelites in Samaria, creating a mixed population that became known as the Samaritans (2Ki.17.24-41). The Samaritans developed their own religious practices, which combined elements of Israelite and pagan traditions, and were often in conflict with the Jews who returned from the Babylonian exile (Ezr.4.1-5; Neh.4.1-3). ========== PERSON(s) Othni@1Ch.26.7=H6273 Levite living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shemaiah@1Ch.26.4- + Rephael@1Ch.26.7, Obed@1Ch.26.7, Elzabad@1Ch.26.7, Elihu@1Ch.26.7, Semachiah@1Ch.26.7 Tribe of Levi #A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.26.7;

Othniel's story begins when Caleb offers his daughter Achsah in marriage to whoever captures the city of Debir (also known as Kiriath-Sepher) (Jos.15.16; Jdg.1.12). Othniel successfully takes the city and marries Achsah (Jos.15.17; Jdg.1.13). Later, when the Israelites fall into sin and are oppressed by Cushan-Rishathaim, they cry out to the Lord for help (Jdg.3.8-9). God raises up Othniel as a deliverer, and the Spirit of the Lord comes upon him (Jdg.3.10). Othniel goes to war against Cushan-Rishathaim and prevails, bringing peace to the land for forty years until his death (Jdg.3.10-11).

The name "Pahath-moab" may indicate that they were descendants of Moabites who had been taken captive by the Babylonians or that they had some connection to the land of Moab. Some members of the Pahath-moab group were among those who had married foreign women during the exile, which was a violation of God's law (Ezr.10.30). This led to a crisis in the community, and the people were required to separate from their foreign wives to maintain the purity of the Israelite nation.

While Caleb and Joshua encouraged the people to trust in God and take possession of the land, the other ten spies, including Palti, brought back a discouraging report, emphasizing the strength of the inhabitants and the challenges they faced (Num.13.31-33). As a result, the people rebelled against Moses and refused to enter the land, leading to a forty-year period of wandering in the wilderness.

The family is mentioned in the lists of the returnees, which suggests that they were a significant group among the exiles who chose to return to their homeland. The return from exile marked a crucial moment in the history of the Jewish people, as it signaled the end of the Babylonian captivity and the beginning of the restoration of Jerusalem and the temple. Some members of the Parosh family were among those who had married foreign women during the exile, which was a violation of God's law (Ezr.10.25). This led to a crisis in the community, and the people were required to separate from their foreign wives to maintain the purity of the Israelite nation. The presence of the Parosh family in the lists of returnees and in the account of the marriage crisis highlights the challenges faced by the Jewish community as they sought to rebuild their lives and maintain their identity after the exile. ========== PERSON(s) Parosh@Ezr.8.3=H6551H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.8.3;

He was born in Tarsus as a Roman citizen and trained as a Pharisee under Gamaliel. Initially a persecutor of the church, Paul had a dramatic conversion experience on the road to Damascus, where the risen Jesus appeared to him. After this, he became a zealous preacher of the gospel, undertaking several missionary journeys throughout the Mediterranean world. Paul played a key role in spreading Christianity among the Gentiles and in articulating its theological foundations. He wrote many of the epistles in the New Testament, providing guidance and instruction to the early churches. Paul faced numerous challenges, including opposition from Jewish leaders, internal disputes among believers, and physical hardships. He was eventually arrested and taken to Rome, where tradition holds that he was martyred during the reign of Nero. Paul's life and teachings had a profound impact on the development of Christian thought and practice. ========== PERSON(s) Pedahel@Num.34.28=H6300 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Ammihud@Num.34.28 + > #A man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Num.34.28;

Perez became the ancestor of a prominent clan within the tribe of Judah (Num.26.20-21). He is mentioned in the genealogy of King David (Rut.4.12,18; 1Ch.2.4-5) and is an ancestor of several notable figures, including Hezron, Caleb, and Nahshon (1Ch.2.5,9,10). The descendants of Perez were among those who settled in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile (Neh.11.4,6).

They are first mentioned in Gen.13.7 as living in the land alongside the Canaanites during the time of Abraham. God promised to give the land of the Perizzites to Abraham's descendants (Gen.15.20). The Perizzites are often listed among the Canaanite nations that the Israelites were to dispossess and drive out (Exo.3.8,17; 23.23; 33.2; 34.11; Deu.7.1; 20.17; Jos.3.10; 9.1; 11.3; 12.8). During the conquest of Canaan, the Perizzites were among the groups defeated by the Israelites (Jos.24.11; Jdg.1.4-5). However, some Perizzites remained in the land, and the Israelites intermarried with them (Jdg.3.5-6). The Perizzites, along with other Canaanite groups, were subjected to forced labor during the reigns of Solomon and later kings (1Ki.9.20-21; 2Ch.8.7-8). Remnants of the Perizzites were still present in the land after the Babylonian exile (Ezr.9.1; Neh.9.8). ========== PERSON(s) Persis@Rom.16.12=G4069 Woman living at the time of the New Testament + > #A woman living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Rom.16.12;

The fact that Paul specifically mentions her and commends her for her work in the Lord indicates that she played a significant role in the church, possibly in serving or ministering to others.

The family is mentioned in the lists of returnees in both Ezr.2.55 and Neh.7.57. Solomon's servants were likely descendants of the Canaanites who had been subjected to forced labor during Solomon's reign (1Ki.9.20-21). The return of Peruda's family, along with other families of Solomon's servants, shows that they had maintained their identity and were part of the Jewish community even during the exile. The variations in the name (Peruda in Ezra and Perida in Nehemiah) may be due to differences in spelling or transcription. ========== PERSON(s) Peter@Mat.4.18-2Pe=G4074G Apostle living at the time of the New Testament John@Mat.16.17-Jhn + Andrew@Mat.4.18-Act a_wife_of_Peter@Mat.8.14-1Co > #An apostle living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Mat.4.18;

He was the son of Jonah (or John) and the brother of Andrew, who introduced him to Jesus (Jhn.1.40-42). Jesus gave him the name Cephas (Aramaic) or Peter (Greek), which means "rock" (Jhn.1.42, Mat.16.18). ¶Peter was a fisherman from Bethsaida in Galilee (Jhn.1.44) and was married (Mat.8.14; 1Co.9.5). He became one of Jesus' closest disciples, known for his bold faith and leadership. He was part of Jesus' inner circle, witnessing key events such as the Transfiguration (Mat.17.1-9) and Jesus' prayer in Gethsemane (Mrk.14.32-42). ¶Despite his devotion, Peter denied knowing Jesus three times during Jesus' trial (Luk.22.54-62). After Jesus' resurrection, Peter was restored and commissioned to lead the church (Jhn.21.15-19). On the day of Pentecost, Peter preached powerfully, and about 3,000 people were baptized (Act.2.14-41). ¶Peter was instrumental in spreading the gospel to both Jews and Gentiles. He performed miracles (Act.3.1-10; 9.32-43) and defended the inclusion of Gentiles in the church (Acts 10-11; Act.15.7-11). He wrote two epistles, 1 and 2 Peter, to encourage and instruct believers facing persecution. ¶Tradition holds that Peter was martyred in Rome during Nero's reign, crucified upside down at his request, as he felt unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus. ========== PERSON(s) Pethahiah@1Ch.24.16=H6611G Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.24.16;

Fearing the growing Hebrew population, Pharaoh enslaved the Israelites and subjected them to hard labor. He ordered the Hebrew midwives to kill any male infants born to the Israelites, but they disobeyed, claiming that Hebrew women gave birth too quickly. Pharaoh then commanded that all Hebrew male infants be thrown into the Nile River. ¶During this time, Moses was born and hidden by his mother for three months. When she could no longer hide him, she placed him in a basket among the reeds of the Nile. Pharaoh's daughter discovered the baby and decided to adopt him, unknowingly hiring Moses' mother as his nurse.

God then sent a series of ten plagues upon Egypt, each time giving Pharaoh the opportunity to release the Israelites. However, Pharaoh repeatedly hardened his heart and refused to let them go until the tenth and final plague, the death of the firstborn. ¶After the death of his own firstborn son, Pharaoh finally relented and allowed the Israelites to leave Egypt. However, he soon changed his mind and pursued them with his army. God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to cross on dry land, but when the Egyptian army attempted to follow, the sea closed in on them, drowning Pharaoh and his forces (Exo.14.28; Psalm Exo.136.15). ¶This Pharaoh is depicted as a stubborn and proud ruler who refused to acknowledge the power and authority of the God of Israel. His story serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and His ability to deliver His people from oppression (Rom.9.17).

Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers and eventually served in the household of Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's officials. After being falsely accused and imprisoned, Joseph interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker. When Pharaoh had troubling dreams, the cupbearer remembered Joseph's ability, and Joseph was brought before Pharaoh to interpret the dreams. ¶Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's dreams as a warning of seven years of plenty followed by seven years of severe famine. Impressed by Joseph's wisdom, Pharaoh appointed him as second-in-command over Egypt to prepare for the famine. During the famine, Joseph's brothers came to Egypt to buy grain, and after a series of tests, Joseph revealed his identity to them. Pharaoh invited Joseph's family to settle in the land of Goshen and provided for their needs. ¶This Pharaoh is depicted as a ruler who recognized and rewarded wisdom, and who showed kindness to Joseph and his family. The Bible does not provide the specific name or historical identity of this Pharaoh, as the term "Pharaoh" was used as a title for Egyptian kings. Some scholars suggest that this Pharaoh may have been from the Hyksos dynasty, a Semitic people who ruled Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period. ========== PERSON(s) Pharaoh@Jer.25.19=H6547N Pharaoh living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Egypt #A Pharaoh of Egypt living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Jer.25.19;

The prophecy was given by Jeremiah during the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah, warning of the impending Babylonian invasion and the destruction it would bring upon various nations, including Egypt. ¶The specific identity of this Pharaoh is not provided in the text. However, based on the historical context of Jeremiah's prophecy, it is likely that this Pharaoh was either Necho II (610-595 BC) or Psamtik II (595-589 BC) of the 26th Dynasty of Egypt. These Pharaohs reigned during the time of the Babylonian Empire's rise to power and its eventual conquest of Judah and other nations in the region. ========== PERSON(s) Phicol@Gen.21.22-=H6369 Man living at the time of the Patriarchs + > #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.21.22;

He is mentioned twice in the book of Genesis, both times in the context of treaties made between Abimelech and the patriarchs. ¶In Gen.21.22-32, Phicol accompanied Abimelech when they approached Abraham to make a treaty, acknowledging that God was with Abraham in all that he did. As part of the treaty, Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs as a witness that he had dug a well, which was named Beersheba. ¶Later, in Gen.26.26, Phicol again accompanied Abimelech, along with Ahuzzath, Abimelech's advisor, when they came to make a treaty with Isaac. This event took place after Isaac had reopened the wells dug by his father, Abraham, and had settled in Beersheba. ¶Phicol's presence in these narratives suggests that he was a trusted official in Abimelech's court and played a significant role in diplomatic relations with the patriarchs. ========== PERSON(s) Philemon@Phm.1.1-=G5371 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Phm.1.1;

The letter, which is included in the New Testament canon, deals with the situation of Onesimus, Philemon's slave who had run away and had subsequently become a Christian under Paul's ministry. ¶In the letter, Paul appeals to Philemon to receive Onesimus back, not as a slave, but as a beloved brother in Christ. Paul emphasizes the transformation that has taken place in Onesimus' life and urges Philemon to demonstrate forgiveness and reconciliation. ¶Although the specific outcome of Paul's request is not recorded in the Bible, the letter provides valuable insights into the early Christian church's approach to social issues, such as slavery, and the transformative power of the gospel in personal relationships. The letter also demonstrates Paul's pastoral concern for both Onesimus and Philemon and his desire to see the principles of Christian love and unity applied in their situation. ========== PERSON(s) Philetus@2Ti.2.17=G5372 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at 2Ti.2.17;

According to Paul, their message was spreading like gangrene, causing spiritual harm to those who listened to them. ¶The specific false teaching promoted by Philetus and Hymenaeus was that the resurrection had already taken place (2Ti.2.18). This belief contradicted the Christian doctrine of a future bodily resurrection and threatened to undermine the faith of some believers. ¶Paul's mention of Philetus and Hymenaeus serves as a warning to Timothy, and by extension, to all Christians, about the danger of false teachings and the importance of adhering to sound doctrine. The passage also emphasizes the need for church leaders to confront and correct those who spread false teachings, in order to protect the spiritual well-being of the church. ========== PERSON(s) Philip@Act.6.5-=G5376J Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.6.5;

After the martyrdom of Stephen, a great persecution arose against the church, and the believers were scattered. Philip went to Samaria and preached the gospel, performing miracles and casting out unclean spirits (Act.8.4-8). Many Samaritans believed and were baptized, including Simon the sorcerer (Act.8.9-13). ¶Philip was then directed by an angel to go south on the road from Jerusalem to Gaza, where he encountered an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians (Act.8.26-28). The eunuch was reading from the book of Isaiah, and Philip explained to him the good news about Jesus (Act.8.29-35). The eunuch believed and was baptized by Philip (Act.8.36-38). After this, Philip was miraculously transported by the Spirit to Azotus, and he continued preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea (Act.8.39-40). ¶Later, Philip is mentioned as one of the "seven" and referred to as "Philip the evangelist" (Act.21.8). He had four unmarried daughters who had the gift of prophecy (Act.21.9). Paul and his companions stayed with Philip in Caesarea during Paul's final journey to Jerusalem (Act.21.8-16). ========== PERSON(s) Philip@Luk.3.1=G5376I Tetrarch living at the time of the New Testament Herod@Mat.2.1-Act + Archelaus@Mat.2.22, Herod@Mat.14.1-Act, Philip@Mat.14.3-Luk > #Tetrarch Herod Philip II living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Luk.3.1;

Philip's reign coincided with the beginning of John the Baptist's ministry and the early years of Jesus' life. The specific dates of his rule are not provided in the Bible, but historical records indicate that he reigned from 4 BC to AD 34.

In the Gospel of John, he is introduced in the narrative of Jesus calling His first disciples. After being called by Jesus, Philip found Nathanael and told him about Jesus, describing Him as the one Moses and the prophets wrote about (Jhn.1.45). ¶Throughout the Gospel of John, Philip is portrayed as having a close relationship with Jesus. He was present at the feeding of the five thousand, where Jesus tested him by asking where they could buy bread to feed the multitude (Jhn.6.5-7). Philip was also approached by some Greeks who wanted to see Jesus, and he, along with Andrew, brought their request to Jesus (Jhn.12.21-22). ¶In Jhn.14.8-9, Philip asked Jesus to show them the Father, to which Jesus responded, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father." ¶After Jesus' ascension, Philip was among the apostles who gathered in Jerusalem to pray and await the coming of the Holy Spirit (Act.1.13). He played a significant role in the early Christian church and, according to tradition, preached the gospel in Phrygia and died a martyr's death in Hierapolis. ========== PERSON(s) Philip@Mat.14.3-Luk=G5376H Tetrarch living at the time of the New Testament Herod@Mat.2.1-Act + Archelaus@Mat.2.22, Herod@Mat.14.1-Act, Philip@Luk.3.1 Herodias@Mat.14.3-Luk Salome@Mat.14.6 > #Tetrarch Herod Philip I living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Mat.14.3;

This suggests that the Philistines were related to the Egyptians and other Hamitic peoples. The Table of Nations provides a general overview of the geographic distribution and ethnic relationships of the ancient world, but it does not give specific details about the Philistines' history or culture.

He is most remembered for his zealous act of killing an Israelite man and a Midianite woman who were engaging in sexual immorality and idolatry, thus turning away God's wrath from the people (Num.25.7-11). As a result, God granted Phinehas and his descendants a covenant of perpetual priesthood (Num.25.12-13; Psalm Num.106.30-31). ¶Phinehas also played important roles in other events. He was sent along with other leaders to confront the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh regarding an altar they had built, which was seen as a potential act of rebellion against God (Jos.22.13-32). He served as a priest during the time of the judges and was consulted before the Israelites went to battle against the tribe of Benjamin (Jdg.20.28). ¶Phinehas was succeeded by his son Abishua in the line of high priests (1Ch.6.4-5, 50). He was remembered as a faithful priest who had charge of the gatekeepers in the tabernacle (1Ch.9.20) and was part of Ezra's lineage (Ezr.7.5; 8.2). ========== PERSON(s) Phinehas@Ezr.8.33=H6372I Man living at the time of Exile and Return + Eleazar@Ezr.8.33 > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.8.33;

When Ezra and his companions arrived in Jerusalem, they delivered the gold, silver, and vessels that had been donated for the service of the temple to the priests and Levites. Phinehas, along with several other priests, was responsible for weighing and recording these items, ensuring that everything was accounted for and properly stored in the chambers of the temple. This event took place on the fourth day after their arrival in Jerusalem, demonstrating the importance of maintaining accurate records and the proper handling of the temple's resources. ========== PERSON(s) Phlegon@Rom.16.14=G5393 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Rom.16.14;

He is listed alongside Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and other unnamed brethren, suggesting that they were part of a house church or a close-knit group within the larger Christian community in Rome. The name Phlegon means "burning" or "zealous" in Greek, which may indicate his fervor for the faith. However, no further details about Phlegon's background, conversion, or role in the Roman church are provided in the Bible. Paul's greeting to Phlegon and the others demonstrates the unity and love that existed among the early Christians, even across geographical distances. ========== PERSON(s) Phoebe@Rom.16.1-=G5402 Woman living at the time of the New Testament + > #A woman living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Rom.16.1;

She was a deacon (or servant) of the church in Cenchreae, a port city near Corinth. Paul described her as a "sister" and a "patron" or "benefactor" of many, including Paul himself. This suggests that Phoebe was a woman of means who used her resources to support the ministry of the church and traveling missionaries like Paul. ¶It is likely that Phoebe was the one who delivered Paul's letter to the Romans, as Paul commended her to the believers in Rome and asked them to receive her in a manner worthy of the saints and to assist her in whatever she needed. This demonstrates the trust Paul had in Phoebe and her role in the early church. ¶As a deacon, Phoebe would have been responsible for various forms of service and ministry within the church, possibly including charitable work, hospitality, and spiritual guidance. Her example highlights the significant contributions of women in the early spread of Christianity and their active roles in the life of the church. ========== PERSON(s) Phygelus@2Ti.1.15=G5436 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at 2Ti.1.15;

This suggests that Phygelus was a believer who had been part of Paul's ministry in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) but had deserted him at some point. Paul does not provide any further details about Phygelus' background, the specific reason for his desertion, or his subsequent actions. The mention of Phygelus serves as a reminder that even those who have been close companions in ministry can fall away from the faith or abandon their fellow believers in times of difficulty. ========== PERSON(s) Pilate@Mat.27.2-1Ti=G4091 Ruler living at the time of the New Testament + > #A ruler in Rome living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Mat.27.2;

He is most known for his role in the trial and execution of Jesus, as recorded in all four Gospels (Matthew 27; Mark 15; Luke 23; John 18-19). ¶When Jesus was brought before Pilate by the Jewish leaders, who accused him of claiming to be the king of the Jews, Pilate questioned Jesus and found no fault in him (Jhn.18.29-38). However, faced with the insistence of the Jewish leaders and the growing crowd, Pilate ultimately gave in to their demands and ordered Jesus to be crucified (Mat.27.24; Mrk.15.15; Luk.23.24; Jhn.19.16). ¶Pilate is portrayed as a reluctant participant in Jesus' death, attempting to release him but ultimately succumbing to political pressure (Jhn.19.12). He is also depicted as a somewhat cynical and world-weary figure, as seen in his famous question to Jesus, "What is truth?" (Jhn.18.38). ¶Pilate's involvement in Jesus' crucifixion is also mentioned in the Book of Acts, where the early Christian leaders affirm that Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate (Act.3.13; 4.27; 13.28). In 1Ti.6.13, Paul refers to Jesus' good confession before Pontius Pilate. ========== PERSON(s) Pildash@Gen.22.22=H6394 Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Nahor@Gen.11.26- + Milcah@Gen.11.29- Uz@Gen.22.21, Buz@Gen.22.21, Kemuel@Gen.22.21, Chesed@Gen.22.22, Hazo@Gen.22.22, Jidlaph@Gen.22.22, Bethuel@Gen.22.22-, Tebah@Gen.22.24, Gaham@Gen.22.24, Tahash@Gen.22.24, Maacah@Gen.22.24 Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, only mentioned at Gen.22.22;

The execution of Haman's sons served as a powerful demonstration of the reversal of fortune and the triumph of the Jewish people over their enemies. ========== PERSON(s) Potiphar@Gen.37.36-=H6318 Egyptian living at the time of the Patriarchs + Egypt #A man of the Egyptians living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.37.36;

He is first mentioned in Gen.37.36, where he is identified as the man who purchased Joseph, the son of Israel (or 'Jacob'), from the Ishmaelite traders who had brought him to Egypt. Potiphar recognized Joseph's abilities and put him in charge of his household, entrusting him with all his possessions (Gen.39.1-6). However, Potiphar's wife attempted to seduce Joseph, and when he refused her advances, she falsely accused him of trying to assault her. Believing his wife's accusation, Potiphar had Joseph thrown into prison (Gen.39.7-20). Despite this unjust treatment, God was with Joseph and granted him favor, even in prison. The story of Joseph and Potiphar highlights the themes of integrity, faithfulness, and God's providence in the face of adversity. ========== PERSON(s) Potiphera@Gen.41.45-=H6319 Man living at the time of the Patriarchs + Asenath@Gen.41.45- > #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.41.45;

He is mentioned in Gen.41.45 and 50, where he is identified as the father of Asenath, the woman given to Joseph as a wife by Pharaoh. This event occurred after Joseph had interpreted Pharaoh's dreams and was elevated to a high position in the Egyptian court. The marriage to Asenath, the daughter of a prominent priest, was a sign of Joseph's newfound status and power in Egypt. In Gen.46.20, it is mentioned that Asenath bore Joseph two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, who would later become the ancestors of two of the twelve tribes of Israel. The fact that Joseph married the daughter of an Egyptian priest highlights the cultural and religious differences between the Israelites and the Egyptians, and it also foreshadows the future challenges the Israelites would face in maintaining their distinct identity in a foreign land. ========== PERSON(s) Priscilla@Act.18.2-2Ti=G4252 Woman living at the time of the New Testament + Aquila@Act.18.2-2Ti > #A woman living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.18.2;

She is consistently mentioned alongside her husband, Aquila, suggesting that they worked together as a team in ministry. Priscilla and Aquila were originally from Rome but had been forced to leave due to the emperor Claudius' edict expelling the Jews (Act.18.2). They settled in Corinth, where they met the apostle Paul and worked with him as tentmakers (Act.18.3). When Paul left Corinth, Priscilla and Aquila accompanied him to Ephesus (Act.18.18). In Ephesus, they encountered Apollos, a learned Jewish Christian, and instructed him more accurately in the way of God (Act.18.26). This event highlights Priscilla's knowledge of the Scriptures and her active role in teaching and discipleship. Priscilla and Aquila also hosted a church in their home, both in Ephesus (1Co.16.19) and later in Rome (Rom.16.3-5). Paul's warm greetings to the couple in his letters testify to their close friendship and partnership in the gospel ministry (Rom.16.3-4; 2Ti.4.19). Priscilla's example demonstrates the significant contributions of women in the early spread of Christianity and their active roles in the life of the church. ========== PERSON(s) Prochorus@Act.6.5=G4402 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Act.6.5;

The need for these seven men arose when the Greek-speaking Jewish Christians complained that their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution of food (Act.6.1). To address this issue, the apostles instructed the church to select seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, to oversee this task (Act.6.2-3). Prochorus was among those chosen, along with Stephen, Philip, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas. The apostles prayed and laid their hands on these seven men, appointing them to this ministry (Act.6.6). The selection of these deacons allowed the apostles to focus on prayer and the ministry of the word, while ensuring that the practical needs of the community were met. Beyond this initial mention, no further details are provided about Prochorus' specific activities or his later life and ministry. ========== PERSON(s) Puah@Exo.1.15=H6326 Woman living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness + > #A woman living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Exo.1.15;

They lived in Egypt during the time when the Israelites were enslaved and oppressed by the Egyptians. The Pharaoh, fearing the growing population of the Hebrews, ordered the midwives to kill any male children born to Hebrew women (Exo.1.15-16). However, Puah and Shiphrah feared God and did not follow Pharaoh's command. Instead, they allowed the male children to live (Exo.1.17). When questioned by Pharaoh about their disobedience, the midwives claimed that the Hebrew women gave birth quickly, before they could arrive (Exo.1.18-19). God blessed Puah and Shiphrah for their bravery and gave them families of their own (Exo.1.20-21). The defiance of Puah and Shiphrah is an example of faith and courage in the face of oppression, and their actions played a role in the preservation of the Hebrew people during a time of great adversity. ========== PERSON(s) Puah@Gen.46.13-1Ch=H6312G Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Issachar@Gen.30.18-Rev + Tola@Gen.46.13-1Ch, Jashub@Gen.46.13-1Ch, Shimron@Gen.46.13-1Ch Tribe of Issachar #A man from the tribe of Issachar living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Gen.46.13;

He was born during the time when Jacob and his family were living in Canaan, before their migration to Egypt. In Num.26.23, the descendants of Puah are mentioned as part of the census of the Israelites in the wilderness, where they are referred to as the Punites. This census was taken in preparation for the allocation of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. The inclusion of the Punites in this census indicates that Puah's descendants had grown into a significant clan within the tribe of Issachar. ========== PERSON(s) Puah@Jdg.10.1=H6312H Man living before Israel's Monarchy Dodo@Jdg.10.1 + Tola@Jdg.10.1 > #A man living before Israel's Monarchy, only mentioned at Jdg.10.1;

He is described as the "leading man of the island" (Act.28.7), which suggests that he held a position of authority, possibly as a Roman official or a local leader. When Paul and his companions were shipwrecked on Malta, Publius welcomed them and hosted them for three days, showing generous hospitality. During their stay, Paul learned that Publius' father was ill with fever and dysentery. Paul visited the father, prayed for him, and laid his hands on him, resulting in the father's healing (Act.28.8). This event likely had a significant impact on Publius and the local population, as it demonstrated the power of the God that Paul served. The hospitality and kindness shown by Publius to Paul and his companions is a notable example of the welcome and support that the early Christians sometimes received from non-believers during their travels. ========== PERSON(s) Pudens@2Ti.4.21=G4227 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at 2Ti.4.21;

Paul, who was imprisoned in Rome at the time, was writing to Timothy to encourage him and provide final instructions. In the closing section of the letter, Paul conveys greetings from several believers in Rome, including Pudens. The inclusion of Pudens in this list suggests that he was a member of the Christian community in Rome and likely had a personal connection with both Paul and Timothy. However, no further details are provided about Pudens' background, his role in the church, or his relationship with Paul and Timothy. The mention of Pudens, along with the others who sent greetings, highlights the close-knit nature of the early Christian community and the importance of personal relationships and support among believers, even across geographical distances. ========== PERSON(s) Purah@Jdg.7.10-=H6513 Man living before Israel's Monarchy + > #A man living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Jdg.7.10;

There, they heard a man telling his companion about a dream he had, which Gideon interpreted as a sign that God would give the Midianites into his hands. This event strengthened Gideon's faith and encouraged him to proceed with his plan to defeat the Midianites with a small army of 300 men. ========== PERSON(s) Put@Gen.10.6-1Ch=H6316G Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Ham@Gen.5.32-1Ch + Canaan@Gen.9.18-1Ch, Cush@Gen.10.6-1Ch, Egypt@Gen.10.6-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.6;

She brought a large entourage and expensive gifts, including gold, spices, and precious stones. The queen tested Solomon with difficult questions, and he answered them all, demonstrating his God-given wisdom. Impressed by his wisdom, wealth, and the organization of his court, the Queen of Sheba praised Solomon and his God, acknowledging that his wisdom and prosperity were divine blessings. She gave Solomon many gifts, and he reciprocated, giving her all she desired. Jesus later referenced the Queen of Sheba's visit, noting that she came from the ends of the earth to hear Solomon's wisdom, and yet someone greater than Solomon was present in Jesus himself (Mat.12.42; Luk.11.31). ========== PERSON(s) Quirinius@Luk.2.2=G2958 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Luk.2.2;

This census, ordered by Caesar Augustus, required everyone to return to their ancestral towns to be registered. As a result, Joseph and Mary traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born. The mention of Quirinius helps to provide a historical context for the birth of Christ. However, the exact date of this census and Quirinius' governorship have been the subject of much scholarly debate, as there are some apparent discrepancies between the biblical account and other historical records. ========== PERSON(s) Raamah@Gen.10.7-1Ch=H7484G Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Cush@Gen.10.6-1Ch + Seba@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Havilah@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Sabtah@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Sabteca@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Nimrod@Gen.10.8-Mic Sheba@Gen.10.7-Jol, Dedan@Gen.10.7-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man of the Cushites living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.7;

He was a son of Cush, who was a son of Ham, making Raamah a grandson of Ham and a great-grandson of Noah. The Table of Nations records the descendants of Noah's sons and their dispersal after the Tower of Babel. Raamah's sons, Sheba and Dedan, are also mentioned, suggesting that they became ancestors of tribes or nations. Some scholars associate Raamah with a region in southern Arabia, based on the connection with Sheba and Dedan, which are often linked to Arabian tribes.

The name "Rab-mag" is likely a title rather than a personal name, possibly meaning "chief of the magi" or "chief soothsayer." The presence of Rab-mag, along with other officials. His name was either Nergal-sharezer or he was accompanied by Nergal-sharezer together with Samgar-nebo, and Nebushazban, indicates that he was a high-ranking member of the Babylonian military or administrative hierarchy.

He was sent, along with Tartan and Rab-saris, to intimidate King Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem. Rabshakeh delivered a threatening message, urging them to surrender and not trust in Hezekiah or God to deliver them. He spoke in Hebrew, intending to frighten the people on the city wall. Hezekiah's representatives, Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah, asked Rabshakeh to speak in Aramaic, but he refused and continued to speak in Hebrew to undermine the people's morale. Rabshakeh mocked Hezekiah's faith in God and boasted of Assyria's power. When Hezekiah heard the report, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and went to the temple to pray. Isaiah the prophet reassured Hezekiah that God would protect Jerusalem. Rabshakeh returned to Sennacherib, who had left Lachish to fight against Libnah. Despite Rabshakeh's threats and Sennacherib's letter, Hezekiah trusted in God, and the Assyrian army was ultimately defeated by divine intervention. ========== PERSON(s) Rachel@Gen.29.6-Mat=H7354 Woman living at the time of the Patriarchs Laban@Gen.24.29- + Leah@Gen.29.16-Rut Israel@Gen.25.26-Rev Joseph@Gen.30.24-Rev, Benjamin@Gen.35.18-Rev Early Patriarch #A woman living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.29.6;

Rachel was initially unable to conceive, while Leah bore several children (Gen.29.31-35). In her distress, Rachel gave her maidservant Bilhah to Jacob, and Bilhah bore Dan and Naphtali (Gen.30.1-8). Eventually, God remembered Rachel, and she gave birth to Joseph (Gen.30.22-24). When Jacob left Laban, Rachel stole her father's household idols (Gen.31.19). She later hid them and deceived her father when he came searching for them (Gen.31.34-35). As Jacob's family journeyed to Ephrath (Bethlehem), Rachel went into labor and gave birth to Benjamin, but she died during childbirth (Gen.35.16-20). Jacob buried her on the way to Ephrath and set up a pillar on her grave (Gen.35.20). Rachel's sons, Joseph and Benjamin, became two of the twelve tribes of Israel (Gen.46.19-22). Her tomb became a landmark (1Sa.10.2) and is mentioned in Jer.31.15, where her weeping is used as a symbol for Israel's mourning during the Babylonian exile.

The name "Rapha" is used to describe these giants as descendants of the Rephaim, a people known for their great stature and strength (Deu.2.11, 20-21). In 2Sa.21.16, Ishbi-benob, one of the descendants of Rapha, wielded a bronze spear and threatened to kill David, but Abishai came to David's aid and killed the giant. Another descendant of Rapha, Saph (also called Sippai in 1Ch.20.4), was killed by Sibbecai the Hushathite (2Sa.21.18). In 2Sa.21.20 and 1Ch.20.6, another descendant of Rapha is described as a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. This giant was killed by Jonathan, the son of Shimea, David's brother (2Sa.21.21; 1Ch.20.7). These battles against the descendants of Rapha are summarized in 2Sa.21.22 and 1Ch.20.8, emphasizing that they were defeated by David and his servants. The mention of Rapha and his descendants highlights the ongoing conflict between the Israelites and the Philistines, as well as the bravery and skill of David and his warriors in facing and defeating these formidable enemies. The victory over the giants also demonstrates God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promise to give the Israelites victory over their enemies and to establish David's kingdom. ========== PERSON(s) Raphah@1Ch.8.37-=H7498G Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Binea@1Ch.8.37- + Eleasah@1Ch.8.37-, Azel@1Ch.8.37- Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.8.37;

The spies were sent to assess the land, its people, and its resources. After forty days, they returned with their report, but only Joshua and Caleb gave a positive assessment. The other ten spies, including Palti, discouraged the people by emphasizing the challenges they would face.

As a result, God commanded Moses to carry out a war of vengeance against the Midianites. The Israelite army, led by Phinehas, defeated the Midianites and killed their five kings, including Reba. The victory over the Midianites was seen as a judgment against their wickedness and a protection of Israel's spiritual and moral purity.

She was barren for many years, but Isaac prayed for her, and she conceived twins (Gen.25.21). During her pregnancy, the Lord revealed to Rebekah that two nations were in her womb and that the older would serve the younger (Gen.25.23). Rebekah gave birth to Esau and Israel (or 'Jacob') (Gen.25.24-26). She favored Jacob over Esau and helped him deceive Isaac into giving him the firstborn's blessing (Genesis 27). This led to a conflict between the brothers, and Jacob had to flee to escape Esau's anger (Gen.27.41-45). Rebekah's deception had consequences for the family, but God's plan for Jacob prevailed. Rebekah's nurse, Deborah, died and was buried near Bethel (Gen.35.8). Rebekah died and was buried in the cave of Machpelah, where Abraham and Sarah were also buried (Gen.49.31).

Jehonadab, son of Rechab, supported Jehu in his purge of Baal worship in Israel (2Ki.10.15-23). The Rechabites were known for their obedience to the commands of their ancestor Jonadab, which included abstaining from wine, not building houses, not sowing seed, and not planting vineyards (Jer.35.6-7). When the prophet Jeremiah tested their obedience by offering them wine, they refused, demonstrating their commitment to their ancestral vows (Jer.35.1-11). God commended the Rechabites for their faithfulness and promised that they would always have a descendant to serve Him (Jer.35.18-19). The example of the Rechabites stands as a model of obedience and devotion to God in the midst of a society that had largely abandoned His ways. ========== PERSON(s) Rechab@2Sa.4.2-=H7394G Man living at the time of United Monarchy Rimmon@2Sa.4.2- + Baanah@2Sa.4.2- Tribe of Benjamin #A man living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.4.2;

Baanah and Rechab, who were from the tribe of Benjamin, betrayed Ishbosheth by sneaking into his house while he was resting and murdering him (2Sa.4.5-7). They brought Ishbosheth's head to David, hoping to gain favor with him (2Sa.4.8). However, David condemned their treacherous act and ordered their execution (2Sa.4.9-12).

Nehemiah, who was serving as cupbearer to King Artaxerxes of Persia, received permission to return to Jerusalem and oversee the rebuilding of the walls (Neh.2.1-8). Various individuals and families were assigned to repair specific sections of the wall. Malchijah, son of Rechab, was responsible for repairing the Dung Gate, which was likely located on the southern side of the city and used for removing refuse (Neh.3.14).

The context suggests that this event took place after the return of the Jews from Babylonian exile and during the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. The people of Bethel sent Regem-melech and his companions to the house of God (the temple) to pray and to ask the priests and prophets a question regarding fasting and mourning (Zec.7.3). The people wanted to know if they should continue to observe the fasts they had established during the exile, now that the temple was being rebuilt. In response, the Lord spoke through Zechariah, emphasizing that true obedience and justice were more important than formal fasting (Zec.7.4-14). The mention of Regem-melech highlights the people's desire for guidance and their willingness to seek the Lord's direction through the priests and prophets. ========== PERSON(s) Rehabiah@1Ch.23.17-=H7345 Levite living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Eliezer@Exo.18.4-1Ch + Isshiah@1Ch.24.21- Tribe of Levi #A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at 1Ch.23.17;

David captured a large amount of gold, silver, and bronze from Hadadezer's cities, which he dedicated to the Lord (2Sa.8.11-12). The defeat of Hadadezer and the Arameans of Zobah was a significant victory for David, establishing his dominance in the region and expanding the boundaries of his kingdom.

He became king of Judah after Solomon's death (1Ki.11.43). When Rehoboam went to Shechem to be crowned, the people, led by Jeroboam, asked him to lighten the heavy yoke that Solomon had placed on them (1Ki.12.1-4). Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father, but he rejected their advice to be a servant to the people (1Ki.12.6-8). Instead, he followed the counsel of the young men who had grown up with him and threatened to make the people's yoke even heavier (1Ki.12.9-14). As a result, the ten northern tribes rebelled against Rehoboam and made Jeroboam their king, leaving only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin loyal to Rehoboam (1Ki.12.16-20). Rehoboam intended to fight against the northern tribes, but God sent a prophet to stop him (1Ki.12.21-24). During Rehoboam's reign, King Shishak of Egypt attacked Jerusalem and took away the treasures of the temple and the royal palace (1Ki.14.25-28; 2Ch.12.1-12). Rehoboam did evil in the eyes of the Lord and allowed idol worship to spread in Judah (1Ki.14.22-24). He reigned for 17 years and was succeeded by his son Abijah (1Ki.14.21, 31; 2Ch.12.16). Rehoboam's story is a cautionary tale about the consequences of foolish decisions and disobedience to God. ========== PERSON(s) Rehum@Ezr.2.2-Neh=H7348A Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.2;

Following the decree of King Cyrus of Persia, which allowed the Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the temple (Ezr.1.1-4), a group of exiles led by Zerubbabel made the journey back to Jerusalem. Rehum (Harim or Nehum) is listed among the leaders of this group, along with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, and others. The returning exiles faced the challenge of rebuilding the temple and reestablishing Jewish worship in Jerusalem. In the book of Nehemiah, Rehum (Harim) is also mentioned as one of the priests who sealed the covenant to follow God's law (Neh.10.5).

When the enemies of the Jews learned that they had begun rebuilding the temple and the city walls of Jerusalem, they wrote a letter to King Artaxerxes to persuade him to stop the work (Ezr.4.7-16). Rehum was one of the officials who signed this letter, along with Shimshai the scribe and others (Ezr.4.9). In the letter, they accused the Jews of rebuilding a rebellious and wicked city that had a history of causing trouble for kings (Ezr.4.12-16). As a result, Artaxerxes ordered the work to be stopped until further notice (Ezr.4.17-22). Rehum and his associates then went to Jerusalem and forcibly made the Jews stop building (Ezr.4.23). This opposition delayed the completion of the temple and the city walls until the reign of King Darius (Ezr.4.24). Rehum's actions demonstrate the political challenges faced by the Jews as they sought to rebuild Jerusalem after returning from Babylonian exile. ========== PERSON(s) Rehum@Neh.10.25=H7348H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.10.25;

Rei, along with Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, and others, remained loyal to Solomon (1Ki.1.8). They did not attend the feast where Adonijah declared himself king (1Ki.1.9-10). When David was informed of Adonijah's actions, he ordered Solomon to be anointed as king, with the support of those who had remained loyal (1Ki.1.32-40).

The Midianites were a nomadic people who lived in the desert regions south and east of Canaan. They had engaged in hostilities against Israel and had led the Israelites into idolatry and immorality (Numbers 25). As a result, God commanded Moses to carry out a war of vengeance against the Midianites. The Israelite army, led by Phinehas, defeated the Midianites and killed their five kings, including Rekem (Num.31.1-12). The victory over the Midianites was seen as a judgment against their wickedness and a protection of Israel's spiritual and moral purity. The death of Rekem and the other Midianite kings marked the end of a significant threat to Israel's existence and integrity. The land that had belonged to these kings was later allocated to the tribes of Reuben and Gad as part of their inheritance in the Promised Land (Jos.13.21). ========== PERSON(s) Remaliah@2Ki.15.25-Isa=H7425 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Pekah@2Ki.15.25-Isa Israel #A man of the Kingdom of Israel, living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.15.25;

Pekah, son of Remaliah, was a captain in the army of King Pekahiah of Israel. He conspired against Pekahiah, killed him, and seized the throne (2Ki.15.25). Pekah reigned as king of Israel for 20 years (2Ki.15.27). During his reign, Pekah formed an alliance with King Rezin of Aram (Syria) and attacked Judah (2Ki.15.37; 16.5; Isa.7.1). However, their attack was unsuccessful, and the prophet Isaiah foretold the downfall of both Pekah and Rezin (Isa.7.4-9; 8.6). Pekah was eventually assassinated by Hoshea, who became the next king of Israel (2Ki.15.30). The frequent mention of Pekah as "son of Remaliah" in the biblical text suggests that Remaliah was not a prominent figure himself, but rather was known primarily as the father of King Pekah. ========== PERSON(s) Rephael@1Ch.26.7=H7501 Levite living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shemaiah@1Ch.26.4- + Othni@1Ch.26.7, Obed@1Ch.26.7, Elzabad@1Ch.26.7, Elihu@1Ch.26.7, Semachiah@1Ch.26.7 Tribe of Levi #A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.26.7;

The Rephaim were one of the groups that inhabited the land promised to Abraham's descendants (Gen.15.20).

The Rephaim were gradually dispossessed of their land by the Israelites during the conquest of Canaan. The Ammonites drove them out of the territory east of the Jordan River (Deu.2.20-21), while the Israelites, under Joshua's leadership, defeated Og, the king of Bashan, who was described as the last of the Rephaim (Jos.12.4; 13.12).

As the firstborn, he held a position of prominence and was entitled to a double portion of the inheritance (Gen.49.3; Deu.21.17). However, Reuben lost his birthright due to his sin of sleeping with his father's concubine, Bilhah (Gen.35.22; 49.3-4; 1Ch.5.1). Despite this, Reuben showed concern for his younger brother Joseph and tried to save him from their brothers' plot to kill him (Gen.37.21-22, 29). Later, he offered to bear the blame if harm came to Benjamin on their journey to Egypt (Gen.42.37). When Jacob blessed his sons, he described Reuben as "unstable as water" and declared that he would not excel because of his past actions (Gen.49.3-4). The tribe of Reuben, along with the tribes of Gad and half of Manasseh, settled in the land east of the Jordan River (Numbers 32; Jos.13.15-23). They assisted the other tribes in conquering Canaan before returning to their inheritance (Joshua 22). In the time of the judges, the tribe of Reuben was criticized for not assisting Deborah and Barak in the fight against Sisera (Jdg.5.15-16).

The genealogy in 1 Chronicles 9 lists some of the prominent families and individuals who lived in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. It is possible that Reuel and his family were among those who returned to Jerusalem and settled there. However, no additional information is provided about Reuel's life or specific role within the tribe of Benjamin.

He was born in Canaan before Esau moved his family to the hill country of Seir, which later became known as Edom (Gen.36.8-9). Reuel became one of the chiefs of Edom, indicating that he held a position of authority and influence among the Edomites (Gen.36.17; 1Ch.1.37). His sons were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah (Gen.36.13, 17; 1Ch.1.37). The Edomites, descendants of Esau, lived in the region south of the Dead Sea and were often in conflict with the Israelites throughout their history. The mention of Reuel and his descendants in the genealogies of Esau demonstrates the fulfillment of God's promise to make Esau into a nation (Gen.25.23) and provides insight into the early history and leadership of the Edomites. ========== PERSON(s) Reumah@Gen.22.24=H7208 Woman living at the time of the Patriarchs + Nahor@Gen.11.26- Tebah@Gen.22.24, Gaham@Gen.22.24, Tahash@Gen.22.24, Maacah@Gen.22.24 > #A concubine living at the time of the Patriarchs, only mentioned at Gen.22.24;

Nahor was the grandfather of Rebekah, who would later become the wife of Isaac, Abraham's son (Gen.24.15, 24). Reumah bore four sons to Nahor: Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah. This information is provided in the context of listing Nahor's descendants, which include both the children of his wife, Milcah, and those of his concubine, Reumah. In ancient Near Eastern culture, it was not uncommon for men to have both wives and concubines. Concubines held a lower social status than wives but were still considered a part of the family. The mention of Reumah and her sons in the genealogy of Nahor shows the breadth of his family and the various branches that would have descended from him. It also provides background information on the extended family of Abraham and the relatives of Rebekah, who would become an important figure in the history of Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Rezin@2Ki.15.37-Isa=H7526G King living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Syria #A king living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.15.37;

He formed an alliance with Pekah, king of Israel, to attack Judah (Isa.7.1). Their goal was to replace Ahaz with a king who would join their coalition against the growing threat of the Assyrian Empire (Isa.7.6). The alliance between Rezin and Pekah caused great distress to Ahaz and the people of Judah (Isa.7.2). In response, the prophet Isaiah encouraged Ahaz to trust in God and not fear the two "smoldering stubs of firewood" (Isa.7.3-9). Rezin and Pekah's attack on Jerusalem was unsuccessful (2Ki.16.5). However, Rezin was able to capture the city of Elath and drive out the Judahites living there (2Ki.16.6). Ahaz, instead of relying on God, sought help from Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, by sending him tribute (2Ki.16.7-8). Tiglath-pileser responded by attacking Damascus, the capital of Aram. He captured the city, killed Rezin, and deported the Aramean people to Kir (2Ki.16.9). This event fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy about the defeat of Aram and the death of Rezin within 65 years (Isa.7.8-9). The downfall of Rezin and the Aramean kingdom was a significant moment in the history of the region, demonstrating the rising power of the Assyrian Empire and the consequences of forming alliances against God's people. ========== PERSON(s) Rezin@Ezr.2.48-Neh=H7526H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.48;

The Nethinim were a group of people assigned to assist the Levites in the maintenance and service of the temple (Ezr.8.20). They were not Israelites by birth but were likely descendants of the Gibeonites who had been assigned by Joshua to serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation and the altar of the Lord (Jos.9.23, 27). The list in Ezra 2 and Nehemiah 7 records the families and individuals who returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel, following the decree of King Cyrus of Persia (Ezr.1.1-4). The mention of Rezin's family among the Nethinim highlights the diverse group of people who were involved in the restoration of the temple and the religious life of the Jewish community after the exile. ========== PERSON(s) Rezon@1Ki.11.23=H7331 Man living at the time of United Monarchy Eliada@1Ki.11.23 + > #A man living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ki.11.23;

He had fled from his master, Hadadezer, king of Zobah, when David defeated Hadadezer's army (1Ki.11.23-24; 2Sa.8.3-8). Rezon gathered a band of men and became their leader, eventually establishing himself as king in Damascus, the capital of Aram (Syria) (1Ki.11.24). Throughout Solomon's reign, Rezon was an adversary to Israel, causing trouble alongside another of Solomon's adversaries, Hadad the Edomite (1Ki.11.25). The hostility between Rezon and Solomon was likely due to Solomon's control over the trade routes and his expanding influence in the region. The rise of Rezon as king of Aram and his opposition to Israel set the stage for the ongoing conflicts between the two kingdoms in the following centuries, as seen in the accounts of later kings of Israel and Judah. ========== PERSON(s) Rhesa@Luk.3.27=G4488 Man living at the time of Exile and Return Zerubbabel@Luk.3.27 + Joanan@Luk.3.27 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Luk.3.27;

He appears in the genealogy of Jesus recorded in the Gospel of Luke, which traces Jesus' lineage back to Adam through his mother, Mary. Zerubbabel, Rhesa's father, was a significant figure in Jewish history, as he led the first group of exiles back to Jerusalem from Babylon and oversaw the rebuilding of the temple (Ezr.3.2, 8; 5.2). The name Rhesa is not mentioned in the Old Testament, and little is known about him apart from his inclusion in Jesus' genealogy. His presence in the genealogy serves to bridge the gap between the well-known figure of Zerubbabel and the subsequent generations leading up to Jesus. The inclusion of Rhesa in the genealogy highlights the importance of family lineage in Jewish culture and the fulfillment of God's promises through the generations, ultimately leading to the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. ========== PERSON(s) Rhoda@Act.12.13=G4498 Woman living at the time of the New Testament + > #A woman living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Act.12.13;

During the reign of King Herod Agrippa I, the apostle Peter was imprisoned for his faith (Act.12.1-4). The church gathered at Mary's house to pray earnestly for Peter's safety and release (Act.12.5, 12). One night, as they were praying, an angel miraculously freed Peter from prison, and he made his way to Mary's house (Act.12.6-11). When Peter knocked at the gate, Rhoda went to answer (Act.12.13). Upon recognizing Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed that she forgot to open the gate and ran back inside to tell the others that Peter was standing outside (Act.12.14). Initially, the people inside did not believe her, thinking she was out of her mind or that it was Peter's angel (Act.12.15). However, when Peter continued knocking, they opened the door and were astonished to see him (Act.12.16). Rhoda's role in this account highlights the power of prayer and the unexpected ways in which God can answer the prayers of His people. Her joyful response to Peter's presence also demonstrates the love and unity among the early believers, even in the face of persecution. ========== PERSON(s) Ribai@2Sa.23.29-1Ch=H7380 Warrior living at the time of United Monarchy + Ittai@2Sa.23.29-1Ch > #A warrior living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.23.29;

The mighty men were a group of elite warriors who served under King David and were renowned for their bravery, skill, and loyalty (2Sa.23.8-39; 1Ch.11.10-47). Ittai, the son of Ribai, was from Gibeah, a town in the territory of Benjamin. He is listed among the mighty men, indicating that he was a valiant warrior who had distinguished himself in battle. The mention of Ribai as Ittai's father suggests that he was also a man of some importance or influence, as his son had risen to a prominent position in David's army.

He was the father of Rechab and Baanah, two of Ish-bosheth's captains (2Sa.4.2, 5). After the death of King Saul and his sons, Ish-bosheth, Saul's surviving son, was made king over Israel (2Sa.2.8-10). However, his reign was short-lived, as Rechab and Baanah, seeking to gain favor with David, murdered Ish-bosheth while he was resting in his bed (2Sa.4.5-7). They brought Ish-bosheth's head to David, believing that he would reward them for eliminating his rival (2Sa.4.8). However, David condemned their actions and ordered their execution, as they had killed an innocent man in his own house (2Sa.4.9-12). The mention of Rimmon as the father of Rechab and Baanah provides background information on the assassins and their family origin. The treacherous act committed by Rimmon's sons led to the end of Ish-bosheth's reign and solidified David's position as king over all Israel (2Sa.5.1-3). ========== PERSON(s) Rinnah@1Ch.4.20=H7441 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shimon@1Ch.4.20 + Amnon@1Ch.4.20, Ben-hanan@1Ch.4.20, Tilon@1Ch.4.20 Tribe of Judah(?) #A man from the tribe of Judah(?) living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.4.20;

He is listed alongside his brothers Ashkenaz and Togarmah in the Table of Nations, which records the descendants of Noah's sons after the Great Flood (Gen.10.1-32). The descendants of Japheth are generally associated with the peoples of Europe and Asia Minor. While the exact identity and location of the People from Riphath are uncertain, some scholars have proposed connections with the Riphean Mountains, a legendary mountain range mentioned by classical authors, or with the Paphlagonians, an ancient people who lived in the northern part of Asia Minor. However, these identifications remain speculative due to the limited information provided in the biblical text. The inclusion of Riphath in the Table of Nations highlights the diversity of peoples and nations that emerged from the descendants of Noah and their dispersal across the earth after the Flood. ========== PERSON(s) Rizia@1Ch.7.39=H7525 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shual@1Ch.7.36- + Arah@1Ch.7.39, Hanniel@1Ch.7.39 Tribe of Asher #A man from the tribe of Asher living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.7.39;

She bore Saul two sons, Armoni and Mephibosheth (2Sa.21.8). After Saul's death, Abner, the commander of Saul's army, had relations with Rizpah, which was seen as a challenge to the authority of Saul's son and successor, Ish-bosheth (2Sa.3.7). Years later, during the reign of King David, a famine struck Israel for three years (2Sa.21.1). The Lord revealed that the famine was a consequence of Saul's attempt to kill the Gibeonites, with whom Israel had made a treaty (2Sa.21.1-2; Jos.9.3-27). To make atonement, the Gibeonites demanded the execution of seven of Saul's male descendants, including Rizpah's sons, Armoni and Mephibosheth (2Sa.21.5-9). Rizpah displayed great devotion and grief by protecting the bodies of her sons from birds and wild animals, staying with them from the beginning of the harvest until the rains came (2Sa.21.10). When David heard of Rizpah's actions, he ordered the proper burial of the bones of Saul, Jonathan, and the seven executed men (2Sa.21.11-14). Rizpah's story highlights the tragic consequences of Saul's disobedience and the depths of a mother's love and grief in the face of loss. ========== PERSON(s) Rohgah@1Ch.7.34=H7303 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shomer@1Ch.7.32- + Ahi@1Ch.7.34, Jehubbah@1Ch.7.34, Aram@1Ch.7.34 Tribe of Asher #A man from the tribe of Asher living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.7.34;

Heman, along with Asaph and Jeduthun, was a chief musician and prophet in the service of the tabernacle (1Ch.25.1, 5). Romamti-ezer and his brothers were skilled musicians who were trained in singing to the Lord (1Ch.25.7). They were divided into twenty-four groups, each responsible for leading worship in the temple for a specific period (1Ch.25.8-31). Romamti-ezer was the head of the twenty-fourth division (1Ch.25.31). The inclusion of Romamti-ezer and his brothers in the organization of temple worship highlights the importance of music and praise in Israelite worship and the role of the Levites in facilitating this aspect of devotion to God. ========== PERSON(s) Rosh@Gen.46.21-1Ch=H7220 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Benjamin@Gen.35.18-Rev + Bela@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Becher@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Ashbel@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Gera@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Naaman@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Muppim@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Huppim@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Ard@Gen.46.21, Ahiram@Gen.46.21-1Ch, Jediael@1Ch.7.6- Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Gen.46.21;

He is listed among the descendants of Jacob who went to Egypt during the time of Joseph (Gen.46.21). In the genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin in 1 Chronicles 8, Rosh (or Rapha) is mentioned again as a son of Benjamin (1Ch.8.2). The name "Rosh" means "head" or "chief," while "Rapha" means "giant" or "mighty one." It is possible that these two names refer to the same individual, with "Rapha" being an alternate name or title. No further information is provided about Rosh (or Rapha) or his role within the tribe of Benjamin.

Simon was from Cyrene, a city in present-day Libya, and he was visiting Jerusalem, likely for the Passover festival. The fact that Mark specifically names Rufus and his brother Alexander suggests that they were known to the early Christian community and may have become followers of Jesus. In Rom.16.13, Paul sends greetings to a man named Rufus, whom he describes as "chosen in the Lord," and to his mother, who had also been a mother figure to Paul. While it is not certain, some scholars believe that this Rufus could be the same person mentioned in Mark's Gospel, as the sons of Simon of Cyrene. If this is the case, it would indicate that Rufus not only witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus but also became a prominent member of the early church. However, due to the commonness of the name Rufus, this connection remains speculative. ========== PERSON(s) Rufus@Rom.16.13=G4504H Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Rom.16.13;

Paul describes him as "chosen in the Lord," indicating that he was a faithful and distinguished believer. Paul also sends greetings to Rufus' mother, whom he says had been like a mother to him as well. This suggests that Rufus and his mother had a close relationship with Paul and had shown him kindness and hospitality, possibly during his missionary travels. The fact that Paul singles out Rufus and his mother for special mention implies that they were well-known and respected within the Roman church. Some scholars speculate that this Rufus could be the same person as the son of Simon of Cyrene mentioned in Mrk.15.21, but there is no conclusive evidence to support this connection. ========== PERSON(s) Ruth@Rut.1.4-Mat=H7327 Woman living before Israel's Monarchy + Mahlon@Rut.1.2-, Boaz@Rut.2.1-Luk Obed@Rut.4.17-Luk Moab #A woman of the Moabites living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Rut.1.4;

After the deaths of Elimelech, Mahlon, and Chilion (Naomi's other son), Naomi decided to return to Bethlehem (Rut.1.6-7). Ruth, despite Naomi's urging to return to her own people, insisted on staying with her mother-in-law, demonstrating remarkable loyalty and faith in the God of Israel (Rut.1.14-18). In Bethlehem, Ruth worked in the fields, gleaning grain to support herself and Naomi (Rut.2.2-3). She caught the attention of Boaz, a wealthy relative of Elimelech (Rut.2.8-16). Following Naomi's advice, Ruth approached Boaz at the threshing floor, asking him to fulfill the role of a kinsman-redeemer (Rut.3.1-9). Boaz, impressed by Ruth's character and loyalty, agreed to marry her after a closer relative declined to do so (Rut.4.1-12). Ruth and Boaz had a son named Obed, who became the grandfather of King David (Rut.4.13-17). As an ancestor of David, Ruth is also mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ (Mat.1.5). Her story exemplifies God's grace, providential care, and the inclusion of Gentiles in His plan of redemption. ========== PERSON(s) Sabtah@Gen.10.7-1Ch=H5454 Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Cush@Gen.10.6-1Ch + Seba@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Havilah@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Raamah@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Sabteca@Gen.10.7-1Ch, Nimrod@Gen.10.8-Mic Early Patriarch #A man of the Cushites living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.7;

As a result of God's blessing upon Obed-edom's household during this time, David appointed him and his sons as gatekeepers in the tabernacle (1Ch.15.18, 24). Sachar is listed among Obed-edom's eight sons, who are described as "able men with strength for the service" (1Ch.26.8). The gatekeepers were responsible for guarding the entrances to the tabernacle, maintaining order, and ensuring that only authorized individuals entered the sacred spaces (1Ch.9.22-27).

He is described as the father (ie founder) of Bethlehem, which suggests that he was an ancestor of the people who inhabited the town of Bethlehem in Judah. The genealogy in 1 Chronicles 2 lists the descendants of Judah, including the line of Caleb, which played a significant role in the history of Israel. In verse 54, Salma is also associated with the Netophathites, a group of people who lived in the town of Netophah, near Bethlehem (Ezr.2.22; Neh.7.26). This connection further emphasizes Salma's link to the region of Bethlehem and its surrounding areas.

He was the son of Nahshon, who was a leader of the tribe of Judah during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings (Num.1.7; 2.3; 7.12). Salmon married Rahab, the Canaanite woman who helped the Israelite spies in Jericho (Joshua 2; Num.6.22-25). This marriage is significant because it demonstrates God's grace and the inclusion of Gentiles in the lineage of the Messiah. Salmon and Rahab's son was Boaz, who married Ruth, the Moabite woman (Rut.4.13, 21). Boaz and Ruth's son was Obed, the father of Jesse, who was the father of King David (Rut.4.17, 22). Thus, Salmon is an important figure in the genealogy of David and, consequently, in the lineage of Jesus Christ (Mat.1.5-6, 16). The variations in the spelling of his name (Salmon or Sala) in different passages may be due to linguistic differences or scribal traditions. ========== PERSON(s) Salome@Mat.14.6=G2266H Woman living at the time of New Testament - daughter of Herodias Philip@Mat.14.3-Luk + Herodias@Mat.14.3-Luk > #A woman living at the time of New Testament, only mentioned at Mat.14.6;

Prompted by her mother Herodias, who held a grudge against John the Baptist for speaking out against her marriage to Herod, Salome requested the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Herod, though grieved, felt bound by his oath and ordered the execution of John the Baptist. Salome's dance and her role in John the Baptist's death highlight the moral corruption and political intrigues within Herod's court. ========== PERSON(s) Salome@Mat.20.20-Mrk=G4539 Woman living at the time of the New Testament Heli@Luk.3.23(?) + wife_of_Heli@Luk.1.5 Mary@Mat.1.16-Act(?)

She was perhaps the wife of Zebedee. @Article= In Mat.20.20-21, she approached Jesus with her sons, requesting that they be granted positions of honor and authority in His kingdom. This request demonstrated her ambition for her sons but also her limited understanding of the nature of Jesus' mission at the time. Jesus responded by teaching about the importance of humility and service in His kingdom (Mat.20.22-28). Salome is mentioned in Mrk.15.40 and Mrk.16.1 as one of the women who were present at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and later went to His tomb on the morning of His resurrection. In Mrk.15.40, she is described as one of the women who watched the crucifixion from a distance, along with Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James the younger and Joses. Her husband was Zebedee, according to hints at Matt 27.56 with Mrk.15.40. These women had followed Jesus and cared for His needs during His ministry in Galilee (Mrk.15.41). After the crucifixion, Salome, along with Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, bought spices to anoint Jesus' body (Mrk.16.1). They went to the tomb early on the first day of the week, intending to perform this act of devotion. However, when they arrived, they found the stone rolled away and a young man (an angel) who informed them that Jesus had risen (Mrk.16.2-6). The angel instructed them to tell the disciples, especially Peter, that Jesus would meet them in Galilee (Mrk.16.7). Salome's presence at both the crucifixion and the tomb on the morning of the resurrection highlights her devotion to Jesus and her role as a witness to these crucial events in the Christian faith. @Ambiguity=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WI5gOd0O-wfPf5rjuRPW5yhxNFoedx2fssmgOQGYj7o/edit?tab=t.0#bookmark=id.idy0jetg75it ========== PERSON(s) Salu@Num.25.14=H5543C Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness + Zimri@Num.25.14 > #A man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Num.25.14;

The context of this passage is the Israelites' encounter with the Moabites and Midianites at Shittim, where the Israelites began to engage in sexual immorality and idolatry with the women of these nations (Num.25.1-3). This sin provoked God's anger, and He sent a plague among the Israelites (Num.25.4-5). During this time, an Israelite man named Zimri brought a Midianite woman named Cozbi into his tent in full view of the congregation, who were weeping at the entrance of the tabernacle (Num.25.6). Phinehas, the grandson of Aaron the priest, saw this and took a spear, followed the man into the tent, and killed both Zimri and Cozbi (Num.25.7-8). This act of zeal turned away God's wrath, and the plague stopped (Num.25.9-11). The passage identifies Zimri as the son of Salu, a prince of a Simeonite father's house, emphasizing his prominent position within the tribe (Num.25.14). Salu's mention in this context serves to underscore the severity of his son's sin and the consequences it brought upon the Israelites. ========== PERSON(s) Samgar@Jer.39.3=H5562 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Jer.39.3;

The context of this passage describes the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem, which occurred after a prolonged siege (Jer.39.1-2). When the city wall was breached, the Babylonian officials entered the city and took up positions at the Middle Gate (Jer.39.3). Samgar is listed among these officials, along with Nergal-sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-sarsekim the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and other officials of the king of Babylon. The exact role or position of Samgar within the Babylonian hierarchy is not specified in the text. However, his presence among the officials at the fall of Jerusalem indicates that he was a person of some importance in the Babylonian administration. The fall of Jerusalem and the subsequent exile of the Judahites to Babylon was a significant event in the history of Israel, marking the end of the Davidic monarchy and the beginning of the Babylonian captivity, which lasted for 70 years (Jer.25.11-12). ========== PERSON(s) Samlah@Gen.36.36-1Ch=H8072 King living at the time of the Patriarchs + Edom #A king of Edom living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.36.36;

He was from the city of Masrekah and succeeded Hadad, son of Bedad, as king of Edom. After Samlah's death, Shaul from Rehoboth on the River succeeded him as king. The genealogies in Genesis 36 and 1 Chronicles 1 list the descendants of Esau, who was Jacob's brother, and the kings who ruled in Edom. These kings were not necessarily related to each other, and their reigns were not dynastic. The mention of these kings demonstrates Edom's political organization and its existence as a nation before Israel had a centralized monarchy. Samlah's inclusion in these lists provides a glimpse into the history of Edom and its relationship with Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Samson@Jdg.13.24-Heb=H8123 Judge living before Israel's Monarchy Manoah@Jdg.13.2- + Delilah@Jdg.16.4- > #A Judge living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Jdg.13.24;

His birth was announced by an angel to his parents, Manoah and his wife, who had been barren (Jdg.13.2-5). The angel instructed them to raise Samson as a Nazirite, dedicated to God from birth (Jdg.13.5, 7). As Samson grew, the Lord blessed him, and the Spirit of the Lord began to stir him (Jdg.13.24-25). Samson's life was characterized by his immense strength, which he used to fight against the Philistines. He killed a lion with his bare hands (Jdg.14.5-6), struck down thirty men of Ashkelon (Jdg.14.19), and killed a thousand Philistines with a donkey's jawbone (Jdg.15.14-16). However, Samson's weakness was his attraction to foreign women. He fell in love with a Philistine woman named Delilah, who eventually betrayed him by discovering the secret of his strength (Jdg.16.4-20). The Philistines captured Samson, blinded him, and forced him to grind grain in prison (Jdg.16.21). During a Philistine festival, Samson was brought out to entertain them. He prayed to God for strength one last time and pushed against the pillars of the temple, causing it to collapse and kill himself along with many Philistines (Jdg.16.22-30). Despite his flaws, Samson is remembered as a man of faith who delivered Israel from Philistine oppression (Heb.11.32). ========== PERSON(s) Samuel@1Sa.1.20-Heb=H8050G Prophet living at the time of United Monarchy Elkanah@1Sa.1.1-1Ch + Hannah@1Sa.1.2- Joel@1Sa.8.2-1Ch, Abijah@1Sa.8.2-1Ch Tribe of Levi #A prophet from the tribe of Levi living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Sa.1.20;

He was born to Hannah, who had been barren, and dedicated to the Lord's service from birth (1Sa.1.11, 20). Samuel grew up in the tabernacle under the guidance of Eli the priest (1Sa.2.18, 21, 26). God called Samuel while he was still a boy, and he became a prophet (1 Samuel 3). Samuel played a crucial role in Israel's transition from the period of the judges to the monarchy. He led Israel in a decisive victory over the Philistines at Mizpah (1Sa.7.5-14) and served as a judge over Israel (1Sa.7.15-17). When the people demanded a king, Samuel anointed Saul as the first king of Israel (1 Samuel 8-10). However, when Saul disobeyed God, Samuel announced that God had rejected him as king (1 Samuel 15). Samuel then anointed David as the next king (1Sa.16.1-13). Samuel continued to guide and counsel David, even when Saul pursued him (1Sa.19.18). After Samuel's death, he was buried in Ramah (1Sa.25.1; 28.3). He is remembered as a faithful prophet and judge who played a pivotal role in Israel's history (Psalm 1Sa.99.6; Jer.15.1; Act.3.24; 13.20; Heb.11.32). ¶In 1Ch.6.33 he is listed in the genealogy of the Levites, specifically in the line of Kohath, which was one of the three main divisions of the Levites (1Ch.6.1, 33). This Samuel is an ancestor of Heman, who was one of the chief musicians appointed by David to lead worship in the tabernacle (1Ch.6.31-33). It is important to note that this Samuel is not the same person as the prophet and judge Samuel, who was also the son of an Elkanah (1Sa.1.20).

When Sanballat heard that Nehemiah had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel, he was deeply disturbed (Neh.2.10). Along with Tobiah the Ammonite and Geshem the Arab, Sanballat mocked and ridiculed the Jews' efforts to rebuild the wall (Neh.2.19; 4.1-3). When the wall was being built, Sanballat became furious and plotted with others to attack Jerusalem and create confusion (Neh.4.7-8). Despite these threats, Nehemiah and the people continued to work on the wall, setting up guards to protect against potential attacks (Neh.4.9-23). Sanballat, along with Tobiah and Geshem, tried to lure Nehemiah away from the city to harm him, but Nehemiah refused to meet with them (Neh.6.1-4). They also accused Nehemiah of rebelling against the king of Persia, but Nehemiah denied these allegations (Neh.6.5-9). Later, Nehemiah discovered that one of the priests, Eliashib, had allied himself with Tobiah and prepared a room for him in the courts of the house of God (Neh.13.4-7). Nehemiah also learned that one of Eliashib's grandsons had married Sanballat's daughter, and he drove him away (Neh.13.28). Throughout the book of Nehemiah, Sanballat is portrayed as a persistent enemy who sought to hinder the rebuilding of Jerusalem and undermine Nehemiah's leadership. ========== PERSON(s) Saph@2Sa.21.18-1Ch=H5593 Giant living at the time of United Monarchy Rapha@2Sa.21.16-1Ch + Goliath@1Sa.17.4-1Ch, Ishbi-benob@2Sa.21.16, Lahmi@2Sa.21.16-1Ch, huge_man@2Sa.21.20-1Ch > #A gigantic man living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.21.18;

The battle took place at Gob (2Sa.21.18) or Gezer (1Ch.20.4), and it was part of a series of battles in which David's mighty men fought against the Philistine giants (2Sa.21.15-22; 1 Chronicles 20). ========== PERSON(s) Sapphira@Act.5.1=G4551 Woman living at the time of the New Testament + Ananias@Act.5.1- > #A woman living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Act.5.1;

The couple sold a piece of property and conspired to keep back part of the proceeds for themselves while presenting the remainder to the apostles as if it were the full amount (Act.5.1-2). When Ananias presented the money to the apostles, Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, confronted him about his deception, and Ananias fell down and died (Act.5.3-5). About three hours later, Sapphira came in, unaware of her husband's fate. Peter questioned her about the price of the land, and she also lied, confirming the amount that Ananias had presented (Act.5.7-8). Peter then rebuked her for testing the Spirit of the Lord and informed her that those who had buried her husband would also carry her out. Immediately, Sapphira fell down at Peter's feet and died (Act.5.9-10). The story of Ananias and Sapphira serves as a sobering example of the consequences of deception and the importance of honesty and integrity within the early church community. ========== PERSON(s) Sarah@Gen.11.29-1Pe=H8283 Woman living at the time of the Patriarchs Terah@Gen.11.24-Luk + Abraham@Gen.11.26-1Pe, Nahor@Gen.11.26-, Haran@Gen.11.26- Abraham@Gen.11.26-1Pe Isaac@Gen.17.19-Jas Early Patriarch #A woman living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.11.29;

She was born in Ur of the Chaldeans and married Abraham (then known as Abram) while they lived in Haran (Gen.11.29-31). Sarah accompanied Abraham when God called him to leave Haran and go to the land of Canaan (Gen.12.5). Despite God's promise that Abraham would have numerous descendants, Sarah was barren (Gen.11.30). In her impatience, she gave her Egyptian maidservant, Hagar, to Abraham as a wife to bear a child on her behalf (Gen.16.1-4). This resulted in the birth of Ishmael (Gen.16.15-16). When Abraham was 99 years old, God reaffirmed His covenant with him, changed his name from Abram to Abraham, and changed Sarai's name to Sarah (Gen.17.5, 15). God promised that Sarah would bear a son, Isaac, through whom the covenant would be established (Gen.17.19, 21; 18.10-14). Sarah initially laughed at this idea due to her advanced age (Gen.18.12-15). However, as God had promised, Sarah conceived and gave birth to Isaac when she was 90 years old (Gen.21.1-7). Sarah's faith is commended in Heb.11.11, which states that she received the ability to conceive because she considered God faithful to His promise. Sarah died at the age of 127 in Kirjath-arba (Hebron), and Abraham purchased the cave of Machpelah as a burial site for her (Gen.23.1-20). Her life story demonstrates the importance of faith, patience, and trust in God's promises, even in the face of seemingly impossible circumstances. ========== PERSON(s) Saraph@1Ch.4.22=H8315 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Shelah@Gen.38.5-1Ch + Er@1Ch.4.21, Laadah@1Ch.4.21, Jokim@1Ch.4.22, Joash@1Ch.4.22 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at 1Ch.4.22;

The genealogy in 1 Chronicles 4 lists some of the prominent families and individuals within the tribe of Judah. Saraph is described as one of the men who "had dominion in Moab and Jashubi-lehem" (1Ch.4.22). This suggests that Saraph and his family may have had some influence or authority in the region of Moab, a neighboring nation to Israel. However, no further details are provided about Saraph's life or his specific role. The mention of Jashubi-lehem is also unclear, as it could refer to a place or a person. Saraph's inclusion in the genealogy serves to highlight the various descendants of Judah and their activities in the surrounding regions. ========== PERSON(s) Saul@1Sa.9.2-Act=H7586G King living at the time of United Monarchy Kish@1Sa.9.1-Act + Ahinoam@1Sa.14.50, Rizpah@2Sa.3.7- Jonathan@1Sa.13.2-1Ch, Abinadab@1Sa.14.49-1Ch, Malchi-shua@1Sa.14.49-1Ch, Merab@1Sa.14.49-2Sa, Michal@1Sa.14.49-1Ch, Ish-bosheth@2Sa.2.8-1Ch, Armoni@2Sa.21.8, Mephibosheth@2Sa.21.8 Tribe of Benjamin #A king of Israel, from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Sa.9.2;

He was a tall and handsome Benjamite who initially showed humility and potential as a leader (1Sa.9.2, 21; 10.6-7, 9-10). However, Saul's reign was marked by disobedience and rebellion against God. He offered an unlawful sacrifice before a battle against the Philistines (1Sa.13.8-14) and later disobeyed God's command to completely destroy the Amalekites and their possessions (1 Samuel 15). As a result, God rejected Saul as king and chose David to replace him (1Sa.15.23, 28; 16.1, 13). Saul became jealous of David's success and popularity, leading him to pursue David and attempt to kill him on multiple occasions (1 Samuel 18-26). Saul also massacred the priests of Nob for assisting David (1Sa.22.6-23). In a battle against the Philistines, Saul was critically wounded and took his own life to avoid capture (1Sa.31.1-6). His body was later recovered by the men of Jabesh-gilead and buried (1Sa.31.11-13). Despite his tragic end, Saul's reign united the tribes of Israel and laid the foundation for the Israelite monarchy. His life serves as a warning against disobedience and the consequences of turning away from God. ========== PERSON(s) Sceva@Act.19.14=G4630 Priest living at the time of the New Testament + Tribe of Levi #A priest living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Act.19.14; called Sceva (Σκευᾶς) Male – Named Sceva@Act.19.14 G4630«G4630=Σκευᾶς Sceva https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Sceva*|reference=Act.19.14 Act.19.14 – Total Sceva G4630 Act.19.14; 1 @Briefest= From Levi @Brief= Jewish chief priest whose seven sons attempted to exorcise demons @Short= Sceva was a Jewish chief priest whose seven sons attempted to exorcise demons in the name of Jesus, as mentioned in the book of Acts. @Article= Sceva is mentioned in Act.19.14 as a Jewish chief priest whose seven sons were involved in the practice of exorcism. The context of this passage is Paul's ministry in Ephesus, where he performed extraordinary miracles, and many people were delivered from evil spirits (Act.19.11-12). Some itinerant Jewish exorcists, including the seven sons of Sceva, attempted to invoke the name of Jesus over those possessed by evil spirits, saying, "We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches" (Act.19.13). However, when they tried to exorcise a man with an evil spirit, the spirit responded, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?" (Act.19.15).

The Scythians were known for their barbaric reputation and were considered uncivilized by the Greeks and Romans. They lived in the area north of the Black Sea and were skilled horsemen and archers.

Sennacherib, Sargon's son and successor, is more prominently featured in the biblical narrative (2 Kings 18-19; 2 Chronicles 32; Isaiah 36-37). He invaded Judah during the reign of King Hezekiah and besieged Jerusalem. Sennacherib demanded tribute from Hezekiah and threatened to destroy the city. Hezekiah prayed to God for deliverance, and the prophet Isaiah prophesied that God would defend Jerusalem. As a result, the Assyrian army was miraculously defeated, and Sennacherib returned to Nineveh, where he was later assassinated by his own sons.

As the high priest, Seraiah held the highest religious authority in the land and was responsible for overseeing the temple services and religious practices. He was also a descendant of Aaron, as evident from the genealogical records in 1 Chronicles and Ezra. Tragically, after the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians, Seraiah was captured and executed by Nebuzaradan, the captain of the Babylonian guard, at Riblah.

Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, confronted Elymas and temporarily blinded him, which led to Sergius Paulus believing, being astonished at the teaching about the Lord.

Along with his brother Adrammelech, Sharezer plotted against their father and assassinated him while he was worshiping in the temple of his god, Nisroch. After committing the murder, Sharezer and Adrammelech fled to the land of Ararat, which was located in modern-day Armenia. The assassination of Sennacherib occurred shortly after his campaign against Jerusalem during the reign of King Hezekiah. The text does not provide any further details about Sharezer's life or his motivations for the assassination. However, the incident highlights the political instability and power struggles within the Assyrian royal family. The fact that Sharezer and his brother fled to Ararat suggests that they feared retribution or lacked support within Assyria. The assassination of Sennacherib marked the end of his reign and was a significant event in the history of Assyria and its relations with the kingdom of Judah. ========== PERSON(s) Sharezer@Zec.7.2=H8272H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Zec.7.2;

The delegation, which also included Regem-melech and his men, came to inquire about whether they should continue the practice of fasting and mourning in the fifth month, as they had been doing for many years. This fasting was likely associated with the commemoration of the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem. The prophet Zechariah responded to their inquiry by emphasizing the importance of true repentance, justice, and compassion rather than merely observing ritual fasts. The text does not provide any further details about Sharezer's background or his role within the delegation.

Following the Babylonian exile, when the Israelites returned to Jerusalem, Ezra discovered that many of them, including priests and Levites, had intermarried with the neighboring peoples. This was seen as a violation of God's law and a threat to the religious purity of the community. Ezra called for an assembly of the people and urged them to confess their sins and separate themselves from their foreign wives. Shashai was among those who agreed to divorce his foreign wife as part of this religious reform.

He is listed in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin, which trace the lineage of prominent figures within the tribe. In verse 14, Shashak is identified as one of the sons of Elpaal, along with his brothers Beriah and Shema. Later, in verse 25, Shashak is mentioned again as the son of Beriah and the father of Iphedeiah and Penuel.

In the genealogical records of the Levites, Shaul is listed as the son of Uzziah and the father of Uriel. The name Shaul is used in verse 24, while Joel is used in verse 36, likely due to textual variations or scribal differences. The Kohathites were one of the major divisions of the Levites and were responsible for carrying the sacred objects of the tabernacle during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. The genealogy in 1 Chronicles 6 traces the lineage of the Levites, particularly the descendants of Kohath, highlighting their important role in the religious life of Israel. The mention of Shaul (or Joel) in this genealogy establishes his place within the Levitical lineage and emphasizes the continuity of the Kohathite family in their sacred duties. ========== PERSON(s) Shaul@Gen.36.37-1Ch=H7586I King living at the time of the Patriarchs + Edom #A king of Edom living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.36.37;

Shaul reigned as king after the death of Samlah and was succeeded by Baal-hanan, the son of Achbor. The text does not provide any details about the length of Shaul's reign or his specific achievements as king. The mention of Shaul in the lists of Edomite kings highlights the succession of rulers in Edom and provides a historical context for the relationship between Edom and Israel. The fact that Shaul is identified by his place of origin, Rehoboth on the Euphrates, sets him apart from the other Edomite kings and may indicate the extent of Edom's political or commercial connections during his reign. ========== PERSON(s) Shaul@Gen.46.10-1Ch=H7586H Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Simeon@Gen.29.33-Rev + Canaanite_woman@Gen.46.10-Exo Jemuel@Gen.46.10-1Ch, Jamin@Gen.46.10-1Ch, Ohad@Gen.46.10-Exo, Jachin@Gen.46.10-1Ch, Zerah@Gen.46.10-1Ch Shallum@1Ch.4.25 Tribe of Simeon #A man from the tribe of Simeon living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Gen.46.10;

The incident with Sheba highlights the fragile unity between Israel and Judah during David's reign and the challenges he faced in maintaining control over the kingdom. It also demonstrates the importance of wise counsel and the role of negotiation in resolving conflicts. ========== PERSON(s) Sheba@Gen.10.28-1Ch=H7614H Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Joktan@Gen.10.25-1Ch + Almodad@Gen.10.26-1Ch, Sheleph@Gen.10.26-1Ch, Hazarmaveth@Gen.10.26-1Ch, Jerah@Gen.10.26-1Ch, Hadoram@Gen.10.27-1Ch, Uzal@Gen.10.27-1Ch, Diklah@Gen.10.27-1Ch, Obal@Gen.10.28-1Ch, Abimael@Gen.10.28-1Ch, Ophir@Gen.10.29-1Ch, Havilah@Gen.10.29-1Ch, Jobab@Gen.10.29-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.28;

The Sabeans, the inhabitants of Sheba, were renowned for their wealth, trade in spices, gold, and precious stones, and their influential position in the ancient Near Eastern trade network. The connection between Sheba, the descendant of Joktan, and the kingdom of Sheba suggests that the Joktanites may have been among the early settlers and founders of this prosperous kingdom. The mention of Sheba in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10) and the genealogy in 1 Chronicles highlights the spread and distribution of the descendants of Noah's sons after the Flood and their role in populating various regions of the ancient world. ========== PERSON(s) Sheba@Gen.10.7-Jol=H7614G Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Raamah@Gen.10.7-1Ch + Dedan@Gen.10.7-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man of the Cushites living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.7;

After Sarah's death, Abraham took Keturah as his wife and had several children with her. These children, including Jokshan and his sons Sheba and Dedan, are associated with the peoples and tribes of northern Arabia and the surrounding regions. The mention of Sheba as a descendant of Abraham through Keturah indicates the spread of Abraham's lineage beyond the primary line of Isaac and Israel (or 'Jacob'). The Sheba mentioned in this context is distinct from the Sheba who was a descendant of Cush (Gen.10.7) and the Sheba who was a descendant of Joktan (Gen.10.28). The multiple individuals named Sheba in the biblical record suggest the prominence and influence of the Arabian tribes and kingdoms in the ancient Near East, particularly in the context of trade and commerce. ========== PERSON(s) Shebaniah@1Ch.15.24=H7645G Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A musician living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.15.24;

The mention of Shecaniah and his sons in this genealogy highlights the continuation of the Davidic line even after the exile and the importance of maintaining family records. The text does not provide any further details about Shecaniah's life, his role within the community, or any specific achievements. However, his inclusion in the genealogy serves to emphasize the enduring significance of the Davidic covenant and the hope for the restoration of the Davidic kingdom, which would ultimately find its fulfillment in the coming of the Messiah. ========== PERSON(s) Shecaniah@2Ch.31.15=H7935I Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ch.31.15;

Caleb, one of the faithful spies who had encouraged the Israelites to trust in God's power, was given Hebron as his inheritance.

He is mentioned in 1Ki.11.40, 14:25, and 2Ch.12.2-9 in connection with his invasion of Judah during the reign of King Rehoboam, the son of Solomon. When Jeroboam, Solomon's servant, rebelled against Rehoboam, he fled to Egypt and found refuge under Shishak's protection. In the fifth year of Rehoboam's reign, Shishak attacked Jerusalem with a vast army, capturing fortified cities in Judah. He seized treasures from the temple and the royal palace, including gold shields that Solomon had made. Rehoboam humbled himself before the Lord, and God granted Judah deliverance from complete destruction. However, they became subject to Shishak, and Rehoboam had to replace the gold shields with bronze ones. Shishak's invasion significantly weakened Judah's power and wealth, marking a decline from the prosperous reign of Solomon. Historically, Shishak is identified with Sheshonk I, the founder of the 22nd Dynasty of Egypt, and his invasion of Judah is confirmed by archaeological evidence, including a relief at the Karnak Temple in Egypt that lists numerous places he conquered, including many in Israel and Judah. ========== PERSON(s) Shitrai@1Ch.27.29=H7861 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.27.29;

He is described as the father (ie founder) of Kiriath-jearim, a city in Judah. The genealogy in 1 Chronicles 2 lists Shobal among the descendants of Hur, along with his brothers Salma and Hareph. In 1 Chronicles 4, Shobal is mentioned again as the father of Reaiah, who was the father of Jahath. This passage also states that the families of Kiriath-jearim, including the Ithrites, Puthites, Shumathites, and Mishraites, were descended from Shobal. These clans were known for their various occupations, such as scribes, linen workers, and potters.

The Horites were the original inhabitants of the mountainous region of Seir, which later became known as Edom. Shobal's descendants, along with the other Horite clans, are listed in the genealogy of the chiefs of Edom. This genealogy demonstrates the intermingling of the Horites with the Edomites, who were descended from Esau, and the eventual dominance of the Edomites in the region. ========== PERSON(s) Shobek@Neh.10.24=H7733 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Neh.10.24;

The narrative in Genesis 38 focuses on the story of Judah and Tamar, with Bath-shua's sons playing a significant role. Er, Judah's firstborn, was killed by God due to his wickedness, and Onan, who was obligated to provide an heir for his deceased brother, also displeased God and died. Bath-shua is not mentioned beyond her role as the mother of Judah's sons, and her Canaanite origin is significant in the context of the Israelites' relationship with the Canaanites in the Promised Land. ========== PERSON(s) Shuah@Gen.25.2-1Ch=H7744 Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Abraham@Gen.11.26-1Pe + Keturah@Gen.25.1-1Ch Ishmael@Gen.16.11-Psa, Isaac@Gen.17.19-Jas, Zimran@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Jokshan@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Medan@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Midian@Gen.25.2-1Ch, Ishbak@Gen.25.2-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.25.2;

Bildad is consistently referred to as "Bildad the Shuhite," indicating that he belonged to the Shuhite people group. The Shuhites' exact location and origin are not specified in the Bible. Bildad, along with Eliphaz the Temanite and Zophar the Naamathite, engaged in a series of dialogues with Job, attempting to explain his suffering and urging him to repent. However, their understanding of God's ways was limited, and they often accused Job wrongly.

Others propose that it could be a feminine form of "Solomon," indicating a connection to King Solomon or a symbolic name for the beloved woman in the song. The verse depicts the lover asking his beloved to return, so that "we" (possibly the Shulammites) may gaze upon her.

He ruled over the territory east of the Jordan River, which the Israelites sought to pass through on their way to the Promised Land. ¶When Moses sent messengers to Sihon requesting permission to pass through his land peacefully, Sihon refused and instead gathered his army to attack the Israelites (Num.21.21-23; Deu.2.26-30). In response, the Israelites fought against Sihon and his army, defeating them and conquering his territory (Num.21.24-25; Deu.2.31-37). The victory over Sihon was seen as a significant milestone in the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land and a demonstration of God's power and faithfulness to His people. ¶The conquest of Sihon's kingdom, along with that of Og, king of Bashan, allowed the Israelites to settle in the Transjordan region, with the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half of Manasseh receiving their inheritance there (Num.32.33; Jos.13.10, 21, 27).

He is first mentioned in Act.15.22 as a prominent member of the Jerusalem church, along with Judas Barsabbas, chosen to accompany Paul and Barnabas to Antioch to deliver the decision of the Jerusalem Council regarding Gentile believers. ¶Described as a prophet (Act.15.32), Silas played a vital role in encouraging and strengthening the churches. After parting ways with Barnabas, Paul chose Silas as his new companion for his second missionary journey (Act.15.40). Together, they traveled through Syria, Cilicia, and various cities in Asia Minor, preaching the gospel and establishing churches. ¶In Philippi, Paul and Silas were imprisoned for their ministry but were miraculously freed by an earthquake (Act.16.19-40). They continued their journey, ministering in Thessalonica, Berea, and Corinth (Act.17.1-18:5). Silas remained with Paul in Corinth for an extended period, helping him establish the church there. ¶In addition to his missionary work, Silas is also mentioned as a co-author of some of Paul's epistles, specifically 1 and 2 Thessalonians (1Th.1.1; 2Th.1.1). He is also referred to as Silvanus in 2Co.1.19 and 1Pe.5.12, where he is described as a faithful brother. ¶Silas' dedication to the gospel, his leadership in the early church, and his partnership with Paul make him an important figure in the spread of Christianity during the first century. ========== PERSON(s) Simeon@Act.13.1=G4826I Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.13.1;

As a prophet and teacher, Simeon would have been involved in proclaiming God's word and instructing the believers in Antioch. It was during a time of worship and fasting that the Holy Spirit called Barnabas and Saul to be set apart for the work of spreading the gospel to the Gentiles. Simeon, along with the other leaders, laid their hands on Barnabas and Saul and sent them off on their first missionary journey, which marked a significant expansion of the early Christian church. ========== PERSON(s) Simeon@Gen.29.33-Rev=H8095G Jacob's son living at the time of the Patriarchs Israel@Gen.25.26-Rev + Leah@Gen.29.16-Rut Reuben@Gen.29.32-Rev, Levi@Gen.29.34-Rev, Judah@Gen.29.35-Rev, Dan@Gen.30.6-1Ch, Naphtali@Gen.30.8-Rev, Gad@Gen.30.11-Rev, Asher@Gen.30.13-Rev, Issachar@Gen.30.18-Rev, Zebulun@Gen.30.20-Rev, Dinah@Gen.30.21-, Joseph@Gen.30.24-Rev, Benjamin@Gen.35.18-Rev Canaanite_woman@Gen.46.10-Exo, a_wife_of_Simeon@Gen.46.10 Jemuel@Gen.46.10-1Ch, Jamin@Gen.46.10-1Ch, Ohad@Gen.46.10-Exo, Jachin@Gen.46.10-1Ch, Zerah@Gen.46.10-1Ch, Shaul@Gen.46.10-1Ch Tribe of Simeon #A man who founded the tribe of Simeon living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.29.33;

He was one of the twelve sons of Jacob who became the founders of the twelve tribes of Israel. Simeon, along with his brother Levi, took violent revenge against the Shechemites for the rape of their sister Dinah (Gen.34.25-30). This action was condemned by their father, Jacob (Gen.49.5-7). ¶When Joseph's brothers went to Egypt during the famine, Joseph took Simeon as a hostage until they brought their youngest brother, Benjamin (Gen.42.24,36; 43.23). Simeon was later released and returned to Canaan with his brothers (Gen.46.10). ¶The tribe of Simeon, descended from Simeon, was one of the twelve tribes of Israel. During the wilderness wanderings, the tribe of Simeon was led by Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai (Num.1.6; 2.12; 7.36; 10.19). The tribe's territory was located within the boundaries of Judah in the Negev (Jos.19.1,9; Jdg.1.3,17). ¶In later history, some from the tribe of Simeon migrated to Edom during the reign of Hezekiah (1Ch.4.42-43). The tribe is mentioned in the visions of Ezekiel (Ezk.48.24,25,33) and in the list of the sealed from the twelve tribes in Revelation (Rev.7.7). ========== PERSON(s) Simeon@Luk.2.25-=G4826G Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Luk.2.25;

He was eagerly waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would not die before seeing the Lord's Christ. When Mary and Joseph brought the infant Jesus to the temple for the purification rites according to the Law of Moses, Simeon, guided by the Spirit, took Jesus in his arms and praised God. He declared that he could now depart in peace, having seen God's salvation, which was prepared for all people - a light for revelation to the Gentiles and glory to Israel. Simeon then blessed Mary and Joseph and prophesied to Mary that her child would cause the fall and rise of many in Israel and be a sign that would be spoken against, revealing the thoughts of many hearts. He also foretold that a sword would pierce Mary's own soul, foreshadowing the pain she would experience witnessing her son's suffering and death. ========== PERSON(s) Simeon@Luk.3.30=G4826H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Judah@Luk.3.30 + Levi@Luk.3.29 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at Luk.3.30;

He is listed as the son of Judah and the father of Levi. This genealogy, which traces Jesus' lineage back to Adam, is unique to the Gospel of Luke and differs from the genealogy found in the Gospel of Matthew. The inclusion of Simeon in this genealogy highlights the connection between Jesus and the patriarchs of Israel, emphasizing his Jewish heritage and his role as the fulfillment of God's promises to his people. ========== PERSON(s) Simon@Act.8.13-=G4613N Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.8.13;

As a tanner, Simon worked with animal hides to produce leather, a profession that was considered unclean by Jewish religious standards. Despite this, Peter stayed with Simon for many days, indicating a growing openness in the early church to interact with Gentiles and those considered unclean. During his stay at Simon's house, Peter received a vision from God in which he was told not to call anything impure that God has made clean (Act.10.9-16). This vision prepared Peter for his encounter with Cornelius, a Gentile centurion, whom God had directed to send for Peter (Act.10.17-33). Peter's time at Simon the tanner's house marks a significant shift in the early church's understanding of the gospel's inclusivity and the breaking down of barriers between Jews and Gentiles. ========== PERSON(s) Simon@Act.8.9-=G4613M Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.8.9;

When Philip came to Samaria preaching the gospel, Simon believed and was baptized along with many others (Act.8.13). However, when the apostles Peter and John arrived and laid hands on the believers to receive the Holy Spirit, Simon offered them money, wanting to buy the power to impart the Holy Spirit to others (Act.8.18-19). Peter sternly rebuked Simon for his attempt to purchase God's gift with money, telling him to repent of his wickedness and pray for forgiveness (Act.8.20-23). Simon, frightened by Peter's words, asked the apostles to pray for him (Act.8.24). This account serves as a warning against the sin of simony (attempting to buy or sell spiritual gifts or offices) and emphasizes that God's gifts cannot be obtained through material means but are freely given by His grace. ========== PERSON(s) Simon@Jhn.6.71-=G4613L Man living at the time of the New Testament + Judas@Mat.10.4-Act > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Jhn.6.71;

He is not to be confused with Simon Peter or any other Simon mentioned in the New Testament. The only information provided about this Simon is his relationship to Judas Iscariot, the disciple who betrayed Jesus. The gospels do not give any further details about Simon's life, occupation, or character. His son, Judas Iscariot, is infamous for his betrayal of Jesus, which led to Jesus' arrest and crucifixion. Despite being one of the twelve chosen disciples, Judas conspired with the Jewish authorities to hand Jesus over to them for thirty pieces of silver (Mat.26.14-16). Simon's role in the biblical narrative is limited to being the father of the disciple who betrayed Jesus, highlighting the tragic choice made by Judas Iscariot. ========== PERSON(s) Simon@Mat.10.4-Act=G4613G Apostle living at the time of the New Testament + > #An apostle living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Mat.10.4;

The title "Zealot" likely indicates that Simon belonged to a Jewish political faction known for its fierce nationalism and opposition to Roman rule before following Jesus. ¶After Jesus' ascension, Simon the Zealot is mentioned as being among the apostles who gathered in the upper room in Jerusalem to pray and await the coming of the Holy Spirit (Act.1.13). ¶Beyond these brief mentions, no further details about Simon the Zealot's life or ministry are provided in the New Testament. Church tradition holds that he preached the gospel in various regions, possibly including Egypt, North Africa, and Persia, before being martyred for his faith, though the accounts vary. ========== PERSON(s) Simon@Mat.13.55-Mrk=G4613H Man living at the time of the New Testament Joseph@Mat.1.16-Jhn + Mary@Mat.1.16-Act Jesus@Isa.7.14-Rev, James@Mat.13.55-Jud, Joses@Mat.13.55-Mrk, Jude@Mat.13.55-Jud Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Mat.13.55;

He was a son of Mary and Joseph and grew up in Nazareth with Jesus and his other siblings. ¶The gospels do not provide any further details about Simon's life or his relationship with Jesus during his earthly ministry. However, it is noted that Jesus' brothers did not believe in him initially (Jhn.7.5). ¶After Jesus' resurrection and ascension, his brothers, including Simon, are mentioned as being part of the early Christian community in Jerusalem, joining the apostles in prayer (Act.1.14). This suggests that Simon, along with his brothers, came to faith in Jesus as the Messiah and became involved in the early church. ========== PERSON(s) Simon@Mat.26.6-Luk=G4613I Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Mat.26.6;

The Gospel of Luke also mentions a similar event, but the host is called Simon the Pharisee (Luk.7.40,43,44). ¶During the meal at Simon's house, a woman (identified as Mary of Bethany in Jhn.12.1-8) brought an alabaster jar of expensive perfume and anointed Jesus' head and feet. The disciples, particularly Judas Iscariot, criticized this act as wasteful, but Jesus defended the woman, saying that she had done a beautiful thing in preparing his body for burial. ¶The title "the leper" suggests that Simon had been afflicted with leprosy at some point, but it is not clear whether he was still suffering from the disease at the time of this event. Leprosy was a highly stigmatized condition in ancient times, and people with leprosy were often isolated from society. Simon's hosting of Jesus and the other guests in his home may indicate that he had been healed of his leprosy, possibly by Jesus himself. ========== PERSON(s) Simon@Mat.27.32-Luk=G4613J Man living at the time of the New Testament + Alexander@Mrk.15.21, Rufus@Mrk.15.21 > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Mat.27.32;

Cyrene was a city in modern-day Libya, North Africa, indicating that Simon may have been a visitor to Jerusalem, possibly for the Passover festival. ¶The gospels record that as Jesus was being led out of the city to be crucified, he was weakened by the torture and beatings he had endured. The Roman soldiers seized Simon, who was passing by on his way in from the country, and forced him to carry Jesus' cross behind him. ¶Mark's gospel provides an additional detail, mentioning that Simon was the father of Alexander and Rufus (Mrk.15.21). This suggests that Simon's sons were known to the early Christian community, possibly as believers themselves. ¶Simon's role in carrying Jesus' cross has been seen as a symbolic representation of the Christian call to take up one's cross and follow Christ (Mat.16.24; Luk.9.23). His brief but significant appearance in the gospel narrative has made him a figure of contemplation and veneration in Christian tradition. ========== PERSON(s) Sinites@Gen.10.17-1Ch=H5513 People from Sin(?)

The Sinites were part of the people groups that inhabited the land of Canaan before the Israelites' arrival.

As Canaanites, they were among the people groups that God promised to drive out of the land to give to the Israelites (Exo.23.23; Deu.7.1). The mention of the Sinites in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10) and the genealogy of Chronicles serves to highlight the diverse people groups that descended from Noah's sons and populated the ancient Near East. ========== PERSON(s) Sisera@Ezr.2.53-Neh=H5516H Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.53;

Deborah, a prophetess and judge of Israel, summoned Barak and instructed him to gather an army to fight against Sisera (Jdg.4.4-7). Barak agreed to go only if Deborah accompanied him, to which she consented but prophesied that the honor of the victory would go to a woman (Jdg.4.8-9). In the ensuing battle at Mount Tabor, the Lord routed Sisera's army, and Barak pursued them (Jdg.4.14-16). Sisera fled on foot and sought refuge in the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite (Jdg.4.17). Jael welcomed Sisera and gave him a drink, but while he slept, she drove a tent peg through his temple, killing him (Jdg.4.18-21). The victory song of Deborah and Barak celebrates the defeat of Sisera and the role of Jael in his demise (Jdg.5.24-31). The story of Sisera's defeat is also mentioned in 1Sa.12.9 as an example of God's deliverance of Israel from their oppressors and in Psalm 1Sa.83.9 as a prayer for God to defeat Israel's enemies as He did with Sisera. The account of Sisera's downfall highlights the power of God to deliver His people and the role of women in His plan. ========== PERSON(s) Sismai@1Ch.2.40=H5581 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Eleasah@1Ch.2.39- + Shallum@1Ch.2.40- Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.2.40;

Hoshea, the last king of Israel before the Assyrian conquest, sought to establish an alliance with Egypt to counter the growing threat of Assyria. The biblical text states that Hoshea sent messengers to So, indicating an attempt at diplomatic relations. However, this action was seen as a rebellion against Assyria, to whom Israel was paying tribute. As a result, the Assyrian king Shalmaneser attacked Israel, captured Hoshea, and besieged the capital city of Samaria for three years. The city eventually fell, and the people of Israel were deported to Assyria, marking the end of the northern kingdom of Israel. The identity of So is not certain, but some scholars suggest that he may have been Osorkon IV, a pharaoh of the 22nd Dynasty of Egypt, who ruled from Tanis in the Nile Delta region. ========== PERSON(s) Soco@1Ch.4.18=H7755I Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Heber@1Ch.4.18 + Tribe of Judah(?) #A man from the tribe of Judah(?) living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.4.18;

After the Israelites had left Egypt and were nearing the Promised Land, Moses selected one man from each of the twelve tribes to scout out the land and bring back a report (Num.13.1-2). Gaddiel, son of Sodi, was chosen from the tribe of Zebulun. The spies were instructed to assess the land, its people, and its cities, and to bring back some of the fruit of the land (Num.13.17-20). After forty days, the spies returned with their report, but only Joshua and Caleb gave a positive assessment, while the other ten spies, including Gaddiel, discouraged the people by emphasizing the strength of the inhabitants (Num.13.25-33). As a result, the Israelites rebelled against God and were condemned to wander in the wilderness for forty years (Num.14.26-35). ========== PERSON(s) Solomon@2Sa.5.14-Act=H8010 King living at the time of United Monarchy David@Rut.4.17-Rev + Bathsheba@2Sa.11.3-Psa Amnon@2Sa.3.2-1Ch, Chileab@2Sa.3.3-1Ch, Absalom@2Sa.3.3-Psa, Adonijah@2Sa.3.4-1Ch, Shephatiah@2Sa.3.4-1Ch, Ithream@2Sa.3.5-1Ch, Shammua@2Sa.5.14-1Ch, Shobab@2Sa.5.14-1Ch, Nathan@2Sa.5.14-Luk, Ibhar@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Elishua@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Nepheg@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Japhia@2Sa.5.15-1Ch, Elishama@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Eliada@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Eliphelet@2Sa.5.16-1Ch, Tamar@2Sa.13.1-1Ch, Elpelet@1Ch.3.6-, Nogah@1Ch.3.7-, Jerimoth@2Ch.11.18 daughter_of_Pharaoh@1Ki.3.1, Naamah@1Ki.14.21-2Ch, a_wife_of_Solomon@1Ki.4.11 Taphath@1Ki.4.11, Basemath@1Ki.4.15, Rehoboam@1Ki.11.43-Mat Tribe of Judah #A king of Judah living at the time of United Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Sa.5.14;

As king, Solomon prayed for wisdom to govern his people, and God granted him exceptional wisdom, understanding, and knowledge (1Ki.3.1-15; 2Ch.1.1-12). His wisdom was demonstrated through his fair judgments, such as the famous case of the two women claiming the same baby (1Ki.3.16-28). ¶During his reign, Solomon undertook ambitious construction projects, most notably the building of the First Temple in Jerusalem, which took seven years to complete (1 Kings 6; 2 Chronicles 3-4). He also built a palace for himself, fortified cities, and established a strong military force (1 Kings 7; 1Ki.9.15-19; 10.26-29; 2Ch.8.1-6; 9.25-28). ¶Solomon's reign was marked by prosperity, wealth, and international recognition. He formed alliances with neighboring kingdoms, engaged in extensive trade, and received tribute from foreign rulers (1 Kings 5; 2Ch.9.26-28; 10.1-29; 2Ch.8.17-18; 9.1-28). The Queen of Sheba visited Solomon to test his wisdom and left impressed by his knowledge and the splendor of his court (1Ki.10.1-13; 2Ch.9.1-12). ¶However, Solomon's later years were marked by a decline in his faithfulness to God. He married many foreign women and allowed their religious practices to influence him, leading to the worship of false gods (1Ki.11.1-8). As a result, God declared that the kingdom would be divided after Solomon's death (1Ki.11.9-13). ¶Solomon is traditionally credited with authoring several biblical books, including Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Solomon (Pro.1.1; Ecc.1.1; Sng.1.1). His wisdom and proverbs were widely celebrated and studied (1Ki.4.29-34; Pro.1.1; 10.1; 25.1). ¶After a reign of forty years, Solomon died and was succeeded by his son Rehoboam (1Ki.11.41-43; 2Ch.9.29-31). As prophesied, the kingdom was divided into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah shortly after his death (1 Kings 12; 2 Chronicles 10). ========== PERSON(s) son_of_Jashen@2Sa.23.32=H3464H Warrior living at the time of United Monarchy Jashen@2Sa.23.32-1Ch + > #A warrior living at the time of United Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Sa.23.32;

Sanballat was a prominent adversary of Nehemiah and the governor of Samaria. This marriage alliance between a member of the high priestly family and the daughter of an enemy of Jerusalem was considered a serious violation of the covenant. Nehemiah responded by driving the offending priest away from Jerusalem, demonstrating his commitment to maintaining the purity and integrity of the Jewish community. ========== PERSON(s) Sopater@Act.20.4-Rom=G4986 Man living at the time of the New Testament Pyrrhus@Act.20.4 + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.20.4;

He is first mentioned in Act.20.4 as a Berean who accompanied Paul on his journey from Greece to Jerusalem, along with several others, including Aristarchus, Secundus, Gaius, Timothy, Tychicus, and Trophimus. This journey took place during Paul's third missionary journey, as he was returning to Jerusalem with an offering for the believers there (Act.24.17). ¶Sopater's inclusion in this group suggests that he was a trusted member of the early Christian community and a close associate of Paul. As a Berean, he likely came from the city of Berea (modern-day Veria) in Macedonia, where Paul had previously preached the gospel and found the people to be open-minded and receptive to his message (Act.17.10-12). ¶Later, in Rom.16.21, a Sosipater is mentioned among those sending greetings to the church in Rome, along with Timothy, Lucius, Jason, and others. While it is not explicitly stated, it is likely that this Sosipater is the same person as Sopater from Berea, as both names were used interchangeably in ancient times. ¶The mention of Sopater/Sosipater in these two passages highlights the close-knit nature of the early Christian community and the importance of personal relationships in the spread of the gospel. As a companion of Paul and a member of the delegation carrying the offering to Jerusalem, Sopater played a role in the practical support and unity of the church. ========== PERSON(s) Sophereth@Ezr.2.55-Neh=H5618 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.55;

Solomon's servants were a group of people who were assigned to work for King Solomon and his descendants, possibly as craftsmen, laborers, or officials. ¶The name Sophereth appears in the list of returning exiles in the book of Ezra, while in the parallel passage in Nehemiah, the name is recorded as Hassophereth. This variation may be due to differences in spelling or transcription over time. ¶The descendants of Sophereth are listed among the exiles who returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and Jeshua. ========== PERSON(s) Sosthenes@Act.18.17-1Co=G4988 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.18.17;

In Acts, Sosthenes is identified as the ruler of the synagogue in Corinth during the time when Paul was preaching there. After the proconsul Gallio dismissed the charges brought against Paul by the Jews, the crowd seized Sosthenes and beat him in front of the tribunal. It is not clear whether Sosthenes was targeted because of his position or because he had shown sympathy toward Paul's message. ¶Later, in 1Co.1.1, a Sosthenes is mentioned as a co-sender of Paul's letter to the Corinthian church, along with Paul himself. It is likely, though not certain, that this is the same Sosthenes who was beaten in Corinth. If so, this would indicate that Sosthenes had become a believer and was now working alongside Paul in the ministry. ¶The inclusion of Sosthenes as a co-sender of 1 Corinthians suggests that he was a respected figure in the early church and had a significant role in the Corinthian congregation. His presence in the letter's opening greeting would have lent added authority and credibility to Paul's message. ========== PERSON(s) Sotai@Ezr.2.55-Neh=H5479 Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.2.55;

Solomon's servants were a group of people who were assigned to work for King Solomon and his descendants, possibly as craftsmen, laborers, or officials. ¶The descendants of Sotai are listed among the exiles who returned to Jerusalem under the leadership of Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah, and Jeshua, the high priest. This return took place around 538 BC, after the Persian king Cyrus issued a decree allowing the Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. ¶The mention of Sotai and his descendants in the lists of returning exiles highlights the importance of maintaining family records and genealogies among the Israelites, even during the Babylonian captivity. It also shows that not only the prominent families but also the servants and workers were included in the return to Jerusalem and the rebuilding of the Jewish community. ========== PERSON(s) Stachys@Rom.16.9=G4720 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, only mentioned at Rom.16.9;

Paul refers to Stachys as "my beloved" (Greek: ton agapēton mou), indicating a close personal relationship and affection between the two. ¶The context of this greeting is found in the final chapter of Paul's letter to the Romans, where he extends personal greetings to various members of the church in Rome. This suggests that Stachys was a part of the Christian community in Rome and was known to Paul, either through personal interaction or by reputation. ¶Although no further information is provided about Stachys in the biblical text, his inclusion in Paul's greetings indicates that he was a respected and valued member of the early church. The fact that Paul singles him out as a beloved friend suggests a strong bond of Christian love and fellowship between them. ========== PERSON(s) Stephanas@1Co.1.16-=G4734 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at 1Co.1.16;

He and his household were among the first converts in Achaia (the region of Greece where Corinth was located) and were baptized by Paul himself (1Co.1.16). ¶In 1Co.16.15, Paul commends the household of Stephanas for their dedication to the service of the saints. This suggests that Stephanas and his family were actively involved in ministering to the needs of the believers in Corinth and had distinguished themselves through their devotion and service. ¶Later in the same chapter, Paul mentions that Stephanas, along with Fortunatus and Achaicus, had visited him and provided comfort and encouragement (1Co.16.17-18). Their presence was a source of joy and refreshment for Paul, who was facing challenges and opposition in his ministry. ¶Paul urges the Corinthian church to submit to and acknowledge leaders like Stephanas, who had devoted themselves to the work of the ministry (1Co.16.16). This indicates that Stephanas was a respected leader in the Corinthian church, known for his service and commitment to the gospel. ¶Overall, Stephanas emerges as an exemplary member of the early church, whose faith, service, and support were highly valued by Paul and the Corinthian believers. ========== PERSON(s) Stephen@Act.6.5-=G4736 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.6.5;

He is described as being full of faith, wisdom, and the Holy Spirit (Act.6.5, 8). ¶As Stephen continued to perform wonders and signs among the people, he faced opposition from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen, who disputed with him (Act.6.9). However, they could not withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke (Act.6.10). ¶Consequently, they brought false charges against Stephen, accusing him of blasphemy against Moses and God (Act.6.11-14). When brought before the Sanhedrin (the Jewish high court), Stephen's face was said to have appeared like the face of an angel (Act.6.15). ¶In his defense, Stephen delivered a powerful speech recounting Israel's history and their rejection of God's prophets, culminating in their rejection of Jesus as the Righteous One (Act.7.1-53). He accused his hearers of resisting the Holy Spirit and persecuting the prophets, just as their fathers had done (Act.7.51-52). ¶Enraged by his words, the members of the Sanhedrin gnashed their teeth at Stephen, but he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God (Act.7.54-55). When he declared this vision, they dragged him out of the city and stoned him to death, with a young man named Saul (later known as Paul) guarding the garments of those who carried out the execution (Act.7.56-60). ¶As he was being stoned, Stephen called out to the Lord Jesus to receive his spirit and, echoing Jesus' words on the cross, asked God not to hold this sin against his persecutors (Act.7.59-60). Devout men buried Stephen and lamented deeply over him (Act.8.2). ¶Stephen's martyrdom marked a significant turning point in the early church, as it sparked a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, leading to the dispersion of believers throughout Judea and Samaria (Act.8.1, 11:19). This dispersion ultimately led to the spread of the gospel beyond Jerusalem, fulfilling Jesus' command to be his witnesses to the ends of the earth (Act.1.8). ========== PERSON(s) Suah@1Ch.7.36=H5477 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Zophah@1Ch.7.35- + Harnepher@1Ch.7.36, Shual@1Ch.7.36-, Beri@1Ch.7.36, Imrah@1Ch.7.36, Bezer@1Ch.7.37, Hod@1Ch.7.37, Shamma@1Ch.7.37, Shilshah@1Ch.7.37, Ithran@1Ch.7.37-, Beera@1Ch.7.37 Tribe of Asher #A man from the tribe of Asher living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.7.36;

This decree was intended to discourage other women in the kingdom from defying their husbands' authority. ¶Apart from his role as one of the seven princes and his involvement in advising the king regarding Vashti's disobedience, no other information is provided about Tarshish's personal life, background, or subsequent actions in the book of Esther. ========== PERSON(s) Tarshish@Gen.10.4-1Ch=H8659G Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Javan@Gen.10.2-Col + Elishah@Gen.10.4-1Ch, Kittim@Gen.10.4-1Ch, Dodanim@Gen.10.4-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man of the Greeks living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.4;

Jewish tradition portrays Terah as an idolater who turned to God.

However, he was killed, and his followers were dispersed, resulting in the failure of his movement. Gamaliel used Theudas and another rebel named Judas the Galilean as cautionary examples to dissuade the Jewish council from persecuting the apostles.

Thomas is best known for his doubt about Jesus' resurrection, earning him the nickname "Doubting Thomas." When Jesus appeared to the disciples after his resurrection, Thomas was absent and refused to believe unless he could see and touch Jesus' wounds (Jhn.20.24-25). A week later, Jesus appeared again, inviting Thomas to touch his wounds. Thomas then confessed, "My Lord and my God!" (Jhn.20.26-28). Jesus praised those who believe without seeing (Jhn.20.29). Thomas also showed devotion to Jesus, willing to die with him (Jhn.11.16) and asking questions during the Last Supper (Jhn.14.5). According to tradition, Thomas later preached the gospel in India, where he was martyred. His initial doubt and later confession serve as an encouragement for believers who struggle with doubts. ========== PERSON(s) Tiberius@Mat.22.17-Jhn=G5086 Emperor living at the time of the New Testament + > #An emperor of Rome living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at Mat.22.17;

Tiberius ruled from 14 to 37 AD, succeeding Augustus. His reign provided the historical and political context for the events of the New Testament. In Luk.3.1, Tiberius is mentioned to date the beginning of John the Baptist's ministry. The Gospels also record Jesus' response to the question of paying taxes to Caesar (Tiberius), affirming the legitimacy of secular authority while prioritizing obedience to God (Mat.22.17-21; Mrk.12.14-17; Luk.20.22-25). During Jesus' trial, the Jewish leaders accused him of opposing payment of taxes to Caesar and claiming to be a king, which Pontius Pilate recognized as a challenge to Tiberius' authority (Luk.23.2; Jhn.19.12,15). Tiberius' reign was marked by growing unrest in Judea, leading to the appointment of Pontius Pilate as governor. The New Testament portrays Tiberius as the embodiment of secular power, contrasting with Jesus' spiritual authority. ========== PERSON(s) Tibni@1Ki.16.21-=H8402 Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Ginath@1Ki.16.21- + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ki.16.21;

The name "Tidal" is of uncertain origin, and "Goiim" may refer to a region or a group of people. In the biblical account, Tidal and his allies engaged in a military campaign in Canaan, ultimately defeating the five kings and taking captives, including Abraham's nephew Lot. In response, Abraham and his 318 trained men pursued the victorious kings, defeated them, and rescued Lot and the other captives (Gen.14.14-16).

Tiglath-pileser's reign marked the beginning of the Neo-Assyrian Empire's expansion and dominance in the ancient Near East. He is known for his military conquests and political reforms. In the biblical account, Tiglath-pileser received tribute from King Menahem of Israel (2Ki.15.19) and later conquered parts of Israel, including Gilead, Galilee, and Naphtali, deporting the inhabitants to Assyria (2Ki.15.29; 1Ch.5.26). King Ahaz of Judah sought Tiglath-pileser's help against the kings of Israel and Syria, but this alliance ultimately led to Judah's subjugation and religious compromises (2Ki.16.7-10; 2Ch.28.20). The prophet Hosea denounced Israel's reliance on Assyria, symbolized by Tiglath-pileser, as futile and contrary to trust in God (Hos.5.13; 10.6). Tiglath-pileser's reign marked a significant turning point in the history of Israel and Judah, as the Assyrian Empire's expansion posed an increasing threat to their sovereignty and independence. ========== PERSON(s) Tikvah@2Ki.22.14-2Ch=H8616G Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Harhas@2Ki.22.14-2Ch + Shallum@2Ki.22.14-2Ch > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.22.14;

When asked what he wanted, Bartimaeus replied, "Rabbi, I want to see." Jesus then healed him, saying, "Go, your faith has healed you." Immediately, Bartimaeus received his sight and followed Jesus. ========== PERSON(s) Timna@Gen.36.12-1Ch=H8555 Woman living at the time of the Patriarchs Seir@Gen.36.20-1Ch + Lotan@Gen.36.20-1Ch, Shobal@Gen.36.20-1Ch, Zibeon@Gen.36.2-1Ch, Dishon@Gen.36.21-1Ch, Ezer@Gen.36.21-1Ch, Dishan@Gen.36.21-1Ch Eliphaz@Gen.36.4-1Ch Amalek@Gen.36.12- Edom #A concubine living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.36.12;

As the church grew, there was a complaint that these widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. The apostles asked the believers to choose seven men known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom to oversee this task.

He is mentioned frequently in the New Testament, both in the book of Acts and in Paul's epistles. Timothy was from Lystra, the son of a Greek father and a Jewish mother named Eunice (Act.16.1). He was well-respected by the believers in his hometown and in Iconium (Act.16.2). Paul invited Timothy to join him on his missionary journeys, and he became a valuable assistant and co-worker (Act.16.3; 17.14-15; 18.5; 19.22; 20.4). Paul referred to Timothy as his "true son in the faith" (1Ti.1.2) and sent him on important missions to churches in Macedonia, Achaia, and Ephesus (Act.19.22; 1Co.4.17; 16.10; Php.2.19). Timothy was with Paul during his first Roman imprisonment and is named as a co-sender of several of Paul's letters (Php.1.1; Col.1.1; Phm.1.1). Paul also wrote two personal letters to Timothy, providing guidance and encouragement for his pastoral ministry (1Ti.1.2; 2Ti.1.2). These letters, along with the letter to Titus, are known as the Pastoral Epistles. According to Heb.13.23, Timothy was imprisoned at some point but later released. Tradition holds that Timothy served as the bishop of Ephesus in his later years. Timothy's life and ministry exemplify the importance of mentoring, discipleship, and faithful service in the early church. ========== PERSON(s) Tiras@Gen.10.2-1Ch=H8494 Man living at the time of the Patriarchs Japheth@Gen.5.32-1Ch + Gomer@Gen.10.2-Ezk, Magog@Gen.10.2-1Ch, Madai@Gen.10.2-1Ch, Javan@Gen.10.2-Col, Tubal@Gen.10.2-1Ch, Meshech@Gen.10.2-1Ch Early Patriarch #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.10.2;

Japheth was one of the three sons of Noah, and his descendants are listed in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10), which traces the spread of the nations after the flood. The descendants of Japheth are generally associated with the peoples of Europe and Asia Minor. No specific details are provided about Tiras or his descendants, but some ancient historians and Jewish traditions have attempted to identify them with various ethnic groups, such as the Thracians or the Etruscans. However, these identifications remain speculative and cannot be confirmed from the biblical text alone. ========== PERSON(s) Tirhakah@2Ki.19.9-Isa=H8640 King living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Cush #A king of Cush living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 2Ki.19.9;

He is mentioned as coming to the aid of King Hezekiah, who was under attack by Sennacherib. Tirhakah was the fourth pharaoh of the Twenty-Fifth (Ethiopian) Dynasty of Egypt, ruling from approximately 690 to 664 BC. There is a chronological difficulty in the biblical account, as the events described are believed to have taken place around 701 BC, before Tirhakah's ascension to the throne. Some scholars suggest that Tirhakah may have been acting as a military commander under his predecessor, Pharaoh Shabaka, or that the biblical authors may have combined accounts of two separate campaigns by Sennacherib. Assyrian records also mention Tirhakah's conflict with the Assyrians. Tirhakah's successful opposition to Assyria is recorded on the walls of a temple at Medinet Habu in Egypt. ========== PERSON(s) Tirhanah@1Ch.2.48=H8647 Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Caleb@1Ch.2.9- + Maacah@1Ch.2.48 Hur@Exo.17.10-2Ch, Jesher@1Ch.2.18, Shobab@1Ch.2.18, Ardon@1Ch.2.18, Mesha@1Ch.2.42, Haran@1Ch.2.46, Moza@1Ch.2.46, Gazez@1Ch.2.46a, Sheber@1Ch.2.48, Regem@1Ch.2.47, Jotham@1Ch.2.47, Geshan@1Ch.2.47, Pelet@1Ch.2.47, Ephah@1Ch.2.47, Shaaph@1Ch.2.47, Shaaph@1Ch.2.49, Sheva@1Ch.2.49, Achsah@1Ch.2.49 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at 1Ch.2.48;

Zelophehad had no sons, and his daughters (Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah) approached Moses, Eleazar the priest, and the leaders of Israel to seek the right to inherit their father's property. Moses brought their case before the Lord, who instructed him to grant the daughters the right to inherit their father's property in the absence of male heirs (Num.27.1-11). This ruling set a precedent for inheritance rights in Israel. Later, when the Israelites were preparing to enter the Promised Land, the heads of the clan of Manasseh raised concerns about the potential loss of tribal land if the daughters were to marry outside their tribe. In response, the Lord commanded that the daughters of Zelophehad must marry within their father's tribal clan to keep the inheritance within the tribe (Num.36.1-12). Tirzah and her sisters complied with this ruling (Num.36.11). The story of Tirzah and her sisters highlights the importance of inheritance rights and the preservation of tribal allotments in ancient Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Titus@2Co.2.13-Tit=G5103 Man living at the time of the New Testament + > #A man living at the time of the New Testament, first mentioned at 2Co.2.13;

He is mentioned several times in Paul's epistles, particularly in 2 Corinthians and the letter addressed to him, the Epistle to Titus. Titus was one of Paul's trusted delegates and was involved in his ministry to the churches. Paul refers to Titus as his "true son in the faith" (Tit.1.4), indicating a close spiritual relationship. Titus accompanied Paul to Jerusalem for the council that discussed the inclusion of Gentiles in the church (Gal.2.1-3). He was not compelled to be circumcised, which supported Paul's stance that Gentile converts did not need to adhere to Jewish law. Titus played a significant role in Paul's relationship with the church in Corinth. He was sent by Paul to Corinth to address issues within the church and to encourage the believers (2Co.7.6-7, 13-14; 8.6, 16, 23). Titus' visit brought comfort and reassurance to Paul regarding the Corinthians' response to his earlier letter. Paul also entrusted Titus with the task of collecting an offering for the believers in Jerusalem (2Co.8.6, 16-24). The Epistle to Titus, written by Paul, provides insight into Titus' role as a church leader. Paul had left Titus in Crete to oversee the churches there, appointing elders and dealing with false teachers (Tit.1.5). The letter offers guidance on sound doctrine, qualifications for church leaders, and the importance of good works. According to 2Ti.4.10, Titus later traveled to Dalmatia (modern-day Croatia). Church tradition holds that Titus served as the first bishop of Crete. Titus' life exemplifies the important role that Gentile converts played in the early church and the trust Paul placed in them as fellow ministers of the gospel. ========== PERSON(s) Tizites@1Ch.11.45=H8491 Warriors from or of Tiz(?) + > #A group of warriors from Tiz(?), only mentioned at 1Ch.11.45;

As a result, they were considered unclean and disqualified from serving as priests.

Along with Sanballat the Horonite and Geshem the Arab, Tobiah mocked and threatened Nehemiah and the Jews, trying to discourage and intimidate them from completing the work. Tobiah had close ties with some of the Jewish nobles, who kept him informed about Nehemiah's activities (Neh.6.17-19).

Upon Ahaz's return, the king made offerings on the new altar and modified the temple's ritual to accommodate it, displacing the bronze altar prescribed by God. Uriah's compliance with the king's orders, despite their departure from proper worship, reflects the religious compromise and syncretism that characterized Ahaz's reign.

He was married to Bathsheba, with whom David committed adultery while Uriah was away fighting in battle. When Bathsheba became pregnant, David attempted to cover up his sin by summoning Uriah back from the battle and encouraging him to sleep with his wife. However, Uriah's loyalty and sense of duty prevented him from enjoying the comforts of home while his fellow soldiers were in battle. David then sent Uriah back to the front lines with a letter instructing the commander, Joab, to place Uriah in the fiercest part of the battle and then withdraw, ensuring his death. After Uriah's death, David took Bathsheba as his wife, but the Lord was displeased with David's actions. The prophet Nathan confronted David about his sin, and David faced severe consequences, including the death of the child conceived through adultery. Uriah's loyalty and righteousness stand in stark contrast to David's abuse of power and moral failure, serving as a reminder of the importance of integrity and the consequences of sin. ========== PERSON(s) Uriah@Ezr.8.33-Neh=H0223H Man living at the time of Exile and Return Hakkoz@Neh.3.4- + Meremoth@Ezr.8.33-Neh > #A priest living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at Ezr.8.33;

God raised up Gideon to deliver Israel from the Midianites. After a decisive victory, Zebah and Zalmunna fled with a remnant of their army, but Gideon pursued them across the Jordan River and overtook them at Karkor. The kings were captured and brought back to Israel, where they confessed to killing Gideon's brothers. As a result, Gideon executed them.

He was born in Paddan-aram, and his name is derived from the Hebrew word meaning "honor" or "dwelling." The tribe of Zebulun played a significant role in Israel's history, being one of the twelve tribes that settled in the Promised Land. During the wilderness wanderings, the tribe of Zebulun was led by Eliab, son of Helon, and was positioned with the tribes of Judah and Issachar on the east side of the tabernacle. In the census taken in the wilderness, the tribe of Zebulun numbered 57,400 men of fighting age. ¶The territory allotted to Zebulun was in the northern part of Canaan, bordered by Asher, Naphtali, and Issachar. It included the fertile plain of Jezreel and the coastal region along the Mediterranean Sea. The tribe of Zebulun was commended for their bravery and willingness to fight, as evidenced by their participation in the battles against Sisera and the Midianites. They were also known for their maritime skills and engaged in trade and commerce. ¶Notable members of the tribe of Zebulun include Elon, who judged Israel for ten years, and Ibzan of Bethlehem, who was buried in the territory of Zebulun. The prophet Jonah also hailed from Gath-hepher, a town within Zebulun's borders. ¶In the future distribution of the land described by Ezekiel, Zebulun is allocated a portion in the far north of Israel, with its boundaries stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. The tribe of Zebulun is also mentioned in the book of Revelation as one of the twelve tribes sealed by God. ========== PERSON(s) Zechariah@1Ch.24.25=H2148E Levite living at the time of Divided Monarchy Isshiah@1Ch.23.20- + Tribe of Levi #A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.24.25;

His inclusion in the genealogy serves to establish the lineage of King Hezekiah and to highlight the importance of family records in the biblical narrative. ¶The fact that Zechariah is mentioned by name suggests that he may have been a person of some significance or from a notable family. However, without additional details, it is difficult to make any definitive statements about his life or character. ¶The mention of Zechariah in the genealogy of Hezekiah also underscores the interconnectedness of the royal families and the significance of marital alliances in the history of Judah. Hezekiah's mother, Abijah, would have played a crucial role in his upbringing and in shaping his character as a king who sought to restore proper worship and obedience to God in Judah. ========== PERSON(s) Zechariah@Ezr.10.26=H2148T Man living at the time of Exile and Return + > #A man living at the time of Exile and Return, only mentioned at Ezr.10.26;

During this time, an angel of the Lord appeared to him and announced that his prayer had been heard, and that Elizabeth would bear a son named John. Zechariah doubted the message due to their old age, and as a result, he was struck mute until the birth of his son. ¶When Elizabeth gave birth, Zechariah confirmed that the child's name should be John, as the angel had instructed. Upon doing so, his speech was restored, and he was filled with the Holy Spirit, prophesying about the role his son would play in preparing the way for the Messiah. ¶Zechariah's prophecy, known as the Benedictus, speaks of God's mercy and the coming of the Messiah, who would bring salvation and deliverance to His people.

He was the son of Josiah and the uncle of Jehoiachin. Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, appointed him as a vassal king after deporting Jehoiachin. Zedekiah reigned for 11 years, but he did evil in the sight of the Lord. Despite the warnings of the prophet Jeremiah, Zedekiah rebelled against Babylon, leading to the siege and destruction of Jerusalem. During the siege, Zedekiah sought counsel from Jeremiah but did not heed his advice to surrender. When the city fell, Zedekiah attempted to flee but was captured. His sons were killed before his eyes, and then he was blinded and taken to Babylon in chains. Zedekiah's reign ended in tragedy, marking the fall of the kingdom of Judah and the beginning of the Babylonian exile. ========== PERSON(s) Zedekiah@Jer.29.21-=H6667K Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Maaseiah@Jer.29.21 + > #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at Jer.29.21;

Jeremiah sternly rebuked them, not only for their false and reckless predictions but also for their immoral and adulterous lives. He declared that their fate at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar would become proverbial in Israel, with people using their names as a curse, saying, "May the Lord make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire."

He had five daughters - Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah - but no sons. After the census in the wilderness, Zelophehad's daughters came before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the leaders, and the congregation, asking for a possession among their father's brothers, since Zelophehad had died without a male heir. Moses brought their case before the Lord, who commanded that the daughters be given their father's inheritance. This ruling set a precedent for cases where a man died without a son. Later, when the Israelites were preparing to enter Canaan, the heads of the fathers' houses of Manasseh raised a concern that if Zelophehad's daughters married outside their tribe, their inheritance would be lost to the tribe. Moses then commanded that they could marry whom they thought best, but only within their father's tribal clan, to keep the inheritance within the tribe. Zelophehad's daughters did as the Lord commanded and married sons of their father's brothers. This event is significant in establishing the rights of inheritance for women in ancient Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Zemarites@Gen.10.18-1Ch=H6786 People from Zemar(?)

Zerah's descendants are mentioned in various genealogies throughout the Old Testament. Most notably, Achan, the man who sinned by taking the devoted things during the conquest of Jericho, was from the tribe of Judah and the family of Zerah. The descendants of Zerah are also mentioned among those who lived in Jerusalem after the exile. In 1 Chronicles 27, it is recorded that Shamhuth, from the clan of Zerah, was in charge of the fifth division of David's army.
His descendants the Izrahites or Ezrahites included very wise men (1Ki.4.31). Ethan is also credited with composing Psalm 89 (Psalm 1Ki.89.1). Another notable Ezrahite was Heman, who was a singer and musician in the time of David and is mentioned as the author of Psalm 88 (Psalm 1Ki.88.1; 1Ch.6.33).
Zerah is also included in the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1, highlighting his significance in the lineage of the Messiah. ========== PERSON(s) Zerah@Gen.46.10-1Ch=H2226L Man living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Simeon@Gen.29.33-Rev + a_wife_of_Simeon@Gen.46.10 Jemuel@Gen.46.10-1Ch, Jamin@Gen.46.10-1Ch, Ohad@Gen.46.10-Exo, Jachin@Gen.46.10-1Ch, Shaul@Gen.46.10-1Ch Tribe of Simeon #A man from the tribe of Simeon living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Gen.46.10;

The Zerahites are also mentioned in the story of Achan (Jos.7.17), who was from the tribe of Judah but was identified as a descendant of Zerah.

This plan reveals Zeresh's support for her husband's evil schemes and her own animosity towards the Jews. However, after Haman was humiliated by having to honor Mordecai, Zeresh and his wise men predicted Haman's downfall, stating that he could not prevail against Mordecai if he was of Jewish descent. Zeresh's words proved true, as Haman was ultimately hanged on the very gallows he had prepared for Mordecai.

This Zerubbabel is likely the same person as the prominent figure who led the first group of exiles back to Jerusalem from Babylon and oversaw the rebuilding of the temple in the 6th century BC.

Her sons played significant roles throughout David's reign, both in military campaigns and in political matters. Joab served as the commander of David's army, while Abishai and Asahel were also known for their bravery and skill in battle. Zeruiah's sons were fiercely loyal to David, though their actions sometimes brought them into conflict with the king. For example, Joab murdered Abner and Amasa, two of David's rivals, without the king's consent. Despite these tensions, David recognized the importance of Zeruiah's sons in establishing and maintaining his kingdom. The fact that Zeruiah is consistently mentioned as their mother highlights her significance in the family and her influence on her sons' roles in David's court. ========== PERSON(s) Zetham@1Ch.23.8-=H2241 Levite living at the time of Divided Monarchy Libni@Exo.6.17-1Ch(?) + Jehiel@1Ch.6.20-, Joel@1Ch.23.8- Tribe of Levi #A man living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.23.8;

In the story, King Ahasuerus commanded these seven eunuchs to bring Queen Vashti before him during a royal feast, so that he could display her beauty to the guests. This incident led to Vashti's refusal and subsequent removal as queen, setting the stage for Esther to become the new queen.

He first appears in the narrative when David inquires about any remaining members of Saul's family to whom he can show kindness. Ziba informs David about Mephibosheth, Jonathan's son, who was lame in both feet. David grants Mephibosheth all of Saul's land and appoints Ziba, along with his fifteen sons and twenty servants, to manage the property on Mephibosheth's behalf. Later, during Absalom's rebellion, Ziba meets David with supplies and falsely claims that Mephibosheth had hoped to regain the kingdom. David then grants Ziba all of Mephibosheth's possessions. After Absalom's death, when David returns to Jerusalem, Mephibosheth explains that Ziba had deceived him, and David divides the land between Ziba and Mephibosheth. Ziba's actions throughout the story suggest that he was an opportunist seeking to gain favor and wealth through his service to the king. ========== PERSON(s) Zibeon@Gen.36.2-1Ch=H6649 Edomite living at the time of the Patriarchs Seir@Gen.36.20-1Ch + Timna@Gen.36.12-1Ch, Lotan@Gen.36.20-1Ch, Shobal@Gen.36.20-1Ch, Dishon@Gen.36.21-1Ch, Ezer@Gen.36.21-1Ch, Dishan@Gen.36.21-1Ch Anah@Gen.36.2-1Ch, Aiah@Gen.36.24-1Ch Edom #A man living at the time of the Patriarchs, first mentioned at Gen.36.2;

This marriage is significant because it shows the intermarriage between the Israelites and the Canaanite tribes, such as the Hivites.

Zibiah is mentioned only in connection with her son's accession to the throne, and no other details about her life are provided in the Bible. The fact that she was from Beersheba suggests that the king of Judah may have been seeking to consolidate control over the southern region through this marriage alliance. Zibiah's name means "gazelle" in Hebrew, which may have been a reference to her beauty or grace.

The Levites were essential in maintaining the proper order and conduct of worship in the rebuilt temple. ========== PERSON(s) Zichri@2Ch.17.16=H2147N Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Amasiah@2Ch.17.16 > #A warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ch.17.16;

He is described as a mighty man of valor who willingly offered himself to serve the Lord and the king. Zichri commanded a force of 200,000 soldiers, which demonstrates the significant military strength of Judah during Jehoshaphat's reign. The passage in 2 Chronicles 17 highlights Jehoshaphat's efforts to strengthen his kingdom and his commitment to following the Lord.

Athaliah had usurped the throne and promoted the worship of Baal. Jehoiada, with the support of military leaders like Elishaphat, organized a coup to remove Athaliah and reinstate the Davidic line. The mention of Zichri as Elishaphat's father suggests that he may have held a position of influence or leadership, which his son then followed. The successful overthrow of Athaliah and the restoration of the temple worship marked a significant moment in Judah's history, and Zichri's family played a role in this important event. ========== PERSON(s) Zichri@2Ch.28.7=H2147P Warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy + Tribe of Ephraim #A warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 2Ch.28.7;

He is mentioned in the context of a war between Israel and Judah, in which the Israelites defeated Judah and captured many prisoners. Zichri is described as a mighty warrior who killed three significant figures in Judah's royal court: Maaseiah, the king's son; Ahaziah, the governor of the palace; and Elkanah, who was second to the king. The fact that Zichri was able to kill these high-ranking officials suggests that he was a skilled and formidable warrior. His actions likely contributed to the defeat and humiliation of Judah in this conflict. The passage in 2 Chronicles 28 highlights the consequences of Ahaz's unfaithfulness to God and the resulting military defeats suffered by Judah. ========== PERSON(s) Zichri@Exo.6.21=H2147G Levite living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Izhar@Exo.6.18-1Ch + Korah@Exo.6.21-Jud, Nepheg@Exo.6.21, Shelomith@1Ch.23.18- Tribe of Levi #A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, only mentioned at Exo.6.21;

They are mentioned in the lists of returnees in both Ezra 2 and Nehemiah 7. The Nethinim were a group of people who were assigned to assist the Levites in the maintenance and service of the temple. The name "Nethinim" means "given ones" or "dedicated ones," indicating their special role in supporting the temple worship. The fact that the family of Ziha is specifically named in these lists suggests that they were a significant group among the temple servants.

The passage specifies that the temple servants lived on the Ophel, which was a hill located near the temple mount in Jerusalem. This suggests that the Nethinim, including the family of Ziha, were given living quarters in close proximity to the temple, allowing them to easily carry out their duties in assisting the Levites. The chapter provides a list of the residents of Jerusalem, including various officials, leaders, and groups responsible for maintaining the city and the temple. The mention of the temple servants and their location on the Ophel underscores their important role in supporting the temple worship and the religious life of the community. ========== PERSON(s) Zillah@Gen.4.19-=H6741 Woman living at the time before the Flood + Lamech@Gen.4.18- Tubal-cain@Gen.4.22, Naamah@Gen.4.22 > #A woman living at the time before the Flood, first mentioned at Gen.4.19;

She was the mother of Tubal-Cain, who is described as the first metalworker, and of a daughter named Naamah. Zillah and her co-wife Adah are significant because their children represent the development of important aspects of human civilization, such as animal husbandry, music, and metalworking. The mention of Lamech's wives by name is unusual in the genealogies of Genesis, which typically only list male names. This suggests that Zillah and Adah played a notable role in the advancement of human society. Some scholars see the names of Lamech's wives as symbolic, with Zillah meaning "shade" or "protection," possibly representing the transition to a more settled way of life. The story of Lamech and his wives is part of the larger narrative of the early chapters of Genesis, which trace the development of human civilization from the creation of Adam and Eve to the time of Noah. ========== PERSON(s) Zillethai@1Ch.12.20=H6769H Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy + > #A warrior living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.12.20;

The chapter lists the warriors from various tribes who allied themselves with David during this time, recognizing him as the future king of Israel. Zillethai is named along with several other Manassite leaders, including Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, and Elihu. These men are described as brave warriors and commanders, indicating that they held positions of leadership within their tribe. The support of these Manassite leaders would have been valuable to David as he gathered allies and built his army in preparation for his eventual reign as king. The fact that Zillethai and the others joined David at Ziklag demonstrates their loyalty and belief in his divine appointment as Israel's future ruler. ========== PERSON(s) Zillethai@1Ch.8.20=H6769G Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shimei@1Ch.8.21 + Jakim@1Ch.8.19, Zichri@1Ch.8.19, Zabdi@1Ch.8.19, Elienai@1Ch.8.20, Eliel@1Ch.8.20, Adaiah@1Ch.8.21, Beraiah@1Ch.8.21, Shimrath@1Ch.8.21 Tribe of Benjamin #A man from the tribe of Benjamin living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.8.20;

She played a significant role in the complex family dynamics of Jacob's household. When Leah realized that she had stopped bearing children, she gave Zilpah to Israel (or 'Jacob') as a concubine, following the custom of the time. Zilpah bore two sons, Gad and Asher, who were counted among the twelve tribes of Israel. The Bible records the births of Gad and Asher in Genesis 30, noting that Leah named them and claimed them as her own sons. Zilpah's sons are later mentioned in the lists of Jacob's descendants, highlighting their status as full members of the Israelite family. The story of Zilpah and her sons is part of the larger narrative of Jacob's family, which is marked by rivalry and conflict between his wives, Leah and Rachel. Despite her status as a maidservant, Zilpah's role in bearing two of Jacob's sons was significant in the growth and development of the Israelite nation. ========== PERSON(s) Zimmah@1Ch.6.20-=H2155G Levite living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shimei@1Ch.6.42- + Shelomoth@1Ch.23.9, Haziel@1Ch.23.9, Haran@1Ch.23.9 Joah@1Ch.6.21- Tribe of Levi #A man from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Divided Monarchy, first mentioned at 1Ch.6.20;

In the organization of the Levitical duties during the time of King David, the Gershonites were given specific roles in the service of the tabernacle and, later, the temple.

In 2 Chronicles 29, Zimmah is mentioned as one of the Levites who participated in the purification and rededication of the temple, which had been neglected during the reign of the previous king, Ahaz. Hezekiah initiated a series of religious reforms, including the cleansing of the temple and the restoration of proper worship practices. Zimmah, along with other Levites from the families of Kohath and Merari, played a role in this important process of spiritual renewal.

The Bible does not provide any further details about Zimran's life or his descendants. However, his mention in the genealogical records of both Genesis and 1 Chronicles suggests that he was a significant figure in the lineage of Abraham. Some scholars believe that the names of Keturah's sons, including Zimran, may represent Arabian tribes or regions, indicating the geographical spread of Abraham's descendants.

He was originally a commander of half of the chariots in the army of Elah, king of Israel. While Elah was drinking himself into a stupor at the house of Arza, his steward, Zimri conspired against him and assassinated him. Zimri then proclaimed himself king and killed all the members of Elah's family, fulfilling the prophecy against the house of Baasha, Elah's father. However, when the army of Israel, which was besieging Gibbethon, heard of Zimri's actions, they proclaimed Omri, the commander of the army, as king. Omri marched to Tirzah, the capital city, and besieged it. When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the king's house and set it on fire, killing himself. Zimri's brief reign was marked by treachery and violence, and he is remembered as one of the wicked kings of Israel.

In Numbers 25, the Israelites began to engage in sexual immorality with the Moabite women and participated in their sacrifices to the Moabite gods. This angered the Lord, and He sent a plague among the Israelites. In the midst of this crisis, Zimri brazenly brought a Midianite woman named Cozbi into his tent in full view of Moses and the congregation. Phinehas, the grandson of Aaron, took a spear and pierced both Zimri and Cozbi through their bodies, thus halting the plague. The Lord commended Phinehas for his zeal and granted him a covenant of perpetual priesthood. The incident with Zimri and Cozbi highlights the dangers of idolatry and the importance of maintaining purity and faithfulness to God. It also demonstrates the role of the priesthood in upholding the holiness of the Israelite community. ========== PERSON(s) Ziph@1Ch.4.16=H2128J Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Jehallelel@1Ch.4.16 + Ziphah@1Ch.4.16, Tiria@1Ch.4.16, Asarel@1Ch.4.16 Tribe of Judah #A man from the tribe of Judah living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.4.16;

He is mentioned several times in the account of Balak's attempts to curse Israel through the prophet Balaam (Numbers 22-24). Zippor's name, which means "bird" or "sparrow," is consistently used in conjunction with Balak's name, emphasizing his role as the king's father. Although little is known about Zippor's life, his son Balak's actions suggest that he may have shared the same hostility towards the Israelites. In Jos.24.9 and Jdg.11.25, Zippor is mentioned in the context of recounting Israel's past conflicts with Moab, further highlighting the significance of his son's opposition to Israel. Some scholars speculate that Zippor may have been the "former king of Moab" mentioned in Num.21.26, but this is not explicitly stated in the text. ========== PERSON(s) Zipporah@Exo.2.21-=H6855 Woman living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness Jethro@Exo.2.18-Num + Hobab@Num.10.29-Jdg Moses@Exo.2.10-Rev Gershom@Exo.2.22-1Ch, Eliezer@Exo.18.4-1Ch Midian #A woman living at the time of Egypt and Wilderness, first mentioned at Exo.2.21;

She first appears in the biblical narrative when Moses fled from Egypt and settled in Midian (Exo.2.21). Zipporah and Moses were married and had two sons, Gershom and Eliezer. In Exo.4.24-26, during Moses' return to Egypt, Zipporah circumcised their son and cast the foreskin at Moses' feet, saying, "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me!" This enigmatic event seems to have resolved a divine threat against Moses' life. Later, when Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt, Zipporah and her sons were sent back to Jethro (Exo.18.2). They were reunited with Moses when Jethro brought them to him in the wilderness (Exo.18.5-6). As the wife of Moses, Zipporah played a significant role in his personal life and, by extension, in the history of Israel. ========== PERSON(s) Ziza@1Ch.4.37=H2124G Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy Shiphi@1Ch.4.37 + Tribe of Simeon #A man from the tribe of Simeon(?) living at the time of Divided Monarchy, only mentioned at 1Ch.4.37;

In 1 Chronicles 23, Zizah is listed among the sons of Shimei, along with his brothers Jahath, Jeush, and Beriah. The passage notes that Jahath was the chief and Zizah was second in rank. However, it also mentions that Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they were counted as a single family. This suggests that the Gershonite families were organized based on the number of male descendants they had.

Abraham approached the Hittites and requested to buy the cave of Machpelah from Ephron, son of Zohar. The Hittites offered to give the land to Abraham for free, but he insisted on paying the full price. Ephron agreed to sell the cave and the field for 400 shekels of silver. Abraham's purchase of this property, which became the burial site for Sarah, Abraham himself, and later the patriarchs and matriarchs, is significant as it represents the first piece of land owned by the Israelites in Canaan.

Along with Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar visited Job after hearing about his affliction (Job.2.11). Zophar is mentioned as the third speaker in the cycles of dialogue between Job and his friends. In his first speech (Job 11), Zophar rebukes Job for justifying himself and accuses him of mocking God. He asserts that God's wisdom is unsearchable and that Job should repent of his supposed sins. In his second speech (Job 20), Zophar describes the fate of the wicked, implying that Job's suffering is a result of his wrongdoing. Zophar's speeches reflect the traditional belief that suffering is a consequence of sin and that righteousness leads to prosperity. However, the book of Job challenges this simplistic view and presents a more complex understanding of God's justice and human suffering. In the end, God rebukes Zophar and his friends for speaking falsely about Him and instructs them to offer sacrifices and seek Job's intercession (Job.42.7-9). ========== PERSON(s) Zorathites@1Ch.2.53-=H6882 People from Shobal(?) + Etam@1Ch.4.3-(f) > #People from Zorath(?), first mentioned at 1Ch.2.53;

It was established in 27 BC and lasted until the reforms of Diocletian in the late 3rd century AD. In the New Testament, Achaia is mentioned primarily in connection with Paul's ministry and the churches he established or visited in the region. ¶Paul spent considerable time in Corinth, the capital of Achaia, on his second missionary journey (Act.18.1-18). It was there that he was brought before the judgment seat of Gallio, the proconsul of Achaia (Act.18.12). Later, Apollos visited Achaia and ministered in Corinth (Act.18.27-19:1). ¶Paul wrote several epistles to churches in Achaia, including 1 and 2 Corinthians, addressed to the church in Corinth, and 1 and 2 Thessalonians to the church in Thessalonica, the capital of neighboring Macedonia. In his epistles, Paul commended the generosity of the churches of Achaia in giving to the collection for the believers in Jerusalem (Romans 15:26, 2Co.9.2) and noted their role in spreading the gospel (1Th.1.7-8). ¶The churches in Achaia faced significant challenges, including divisions, immorality, and false teachings, as addressed in Paul's epistles to them. Nevertheless, Achaia remained an important center of early Christianity, producing influential leaders such as Stephanas (1Co.16.15) and Phoebe (Romans 16:1). $========== PLACE Achor_Valley@Jos.7.24-Hos=H5911 Valley of Achor https://www.google.com/maps/@31.836890,35.399737,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.836890,35.399737 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.7.24;

As a result, the valley was named "Achor," which means "trouble," because Achan had brought trouble upon Israel. The Valley of Achor is also mentioned as a boundary marker for the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:7). ¶In later prophetic writings, the Valley of Achor is used symbolically. Isaiah 65:10 portrays it as a place of rest and abundance for God's people in the future messianic age. Hosea 2:15 describes it as a place of hope and restoration, where God will turn Israel's sorrow into joy, comparing it to a "door of hope." These passages suggest that the Valley of Achor, once a place of judgment and trouble, will become a symbol of God's blessing and redemption for His people. $========== PLACE Achshaph@Jos.11.1-=H0407 Achshaph https://www.google.com/maps/@32.95182083157021,35.17382658065705,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.95182083157021,35.17382658065705 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.11.1;

It is first mentioned in Genesis 38:5 as the place where Judah's son Shelah was born. The town is later listed in the genealogies of Judah (1Ch.4.22). ¶In Micah 1:14, Achzib is mentioned in a prophetic oracle of judgment against Judah, where it is described as a deception to the kings of Israel, possibly implying that the town would fail to provide the expected support or loyalty. The exact location of Achzib is debated, but it is generally identified with the ruins of Tel el-Beida, about 8 miles (13 km) southwest of Beit Gubrin (Eleutheropolis) in the Shephelah. $========== PLACE Achzib@Jos.19.29-Jdg=H0392H Achzib_2 https://www.google.com/maps/@33.04846798541127,35.10220252805766,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.04846798541127,35.10220252805766 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.19.29;

Its location is generally identified with the modern city of Ez-Zib, about 10 miles (16 km) north of Acco (Ptolemais) on the Mediterranean coast of northern Israel. As a coastal settlement, Achzib was likely involved in maritime trade and commerce. The Canaanites' continued presence in Achzib reflects the challenges Israel faced in completely possessing the Promised Land. $========== PLACE Adadah@Jos.15.22=H5735 Adadah https://www.google.com/maps/@31.1858,34.96745,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.1858,34.96745 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.15.22;

Admah, along with Zeboiim, allied with the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah in a rebellion against Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and his allies (Genesis 14:2,8). As a result, Admah and the other cities were defeated and plundered by Chedorlaomer's coalition. ¶Later, Admah was destroyed by God along with Sodom and Gomorrah because of their wickedness (Deu.29.23). The destruction of these cities is held up as an example of God's judgment against sin. The prophet Hosea also refers to Admah and Zeboiim as a warning to Israel, emphasizing the severity of God's potential judgment (Hosea 11:8).

This understanding is based on the usage of the term in ancient sources and the probable route of Paul's ship. ¶The storm that Paul's ship encountered was likely a Euraquilo, a strong northeasterly wind that blows in the Mediterranean during the winter months. The ship was eventually wrecked on the island of Malta (Act.28.1), where Paul and the other survivors were welcomed by the islanders and spent three months before continuing their journey to Rome. The mention of the Adriatic Sea in Acts 27 highlights the dangers and challenges of maritime travel in the ancient world and provides a vivid backdrop for Paul's perilous journey to stand trial before Caesar. $========== PLACE Adullam@Gen.38.1-Mic=H5725 Adullam https://www.google.com/maps/@31.650000,35.000000,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.650000,35.000000 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.12.15;

It was later allotted to the tribe of Judah and listed among the cities in the Shephelah (lowlands) region (Joshua 15:35). During the time of King Saul, David fled from Saul and sought refuge in the cave of Adullam, where he was joined by about 400 men who were in distress, debt, or discontent (1Sa.22.1-2). ¶Later, during the reign of King David, three of his mighty men broke through the Philistine lines to bring him water from the well in Bethlehem, passing by the cave of Adullam (2Sa.23.13-17; 1Ch.11.15-19). King Rehoboam, son of Solomon, fortified Adullam as part of his defensive strategy (2Ch.11.7). After the Babylonian exile, Adullam was among the towns resettled by the people of Judah (Nehemiah 11:30). ¶The prophet Micah used Adullam as a symbol of the degradation and shame that would come upon the nobles of Israel because of their sins (Micah 1:15). In the story of Judah and Tamar, Judah was associated with the town of Adullam, where his friend Hirah lived (Genesis 38:1,12,20).

It is situated on the road that goes up from Jericho to Jerusalem, in the wilderness of Judah. The name Adummim means "red" or "ruddy," possibly referring to the reddish color of the rocks or soil in the area. ¶In both references, Adummim is mentioned as a point along the boundary line between the two tribes, near the Stone of Bohan (son of Reuben) and the Valley of Achor. Its location is generally identified with Tal'at ed-Damm, a steep ascent on the modern Jericho-Jerusalem road, approximately halfway between the two cities.

The exact location of Aenon is uncertain, but scholars have proposed several possible sites in the Jordan Valley, such as Wadi Farah (a perennial stream) or 'Ain Farah (a spring) near the Jordan River. ¶The name Aenon is derived from the Greek word "aenon," meaning "springs" or "fountains," indicating that the site had a plentiful water supply, which was necessary for John's baptismal ministry. The mention of Aenon in the context of John's ministry highlights the importance of baptism and the need for adequate water resources to perform this ritual.

It was located by a river, also called Ahava, which is believed to be a canal or tributary of the Euphrates River. Ezra had sent for Levites and temple servants to join the group of returning exiles, and they gathered at Ahava before setting out on their journey. ¶At Ahava, Ezra proclaimed a fast for the people to humble themselves before God and seek His protection for their journey (Ezra 8:21). After the fast, the exiles set out from Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month and arrived safely in Jerusalem, thanks to the hand of God upon them (Ezra 8:31).

However, the tribe of Asher failed to drive out the Canaanite inhabitants of Ahlab, and as a result, the Canaanites continued to live among them (Judges 1:31). ¶This failure to completely conquer and possess the allotted territory was a common problem for several Israelite tribes during the period of the judges. The continued presence of Canaanites in cities like Ahlab would have exposed the Israelites to the influence of pagan religions and practices, which ultimately led to spiritual decline and disobedience to God.

During the conquest of Canaan, Joshua sent spies to Ai, who reported that the city was small and could be easily defeated (Joshua 7:2-3). However, the Israelites were initially defeated because of Achan's sin (Joshua 7:4-5). ¶After dealing with Achan, Joshua set an ambush and conquered Ai, killing its inhabitants and burning the city (Joshua 8). The king of Ai was hanged, and a heap of stones was raised over his body (Joshua 8:29). The conquest of Ai opened the way for the Israelites to advance into the heart of Canaan (Joshua 9:3; 10:1-2). Ai is listed among the cities defeated by Joshua (Joshua 12:9). ¶After the Babylonian exile, some people from Ai returned to Jerusalem (Ezra 2:28; Nehemiah 7:32). Ai was resettled by the Benjamites (Nehemiah 11:31). The city is also mentioned in Isaiah 10:28 as part of a prophetic description of the Assyrian invasion of Judah.

Instead, they used the money to purchase a potter's field as a burial place for foreigners (Matthew 27:7). ¶In Acts, the field is called Akeldama, and it is stated that Judas bought the field with the reward of his wickedness and fell headlong there, bursting open in the middle, and his intestines gushed out (Act.1.18). The field was then known as the Field of Blood because of its association with Judas' death and the blood money used to purchase it. ¶The location of Akeldama is traditionally identified as a site south of Jerusalem, near the junction of the Hinnom and Kidron Valleys. The area has been used as a burial ground for centuries, with numerous tombs and burial caves dating from ancient times to the present day. ¶The purchase of Akeldama with the money from Judas' betrayal is seen as a fulfillment of prophecy, as stated in Matthew 27:9-10, which quotes from Zechariah 11:12-13 and Jeremiah 32:6-9. The field serves as a reminder of the tragic consequences of Judas' betrayal and the ultimate redemption brought about by Jesus' sacrifice. $========== PLACE Akrabbim@Num.34.4-Jdg=H4610 Akrabbim https://www.google.com/maps/@30.688292,35.263182,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.688292,35.263182 > #A location first mentioned at Num.34.4;

They inhabited the desert regions of the Sinai Peninsula and the Negev. The Amalekites were the first nation to attack Israel after the Exodus, at Rephidim (Exodus 17:8-16). Moses, with the help of Aaron and Hur, interceded for Israel while Joshua led the army in battle. As a result, God declared that He would be at war with Amalek from generation to generation (Exodus 17:16). ¶The Amalekites, along with other enemies, continued to harass Israel during the period of the judges (Judges 3:13; 6:3,33; 7:12; 10:12). Saul, Israel's first king, was commanded to completely destroy the Amalekites (1Sa.15.2-3). However, he disobeyed by sparing their king, Agag, and some of the livestock (1Sa.15.7-9). This act of disobedience led to God's rejection of Saul as king (1Sa.15.23; 28:18). ¶During David's reign, the Amalekites were among the enemies he defeated (1Sa.30.1-20; 2Sa.8.12; 1Ch.18.11). The last mention of the Amalekites is in 1Ch.4.43, which records that some of the Simeonites destroyed the remnant of the Amalekites during the time of Hezekiah. ¶The Amalekites are also mentioned in prophetic and poetic texts as symbols of Israel's enemies (Numbers 24:20; Psalm 83:7). Their persistent opposition to Israel and their role in the narratives of Saul and David make them significant adversaries in the biblical history of Israel. $========== PLACE Amam@Jos.15.26=H0538 Amam= near Moladah (Moladah@Jos.15.26-Neh=H4137) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.162327,35.057114,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.162327,35.057114 > #A location near Moladah only mentioned at Jos.15.26;

The context suggests that Amana is a mountain range, likely located in the region of Lebanon. ¶Some scholars identify Amana with the Anti-Lebanon mountain range, which runs parallel to the Lebanon mountains on the eastern side of the Beqaa Valley. Others associate it with Mount Amanus, a range located in southern Turkey, near the Syrian border. The exact identification remains uncertain. ¶The mention of Amana in the Song of Solomon is part of a literary device that uses geographical references to emphasize the beauty and desirability of the beloved.

This places Amaw in a region known for its ancient civilizations and cultural influences. ¶Apart from its association with Balaam, no other information about Amaw is provided in the Bible.

After a battle at Gibeon, Abner and his men fled, with Joab and Abishai in pursuit. ¶The verse states that Joab and Abishai reached the hill of Ammah as the sun was setting. The exact location of Ammah is not specified, but it was likely situated in the region of Gibeon, a short distance northwest of Jerusalem. The hill of Ammah may have been a prominent landmark or a strategic vantage point in the area. ¶Apart from this single mention in the narrative of the conflict between David's and Saul's forces, no other information about Ammah is provided in the Bible.

The Ammonites were descendants of Ben-ammi, the son of Lot by his younger daughter (Genesis 19:38). They inhabited the area north of Moab and east of the tribe of Reuben. ¶Throughout history, the Ammonites were often in conflict with Israel. During the time of the judges, the Ammonites oppressed Israel (Judges 10:6-9) until Jephthah defeated them (Judges 11). Saul fought against the Ammonites and rescued Jabesh-gilead from their siege (1Sa.11.1-11). David, during his reign, also engaged in battles with the Ammonites (2 Samuel 10; 12:26-31). ¶The Ammonite capital city was Rabbah (also known as Rabbath-Ammon), which was besieged and captured by Joab, David's commander (2Sa.12.26-29). The city later became part of the Ammonite territory again. The Ammonites were known for their worship of the god Milcom (1Ki.11.5,33; 2Ki.23.13). ¶The prophets often spoke against Ammon for their hostility towards Israel and predicted their downfall (Jeremiah 49:1-6; Ezk.21.28-32; 25:1-7) $========== PLACE Amphipolis@Act.17.1=G0295 Amphipolis https://www.google.com/maps/@40.82322547229525,23.83863142894023,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@40.82322547229525,23.83863142894023 > #A location only mentioned at Act.17.1;

It is mentioned in Act.17.1 as one of the places Paul and Silas passed through on their way from Philippi to Thessalonica during Paul's second missionary journey. ¶The city was an important military and economic center, situated on the main Roman road, the Via Egnatia, which connected the Adriatic Sea with the Hellespont. Amphipolis was originally an Athenian colony but later came under Macedonian and then Roman control. ¶Although the Bible does not provide any details about Paul's activities in Amphipolis, the mention of the city in the context of his journey highlights the strategic importance of the Via Egnatia for the spread of the gospel in the region.

Later, in the description of the territory allotted to Judah, Anab is listed among the cities in the hill country (Joshua 15:50). ¶The exact location of Anab is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the vicinity of Debir and Hebron, which are approximately 12 miles (19 km) southwest of Jerusalem. The city's capture by Joshua and its inclusion in the list of Judah's cities highlight its importance in the region during the early stages of Israel's settlement in the Promised Land. ¶No other information about Anab is provided in the Bible, and the city is not mentioned in any other context.

It was assigned to the Levites, specifically the descendants of Aaron, as one of their cities (Joshua 21:18; 1Ch.6.60). ¶The city is most notably associated with the prophet Jeremiah, who was born in Anathoth (Jeremiah 1:1). Jeremiah faced opposition from the people of his hometown, who plotted against his life because of his prophecies (Jeremiah 11:21-23). The prophet also received a divine command to purchase a field in Anathoth, which served as a sign of the future restoration of Judah (Jeremiah 32:7-9). ¶Several prominent figures in the Bible were associated with Anathoth, including Abiathar, a priest during the reign of King Solomon, who was exiled to Anathoth after supporting Adonijah's claim to the throne (1Ki.2.26). Two of David's mighty men, Abiezer and Jehu, were also from Anathoth (2Sa.23.27; 1Ch.11.28; 12:3; 27:12). ¶Anathoth was among the towns resettled by the Benjamites after the Babylonian exile (Ezra 2:23; Nehemiah 7:27; 11:32). The city is also mentioned in a prophetic context, as Isaiah declares judgment upon it (Isaiah 10:30), and Jeremiah confronts a false prophet from Anathoth named Pashhur (Jeremiah 29:27). ¶The biblical references to Anathoth highlight its significance as a Levitical city, its connection to the life and ministry of Jeremiah, and its role in the history of Israel, particularly during the divided monarchy and the post-exilic period. $========== PLACE Angle@2Ch.26.9=H4740G Angle= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem only mentioned at 2Ch.26.9;

It is mentioned in the New Testament in connection with Paul's missionary journeys. During Paul's first missionary journey, he and Barnabas visited Antioch in Pisidia, where Paul preached in the synagogue on the Sabbath (Act.13.14-41). ¶Paul's message in the synagogue focused on Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel and the offer of forgiveness of sins through faith in Him. While some of the Jews and proselytes believed, others rejected the message and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, forcing them to leave the city (Act.13.42-52). ¶Later, on their return journey, Paul and Barnabas revisited Antioch in Pisidia, strengthening the disciples and appointing elders in the church (Act.14.21-23). However, the city continued to be a place of opposition, as Jews from Antioch and Iconium followed Paul and Barnabas to Lystra, where they stoned Paul and left him for dead (Act.14.19-20). ¶In his second letter to Timothy, Paul mentions the persecutions and sufferings he endured in Antioch, along with Iconium and Lystra, highlighting the challenges he faced while preaching the gospel in these cities (2Ti.3.11). ¶The events in Antioch in Pisidia demonstrate the mixed response to the gospel message, with some embracing it and others violently opposing it. Despite the difficulties, the church in Antioch in Pisidia was established and strengthened through Paul's ministry. $========== PLACE Antioch@Act.6.5-Gal=G0490G Antioch_1 https://www.google.com/maps/@36.20233087051257,36.16238775165068,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@36.20233087051257,36.16238775165068 > #A location first mentioned at Act.6.5;

After the persecution that followed Stephen's martyrdom, some believers from Cyprus and Cyrene came to Antioch and preached the gospel to the Hellenists (Greeks) there (Act.11.19-20). The church in Jerusalem sent Barnabas to Antioch, who encouraged the believers and brought Saul (Paul) there to teach (Act.11.22-26). ¶It was in Antioch that the disciples were first called Christians (Act.11.26). The city became a hub for missionary activity, with Paul and Barnabas being sent out from Antioch on their first missionary journey (Act.13.1-3; 14:26). The church in Antioch also played a crucial role in the Jerusalem Council, which addressed the issue of Gentile believers and the Mosaic Law (Act.15.1-35). ¶Antioch was the home church of several notable figures, including the prophet Agabus (Act.11.27-28) and the evangelist Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch (Act.6.5). The apostle Peter visited Antioch, where Paul confronted him about his inconsistent behavior regarding Gentile believers (Galatians 2:11-14). ¶The church in Antioch became a model of a multicultural, mission-oriented congregation, demonstrating the power of the gospel to transcend cultural barriers and unite believers in Christ. Its strategic location and the fervor of its believers made Antioch a launching pad for the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire. $========== PLACE Antipatris@Act.23.31=G0494 Antipatris https://www.google.com/maps/@32.10043792968003,34.94650938910333,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.10043792968003,34.94650938910333 > #A location only mentioned at Act.23.31;

It is mentioned in Act.23.31 in connection with the apostle Paul's transfer from Jerusalem to Caesarea. After a plot against Paul's life was uncovered, the Roman commander ordered soldiers to escort Paul to Antipatris by night, ensuring his safety. ¶The city of Antipatris was built by Herod the Great and named after his father, Antipater. It was situated in a strategic location along the major road connecting Jerusalem to Caesarea, the Roman capital of Judea. The soldiers brought Paul to Antipatris, where they likely rested before continuing the journey to Caesarea the following day. ¶The mention of Antipatris in the account of Paul's transfer highlights the Roman authorities' concern for his safety and their efforts to protect him from the Jewish conspirators who sought to kill him. The city served as a stopover point on the journey, allowing the soldiers to cover a significant distance from Jerusalem and ensuring Paul's secure arrival in Caesarea. ¶Apart from this single reference in the context of Paul's transfer, no other information about Antipatris is provided in the Bible.

It was the site of significant battles between the Arameans (Syrians) and the Israelites during the reigns of King Ahab and King Jehoash of Israel. ¶In 1 Kings 20, the Arameans, led by Ben-hadad, assembled their forces at Aphek to fight against Israel. Despite the vast Aramean army, the Israelites, guided by a prophet, achieved a decisive victory. The Arameans fled to Aphek, where a wall collapsed and killed many of them (1Ki.20.26-30). ¶Later, during the reign of Jehoash, Aphek is mentioned again in the context of the Aramean oppression of Israel. The prophet Elisha, on his deathbed, instructed King Jehoash to shoot an arrow from the window, symbolizing the Lord's arrow of victory over the Arameans at Aphek (2Ki.13.17). ¶The precise location of this Aphek is uncertain, but it is generally identified with Fiq, a site in the eastern part of the Jezreel Valley, near the modern-day town of Kibbutz Afik.

It is mentioned in Joshua 12:18 as one of the cities defeated by Joshua during the conquest of Canaan. Later, Aphek was part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:53). ¶The city is most notably associated with the conflicts between the Israelites and the Philistines. In 1Sa.4.1, the Israelites camped at Ebenezer, while the Philistines camped at Aphek. The Philistines defeated the Israelites in battle and captured the Ark of the Covenant. Years later, during the reign of King Saul, the Philistines gathered their forces at Aphek before the fateful battle at Mount Gilboa, where Saul and his sons were killed (1Sa.29.1). ¶The exact location of Aphek in the Shephelah is uncertain, but it is generally identified with Tel Aphek, a site near the Yarkon River, about 11 miles (18 km) northeast of Joppa.

The city was later included in the list of cities given to the tribe of Asher (Joshua 19:30). ¶However, the tribe of Asher failed to drive out the Canaanite inhabitants of Aphek, as recorded in Judges 1:31. This failure to completely possess their allotted territory was a recurring issue for several Israelite tribes during the period of the judges. ¶The exact location of this Aphek in Asher's territory is uncertain, but it is generally associated with Tel Afek, a site near the Mediterranean coast, about 8 miles (13 km) north of Acco.

It simply states that they passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia before arriving in Thessalonica. This suggests that Apollonia was a transit point along the route, and Paul's primary focus was on reaching Thessalonica, where he spent significant time preaching and establishing a church. ¶Apollonia was situated about 30 miles (48 km) southwest of Amphipolis and about 37 miles (60 km) northeast of Thessalonica. The city was named after the Greek god Apollo and was known for its strategic location and commercial importance. ¶The mention of Apollonia in the context of Paul's journey highlights the apostle's systematic approach to evangelizing major cities and his use of the well-established Roman road system to facilitate his travel and the spread of the gospel. $========== PLACE Ar@Num.21.15-Isa=H6144 Ar https://www.google.com/maps/@31.44980942220132,35.59395836278803,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.44980942220132,35.59395836278803 > #A location first mentioned at Num.21.15;

God instructed them not to harass or provoke the Moabites, as He had given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a possession (Deu.2.9). The Israelites bypassed Ar and continued their journey (Deu.2.18). ¶In Numbers 21, the Israelites' journey is described, mentioning the valleys that extend to the site of Ar and lie along the border of Moab (Numbers 21:15). Later in the chapter, a poetic passage refers to a fire that came out of Heshbon and consumed Ar of Moab (Numbers 21:28), likely alluding to a past military conquest. ¶The prophet Isaiah also mentions Ar in his prophecy against Moab, declaring that Ar is laid waste and destroyed in a night (Isaiah 15:1). This prophecy foretells the coming judgment on Moab and its capital city. ¶The exact location of Ar is uncertain, but it is generally associated with the modern city of Rabba, about 15 miles (24 km) south of the Arnon River.

The Arabah is described as part of the route they took and as a region they passed through. ¶The Arabah is also mentioned in the book of Joshua as a reference point for the boundaries of the tribal allotments (Joshua 11:16; 12:1, 3, 8; 18:18). It served as a natural border between the territories of the tribes settling in Canaan. ¶In the historical books, the Arabah is associated with events such as David's flight from Absalom (2Sa.2.29; 4:7) and the escape of King Zedekiah from Jerusalem during the Babylonian invasion (2Ki.25.4; Jeremiah 39:4; 52:7). ¶The prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel mention the Arabah in their prophecies. Isaiah speaks of the Arabah as a place of desolation (Isaiah 33:9), while Ezekiel envisions a future restoration where the waters flowing from the temple will bring life to the Arabah (Ezk.47.8). ¶The Arabah's arid climate and sparse vegetation make it a challenging environment.

The Arabians also paid tribute to King Jehoshaphat of Judah (2Ch.17.11) and were among the enemies who attacked Judah during the reigns of Jehoram and Ahaziah (2Ch.21.16; 22:1). ¶The prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel mention Arabia and its inhabitants in their prophecies. Isaiah delivers a message concerning Arabia, foretelling the decline of its glory (Isaiah 21:13-17). Jeremiah includes the kings of Arabia among those who will drink the cup of God's wrath (Jeremiah 25:24). Ezekiel lists Arabia as one of the nations that traded with Tyre (Ezk.27.21) and includes the Arabians among the allies of Egypt who will fall (Ezk.30.5). ¶In the New Testament, the Apostle Paul mentions his visit to Arabia after his conversion (Galatians 1:17) and uses Mount Sinai in Arabia as an allegory for the earthly Jerusalem (Galatians 4:25). On the day of Pentecost, Arabs were among the people who heard the apostles speaking in their own languages (Act.2.11). ¶The Arabians were known for their nomadic lifestyle, traveling through the desert with their herds and engaging in trade. They were skilled in archery and horsemanship, making them formidable opponents in warfare. ¶Throughout the Bible, Arabia and its people are portrayed as having both positive and negative interactions with Israel and the surrounding nations, reflecting the complex dynamics of the ancient Near East. $========== PLACE Arad@Num.21.1-Jdg=H6166A Arad Arad@1Ch.8.15 https://www.google.com/maps/@31.28098170907087,35.12636584365214,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.28098170907087,35.12636584365214 Tribe of Benjamin #A location in Benjamin Tribe first mentioned at Num.21.1;

It is most famously known as the place where Noah's ark came to rest after the great flood, as recorded in Genesis 8:4. The specific mountain is often identified as Mount Ararat, which consists of two peaks: Greater Ararat and Lesser Ararat. ¶In the Bible, Ararat is also mentioned in the context of historical events. In 2Ki.19.37 and Isaiah 37:38, it is recorded that Adrammelech and Sharezer, the sons of Sennacherib, king of Assyria, fled to the land of Ararat after assassinating their father. This suggests that Ararat was a recognized geographical and political entity during the time of the Assyrian Empire. ¶Furthermore, in Jeremiah 51:27, Ararat is mentioned alongside Minni and Ashkenaz as kingdoms summoned to rise up against Babylon. This prophetic passage foretells the fall of Babylon and the role that the kingdoms of Ararat and its allies would play in this event. ¶The biblical references to Ararat highlight its significance as a geographical landmark and its association with important events in biblical history, most notably the landing of Noah's ark and the preservation of life after the flood. The mention of Ararat in the context of political alliances and conflicts also demonstrates its relevance in the geopolitical landscape of the ancient Near East. $========== PLACE Areopagus@Act.17.19-=G0697 Areopagus= in Athens (Athens@Act.17.15-2Th=G0116) https://www.google.com/maps/@37.98333333333333,23.73333333333333,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@37.98333333333333,23.73333333333333 > #A location in Athens first mentioned at Act.17.19;

It served as a meeting place for the Athenian council, which was responsible for judicial and legislative matters in the city. The Areopagus is most notably mentioned in Acts 17 in connection with the Apostle Paul's visit to Athens during his second missionary journey. ¶According to Act.17.19, some Epicurean and Stoic philosophers encountered Paul and brought him to the Areopagus to inquire about his teachings. They were intrigued by Paul's message about Jesus and the resurrection, which they considered to be foreign concepts. ¶Standing in the midst of the Areopagus, Paul delivered a powerful speech, addressing the religious and philosophical beliefs of the Athenians (Act.17.22-31). He observed that the city was full of idols and even found an altar dedicated to an "unknown god." Paul used this as a starting point to proclaim the one true God, the Creator of all things, who is not confined to man-made temples or idols. ¶Paul's message at the Areopagus emphasized the sovereignty of God, the need for repentance, and the reality of the resurrection and coming judgment through Jesus Christ. While some mocked Paul's message, others believed, including Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus council, and a woman named Damaris (Act.17.34). ¶The account of Paul's preaching at the Areopagus demonstrates his ability to engage with the intellectual and philosophical currents of his time, adapting his message to the audience while remaining faithful to the core truths of the gospel. It also highlights the challenges and opportunities the early church faced in proclaiming the message of Christ in a diverse and pluralistic society. $========== PLACE Argob@Deu.3.4-1Ki=H0709G Argob https://www.google.com/maps/@33.144,36.136,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.144,36.136 > #A location first mentioned at Deu.3.4;

It is mentioned in the Bible in connection with the Israelites' conquest of the Promised Land under the leadership of Moses and Joshua. ¶In Deu.3.4, Argob is described as a region containing sixty fortified cities, all of which were captured by the Israelites during their conquest of Og, the king of Bashan. These cities were noted for their high walls, gates, and bars, indicating their strong defensive capabilities (Deu.3.5). ¶The region of Argob was allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh as part of their inheritance in the Promised Land (Deu.3.13). Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took possession of Argob and named it Havvoth-jair, which means "the towns of Jair" (Deu.3.14). ¶During the reign of King Solomon, Argob was included in the territory governed by one of his twelve officers, who was responsible for providing provisions for the king and his household (1Ki.4.13). ¶The biblical references to Argob highlight its significance as a fortified and strategically important region in the Transjordan area.

It is mentioned numerous times in the Old Testament, primarily in the context of Israel's journey to the Promised Land and the subsequent division of the territory. ¶During the Israelites' wilderness wanderings, the Arnon served as a boundary between the Moabites and the Amorites (Numbers 21:13). The Amorites, led by King Sihon, had previously conquered the land north of the Arnon from the Moabites (Numbers 21:26). When the Israelites requested passage through Sihon's territory, he refused and engaged them in battle. Israel defeated Sihon and took possession of the land from the Arnon to the Jabbok (Numbers 21:24). ¶The Arnon later served as the southern border of the territory assigned to the tribes of Reuben and Gad (Deu.3.12, 16; Joshua 13:9, 16). It also marked the southern limit of the region controlled by King Sihon (Deu.2.36; Joshua 12:2) and, in later years, the extent of Jephthah's victories over the Ammonites (Judges 11:18, 22). ¶During the reign of Jehu, king of Israel, the territory east of the Jordan, including the area from the Arnon, was lost to Hazael, king of Aram (2Ki.10.33). The prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah also mention the Arnon in their prophecies concerning Moab (Isaiah 16:2; Jeremiah 48:20). ¶The Arnon's significance in the Bible lies in its role as a geographical boundary, marking the limits of territorial control for various nations and tribes throughout Israel's history. Its frequent mention in the context of military campaigns and territorial allotments underscores its importance as a strategic landmark in the region. $========== PLACE Aroer@1Sa.30.28=H6177I Aroer_3 https://www.google.com/maps/@31.14893187321126,34.9848522498051,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.14893187321126,34.9848522498051 > #A location only mentioned at 1Sa.30.28;

It is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, often in the context of defining territorial boundaries and military campaigns. ¶In Deu.2.36, Aroer is described as being on the edge of the Arnon Valley, marking the southern limit of the territory conquered by the Israelites from King Sihon of the Amorites. This area was later allotted to the tribe of Reuben (Deu.3.12; Joshua 13:9, 16). ¶Aroer is also mentioned in the description of the extent of King Sihon's territory, which stretched from the Arnon to the Jabbok (Joshua 12:2). During the time of the judges, Jephthah reminded the Ammonites that Israel had possessed the land from Aroer to the Jabbok for three hundred years (Judges 11:26). ¶In the reign of Jehu, king of Israel, the territory from Aroer was lost to Hazael, king of Aram (2Ki.10.33). The prophet Jeremiah also mentions Aroer in his prophecy concerning Moab, calling upon the inhabitants of Aroer to ask about the destruction that has come upon them (Jeremiah 48:19). ¶Aroer's significance in the Bible lies in its strategic location along the Arnon Valley, serving as a boundary marker and a point of reference in territorial descriptions. Its frequent mention in the context of military campaigns and territorial allotments underscores its importance as a key city in the region. $========== PLACE Aroer@Num.32.34-Isa=H6177G Aroer_2 https://www.google.com/maps/@31.9617,35.9115,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.9617,35.9115 > #A location first mentioned at Num.32.34;

According to Numbers 32:34, the Gadites built Aroer, along with other cities in the region, after the conquest of the land under Moses' leadership. ¶Aroer is mentioned in Joshua 13:25 as part of the description of Gad's territory, situated near the border with the Ammonites. The city is also noted in the account of Jephthah's victory over the Ammonites, where he is said to have struck them from Aroer to Minnith (Judges 11:33). ¶During King David's reign, Aroer is mentioned in the context of the census he conducted, which began at Aroer and continued throughout the regions east of the Jordan (2Sa.24.5). The city was also the hometown of Shamgar, one of David's mighty men (1Ch.11.44). ¶The prophet Isaiah mentions Aroer in his prophecy concerning Damascus, stating that the cities of Aroer will be forsaken (Isaiah 17:2). This suggests that Aroer, along with other cities in the region, would face judgment and desolation. ¶Aroer's significance in the Bible lies in its association with the tribe of Gad and its location in the Transjordan region. The city's mention in various contexts, from the initial settlement of the land to the reigns of David and the prophetic messages, highlights its enduring presence throughout Israel's history. $========== PLACE Arpad@2Ki.18.34-Jer=H0774 Arpad= near Hamath (Hamath@Num.13.21-Zec=H2574G) https://www.google.com/maps/@35.136204,36.749488,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@35.136204,36.749488 > #A location near Hamath first mentioned at 2Ki.18.34;

The exact location of Arubboth is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated in the central or northern part of Israel, as the districts seem to be listed in a roughly geographical order. ¶The mention of Arubboth in the context of Solomon's administrative divisions highlights the king's effective organization and management of his kingdom. By appointing officers over specific districts, Solomon ensured a steady supply of resources for the royal court and maintained control over his vast territory. ¶Apart from this single reference in the list of Solomon's districts and their officers, no other information about Arubboth is provided in the Bible.

In Judges 9:41, Arumah is associated with Abimelech, the son of Gideon, who ruled as a king over Israel for three years. After Abimelech's conflict with the people of Shechem, he lived in Arumah, possibly using it as a base of operations or a place of refuge. ¶The city is mentioned again in 2Ki.23.36, where it is identified as the hometown of Zebidah, the mother of King Jehoiakim of Judah. Jehoiakim, who reigned in the early 6th century BC, was a vassal of Egypt and later Babylon. The mention of Rumah as his mother's place of origin suggests that the city may have been located in the northern kingdom of Israel or in the region of Samaria. ¶The exact location of Arumah or Rumah is uncertain, but some scholars propose that it could be identified with Khirbet el-Ormah, a site about 6 miles (10 km) southeast of Shechem. However, this identification remains tentative. ¶The biblical references to Arumah or Rumah, though brief, provide glimpses into the political and familial connections of significant figures in Israel's history, such as Abimelech and King Jehoiakim.

It is mentioned in Ezekiel 27 as one of the cities that provided skilled mariners and soldiers for the maritime trade and defense of Tyre, a prominent Phoenician city. ¶In Ezekiel's lamentation over Tyre, he describes the city's vast trading network and the various nations that contributed to its wealth and power. Arvad is noted for its role in supplying sailors to navigate Tyre's ships (Ezk.27.8) and soldiers to guard its walls (Ezk.27.11). This indicates that Arvad had a reputation for producing experienced seafarers and well-trained warriors. ¶Arvad was part of the Phoenician civilization and had a long history of maritime trade and cultural exchange with other Mediterranean nations. The city was situated on a small, rocky island with limited natural resources, which likely contributed to its focus on seafaring and commerce. ¶The biblical mention of Arvad in the context of Tyre's trade and military alliances highlights the interconnected nature of the Phoenician city-states and their shared expertise in navigation and maritime affairs. It also underscores the significance of Arvad as a valuable partner in Tyre's economic and defensive network. ¶Apart from its appearance in Ezekiel's prophecy, Arvad is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible.

However, in Joshua 19:7 and 1Ch.4.32, Ashan is included in the list of cities given to the tribe of Simeon within Judah's inheritance. ¶Later, in 1Ch.6.59, Ashan is mentioned as one of the cities given to the Levites, specifically to the descendants of Aaron, along with its pasturelands. This suggests that Ashan was designated as a Levitical city, where the priests and Levites resided and served in their sacred duties. ¶The exact location of Ashan is uncertain, but it is generally believed to be situated in the northwestern part of the Judean Shephelah, possibly near the city of Libnah. Some scholars propose identifying Ashan with the modern site of Khirbet Hasan, approximately 7 miles (11 km) northwest of Lachish. ¶The biblical references to Ashan highlight its inclusion in the territorial distribution of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel.

Located in the tribal territory allocated to Judah, it remained predominantly under Philistine control throughout much of its history. ¶The city first appears in biblical records as one of the few places where the Anakim (giants) survived after Joshua's conquest. Though assigned to Judah, it remained a Philistine stronghold. The city gained particular prominence during the episode of the captured Ark of the Covenant. After defeating the Israelites, the Philistines brought the Ark to Ashdod and placed it in the temple of their god Dagon. This resulted in the statue of Dagon falling and breaking, followed by an outbreak of tumors among the city's inhabitants, leading them to send the Ark away. ¶King Uzziah of Judah later broke down the walls of Ashdod and built cities in its territory. The city faced multiple military campaigns, including an Assyrian conquest mentioned by Isaiah. The prophet Amos used Ashdod as a reference point for neighboring nations to witness Egypt's moral corruption. ¶Several prophets pronounced judgment against Ashdod. Jeremiah included it among the cities to drink the cup of God's wrath. Amos, Zephaniah, and Zechariah all prophesied its downfall or conquest. ¶In the post-exilic period, Nehemiah noted that some Jews had married women from Ashdod, resulting in their children speaking the language of Ashdod rather than Hebrew. This was viewed as a serious problem during the restoration of Jerusalem. ¶The city continued to exist into New Testament times, where it is referred to by its Greek name Azotus. It appears in Acts as one of the places where Philip the evangelist preached after his encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch. ¶Probably corresponds to modern Esdud in Israel, located between ancient Joppa and Gaza. $========== PLACE Ashkelon@Jos.13.3-Zec=H0831 Ashkelon https://www.google.com/maps/@31.66240510553615,34.54722773494757,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.66240510553615,34.54722773494757 Philistia #A location in Philistia first mentioned at Jos.13.3;

It is mentioned several times in the Bible, often in the context of conflict with Israel and as a target of prophetic judgment. ¶In Judges 1:18, Ashkelon is listed among the cities captured by the tribe of Judah during the conquest of Canaan. However, the city later reverted to Philistine control. Judges 14:19 records that Samson, empowered by the Spirit of the Lord, went down to Ashkelon, killed thirty men, and took their garments to pay a debt. ¶Ashkelon is mentioned as one of the Philistine cities that received a golden tumor as a guilt offering when the Ark of the Covenant was returned to Israel (1Sa.6.17). In 2Sa.1.20, David laments the death of Saul and Jonathan, urging that the news not be proclaimed in Ashkelon, lest the Philistines rejoice. ¶Several prophets, including Jeremiah, Amos, and Zephaniah, pronounce judgments against Ashkelon. Jeremiah includes Ashkelon among the nations that will drink the cup of God's wrath (Jeremiah 25:20) and describes the city as cut off and bereaved (Jeremiah 47:5, 7). Amos prophesies that God will send fire upon Ashkelon (Amo.1.8), while Zephaniah declares that Ashkelon will become a desolation (Zephaniah 2:4) but also foresees a future restoration (Zephaniah 2:7). Zechariah portrays Ashkelon as fearful and mourning in the face of God's judgment (Zechariah 9:5). ¶Throughout its biblical history, Ashkelon remains a significant Philistine stronghold and a symbol of opposition to Israel. The city's inclusion in prophetic oracles underscores its importance and the divine judgment it would face for its hostility toward God's people. $========== PLACE Ashkenaz@Jer.51.27=H0813H Ashkenaz https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6,44.6,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@40.6,44.6 Assyria #A location in Assyria only mentioned at Jer.51.27;

Some scholars propose that Ashkenaz may have been located in the vicinity of the Caspian Sea or in the region of Armenia. ¶The mention of Ashkenaz in Jeremiah's prophecy suggests that it was a significant power or ally that could contribute to the downfall of Babylon.

Both cities were located in the Shephelah, the lowland region situated between the coastal plain and the Judean hills. ¶The first Ashnah is listed in Joshua 15:33 among the cities in the northern part of the Shephelah, along with Eshtaol, Zorah, and others. This group of cities was located near the border with the tribe of Dan. ¶The second Ashnah is mentioned in Joshua 15:43, grouped with cities such as Jiphtah, Ashnah, and Nezib in the southern part of the Shephelah. This cluster of cities was situated closer to the Negev region. ¶Apart from their inclusion in the lists of Judah's cities, no other information is provided about either of the Ashnahs in the Bible. Their mention in the context of the tribal allotment highlights the process of dividing and assigning the conquered territories among the tribes of Israel. ¶The exact locations of the two Ashnahs are uncertain, and they are not mentioned in any other biblical narratives or historical accounts.

It is mentioned several times in the Bible, particularly in connection with Og, the king of Bashan, who ruled over the city. ¶In Deu.1.4, Ashtaroth is named as one of the cities defeated by the Israelites, along with Edrei, after they had conquered Sihon, king of the Amorites. Joshua 9:10 and 12:4 also mention Ashtaroth as part of the territory ruled by Og, who was one of the last remnants of the Rephaim, a race of giants. ¶After the conquest of Bashan, Ashtaroth was allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh (Joshua 13:31). However, the city was later designated as a Levitical city, given to the descendants of Gershon (Joshua 21:27; 1Ch.6.71). This indicates that Ashtaroth was one of the cities set apart for the Levites to dwell in and perform their sacred duties. ¶In 1Ch.11.44, Ashtaroth is mentioned as the hometown of Uzzia, one of David's mighty men, suggesting that the city had Israelite inhabitants during the time of David's reign. ¶The name Ashtaroth is also associated with the Canaanite goddess Astarte, and it is possible that the city was a center of her worship before the Israelite conquest. The biblical writers often used the name Ashtaroth to refer to the goddess herself or to the plural form of Astarte, representing multiple goddesses or idols. ¶The city of Ashtaroth was strategically located in the fertile region of Bashan, known for its rich pastures and livestock. Its mention in the Bible highlights the Israelites' victories over the powerful kings of the region and the allotment of the conquered territories to the tribes of Israel, including the Levites. $========== PLACE Ashteroth-karnaim@Gen.14.5-Amo=H6255 Ashteroth-karnaim https://www.google.com/maps/@32.7666666667,36.0166666667,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.7666666667,36.0166666667 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.14.5;

It should not be confused with the modern continent of Asia. ¶In Acts, Asia is mentioned several times in the context of Paul's missionary journeys. Jews from Asia were present in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost (Act.2.9), and some belonged to the Synagogue of the Freedmen, who disputed with Stephen (Act.6.9). Paul traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach in Asia (Act.16.6). Later, Paul spent two years in Ephesus, and all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord (Act.19.10). Demetrius, a silversmith who made shrines of Artemis, stirred up a crowd against Paul, fearing that Paul's preaching would undermine the worship of Artemis, whom all Asia revered (Act.19.26-27). ¶In his farewell address to the Ephesian elders, Paul mentions that he had faced plots by the Jews from Asia (Act.20.18-19). When Paul visited the temple in Jerusalem, Jews from Asia stirred up the crowd against him (Act.21.27). During Paul's voyage to Rome, the ship stopped at Myra in Lycia, where an Alexandrian ship was found sailing for Italy (Act.27.2). ¶The churches in Asia are mentioned in the opening of 1 Peter (1Pe.1.1) and Revelation (Revelation 1:4, 11). Paul also sends greetings to Prisca and Aquila, and to the church in their house, the first fruits of Asia (1Co.16.19; Romans 16:5). In 2 Timothy, Paul writes that all those in Asia had turned away from him (2Ti.1.15). ¶These references to Asia in the New Testament provide insight into the early spread of Christianity and the challenges faced by the apostles in this region of the Roman Empire. $========== PLACE Assos@Act.20.13-=G0789 Assos https://www.google.com/maps/@39.48955031303715,26.33586734239906,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@39.48955031303715,26.33586734239906 > #A location first mentioned at Act.20.13;

The plan was for Paul to meet them in Assos and join them on the ship. After meeting up in Assos, they sailed together to Mitylene. ¶The reason for Paul's decision to travel by land to Assos is not explicitly stated in the text. Some scholars suggest that Paul may have wanted to visit friends or churches along the way, or that he needed time alone for prayer and reflection. ¶Assos was situated on the Aegean coast, about 20 miles (32 km) south of Troas. It was known for its strong walls, which were built from the local volcanic rock. The city also had a significant harbor and was an important trade center in the region. ¶Apart from this brief mention in Acts, Assos does not play a significant role in the New Testament narrative.

The Assyrians are mentioned extensively throughout the Old Testament, often in the context of their military conquests and their interactions with the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. ¶The name "Asshur" first appears in Genesis 10:11, where it is associated with Nimrod, who is said to have built several cities, including Nineveh, the capital of Assyria. In Genesis 25:18, the descendants of Ishmael are described as living in the region from Havilah to Shur, near the border of Egypt, as one goes toward Assyria. ¶Assyria began to emerge as a significant power in the 9th century BC, and its kings are mentioned in the books of Kings and Chronicles. The Assyrian king Shalmaneser III is recorded as receiving tribute from Jehu, king of Israel (2Ki.15.19-20). Later, Tiglath-Pileser III, also known as Pul, conquered parts of Israel and deported some of its inhabitants (2Ki.15.29; 1Ch.5.6, 26). ¶The Assyrian Empire reached its zenith during the reign of Sennacherib, who is known for his military campaigns against Judah and his siege of Jerusalem during the reign of King Hezekiah (2 Kings 18-19; 2 Chronicles 32; Isaiah 36-37). The prophet Isaiah played a significant role in encouraging Hezekiah to trust in God and resist the Assyrian threat. ¶Other Assyrian kings, such as Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal, are also mentioned in the Bible (Ezra 4:2; 2Ch.33.11). The fall of the Assyrian Empire is alluded to in the prophetic books, particularly in Nahum, which foretells the destruction of Nineveh (Nam.3.18-19). $========== PLACE Atad@Gen.50.10-=H0329G Atad between Jericho and the Jordan(?) https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.50.10;

Its primary significance lies in its role as a boundary marker, helping to delineate the extent of the tribal territories in the heartland of ancient Israel. $========== PLACE Ataroth@Num.32.3-=H5852G Ataroth_1 https://www.google.com/maps/@31.60000000000001,35.7,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.60000000000001,35.7 > #A location first mentioned at Num.32.3;

Moses granted their request on the condition that they help the other tribes conquer the land west of the Jordan (Numbers 32:33-42). The town of Ataroth was rebuilt by the tribe of Gad (Numbers 32:34). Its exact location is uncertain, but it was likely situated near the border between Gad and Reuben's territories.

In Joshua 16:5, Ataroth-addar is mentioned as part of the description of Ephraim's territory, specifically its southern border. The town is listed along with Beth-horon as marking the extent of Ephraim's inheritance. ¶In Joshua 18:13, Ataroth-addar appears again in the delineation of Benjamin's territory. The verse states that the border extended from there to Ataroth-addar, near the hill south of Lower Beth-horon. This description places Ataroth-addar in the vicinity of Beth-horon, a strategically important town in the western foothills of the central hill country. ¶The name Ataroth-addar likely combines two elements: "Ataroth," meaning "crowns" or "wreaths," and "Addar," which may be a personal name or a descriptive term. The exact location of Ataroth-addar is not known with certainty, but its repeated mention in the boundary descriptions underscores its significance as a border town between Ephraim and Benjamin. ¶Apart from its role in demarcating tribal territories, no other information about Ataroth-addar is provided in the Bible. Its inclusion in the boundary lists of Joshua highlights the importance of establishing clear territorial divisions among the tribes of Israel as they settled in the Promised Land. $========== PLACE Athach@1Sa.30.30=H6269 Athach = near Hebron(?) https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 > #A location near Hebron(?) only mentioned at 1Sa.30.30; called Athach (עֲתָ֑ךְ) Place – Named Athach@1Sa.30.30 H6269«H6269=עֲתָ֑ךְ Athach (NIV= Athak) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Athach*|reference=1Sa.30.30 1Sa.30.30 – Total Athach H6269 1Sa.30.30; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A town that received spoils from David's victory. @Short= Athach, a town in Judah that received a share of the spoils from David's victory over the Amalekites. @Article= Athach is mentioned briefly in 1Sa.30.30 as one of the towns in Judah that received a portion of the spoils from David's victory over the Amalekites. After rescuing his men's families and recovering all that the Amalekites had taken, David sent gifts from the plunder to the elders of Judah and to his friends in various towns, including Athach. ¶The exact location of Athach is unknown, but it was likely situated in the southern part of Judah, possibly in the Negev region. The context of 1 Samuel 30 suggests that Athach was among the towns where David had previously found support and refuge during his time fleeing from King Saul. ¶David's act of sharing the spoils with Athach and other towns demonstrates his gratitude for their assistance and his desire to strengthen his relationships with the people of Judah. This gesture also foreshadows David's future role as king over all Israel, as he sought to build alliances and establish his authority in the region. ¶Apart from this single reference in 1 Samuel, no other information about Athach is provided in the Bible. Its mention in the context of David's victory and distribution of plunder highlights the significance of his growing influence and the support he enjoyed among the towns of Judah. $========== PLACE Atharim@Num.21.1=H0871 Atharim= near Zephath (Zephath@Num.14.45-1Ch=H6857) https://www.google.com/maps/@30.880918,34.630620,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.880918,34.630620 > #A location near Zephath only mentioned at Num.21.1;

Upon hearing this news, the king attacked Israel and took some of them captive. ¶The exact location of Atharim is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the northern part of the Negev desert, south of Canaan. The name Atharim may refer to a specific road or route that the Israelites were traveling on during their journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. ¶The incident at Atharim occurred after the Israelites had left Mount Hor and were continuing their journey around the land of Edom. The attack by the Canaanite king of Arad was a significant challenge for the Israelites, as it threatened their progress and security in the region. ¶In response to this attack, the Israelites made a vow to the Lord, promising to utterly destroy the Canaanite cities if God would deliver them into their hands. God heard their plea and gave them victory over the Canaanites, leading to the destruction of their cities and the renaming of the place as Hormah, meaning "destruction" (Numbers 21:2-3). ¶The event at Atharim highlights the ongoing challenges and conflicts the Israelites faced during their wilderness journey, as well as their dependence on God's protection and intervention in the face of enemy attacks. It also foreshadows the future conquest of Canaan under Joshua's leadership. $========== PLACE Athens@Act.17.15-2Th=G0116 Athens https://www.google.com/maps/@37.98333333333333,23.73333333333333,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@37.98333333333333,23.73333333333333 > #A location first mentioned at Act.17.15;

In the New Testament, Athens is mentioned primarily in connection with the Apostle Paul's second missionary journey. ¶According to Act.17.15-16, Paul was brought to Athens by some believers from Berea, who then returned with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as soon as possible. While waiting for them in Athens, Paul was deeply distressed to see that the city was full of idols. ¶Paul's time in Athens was marked by his interactions with the local philosophers and his famous sermon at the Areopagus, also known as Mars Hill (Act.17.19-34). He engaged in discussions with Epicurean and Stoic philosophers, who were intrigued by his teaching about Jesus and the resurrection. Some of them brought Paul to the Areopagus, where he delivered a discourse, starting with a reference to an altar dedicated to an unknown god. ¶In his sermon, Paul proclaimed the one true God, the Creator of all things, and called for repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. While some mocked Paul's message, others believed, including Dionysius, a member of the Areopagus, and a woman named Damaris. ¶After his time in Athens, Paul traveled to Corinth (Act.18.1), where he continued his ministry.

(Multiple references, see article for details) @Article= Babylon, also known as Babel, was an ancient city located in Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq) along the Euphrates River. It served as the capital of the Babylonian Empire, one of the most powerful empires in the ancient Near East. The city first appears in the Bible in Genesis 10:10 as part of Nimrod's kingdom and is identified as the location of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:9). ¶Throughout the Old Testament, Babylon is mentioned as a major political and military power, often in conflict with Israel and Judah. The city became the dominant power in the region under King Nebuchadnezzar II, who conquered Judah, destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple, and exiled many Jews to Babylon (2 Kings 24-25; 2 Chronicles 36). The Babylonian captivity lasted for 70 years, as prophesied by Jeremiah (Jeremiah 25:11; 29:10). ¶Several Old Testament prophets, including Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel, prophesied against Babylon, foretelling its eventual downfall (Isaiah 13-14; Jeremiah 50-51; Ezekiel 26-32). In these prophecies, Babylon is sometimes referred to by other names, such as Sheshak (Jeremiah 25:26; 51:41), Merathaim (Jeremiah 50:21), and Pekod (Jeremiah 50:21; Ezk.23.23), which are believed to be code names or references to specific regions within the Babylonian Empire. ¶After the Persians conquered Babylon in 539 BC, the city gradually declined in importance. In the New Testament, Babylon is used symbolically to represent worldly power and opposition to God (Revelation 14:8; 16:19; 17:5; 18:2, 10, 21). $========== PLACE Bahurim@2Sa.3.16-1Ch=H0980 Bahurim https://www.google.com/maps/@31.824736,35.388486,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.824736,35.388486 > #A location first mentioned at 2Sa.3.16;

It is mentioned several times in the Bible, primarily in connection with events during the reign of King David. ¶In 2Sa.3.16, Bahurim is mentioned as the place where Michal, David's wife, was returned to him by her husband Paltiel, as ordered by David. Later, when David was fleeing from his son Absalom, Shimei, a member of Saul's clan from Bahurim, cursed and threw stones at David and his men (2Sa.16.5). However, when David returned to Jerusalem after Absalom's defeat, Shimei met him at the Jordan River and apologized for his actions (2Sa.19.16; 1Ki.2.8). ¶Bahurim is also mentioned as the hometown of Azmaveth, one of David's mighty men (2Sa.23.31; 1Ch.11.33). Additionally, Jonathan and Ahimaaz, the sons of the priests Abiathar and Zadok, hid in a well at Bahurim to avoid being captured by Absalom's men while relaying information to David (2Sa.17.18). $========== PLACE Bajith@Isa.15.2=H1006 Word sometimes translated as a place https://www.google.com/maps/@31.49684513710609,35.78284105296996,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.49684513710609,35.78284105296996 > #A location only mentioned at Isa.15.2;

(Isaiah 15:2) @Article= Bajith, meaning "temple" or "house," is mentioned in Isaiah 15:2 as part of a prophecy against Moab. In this passage, Isaiah describes the Moabites going up to their temple (Bajith) and to their high places to weep and mourn over the impending destruction of their cities, Nebo and Medeba. ¶The specific location of Bajith is not provided, but it is likely that it was a significant temple or high place within Moabite territory, east of the Dead Sea. High places were elevated locations where pagan worship and sacrifices were often conducted. ¶The prophecy in Isaiah 15 foretells the judgment and devastation that would come upon Moab, a nation that had a history of conflict with Israel. The mention of the Moabites going to Bajith to weep and mourn highlights their distress and the futility of seeking help from their pagan gods in the face of God's judgment. $========== PLACE Balah@Jos.19.3=H1088 Balah= near Beersheba (Beersheba@Gen.21.14-Amo=H0884) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.24495217357714,34.8408885849849,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.24495217357714,34.8408885849849 > #A location near Beersheba only mentioned at Jos.19.3;

It was conquered by the Israelites during the time of Moses, along with the territories of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan (Numbers 21:33; Deu.3.1-11). The land of Bashan was allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh (Numbers 32:33; Joshua 13:29-31). ¶The region was known for its strong oak trees (Isaiah 2:13; Ezk.27.6) and its well-nourished cattle, often referred to as the "bulls of Bashan" (Deu.32.14; Psalm 22:12; Amo.4.1). It was also famous for its rich pastures (Jeremiah 50:19; Micah 7:14) and its fertile soil, which was well-suited for growing crops (Psalm 135:11; 136:20). ¶Bashan was one of the regions from which Solomon received supplies for his royal court (1Ki.4.13). It was also the homeland of Golan, one of the cities of refuge designated by Moses (Deu.4.43; Joshua 20:8; 21:27). ¶Several Old Testament passages use Bashan as a symbol of God's power and judgment (Psalm 68:15, 22; Isaiah 33:9; Jeremiah 22:20; Ezk.39.18; Zechariah 11:2). The region was also mentioned in the context of God's blessings and provision for His people (Deu.33.22; Nehemiah 9:22). $========== PLACE Bath-rabbim@Sng.7.4=H1337 Bath-rabbim= in Heshbon (Heshbon@Num.21.25-Jer=H2809) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.80052000870321,35.80901866717255,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.80052000870321,35.80901866717255 > #A location in Heshbon only mentioned at Sng.7.4;

The pools of Heshbon mentioned in the verse were probably nearby reservoirs or water sources. ¶In the Song of Solomon, the comparison of the Beloved's eyes to these pools suggests that they were clear, peaceful, and beautiful.

(Act.3.2, 10) @Article= The Beautiful Gate, mentioned in Act.3.2 and 3:10, was one of the gates of the temple in Jerusalem during the time of the early church. It was the location where the apostle Peter, accompanied by John, encountered a man who had been lame from birth. The man was carried daily to the gate to ask for alms from those entering the temple courts. ¶As Peter and John approached the gate, the man asked them for money. Instead, Peter commanded the man to walk in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Instantly, the man's feet and ankles were made strong, and he began to walk, leap, and praise God. This miracle attracted the attention of the people, who were astonished to see the man walking and praising God. ¶The exact location and appearance of the Beautiful Gate are not described in detail in the Bible. It is believed to have been one of the main entrances to the temple complex, possibly leading from the Court of the Gentiles to the Court of Women. The gate's name suggests that it was likely an ornate and impressive structure. ¶The healing of the lame man at the Beautiful Gate was a significant event in the early church, demonstrating the power of the risen Christ and the authority of the apostles to perform miracles in His name. It also provided an opportunity for Peter to preach the gospel to the gathered crowd, resulting in many people coming to believe in Jesus (Act.3.11-26). $========== PLACE Beer@Num.21.16=H0876G Beer= near Eneglaim (Eneglaim@Ezk.47.10=H5882) https://www.google.com/maps/@30.998062,35.498547,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.998062,35.498547 > #A location near Eneglaim only mentioned at Num.21.16;

The passage states that "the cry of distress has gone around the territory of Moab; its wailing reaches to Eglaim, its wailing reaches to Beer-elim." ¶The exact location of Beer-elim is not specified in the Bible, but based on the context of the prophecy, it was likely a place within the territory of Moab. The mention of Beer-elim alongside Eglaim suggests that it may have been a significant town or landmark in the region. ¶The prophecy against Moab in Isaiah 15 is part of a larger series of oracles against various nations, highlighting God's judgment against those who oppose Him and His people.

As she was wandering in the wilderness, the Angel of the Lord appeared to her near a spring of water. The Angel spoke to Hagar, encouraging her and instructing her to return to Sarah and submit to her. Hagar responded by calling the name of the Lord "You are the God who sees," and she named the well Beer-lahai-roi (Genesis 16:14). ¶Later, in Genesis 24:62, it is mentioned that Isaac, Abraham's son, was living in the Negev and had come from Beer-lahai-roi when Rebekah arrived to become his wife. After Abraham's death, Isaac settled near Beer-lahai-roi (Genesis 25:11). ¶The well of Beer-lahai-roi served as a significant location in the story of Hagar and her encounters with God.

During the Israelite conquest of Canaan, the people of Beeroth, along with those of Gibeon, Chephirah, and Kiriath-jearim, deceived Joshua and the Israelites into making a peace treaty with them by pretending to be from a distant land (Joshua 9:17). ¶After the treaty was made, Beeroth was allotted to the tribe of Benjamin as part of their inheritance in the Promised Land (Joshua 18:25). The city was located in the region north of Jerusalem, near Gibeon and Kiriath-jearim. ¶Beeroth is mentioned in connection with several events in the Bible. It was the hometown of two of David's mighty men, Naharai (2Sa.23.37; 1Ch.11.39) and Rechab and Baanah, who murdered Ish-bosheth, Saul's son (2Sa.4.2-3, 5, 9). After the Babylonian exile, some of the people of Beeroth returned to Judah (Ezra 2:25; Nehemiah 7:29). ¶In Judges 9:21, Jotham, the youngest son of Gideon, fled to Beer (possibly another name for Beeroth) for safety after confronting the people of Shechem about their support for his half-brother Abimelech, who had killed Jotham's brothers. ¶The city of Beeroth played a role in the early history of Israel, first as a Canaanite city that deceived the Israelites, then as part of the tribe of Benjamin's inheritance, and later as the hometown of some of David's mighty men and a place of refuge for Jotham. $========== PLACE Beersheba@Gen.21.14-Amo=H0884 Beersheba https://www.google.com/maps/@31.24495217357714,34.8408885849849,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.24495217357714,34.8408885849849 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.21.14;

(Multiple references, see article for details) @Article= Beersheba, also known as Sheba or Shibah, was a significant city located in the Negev region of southern Israel. It is mentioned numerous times throughout the Old Testament and is closely associated with the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (or 'Jacob'). ¶The name "Beersheba" first appears in Genesis 21:31, where Abraham named the place after making a covenant with Abimelech, the king of Gerar. The name means "well of seven" or "well of the oath," referring to the seven ewe lambs that Abraham gave to Abimelech as a witness to the covenant (Genesis 21:28-31). ¶Abraham lived in Beersheba for a time (Genesis 22:19), and it was from there that he set out to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice in the land of Moriah (Genesis 22:1-19). Isaac also lived in Beersheba, where he built an altar and called upon the name of the Lord (Genesis 26:23-25, 33). Jacob left Beersheba to go to Haran (Genesis 28:10) and later returned there to offer sacrifices to God before going to Egypt (Genesis 46:1, 5). ¶In the later history of Israel, Beersheba marked the southern extent of the nation, as seen in the phrase "from Dan to Beersheba" (Judges 20:1; 1Sa.3.20; 2Sa.3.10; 17:11; 24:2, 15; 1Ki.4.25). The city was allotted to the tribe of Simeon (Joshua 19:2) and became part of the kingdom of Judah (2Sa.24.7). ¶Beersheba was also a center of idolatry, as evidenced by the references to the "way of Beersheba" (Amo.8.14) and the "sin of Samaria" (Amo.5.5). King Josiah removed the idolatrous priests and destroyed the high places from Geba to Beersheba as part of his religious reforms (2Ki.23.8). ¶In summary, Beersheba was a prominent city in the Negev, serving as a key location in the lives of the patriarchs and later as a boundary marker for the nation of Israel.

The name "Bene-jaakan" means "sons of Jaakan" in Hebrew, while "Beeroth Bene-jaakan" means "wells of the sons of Jaakan." ¶In Numbers 33:31-32, Bene-jaakan is listed as one of the stages in the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. The passage states that they traveled from Moseroth and camped at Bene-jaakan, and then they journeyed from Bene-jaakan and camped at Hor-haggidgad. ¶In Deu.10.6, Beeroth Bene-jaakan is mentioned in the context of Moses' recounting of the Israelites' travels. It states that the Israelites traveled from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron died and was buried. ¶The exact location of Bene-jaakan or Beeroth Bene-jaakan is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated somewhere in the Sinai Peninsula or the Negev desert.

It was likely named after the tribe of Benjamin, whose territory was located just north of the city. ¶In Jeremiah 20:2, the priest Pashhur struck the prophet Jeremiah and put him in the stocks at the Benjamin Gate. This incident occurred after Jeremiah had prophesied about the impending destruction of Jerusalem and the exile of its people. ¶Later, in Jeremiah 37:13, the prophet was arrested by the guard at the Benjamin Gate when he was attempting to leave Jerusalem during the Babylonian siege of the city. The guard accused Jeremiah of defecting to the Babylonians, but the prophet denied the charge. ¶In Jeremiah 38:7, Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, a eunuch in the king's house, heard that Jeremiah had been put into a cistern in the court of the guard. He went to the king at the Benjamin Gate to intercede on Jeremiah's behalf, and the king ordered Ebed-melech to take men and lift Jeremiah out of the cistern. ¶The Benjamin Gate served as a significant location in the book of Jeremiah, being associated with the prophet's persecution, arrest, and rescue.

In this passage, the prophet describes a time when Jerusalem will be safely inhabited and the surrounding land will be turned into a plain. ¶The verse states that the city will be raised up and remain in its place, from the Benjamin Gate to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses. This description suggests that the Benjamin Gate was one of the key landmarks in Jerusalem's wall, possibly located on the northern side of the city, facing the territory of the tribe of Benjamin. ¶The prophecy in Zechariah 14 speaks of a future time when Jerusalem will be exalted and secure, with the Lord being king over all the earth. The mention of the Benjamin Gate in this context highlights its significance as part of the restored and transformed city. ¶It is worth noting that the Benjamin Gate mentioned in Zechariah may not necessarily be the same gate as the one referenced in the book of Jeremiah, as the two prophets lived at different times in history. However, both gates were likely named after the tribe of Benjamin and were important landmarks in Jerusalem's topography. $========== PLACE Beracah_Valley@2Ch.20.26=H1294H Valley of Beracah https://www.google.com/maps/@31.610650,35.165648,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.610650,35.165648 > #A location first mentioned at 2Ch.20.26;

The Bereans were commended for their open-mindedness and diligence in examining the Scriptures daily to verify the truth of Paul's message (Act.17.11). Many of the Bereans believed, including prominent Greek women and men. However, when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching in Berea, they came and stirred up trouble, forcing Paul to leave the city (Act.17.13-14).

David and the remaining four hundred men crossed the brook and eventually overtook the Amalekites, defeating them and recovering all that had been taken, including their families.

It was in Bethany that Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, performing one of His most significant miracles (Jhn.11.1-44). This event took place shortly before Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Jhn.12.1, 9-11). ¶Bethany was also the place where Jesus was anointed by Mary, who poured expensive perfume on His feet and wiped them with her hair (Matthew 26:6-13; Mrk.14.3-9; Jhn.12.1-8). This act of devotion took place in the house of Simon the leper, and it was criticized by Judas Iscariot as a waste of money. ¶In the Synoptic Gospels, Bethany is mentioned in connection with Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:1, 17; Mrk.11.1, 11-12; Luke 19:29). Jesus sent two of His disciples to Bethany to find a colt for Him to ride into Jerusalem, fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9. ¶After His resurrection, Jesus led His disciples out as far as Bethany before ascending into heaven (Luke 24:50-51). The village held a special place in Jesus' ministry, serving as a place of rest, friendship, and significant events. ¶In Jhn.1.28, a different Bethany is mentioned, which is specified as "Bethany beyond the Jordan." This Bethany was located on the eastern side of the Jordan River, where John the Baptist was baptizing people. It should not be confused with the Bethany near Jerusalem. $========== PLACE Beth-arabah@Jos.15.6-1Ch=H1026 Beth-arabah https://www.google.com/maps/@31.843320,35.506490,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.843320,35.506490 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.15.6;

However, in Joshua 18:18 and 18:22, Beth-arabah is mentioned as a town in the territory allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. ¶The exact location of Beth-arabah is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated in the Judean Desert, near the Dead Sea. The wilderness of Beth-arabah was one of the regions where the cities of Judah were located (Joshua 15:61). ¶The term "Arbathite" is used to describe Abi-albon, one of David's mighty men, in 2Sa.23.31 and 1Ch.11.32.

Some scholars believe that Beth-arbel may refer to the city of Arbela, located in the region of Galilee, which was known for its fortified caves. Others suggest that it might be a reference to the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III or Shalmaneser V, who were involved in campaigns against Israel and Judah. ¶The destruction of Beth-arbel is used by Hosea as an example of the impending judgment that would come upon Israel because of their unfaithfulness to God.

The name Beth-ashbea means "house of Ashbea" or "house of the oath" in Hebrew. ¶The mention of the families of the house of Ashbea and their fine linen work suggests that Beth-ashbea was known for its textile industry. Fine linen was a valuable commodity in ancient times, often used for clothing, bedding, and religious garments. ¶No other details about Beth-ashbea or the families of the house of Ashbea are provided in the Bible.

They then sent messengers throughout their land to proclaim the news in the temples of their idols and among the people. ¶As part of this victory celebration, the Philistines put Saul's armor in the temple of Ashtoreth at Beth-Ashtoreth. Ashtoreth, also known as Astarte, was a Canaanite goddess of love, fertility, and war, often associated with the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar and the Greek goddess Aphrodite. ¶The exact location of Beth-Ashtoreth is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely a significant Philistine city with a prominent temple dedicated to Ashtoreth. The placement of Saul's armor in the temple was a way for the Philistines to celebrate their victory over Israel and to attribute their success to their goddess. ¶The event also highlights the tragic end of Saul's reign and the humiliation that befell him and Israel as a result of their defeat at the hands of the Philistines.

In Joshua 7:2, Beth-aven is described as being east of Bethel and near the city of Ai. Spies were sent from Joshua's camp at Gilgal to Ai, and they reported that the city was small and could be easily defeated. However, when the Israelites attacked Ai, they were defeated because of the sin of Achan (Joshua 7:3-5). ¶In Joshua 18:12, Beth-aven is mentioned as part of the northern border of the territory allotted to the tribe of Benjamin, near Bethel. Later, in 1Sa.13.5, the Philistines gathered their forces at Michmash, east of Beth-aven, in preparation for battle against Israel. During this conflict, Saul's son Jonathan and his armor-bearer initiated an attack on the Philistine garrison, which led to a great victory for Israel (1Sa.14.1-23). ¶The prophets Hosea and Amos used Beth-aven as a derogatory term for Bethel, which had become a center of idolatry in Israel (Hosea 4:15; 5:8; 10:5).

In Ezra 2:24 and Nehemiah 7:28, the people of Beth-azmaveth are listed among those who returned to Judah with Zerubbabel. ¶The name Beth-azmaveth means "house of Azmaveth" or "house of the strong one of death" in Hebrew. Azmaveth was also the name of one of David's mighty men (2Sa.23.31; 1Ch.11.33), but it is unclear if there is any connection between the town and the individual. ¶In Nehemiah 12:29, Beth-azmaveth is mentioned again as one of the places where the Levites settled after returning from exile. The Levites were responsible for serving in the temple and assisting the priests in their duties. ¶The exact location of Beth-azmaveth is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated within the territory of Benjamin, north of Jerusalem.

The Ephraimites captured and killed the two Midianite princes, Oreb and Zeeb. ¶In Jhn.1.28, Bethabara is mentioned as the place where John the Baptist was baptizing people. This Bethabara is described as being "beyond the Jordan," indicating that it was on the eastern side of the Jordan River. Some manuscripts mention "Bethany" instead of "Bethabara" in this verse, which has led to some confusion. However, the Bethany mentioned here is not the same as the village near Jerusalem associated with Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. ¶The exact location of Beth-barah/Bethabara is uncertain, but it was likely a ford or crossing point along the Jordan River, possibly in the vicinity of the Jabbok River.

In the parallel list of Simeon's towns found in Joshua 19:4, the name Bethul appears instead of Beth-biri. This suggests that Beth-biri may have been an alternate name for Bethul or that the town's name changed over time. ¶The exact location of Beth-biri is not specified in the Bible, but it was within the territory of Simeon, which was located in the southern part of Canaan, within the larger allotment of the tribe of Judah.

The prophecy foretells the destruction of Damascus and the downfall of the Aramean rulers, including those associated with Beth-eden. ¶ $========== PLACE Beth-eked@2Ki.10.12-=H1044 Beth-eked= near Jezreel_2 (Jezreel@Jos.19.18-Hos=H3157H) https://www.google.com/maps/@32.5559631396043,35.33078927843792,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.5559631396043,35.33078927843792 > #A location near Jezreel first mentioned at 2Ki.10.12;

After Jehu had killed King Jehoram of Israel and King Ahaziah of Judah, he set out to eliminate any potential rivals to his claim to the throne. ¶On his way to Samaria, Jehu came to Beth-eked, where he encountered forty-two brothers of Ahaziah. These men were likely coming to visit the royal family in Samaria, unaware of the recent coup. Jehu ordered his men to take the brothers alive and then slaughter them at the pit of Beth-eked. The text emphasizes that Jehu killed all forty-two men, leaving none of them alive. ¶The exact location of Beth-eked is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated between Jezreel and Samaria, possibly serving as a resting place for travelers or a center for sheep-shearing. The name "Beth-eked" suggests that it may have been a place where sheep were bound for shearing. ¶Jehu's actions at Beth-eked were part of his larger campaign to eliminate the house of Ahab and establish himself as the new king of Israel.

(Multiple references, see article for details) @Article= Bethel, meaning "house of God" in Hebrew, was an important city in ancient Israel, located about 10 miles north of Jerusalem. It is mentioned numerous times throughout the Old Testament and is closely associated with the patriarchs Abraham and Israel (or 'Jacob'). ¶The city was originally called Luz (Genesis 28:19; 35:6; 48:3; Judges 1:23) and was renamed Bethel by Jacob after his vision of a ladder reaching to heaven (Genesis 28:10-22). In this vision, God confirmed the covenant He had made with Abraham and promised to be with Jacob wherever he went. Jacob set up a stone pillar at the site, anointed it with oil, and made a vow to God. ¶Abraham had previously built an altar between Bethel and Ai (Genesis 12:8; 13:3), and Jacob later returned to Bethel, where he built an altar and received a renewed promise from God (Genesis 35:1-15). The place was also called El-bethel, meaning "God of Bethel" (Genesis 35:7). ¶During the period of the judges, Deborah held court under a palm tree between Ramah and Bethel (Judges 4:5), and the Israelites went up to Bethel to seek guidance from God (Judges 20:18, 26; 21:2). The Ark of the Covenant was temporarily located at Bethel (Judges 20:27). ¶After the division of the kingdom, Jeroboam I set up a golden calf at Bethel to prevent the people from going to Jerusalem to worship (1Ki.12.28-33). This act led to Bethel becoming a major center of idolatry, and the prophets Amos and Hosea condemned the worship there (Amo.3.14; 4:4; 5:5-6; 7:10, 13; Hosea 10:5, 8, 15). ¶The city was called Aven, meaning "wickedness," by Hosea (Hosea 10:8) and Beth-aven, meaning "house of wickedness," in other passages (Joshua 7:2; 18:12; 1Sa.13.5; 14:23), likely referring to its association with idolatry. ¶Bethel was destroyed by King Josiah during his religious reforms (2Ki.23.4, 15-19) but was later resettled after the Babylonian exile (Ezra 2:28; Nehemiah 7:32; 11:31). ¶The city was also known as Bochim, meaning "weepers," in Judges 2:1, 5, where an angel of the Lord rebuked the Israelites for their disobedience. ¶Bethel played a significant role in Israel's history, serving as a place of worship, a center of idolatry, and a symbol of God's presence and promises to His people. $========== PLACE Bethel@Jos.19.4-1Ch=H1008H Bethel_2= same as Bethul (Bethul@Jos.19.4=H1329) or Bethuel Bethuel@1Ch.4.30=H1328B) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.244952,34.840888,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.244952,34.840888 Tribe of Simeon #A location near Beersheba first mentioned at Jos.12.16;

The name "Beth-emek" suggests that the town was located in or near a valley. ¶Asher's territory was located along the Mediterranean coast, north of the tribe of Manasseh and south of the Phoenician city of Tyre.

Some scholars suggest that "Bether" may not refer to a specific geographical location but rather serve as a symbolic or poetic term. ¶The word "Bether" comes from a Hebrew root meaning "to divide" or "to cut," which has led some interpreters to understand the phrase "mountains of Bether" as referring to "mountains of separation" or "cleft mountains." This interpretation would fit the context of the Song of Solomon, which explores themes of love, longing, and separation between the lovers. ¶In this view, the mountains of Bether represent the obstacles or distances that separate the lovers, and the beloved is invited to come swiftly, like a gazelle or young stag, to overcome these barriers. The imagery of the gazelle and stag also suggests the agility, grace, and strength needed to traverse the rugged terrain of the mountains. ¶Other interpretations propose that the mountains of Bether may refer to a specific location, possibly in the region of Lebanon or Anti-Lebanon, known for its rugged terrain and natural beauty.

(Jhn.5.2) @Article= Bethesda, also known as Bethzatha, was a pool located in Jerusalem, mentioned in the Gospel of John. The name Bethesda is derived from the Hebrew term meaning "house of mercy" or "house of grace," while Bethzatha comes from the Aramaic, meaning "house of olives" or "house of the olive tree." ¶The pool is described as having five roofed colonnades or porticoes, suggesting a structure with covered walkways surrounding the pool. It was located near the Sheep Gate, which was likely a gate in the northern wall of the city, used for bringing sheep into Jerusalem for sacrificial purposes. ¶In Jhn.5.1-15, Jesus visits the Pool of Bethesda and encounters a man who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. The man explains that he has been unable to enter the pool when the water is stirred up, as someone else always steps in before him. It was believed that an angel would periodically come down and stir up the water, and the first person to enter the pool after this would be healed of their infirmities. ¶Jesus, seeing the man and knowing his long-standing condition, asks him, "Do you want to get well?" The man responds by explaining his inability to enter the pool first. Jesus then commands him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk." Instantly, the man is healed, takes up his mat, and starts walking. ¶This miracle leads to a controversy, as it occurred on the Sabbath, and the Jewish leaders considered carrying a mat on the Sabbath to be a violation of the law. Jesus later finds the man in the temple and advises him to stop sinning, lest something worse happens to him. ¶The Pool of Bethesda is an example of Jesus' power to heal and his authority over the Sabbath. It also highlights the contrast between the man's long-standing infirmity and the instantaneous nature of Jesus' healing. ¶Archaeologists have uncovered a site near the Church of St. Anne in Jerusalem, which is believed to be the location of the Pool of Bethesda. The excavations revealed a pool with multiple porticoes, consistent with the biblical description. $========== PLACE Beth-ezel@Mic.1.11=H1018 Beth-ezel= near Shaphir (Shaphir@Mic.1.11=H8208) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.743719,34.694006,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.743719,34.694006 > #A location near Shaphir only mentioned at Mic.1.11;

(Micah 1:11) @Article= Beth-ezel is mentioned only once in the Bible, in the book of Micah, as part of a series of prophetic oracles against the towns and cities of Judah. The name Beth-ezel means "house of rootedness" or "house of proximity" in Hebrew, possibly indicating its close proximity to another significant location. ¶In Micah 1:11, the prophet declares, "Pass on your way, inhabitants of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame; the inhabitants of Zaanan do not come out; the lamentation of Beth-ezel shall take away from you its standing place." This verse is part of a passage that describes the judgment coming upon various cities in Judah, using wordplay and poetic imagery to convey the message. ¶The exact location of Beth-ezel is unknown, but based on the context of Micah's prophecy, it was likely situated in the Shephelah region, the western foothills of Judah, near the Philistine border. The towns mentioned in the surrounding verses, such as Shaphir, Zaanan, and Maroth, are also believed to be in this general area. ¶Micah's prophecy suggests that Beth-ezel would be unable to provide support or refuge to the inhabitants of the nearby town of Zaanan during the coming judgment. The phrase "the lamentation of Beth-ezel shall take away from you its standing place" indicates that Beth-ezel itself would be affected by the calamity and unable to offer assistance. ¶The prophecy against Beth-ezel and the other towns in Judah serves as a warning of the impending judgment due to the people's sins and a call to repentance and humility before God. The fate of Beth-ezel is tied to the larger narrative of God's judgment against Judah and the surrounding nations. $========== PERSON+PLACE Beth-gader@1Ch.2.51=H1013 Hareph@1Ch.2.51 + https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 Judea #A location in Judea only mentioned at 1Ch.2.51;

The exact location of Beth-gamul is unknown, but it was likely situated within the territory of Moab, east of the Dead Sea. ¶In the context of Jeremiah's prophecy, Beth-gamul is listed among other Moabite cities, such as Kiriathaim, Beth-meon, and Kerioth, which were to face destruction or capture by the Babylonians as a consequence of Moab's pride and idolatry. The prophecy declares that Moab will be destroyed and its cities will be laid waste, with no one to rebuild them. ¶The mention of Beth-gamul serves to emphasize the extent of the judgment against Moab, as even this relatively obscure town would not be spared from the coming destruction. The prophecy against Moab is part of a larger series of oracles against the nations surrounding Israel and Judah, demonstrating God's sovereignty and judgment over all nations. ¶ $========== PLACE Beth-haccherem@Neh.3.14-Jer=H1021 Beth-haccherem https://www.google.com/maps/@31.665911,35.241516,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.665911,35.241516 > #A location first mentioned at Neh.3.14;

In Nehemiah 3:14, it is listed as one of the sections of Jerusalem's wall that was repaired by Malchijah, the son of Rechab, who was the ruler of the district of Beth-haccherem. This suggests that Beth-haccherem was a town or region near Jerusalem, possibly located in the hill country of Judah. ¶In Jeremiah 6:1, the prophet warns the people of Benjamin to flee from Jerusalem and to raise a signal fire in Beth-haccherem, as disaster and great destruction were coming from the north. This warning comes in the context of the impending Babylonian invasion and the judgment that would befall Jerusalem and Judah. ¶The mention of raising a signal fire in Beth-haccherem suggests that the town may have been situated on a high point or had a watchtower that could be used to send signals to the surrounding areas. Signal fires were used in ancient times to warn of approaching danger or to communicate important messages quickly over long distances. ¶The reference in Nehemiah indicates that Beth-haccherem had a ruler or administrator, implying that it was a town of some significance. Its proximity to Jerusalem and its role in the defense system of the city further underscore its importance. ¶The location of the town remains uncertain. $========== PLACE Beth-haggan@2Ki.9.27=H1004H Beth-haggan= near Megiddo (Megiddo@Jos.12.21-Rev=H4023) https://www.google.com/maps/@32.58418313614938,35.18229165870594,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.58418313614938,35.18229165870594 > #A location near Megiddo only mentioned at 2Ki.9.27;

(2Ki.9.27) @Article= Beth-haggan, meaning "house of the garden" in Hebrew, is mentioned only once in the Bible, in 2Ki.9.27. The passage describes the events surrounding Jehu's coup against the house of Ahab and his pursuit of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, who was an ally of the Omride dynasty. ¶After Jehu had killed Joram, the king of Israel, he turned his attention to Ahaziah. When Ahaziah saw what had happened, he fled by the way of the garden house (Beth-haggan). Jehu pursued him and ordered his men to shoot Ahaziah in his chariot. Ahaziah was wounded and managed to escape to Megiddo, where he died. ¶The exact location of Beth-haggan is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated near Jezreel, the site of Joram's death. Jezreel was a significant city in the northern kingdom of Israel, serving as a royal residence for the Omride dynasty. ¶The mention of Beth-haggan as the place where Ahaziah fled suggests that it may have been a fortified location or a place of refuge. The name "house of the garden" may indicate the presence of a royal garden or a lush, well-watered area near Jezreel. ¶The death of Ahaziah at Megiddo, after fleeing from Beth-haggan, marked the end of his brief reign as king of Judah and solidified Jehu's position as the new ruler of Israel. This event also had significant implications for the relationship between the northern and southern kingdoms. $========== PLACE Beth-haram@Num.32.36-Jos=H1027 Beth-haram https://www.google.com/maps/@31.816667,35.583333,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.816667,35.583333 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.13.27;

The name Beth-haram means "house of the high place" or "house of the mountain" in Hebrew, possibly referring to its location on a hill or elevated area. ¶In Numbers 32:36, Beth-haran is mentioned as one of the towns that the Gadites built or fortified, along with Atroth-shophan, Jazer, Jogbehah, and other cities. This occurred after the Israelites had conquered the territories east of the Jordan and before they crossed the river to enter the Promised Land. ¶In Joshua 13:27, Beth-haram is listed among the towns allotted to the tribe of Gad in the Jordan Valley, along with Beth-nimrah and Succoth. This passage describes the extent of Gad's territory, which stretched from the Jabbok River in the south to the Sea of Chinnereth (Galilee) in the north. ¶The fortification of Beth-haram by the Gadites suggests that it was a strategically important town, possibly guarding a trade route or serving as a defensive outpost. Its location in the Jordan Valley would have made it a valuable agricultural area, benefiting from the fertile soil and the proximity to water sources. ¶No other details about Beth-haram are provided in the Bible, and the exact location of the town remains uncertain.

It is mentioned three times in the book of Joshua, always in the context of defining the boundaries of these two tribes. ¶In Joshua 15:6, Beth-hoglah is described as being part of the northern border of Judah, near the end of the Salt Sea (Dead Sea). The border went up to Beth-hoglah and passed north of it, indicating that the town itself was within Judah's territory. ¶In Joshua 18:19 and 21, Beth-hoglah is listed among the cities allotted to the tribe of Benjamin. The border of Benjamin is described as passing south of Beth-hoglah, confirming its location on the boundary between the two tribes. ¶The exact location of Beth-hoglah is not specified in the Bible, but based on the descriptions in Joshua, it was likely situated in the Jordan Valley, near the northern end of the Dead Sea. Its proximity to the Dead Sea and its location on the border between Judah and Benjamin suggest that it may have been an important town for trade, agriculture, or defense. ¶The name "house of the partridge" may refer to the presence of these birds in the area or to a local feature that resembled a partridge.

It is mentioned multiple times in the Bible, often in connection with its sister city, Upper Beth-horon. ¶The name Beth-horon means "house of caves" or "house of hollows" in Hebrew, possibly referring to the topography of the area. Lower Beth-horon was situated in a strategic location along the main road connecting the coastal plain with Jerusalem and the interior of the country. ¶In the book of Joshua, Lower Beth-horon is described as part of the border between Ephraim and Benjamin (Joshua 16:3; 18:13). It was allotted to the Kohathite clan of the Levites (Joshua 21:22; 1Ch.6.68). ¶The most famous biblical event associated with Lower Beth-horon is the battle between the Israelites and the Amorite kings, described in Joshua 10. As the Amorites fled before Israel, God cast down large hailstones on them, and Joshua prayed for the sun to stand still, allowing the Israelites to complete their victory (Joshua 10:10-11). ¶In later history, Lower Beth-horon was fortified by King Solomon (1Ki.9.17; 2Ch.8.5) and was the site of a battle between Judah and Israel during the reign of King Amaziah of Judah (2Ch.25.13). ¶The Philistines also used the Beth-horon road as one of their main routes for invading Israelite territory (1Sa.13.18). ¶Both Lower and Upper Beth-horon were rebuilt by Sheerah, the daughter of Ephraim (1Ch.7.24). ¶Today, the ancient site of Lower Beth-horon is identified with the modern Palestinian village of Beit Ur al-Tahta. $========== PLACE Beth-horon_Upper@Jos.16.5-2Ch=H1032H Upper Beth-horon https://www.google.com/maps/@31.85891795409998,35.12831317484221,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.85891795409998,35.12831317484221 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.16.5;

Upper Beth-horon was located at a higher elevation than Lower Beth-horon and was connected to it by a road known as the Ascent of Beth-horon. ¶In Joshua 16:5, Upper Beth-horon is mentioned as part of the description of Ephraim's border. The town was rebuilt by Sheerah, the daughter of Ephraim, along with Lower Beth-horon (1Ch.7.24). ¶During the reign of King Solomon, Upper Beth-horon was one of the cities he fortified as part of his building projects (2Ch.8.5). This fortification was likely due to the town's strategic location along the road connecting the coastal plain with the interior of the country. ¶Although Upper Beth-horon is mentioned less frequently in the Bible than Lower Beth-horon, its proximity to the latter and its inclusion in the list of fortified cities suggest that it played a significant role in the defense and administration of the region. ¶Today, the ancient site of Upper Beth-horon is identified with the modern Palestinian village of Beit Ur al-Foqa. $========== PLACE Beth-jeshimoth@Num.33.49-Ezk=H1020 Beth-jeshimoth https://www.google.com/maps/@31.77691134657884,35.59865748950166,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.77691134657884,35.59865748950166 > #A location first mentioned at Num.33.49;

The camp extended from Beth-jeshimoth to Abel-shittim. ¶After the conquest of Canaan, Beth-jeshimoth was part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Reuben (Joshua 13:20).

(Multiple references, see article for details) @Article= Bethlehem, also known as Ephrath or Ephrathah, is a city located in the hill country of Judah, approximately 5 miles south of Jerusalem. The name Bethlehem means "house of bread," while Ephrath or Ephrathah means "fruitful." ¶Bethlehem is first mentioned in the Bible as the burial place of Rachel, Jacob's wife (Genesis 35:19; 48:7). It was also the hometown of Ibzan, one of the judges of Israel (Judges 12:8, 10). ¶During the period of the judges, a Levite from Bethlehem became a priest for Micah's idolatrous shrine (Judges 17:7-9). Later, a Levite from Bethlehem traveled to Gibeah, where his concubine was mistreated, leading to a war between the Israelites and the Benjamites (Judges 19:1-2, 18). ¶The book of Ruth is set primarily in Bethlehem, where Naomi and her family were from (Ruth 1:1-2, 19, 22). Boaz, who married Ruth, was also from Bethlehem (Ruth 2:4; 4:11). ¶Bethlehem is most famously known as the hometown of King David (1Sa.16.1, 18; 17:12, 15; 20:6, 28). It was in Bethlehem that Samuel anointed David as the future king of Israel (1Sa.16.4). During David's reign, the city was referred to as the "city of David" (Luke 2:4, 11). ¶Several of David's mighty men, including Abishai and Elhanan, were from Bethlehem (2Sa.23.24; 1Ch.11.26; 2Sa.21.19). ¶In the New Testament, Bethlehem is celebrated as the birthplace of Jesus Christ (Matthew 2:1, 5-6, 8, 16; Luke 2:4, 15; Jhn.7.42). The Magi visited Jesus in Bethlehem, and King Herod ordered the massacre of the innocents there in an attempt to kill the newborn king (Matthew 2:16). ¶The prophet Micah foretold that the Messiah would come from Bethlehem (Micah 5:2), and this prophecy is cited in Matthew 2:5-6. $========== PLACE Bethlehem@Jos.19.15=H1035H Bethlehem_2 https://www.google.com/maps/@32.735379,35.189704,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.735379,35.189704 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.19.15;

This Bethlehem was located in the territory allotted to the tribe of Zebulun during the division of the Promised Land. ¶The name Bethlehem means "house of bread" in Hebrew, suggesting that the area was known for its fertility or grain production. The town is listed among other cities in Zebulun's inheritance, such as Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem, indicating its geographical proximity to these places. ¶Zebulun's territory was located in the northern part of Canaan, in the region of Galilee. The exact location of this Bethlehem is uncertain, but it was likely situated within the boundaries of Zebulun, which stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. ¶No other information about this Bethlehem is provided in the Bible, and it is not mentioned in any other historical or archaeological context. Its inclusion in the list of Zebulun's towns serves to distinguish it from the Bethlehem in Judah and to provide a more complete picture of the tribal allotments in the Promised Land. $========== PLACE Beth-merchak@2Sa.15.17=H1023 Beth-lebaoth= near Madmannah (Madmannah@Jos.15.31-1Ch=H4089G) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.391668,34.940502,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.391668,34.940502 > #A location near Madmannah only mentioned at 2Sa.15.17;

(Judges 9:6, 20) @Article= Beth-millo, meaning "house of the filling" or "house of the rampart" in Hebrew, was a fortified place or citadel within the city of Shechem, in the hill country of Ephraim. It is mentioned in the context of Abimelech's rise to power and his subsequent conflict with the people of Shechem. ¶In Judges 9:6, the men of Shechem and Beth-millo gathered together to make Abimelech, the son of Gideon (Jerubbaal), king over them. This event took place by the terebinth tree at the pillar in Shechem, suggesting that Beth-millo was a significant part of the city and that its inhabitants had a say in the selection of their ruler. ¶However, the relationship between Abimelech and the people of Shechem and Beth-millo deteriorated over time. In Judges 9:20, Jotham, Abimelech's half-brother, prophesied that fire would come from Abimelech to devour the men of Shechem and Beth-millo and that fire would come from them to devour Abimelech. This prophecy came true when the men of Shechem turned against Abimelech and he, in turn, destroyed the city and killed its inhabitants (Judges 9:23-49). ¶The exact nature and location of Beth-millo within Shechem are not specified in the Bible. Some scholars suggest that it may have been a fortified citadel or a residential area for the city's upper class. Others propose that it could have been a part of the city's defensive structures, such as a filled-in rampart or a tower. ¶The story of Abimelech and Beth-millo highlights the political instability and power struggles that characterized the period of the judges in Israel's history. It also demonstrates the consequences of making alliances with those who do not follow God's ways. $========== PLACE Beth-nimrah@Num.32.36-Jos=H1039 Beth-nimrah https://www.google.com/maps/@31.900811,35.625693,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.900811,35.625693 > #A location first mentioned at Num.32.36;

It is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness and the events leading up to their entry into the Promised Land. ¶In Deu.3.29, Beth-peor is mentioned as the place where the Israelites camped before Moses delivered his final discourses to the people. The text specifies that they stayed in the valley opposite Beth-peor. ¶Deu.4.46 again refers to Beth-peor as the location where Moses spoke to the Israelites, giving them the statutes and judgments that they were to observe in the land they were about to enter. ¶The most significant event associated with Beth-peor is the death and burial of Moses. In Deu.34.6, it is recorded that Moses died in the land of Moab and was buried in a valley opposite Beth-peor. However, the exact location of his grave remains unknown, as the text states that "no one knows his grave to this day." ¶In Joshua 13:20, Beth-peor is mentioned as part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Reuben, along with other cities in the plains of Moab. ¶The name Beth-peor suggests that the place was associated with the worship of the Moabite god Peor. This connection is further supported by the events recorded in Numbers 25, where the Israelites engaged in idolatry and sexual immorality with the Moabites, worshipping Baal of Peor. As a result, a plague struck the Israelites, and Moses was commanded to execute the leaders of the people. ¶The location of Beth-peor is not precisely known, but it was likely situated in the vicinity of Mount Nebo, from where Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death (Deu.34.1-4). $========== PLACE Bethphage@Mat.21.1-Luk=G0967 Bethphage https://www.google.com/maps/@31.79038300543012,35.25667232374259,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.79038300543012,35.25667232374259 > #A location first mentioned at Mat.21.1;

It is mentioned in the Synoptic Gospels in connection with Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. ¶In Matthew 21:1, Mrk.11.1, and Luke 19:29, Jesus and His disciples approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives. It was from Bethphage that Jesus sent two of His disciples to retrieve a donkey and a colt, on which He would ride into Jerusalem, fulfilling the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9. ¶The fact that Bethphage is mentioned alongside Bethany suggests that the two villages were in close proximity to each other. Bethany is known as the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the dead (Jhn.11.1, 38-44). ¶The exact location of Bethphage is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives, near the road leading from Jericho to Jerusalem. Its name, "house of unripe figs," may refer to the presence of fig trees in the area or to a local feature associated with the cultivation or processing of figs. ¶Bethphage's significance in the Gospels lies in its role as the starting point for Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, which marked the beginning of the events leading up to His crucifixion and resurrection.

It is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' conquest of Canaan and later during the reign of King David. ¶In Numbers 13:21, the spies sent by Moses to explore Canaan are said to have gone as far north as Rehob, near Lebo-hamath. This suggests that Rehob was located in the northernmost part of the Promised Land, close to the entrance of Hamath, a major city in Syria. ¶In Judges 18:28, Rehob is mentioned as a reference point to describe the location of Laish, a city that the Danites conquered and renamed Dan. The text states that Laish was situated near Beth-rehob, indicating the proximity of the two places. ¶During the reign of King David, Beth-rehob played a role in the conflict between Israel and the Ammonites. In 2Sa.10.6, the Ammonites, facing an impending attack from David's army, hired Aramean mercenaries from various regions, including Beth-rehob, to help them in battle. The Arameans of Beth-rehob, along with those from Zobah, provided 20,000 foot soldiers to support the Ammonites. ¶In the subsequent battle at Helam (2Sa.10.8), the Arameans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, together with the Ammonites, faced David's army, led by Joab and Abishai. The Israelites defeated the Arameans and Ammonites, and the Arameans made peace with Israel, fearing to help the Ammonites any further. ¶The exact location of Beth-rehob is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the region of Aram, north of Israel, possibly in the area known as the Beqaa Valley in modern-day Lebanon. Its association with the Arameans and its proximity to Hamath suggest that it was an important city or region in the Aramean kingdom. $========== PLACE Bethsaida@Mat.11.21-Jhn=G0966 Bethsaida https://www.google.com/maps/@32.90784828392077,35.62697295608815,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.90784828392077,35.62697295608815 > #A location first mentioned at Mat.11.21;

It was the hometown of the disciples Philip, Andrew, and Peter (Jhn.1.44, 12:21). Jesus visited Bethsaida during His ministry and performed several miracles there, including healing a blind man (Mrk.8.22-26). Bethsaida was one of the cities, along with Chorazin and Capernaum, that Jesus rebuked for their unbelief despite the mighty works He had done in their midst (Matthew 11:21, Luke 10:13). After the miraculous feeding of the five thousand, Jesus instructed His disciples to cross over to Bethsaida while He dismissed the crowd (Mrk.6.45). The exact location of Bethsaida is debated, but it was likely situated near where the Jordan River enters the Sea of Galilee. Bethsaida's name derives from the Hebrew for "house of fishing" or "house of hunting," reflecting its primary industry. The Bible portrays Bethsaida as a place of great spiritual opportunity that largely failed to respond to Jesus' message and miracles. $========== PLACE Beth-shean@Jos.17.11-1Ch=H1052 Beth-shan https://www.google.com/maps/@32.5042384550589,35.50307739108582,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.5042384550589,35.50307739108582 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.17.11;

(Multiple references, see article for details) @Article= Beth-shean, also known as Beth-shan, was a city located in the territory allotted to the tribe of Manasseh, although it was situated within the borders of Issachar. The city was strategically positioned at the junction of the Jezreel and Jordan Valleys, controlling access to the Jezreel Valley from the east. ¶In Joshua 17:11 and 16, Beth-shean is listed among the cities and towns within Manasseh's inheritance that were not fully conquered by the Israelites. The Manassites were unable to drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its villages, and the Canaanites persisted in dwelling in the land. ¶Judges 1:27 reiterates that Manasseh did not drive out the people of Beth-shean and its villages, and the Canaanites continued to live there. ¶During the reign of King Solomon, Beth-shean was included in the fifth administrative district overseen by Baana, son of Ahilud (1Ki.4.12). The city's inclusion in this list suggests its ongoing importance and the presence of a significant Israelite population. ¶The most notable event associated with Beth-shean in the Bible is the aftermath of the battle between the Israelites and the Philistines at Mount Gilboa. In 1Sa.31.10-12, after Saul and his sons were killed in battle, the Philistines fastened their bodies to the wall of Beth-shean. When the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard about this, they travelled through the night, took down the bodies, and buried them in Jabesh. ¶Later, during David's reign, the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan were retrieved from Jabesh-gilead and buried in the tomb of Saul's father, Kish, in Benjamin (2Sa.21.12-14). ¶Beth-shean's strategic location made it a target for conquest throughout history. The city was eventually captured by the Egyptians and later by the Assyrians. It was known as Scythopolis during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, serving as the leading city of the Decapolis, a group of ten Hellenistic cities in the region. $========== PLACE Beth-shemesh@Jos.15.10-2Ch=H1053G Beth-shemesh_1 https://www.google.com/maps/@31.75274835811488,34.97660913147738,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.75274835811488,34.97660913147738 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.15.10;

It was allotted to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:10) and later given to the Levites of the family of Aaron (Joshua 21:16; 1Ch.6.59). ¶Beth-shemesh is primarily known for its association with the return of the Ark of the Covenant from the Philistines (1 Samuel 6). After the Ark had been captured by the Philistines, they sent it back on a cart, guided by two milk cows. The cows miraculously went straight to Beth-shemesh, where the people were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley (1Sa.6.9, 12-13). ¶The men of Beth-shemesh rejoiced when they saw the Ark, offering the cows as a burnt offering and sacrificing to the Lord (1Sa.6.14-15). However, some of the men looked inside the Ark, and as a result, God struck down 70 men (some manuscripts say 50,070) for their irreverence (1Sa.6.19-20). ¶During the reign of King Solomon, Beth-shemesh was included in the second administrative district overseen by Ben-Deker (1Ki.4.9). ¶Later, during the reign of King Amaziah of Judah, a battle took place between Amaziah and King Jehoash of Israel at Beth-shemesh. Amaziah was defeated and captured by Jehoash, who then proceeded to break down a section of the wall of Jerusalem (2Ki.14.11-13; 2Ch.25.21-23). ¶In the time of King Ahaz of Judah, the Philistines invaded the cities of the Shephelah, including Beth-shemesh, capturing and occupying them (2Ch.28.18). ¶The city of Beth-shemesh is also mentioned in Judges 1:35, where it is stated that the Amorites persisted in dwelling in Mount Heres, Aijalon, and Shaalbim, but the hand of the house of Joseph rested heavily on them, and they became subject to forced labor.

The people of Beth-togarmah are described as supplying horses, war horses, and mules to the markets of Tyre. This suggests that Beth-togarmah was known for its livestock, particularly horses, and that it had a significant role in the ancient Near Eastern trade network. ¶The exact location of Beth-togarmah is uncertain, but it is generally associated with the region of Armenia or Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). Some scholars propose that the name "Beth-togarmah" may be related to the Anatolian city of Tegarama, known from Hittite texts, or to the Armenian city of Tilgarimmu, mentioned in Assyrian records. ¶In Ezk.38.6, Beth-togarmah is mentioned again, this time in the context of a prophetic vision about a future invasion of Israel by a coalition of nations led by Gog, from the land of Magog. Beth-togarmah is described as being "from the far north," along with Gomer and its troops, suggesting a geographical location north of Israel. This prophecy portrays Beth-togarmah as one of the allies of Gog in the latter days, participating in the attack on Israel. ¶The prophecy in Ezekiel 38-39 is often interpreted as a symbolic representation of the final battle between the forces of good and evil, with Gog and its allies representing the nations that oppose God and His people.

It was one of the towns allotted to Judah during the division of the Promised Land (Joshua 15:58). ¶Beth-zur was associated with Maon, as Maon was the father of Beth-zur (1Ch.2.45). This may suggest that Beth-zur was founded by the descendants of Maon or that it was a satellite settlement of Maon. ¶During the reign of King Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, Beth-zur was one of the cities fortified for the defense of Judah (2Ch.11.7). This fortification was part of Rehoboam's strategy to strengthen his kingdom against potential threats from the northern tribes of Israel and neighboring nations. ¶Later, in the time of Nehemiah, after the return from the Babylonian exile, Beth-zur was one of the towns whose walls were repaired (Nehemiah 3:16). The mention of Beth-zur in this context suggests that it had been inhabited before the exile and was being restored as part of the rebuilding of Judah. ¶The exact location of Beth-zur is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the southern part of the hill country of Judah, possibly near the ancient city of Hebron.

One choir went past the Broad Wall to the Ephraim Gate (Nehemiah 12:38), indicating that the Broad Wall was located in the northern part of the city, possibly near the Temple area. ¶The Broad Wall's construction and repair were part of Nehemiah's efforts to restore Jerusalem's defenses and rebuild the city after the Babylonian exile.

The Brook of Egypt is generally identified with the Wadi el-Arish, a seasonal stream that flows into the Mediterranean Sea near the modern border between Israel and Egypt. ¶In Joshua 13:3, Shihor is described as being "east of Egypt," suggesting that it was a separate body of water from the Nile River. However, in Isaiah 23:3, Shihor seems to be associated with the Nile, possibly referring to one of its eastern branches. The Brook of Egypt served not only as a geographical boundary but also as a symbol of the extent of God's promise to Israel and the limit of their conquest.

The context suggests that it was a boundary of Moab's territory, possibly in the south near the border with Edom. The exact location of the Brook of the Willows is uncertain, but some scholars identify it with the Wadi Zered, a seasonal stream that flows into the Dead Sea from the east. ¶Isaiah's prophecy describes the devastation that would come upon Moab, causing its people to flee and carry their possessions to the Brook of the Willows. The mention of this brook highlights the extent of Moab's territory and the severity of the judgment that would force them to flee to their borders. The name "Brook of the Willows" may indicate the presence of willow trees along its banks, which could have provided shelter for the fleeing Moabites. $========== PLACE Buz@Jer.25.23=H0938I Buz= near Dedan (Dedan@Isa.21.13-Ezk=H1719A) https://www.google.com/maps/@26.625139,37.919663,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@26.625139,37.919663 > #A location near Dedan only mentioned at Jer.25.23;

The tribe of Buz is listed alongside Dedan, Tema, and the kings of the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert. This suggests that Buz was a nomadic or semi-nomadic tribe inhabiting the Arabian desert, possibly in the region east of the Jordan River. ¶The name Buz may be derived from Buz, the son of Nahor and nephew of Abraham (Genesis 22:21), indicating that the tribe descended from him. However, this connection is not explicitly stated in the Bible. Jeremiah's prophecy implies that the tribe of Buz, along with other Arabian tribes, would suffer the consequences of their sins and face God's judgment. The inclusion of Buz in this prophecy highlights the far-reaching scope of God's judgment and the accountability of all nations before Him. $========== PLACE Cabbon@Jos.15.40=H3522 Cabbon= near Eglon (Eglon@Jos.10.3-=H5700G) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.5,34.7667,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.5,34.7667 > #A location near Eglon only mentioned at Jos.15.40;

Solomon had received gold, cedar, and cypress wood from Hiram for the construction of the Temple and his palace. In return, Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. However, when Hiram visited the cities, he was displeased with them and called them "Cabul," which means "good for nothing" or "like nothing." ¶The exact location and identity of these cities are not specified in the Bible. Some scholars suggest that they may have been located in the northern part of Israel, near the border with Tyre. The story highlights the relationship between Solomon and Hiram, as well as the exchange of resources and territories between their kingdoms. It also shows that not all gifts or transactions were satisfactory to both parties involved. $========== PLACE Cabul@Jos.19.27=H3521G Cabul_1 https://www.google.com/maps/@32.865661,35.211814,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.865661,35.211814 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.19.27;

It was built by Herod the Great between 22 and 10 BC and named in honor of Augustus Caesar. Caesarea served as the capital of the Roman province of Judea and the official residence of the Roman governors. ¶In the New Testament, Caesarea is mentioned several times in the book of Acts. Philip the evangelist settled in Caesarea after baptizing the Ethiopian eunuch (Act.8.40). The apostle Peter visited Caesarea and preached to the Gentile centurion Cornelius, leading to his conversion (Act.10.1-48). Paul passed through Caesarea on his missionary journeys (Act.9.30; 18:22) and was later imprisoned there for two years before being sent to Rome for trial (Act.23.23-26:32). ¶Caesarea was known for its impressive harbor, which was constructed using advanced Roman engineering techniques. The city also featured a temple dedicated to Augustus, an amphitheater, a hippodrome, and a Roman aqueduct. As a center of Roman administration and a hub for trade, Caesarea played a significant role in the early spread of Christianity and the interaction between the Jewish and Gentile believers. $========== PLACE Caesarea_Philippi@Mat.16.13-Mrk=G2542G Caesarea Philippi https://www.google.com/maps/@33.2480599128704,35.69463725353769,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.2480599128704,35.69463725353769 > #A location first mentioned at Mat.16.13;

It is mentioned in the New Testament as the place where Jesus asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" (Matthew 16:13; Mrk.8.27). In response, Simon Peter acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16). ¶The city was originally known as Paneas, named after the Greek god Pan. It was later rebuilt and renamed Caesarea Philippi by Philip the Tetrarch, son of Herod the Great, in honor of himself and the Roman emperor. The city was known for its temple dedicated to Pan and its proximity to a large spring that fed the Jordan River. ¶Jesus' conversation with his disciples at Caesarea Philippi marked a turning point in his ministry. It was here that he began to reveal more openly his identity as the Messiah and his impending death and resurrection (Matthew 16:21; Mrk.8.31). The location, with its pagan associations and Gentile population, also symbolized the expanding mission of the gospel beyond the Jewish people. $========== PLACE Calah@Gen.10.11-=H3625 Calah https://www.google.com/maps/@36.142884,43.312178,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@36.142884,43.312178 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.10.11;

It was located along the Tigris River, south of Nineveh, in what is now northern Iraq. Calah, together with Nineveh and Resen, formed a complex of major Assyrian cities known for their power and influence in the ancient Near East. ¶The city of Calah served as the capital of the Assyrian Empire during the reigns of several powerful kings, including Ashurnasirpal II and Tiglath-pileser III. It was known for its impressive palaces, temples, and artistic achievements. Archaeological excavations at the site, known today as Nimrud, have uncovered significant remains of the ancient city, including royal inscriptions, reliefs, and statues. ¶In the Bible, Calah is mentioned only in the context of Nimrod's kingdom and the early development of Assyria.

It is also referred to in the prophetic books of Amos (6:2) and Isaiah (10:9) as a city of significance, and in Ezekiel (27:23) as a trading partner of Tyre. ¶The exact location of Calneh is uncertain, but it is generally believed to have been situated in Mesopotamia, in the region of Babylonia or Assyria. Some scholars identify it with the ancient city of Kullania or Kullanhu, known from Assyrian inscriptions, which was located near the Tigris River. ¶In the Bible, Calneh is mentioned alongside other notable cities such as Babel, Erech, and Accad, suggesting its importance in the ancient Near Eastern world. The prophet Amos used Calneh as an example of a great city that had fallen, warning Israel of impending judgment (Amo.6.2). Similarly, Isaiah mentioned Calneh in the context of Assyria's conquests and its arrogance against God (Isaiah 10:9). ¶Ezekiel's reference to Calneh as a trading partner of Tyre (Ezk.27.23) indicates that the city was involved in commercial activities and had established economic ties with other major centers in the region. ¶Although the biblical references to Calneh are brief, they suggest that it was a city of considerable significance in ancient Mesopotamia, known for its political, economic, and cultural importance.

As a region, Canaan was the ancient name for the area between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, roughly corresponding to modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and parts of Syria and Jordan. It was the land God promised to give to Abraham and his descendants (Genesis 12:5-7; 17:8). ¶The Canaanites were the descendants of Canaan, the grandson of Noah through Ham (Genesis 10:18-19). They were known for their idolatry and wickedness, which led to God commanding the Israelites to drive them out of the land (Deu.20.17). The term "Canaanite" was also used to refer to merchants or traders (Job.41.6; Proverbs 31:24), possibly due to their reputation for trading. ¶After the Exodus, the Israelites conquered parts of Canaan under Joshua's leadership, but they failed to completely drive out the Canaanites (Judges 1:27-36). This led to ongoing conflicts and religious influences throughout Israel's history. The prophets often rebuked Israel for adopting Canaanite practices and worshipping their gods (Ezk.16.3). $========== PLACE Capernaum@Mat.4.13-Jhn=G2584 Capernaum https://www.google.com/maps/@32.88059412581622,35.57515767479308,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.88059412581622,35.57515767479308 > #A location first mentioned at Mat.4.13;

It served as a base for Jesus' ministry in the region and is mentioned frequently in the Gospels. After being rejected in Nazareth, Jesus made Capernaum his home (Matthew 4:13) and performed many miracles there, including healing a centurion's servant (Matthew 8:5-13) and Peter's mother-in-law (Mrk.1.29-31). ¶Jesus taught in the synagogue at Capernaum (Mrk.1.21; Jhn.6.59) and called several of his disciples, such as Peter, Andrew, James, and John, from the village (Mrk.1.16-20). Despite the numerous miracles and teachings, the people of Capernaum did not repent, leading Jesus to rebuke the city for its unbelief (Matthew 11:23; Luke 10:15). ¶The ruins of ancient Capernaum have been excavated, revealing the remains of a synagogue dating to the 4th or 5th century AD, built on the foundation of an earlier synagogue from the time of Jesus.

According to Amo.9.7, the Philistines originated from Caphtor, and Jeremiah 47:4 refers to "the remnant of the country of Caphtor," linking the Philistines to this island. ¶In Deu.2.23, the Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, are described as destroying the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza, and settling in their place. This suggests that the Philistines, who are known to have settled in the coastal region of Canaan, trace their ancestry back to Caphtor. ¶In the New Testament, Crete is mentioned several times in connection with the apostle Paul's travels. During his journey to Rome, Paul's ship sailed along the southern coast of Crete (Act.27.7-13), and they sought to winter in the Cretan harbor of Phoenix (Act.27.12). After the ship encountered a storm and was wrecked on the island of Malta, Paul continued his journey and eventually passed by Crete again (Act.27.21). ¶Paul also left his companion Titus on Crete to organize the church and appoint elders in every town (Titus 1:5). In his letter to Titus, Paul quotes a Cretan prophet who described Cretans as "always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons" (Titus 1:12), indicating the challenges Titus faced in ministering to the people of Crete. ¶On the day of Pentecost, Cretans were among the people present in Jerusalem who heard the apostles speaking in their own languages (Act.2.11). $========== PLACE Cappadocia@Act.2.9-1Pe=G2587 Cappadocia https://www.google.com/maps/@36.731904,35.486302,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@36.731904,35.486302 > #A location first mentioned at Act.2.9;

It is mentioned twice in the New Testament. In Act.2.9, Cappadocians were among the people present in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended upon the apostles. This suggests that there were Jewish inhabitants from Cappadocia who had come to Jerusalem for the feast. ¶In 1Pe.1.1, the apostle Peter addresses his letter to the "pilgrims of the Dispersion," including those in Cappadocia, indicating the presence of Christian believers in the region. These believers were likely converts from the Jewish diaspora and Gentile proselytes. ¶Cappadocia was known for its unique geological features, including underground cities and rock-cut churches, many of which were used by early Christians as hiding places during times of persecution. The region played a significant role in the early history of Christianity and was home to several important church fathers, such as Basil the Great and Gregory of Nazianzus. $========== PLACE Carchemish@2Ch.35.20-Jer=H3751 Carchemish https://www.google.com/maps/@36.82928161099629,38.01576051001015,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@36.82928161099629,38.01576051001015 > #A location first mentioned at 2Ch.35.20;

It is mentioned three times in the Bible, all in the context of significant historical events. In 2Ch.35.20, King Josiah of Judah confronted Pharaoh Necho of Egypt at Carchemish, resulting in Josiah's death. ¶Isaiah 10:9 mentions Carchemish as one of the cities conquered by the Assyrians, along with Calno, Arpad, Hamath, and Samaria, illustrating the extent of Assyrian power. In Jeremiah 46:2, the prophet describes the decisive battle at Carchemish between the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar and the Egyptians in 605 BC. The Babylonian victory marked the end of Egyptian influence in the region and the beginning of Babylonian supremacy. ¶Archaeologically, Carchemish has been identified with the modern site of Karkamış in southeastern Turkey.

It is mentioned several times in the Bible, particularly in relation to David's life. Carmel was the home of Nabal, a wealthy but foolish man who refused to assist David and his men (1Sa.25.2-11). Nabal's wife, Abigail, intervened and provided for David's needs, demonstrating her wisdom and resourcefulness (1Sa.25.14-35). ¶After Nabal's death, David married Abigail, and she became one of his wives (1Sa.25.40-42). Later, when David was fleeing from Saul, he sent his two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, to stay in Carmel (1Sa.27.3). The town is also mentioned in the list of places that received spoils from David's victory over the Amalekites (1Sa.30.29). ¶In the Song of Solomon, the beauty of the bride's head is compared to Mount Carmel (Sng.7.5), likely referring to the lush vegetation and majesty of the mountain.

It is most famously associated with the prophet Elijah and his confrontation with the prophets of Baal (1Ki.18.19-40). On Mount Carmel, Elijah challenged the people of Israel to choose between the Lord and Baal, and he demonstrated the power of the true God by calling down fire from heaven. ¶After the contest, Elijah slaughtered the prophets of Baal at the Brook Kishon (1Ki.18.40) and then went to the top of Mount Carmel to pray for rain, ending a three-year drought (1Ki.18.42-45). The mountain is also mentioned in 2Ki.2.25 and 4:25, in connection with the prophet Elisha, who was Elijah's successor. ¶Mount Carmel's lush vegetation and beauty made it a symbol of fertility and God's blessing in the Bible (Isaiah 35:2; Jeremiah 50:19; Amo.9.3). The mountain's strategic location and natural resources also made it a place of military and political significance throughout history. $========== PLACE Casiphia@Ezr.8.17=H3703 Casiphia= near Hamath (Hamath@Num.13.21-Zec=H2574G) https://www.google.com/maps/@35.136204,36.749488,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@35.136204,36.749488 > #A location near Hamath first mentioned at Ezr.8.17;

During the reign of the Persian king Artaxerxes, Ezra led a group of Jews back to Jerusalem to restore worship at the temple. At the river Ahava, Ezra discovered that there were no Levites among the returning exiles (Ezra 8:15). ¶Ezra then sent a delegation to Casiphia, where a man named Iddo was the leader, to request that Levites be sent to join the returning group (Ezra 8:17). In response to this request, a number of Levites and temple servants were sent from Casiphia to accompany Ezra and the other exiles to Jerusalem (Ezra 8:18-20). ¶The exact location of Casiphia is unknown, but it was likely a settlement in Babylon where a community of Levites lived during the exile.

As they were being driven along by the wind, they passed to the south of a small island called Cauda. ¶The crew used this brief respite from the storm to secure the ship's lifeboat and undergird the ship with ropes to strengthen it against the battering waves (Act.27.16-17). This measure was taken to prevent the ship from being run aground on the nearby Syrtis Sands, a notorious sandbar off the coast of North Africa. ¶Cauda is a small island located south of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea.

It served as the port for Corinth's trade with Asia Minor and the East. Cenchreae is mentioned twice in the Bible, both in connection with Paul's ministry. ¶In Act.18.18, Paul departed from Corinth and sailed from Cenchreae to Syria, after having his hair cut due to a vow he had taken. This vow was likely a Nazirite vow (Numbers 6:1-21), which involved abstaining from cutting one's hair until the vow was completed. Paul's actions at Cenchreae indicate his continued observance of Jewish customs and his commitment to his Jewish heritage. ¶In Romans 16:1-2, Paul commends Phoebe, a deaconess of the church in Cenchreae, to the believers in Rome. He describes her as a servant of the church and a benefactor to many, including Paul himself.

The Chaldeans were known for their expertise in astrology, astronomy, and other forms of wisdom. In the Bible, the term "Chaldean" is sometimes used synonymously with "Babylonian" or to refer specifically to astrologers and wise men from Babylon. ¶The Chaldeans played a significant role in the history of Israel, particularly during the Babylonian exile. In 605 BC, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, conquered Judah and deported many of its inhabitants to Chaldea (2Ki.24.1-2). The prophet Jeremiah warned the people of Judah about the impending Chaldean invasion and the 70-year exile that would follow (Jeremiah 25:11-12). ¶During the exile, some Jews, such as Daniel and his companions, were chosen to serve in the Chaldean court due to their wisdom and knowledge (Dan.1.3-4). The Chaldeans are also mentioned in connection with the interpretation of dreams and visions (Dan.2.2-10; 4:7; 5:7-11). ¶The Chaldeans were also known for their military might and their role in the destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC (2Ki.25.1-10). However, the prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah foretold the eventual downfall of Chaldea at the hands of the Medes and Persians (Isaiah 13:19; 47:1-5; Jeremiah 50:1-51:64). $========== PLACE Chebar@Ezk.1.1-=H3529 Chebar https://www.google.com/maps/@33.159129,44.062930,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.159129,44.062930 > #A location first mentioned at Ezk.1.1;

It was a waterway located in Babylonia, near the city of Nippur, where the prophet Ezekiel and other Jewish exiles were settled during the Babylonian captivity. ¶Ezekiel received his prophetic call and many of his visions while residing by the Chebar River (Ezk.1.1, 3). It was there that he saw the vision of the four living creatures and the throne of God (Ezk.1.1-28). Later, Ezekiel was transported in visions to Jerusalem, where he witnessed the idolatry and abominations being committed in the temple (Ezk.8.1-18). ¶The Chebar River is also mentioned in connection with the elders of Judah who came to consult Ezekiel (Ezk.3.15) and the vision of the cherubim and the glory of God departing from the temple (Ezk.10.15-22). ¶The exact location of the Chebar River is uncertain, but it was likely a navigable canal or tributary of the Euphrates River. The settlement of Jewish exiles by the river suggests that it was an area suitable for agriculture and sustaining a population.

Joshua and the leaders of Israel made a treaty with them without consulting the Lord, only to discover later that the Gibeonites were actually their neighbors. ¶As a result of the treaty, the Gibeonites were spared but were assigned to serve as woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation and the altar of the Lord (Joshua 9:27). Chephirah, along with the other Gibeonite cities, was initially allotted to the tribe of Benjamin (Joshua 18:26) but later became part of the territory of Judah. ¶After the Babylonian exile, the descendants of the Gibeonites, including those from Chephirah, returned to their cities and were counted among the people of Israel (Ezra 2:25; Nehemiah 7:29).

In these passages, Cherub is listed along with other places, such as Tel-melah and Tel-harsha, as the hometowns of some of the returning exiles. ¶These exiles were unable to prove their lineage as Israelites or to trace their ancestry to specific families. This suggests that during the Babylonian captivity, some Jews may have settled in Cherub and other nearby towns, and over time, their family records were lost or destroyed. ¶The exact location of Cherub is unknown, but it was likely a small town or village in Babylonia, where a community of Jewish exiles had lived during the captivity. The name "Cherub" may be derived from the Akkadian word "kāribu," which means "intercessor" or "one who blesses," possibly indicating a religious significance of the town in Babylonian culture. ¶The mention of Cherub in the lists of returning exiles highlights the challenges faced by some Jews in proving their heritage and the diversity of locations from which they returned to rebuild Jerusalem and the temple. $========== PLACE Chesalon@Jos.15.10=H3693 Chesalon https://www.google.com/maps/@31.781049,35.051130,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.781049,35.051130 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.15.10;

It was situated beyond Mount Seir and was apparently located on the shoulder or side of Mount Jearim, which means "Mount of Forests." Although Mount Jearim was in close proximity to Kirjath-jearim, the two were not necessarily connected. ¶Chesalon was the next landmark after Bethshemesh in the description of Judah's border. The exact location is uncertain, but it has been identified with the modern village of Kesla, located about six miles northeast of Ain Shems (Bethshemesh) in the western mountains of Judah. In the 4th century AD, Eusebius and Jerome described Chesalon as a very large village. ¶The name Chesalon may be derived from the Hebrew verb "kasal," which can mean "to be confident," often in a foolish or stupid way.

Mount Tabor is known for its strategic location and its role in various biblical events, such as Deborah and Barak's victory over Sisera (Judges 4-5). ¶In 1Ch.6.77, Tabor is mentioned as one of the cities given to the Levites from the tribe of Zebulun, along with its common-land. This indicates that Chesulloth, or a portion of it, was allocated to the Levites for their use and sustenance. ¶The exact location of Chesulloth is uncertain, but its proximity to Mount Tabor and its position on the border between Issachar and Zebulun suggest that it was a significant settlement in the region during the time of Joshua and the early Israelite period. $========== PLACE Chilmad@Ezk.27.23=H3638 Chilmad= near Nineveh (Nineveh@Gen.10.11-Luk=H5210) https://www.google.com/maps/@36.359410,43.152887,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@36.359410,43.152887 > #A location near Nineveh only mentioned at Ezk.27.23;

The lake is located in the Jordan Rift Valley, fed by the Jordan River, and is approximately 13 miles (21 kilometers) long and 8 miles (13 kilometers) wide. ¶In the Old Testament, the lake is referred to as the Sea of Chinnereth (Numbers 34:11; Joshua 13:27) or Chinneroth (Joshua 12:3), likely named after a nearby town. The name "Chinnereth" may be derived from the Hebrew word for "harp," possibly referring to the shape of the lake. ¶In the New Testament, the lake is most commonly known as the Sea of Galilee (Matthew 4:18; Mrk.1.16; Jhn.6.1) and is the setting for many events in Jesus' life and ministry. Jesus called his first disciples, Simon Peter and his brother Andrew, while they were fishing on the Sea of Galilee (Matthew 4:18-22). He also calmed a storm on the lake (Mrk.4.35-41), walked on its waters (Jhn.6.16-21), and appeared to his disciples on its shores after his resurrection (Jhn.21.1-14). ¶The lake is also referred to as the Sea of Tiberias (Jhn.6.1; 21:1), named after the city of Tiberias, which was founded on its western shore during the reign of Herod Antipas (circa 20 CE). The city was named in honor of the Roman Emperor Tiberius. ¶The Sea of Galilee was an important source of livelihood for the people in the region, with fishing being a major industry. Several of Jesus' disciples, including Peter, Andrew, James, and John, were fishermen on the lake (Luke 5:1-11). The lake's shores were also dotted with numerous towns and villages, such as Capernaum, Bethsaida, and Magdala, which feature prominently in the Gospels. $========== PLACE Chinneroth@Jos.11.2-1Ki=H3672H Chinneroth https://www.google.com/maps/@32.80677585520321,35.58936052679091,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.80677585520321,35.58936052679091 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.11.2;

In Joshua 11:2, Chinneroth is listed as one of the areas where the kings of the northern Canaanite cities gathered to fight against Joshua and the Israelites. ¶In Joshua 19:35, Chinnereth is mentioned as one of the fortified cities allotted to the tribe of Naphtali during the division of the Promised Land. This suggests that Chinnereth was a significant city in the region during the time of the conquest and settlement of Canaan. ¶The Sea of Chinnereth, later known as the Sea of Galilee, was named after the city or region of Chinnereth (Numbers 34:11; Deu.3.17). This sea played a crucial role in the ministry of Jesus Christ, as he performed many miracles and taught in the towns and villages along its shores. ¶In 1Ki.15.20, during the reign of King Baasha of Israel, Ben-hadad, the king of Syria, attacked several cities in northern Israel, including "all Chinneroth," referring to the region around the Sea of Galilee.

It was known for its strategic location along the shipping routes between Asia Minor and Greece. The island was famous for its wine production and its cultivation of mastic, a resin used for medicinal purposes and as a spice. ¶In Paul's time, Chios was part of the Roman Empire and had a significant Jewish population. The brief mention of Chios in the book of Acts suggests that it was a regular stop for ships navigating the Aegean Sea and that Paul's journey followed the established maritime trade routes of the time. ¶Although the Bible does not provide any further details about Paul's activities or experiences on Chios, the island's inclusion in the account of his journey highlights the geographical scope of his travels and the spread of the early Christian church throughout the Mediterranean world. $========== PLACE Chitlish@Jos.15.40=H3798 Chitlish= near Gederah (Gederah@Jos.15.36-1Ch=H1449) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.823337,34.777779,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.823337,34.777779 > #A location near Gederah only mentioned at Jos.15.40;

It is mentioned twice in the Gospels, both in the context of Jesus pronouncing judgment on the town for its unbelief and lack of repentance (Matthew 11:21; Luke 10:13). ¶In these passages, Jesus contrasts Chorazin with the Gentile cities of Tyre and Sidon, stating that if the mighty works he had performed in Chorazin had been done in those cities, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. This suggests that Jesus had carried out significant miracles and teachings in Chorazin, yet the people remained unresponsive to his message. ¶Jesus then declares that it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for Chorazin, emphasizing the severity of the town's spiritual hardness and the consequences of rejecting the Messiah. ¶The exact location of Chorazin is not specified in the Bible, but it is believed to be the modern-day site of Khirbet Karazeh, about 2.5 miles north of Capernaum. Archaeological excavations at the site have revealed the remains of a synagogue from the 3rd or 4th century AD, as well as residential buildings and streets. ¶Chorazin serves as a sobering example of the consequences of unbelief and the importance of responding to Jesus' teachings and miracles with faith and repentance. $========== PLACE Cilicia@Act.6.9-Gal=G2791 Cilicia https://www.google.com/maps/@36.91802695356275,34.89153398422567,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@36.91802695356275,34.89153398422567 > #A location first mentioned at Act.6.9;

It was bounded by the Taurus Mountains to the north, separating it from Cappadocia, Lycaonia, and Isauria, the Mediterranean Sea to the south, Syria to the east, and Pamphylia to the west. ¶In the New Testament, Cilicia is mentioned several times in connection with the apostle Paul. Paul was born in Tarsus, one of the chief cities of Cilicia (Act.21.39; 22:3). After his conversion, Paul spent some time in Cilicia (Galatians 1:21; Act.9.30) and later revisited the region during his second missionary journey, strengthening the churches (Act.15.41). ¶Cilicia had a significant Jewish population, and the synagogue of the Cilicians in Jerusalem was among those who disputed with Stephen (Act.6.9). The early Christian church spread to Cilicia, as evidenced by the letter addressed to the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia (Act.15.23). ¶Geographically, Cilicia was an important region, serving as a major trade route between Syria and the west. The Cilician Gates, a mountain pass through the Taurus Mountains, was a strategic point of travel and was likely used by Paul and Barnabas during their missionary journeys (Act.15.41). $========== PLACE City_of_Salt@Jos.15.62=H5898 City of Salt= near Engedi (Engedi@Gen.14.7-Ezk=H5872) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.46152536164766,35.39241108242345,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.46152536164766,35.39241108242345 > #A location near Engedi only mentioned at Jos.15.62;

Its mention in Joshua 15 indicates that it was a recognized settlement during the time of the conquest and division of the Promised Land. $========== PLACE Cnidus@Act.27.7=G2834 Cnidus https://www.google.com/maps/@36.68502255790917,27.37439432376754,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@36.68502255790917,27.37439432376754 > #A location only mentioned at Act.27.7;

It is mentioned once in the Bible, in Act.27.7, in the context of Paul's journey to Rome as a prisoner. ¶After setting sail from Myra, the ship carrying Paul and other prisoners encountered difficulty sailing due to unfavorable winds. They sailed slowly for many days and arrived with difficulty off Cnidus. Unable to continue sailing westward, they turned south and sailed along the sheltered side of Crete. ¶Cnidus was known for its strategic location, with two harbors providing shelter from various wind directions. The city was also famous for its sculpture, particularly the Aphrodite of Cnidus, a renowned work by the sculptor Praxiteles. ¶The mention of Cnidus in Acts 27 provides insight into the route taken by Paul and his companions during their journey to Rome and the challenges they faced while navigating the Mediterranean Sea. It also demonstrates the apostle's determination to reach Rome, despite the difficulties and dangers encountered along the way. $========== PLACE Colossae@Col.1.2-=G2857G Colossae https://www.google.com/maps/@37.78333333333333,29.25,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@37.78333333333333,29.25 > #A location first mentioned at Col.1.2;

It is most notably known as the recipient of one of Paul's epistles, the Letter to the Colossians. ¶In the opening of the epistle (Col.1.2), Paul addresses the letter to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colossae. The church in Colossae was likely established during Paul's third missionary journey, as he spent two years teaching in Ephesus, and the gospel spread throughout the region (Act.19.10). ¶Although Paul had not personally visited Colossae (Col.2.1), he had heard about the faith and love of the Colossian believers through Epaphras, who was likely the founder of the church (Col.1.7-8). Epaphras had informed Paul of some concerns regarding false teachings that were influencing the Colossian church, prompting Paul to write the epistle. ¶In the letter, Paul emphasizes the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ, warning against false philosophies and human traditions that could lead believers astray (Col.2.8-23). He also provides practical instructions for Christian living, including relationships within families and between slaves and masters (Col.3.1-4:6). ¶The closing of the letter (Col.4.18) includes a personal greeting from Paul, written in his own hand, and a request for the Colossians to exchange letters with the church in Laodicea, another nearby city. ¶Colossae was known for its wool and dye industry, particularly a unique purple dye called colossinus. The city was also located near the important trade routes that connected Ephesus to the Euphrates River. However, by the time of Paul's writing, Colossae had declined in importance compared to the nearby cities of Laodicea and Hierapolis. $========== PLACE Corban@Mat.27.6-Mrk=G2878 Temple Treasury= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem first mentioned at Mat.27.6;

In Mrk.7.11, Jesus criticizes the Pharisees for using the concept of Corban to avoid their responsibility to support their parents. The Pharisees would declare their property or assets as "Corban," meaning it was dedicated to God, and thus exempt from being used to help their parents, even though they could still benefit from it themselves. Jesus condemns this practice as a way of nullifying God's commandment to honor one's father and mother. ¶The term Corban is derived from the Hebrew word "qorban," which means "offering" or "sacrifice." In the Old Testament, it refers to various offerings and sacrifices brought to the temple as an act of worship and devotion to God. ¶In Matthew 27:6, the term Corban appears again, this time referring to the temple treasury. After Judas returned the thirty pieces of silver he had received for betraying Jesus, the chief priests decided that it was not lawful to put the money into the treasury (Corban) because it was the price of blood. This indicates that the temple treasury was considered sacred, and there were regulations concerning the source and use of funds placed in it. $========== PLACE Corinth@Act.18.1-2Ti=G2882 Corinth https://www.google.com/maps/@37.9059573586561,22.87788175588845,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@37.9059573586561,22.87788175588845 > #A location first mentioned at Act.18.1;

It was known for its strategic location, controlling trade routes between the Aegean and Adriatic seas. The city was famous for its wealth, luxury, and immorality. ¶In the New Testament, Corinth plays a significant role as the location of a Christian church founded by the apostle Paul during his second missionary journey (Act.18.1-18). Paul spent 18 months in Corinth, working as a tentmaker and preaching the gospel. Many Corinthians, including Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed and were baptized (Act.18.8). ¶After leaving Corinth, Paul wrote two epistles to the church, known as 1 and 2 Corinthians. These letters address various issues faced by the Corinthian believers, including divisions, immorality, lawsuits, and questions about spiritual gifts, resurrection, and Christian conduct. ¶In Romans 16:27, Paul sends greetings to the Corinthians, indicating that he wrote the epistle to the Romans while in Corinth. In 2Ti.4.20, Paul mentions that he left Erastus in Corinth, suggesting that the city continued to have a Christian presence. ¶Throughout the epistles, Paul refers to the Corinthian believers with affection, calling them "saints" (1Co.1.2; 2Co.1.1) and expressing his love for them (2Co.6.11; 13:13-14). The correspondence between Paul and the Corinthian church provides valuable insights into the challenges and growth of the early Christian community in a significant Gentile city. $========== PLACE Corner_Gate@2Ki.14.13-Zec=H6438G Corner Gate= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem first mentioned at 2Ki.14.13;

It is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, particularly in connection with repairs made to the city's fortifications and measurements of the city's perimeter. ¶In 2Ki.14.13 and 2Ch.25.23, the Corner Gate is mentioned as one of the points from which King Jehoash of Israel broke down the wall of Jerusalem after defeating King Amaziah of Judah. This suggests that the Corner Gate was a significant and strategic point in the city's defenses. ¶During the reign of King Uzziah of Judah, the Corner Gate was fortified and towers were built near it (2Ch.26.9). This further emphasizes the gate's importance in the city's defensive structure. ¶In the book of Jeremiah, the Corner Gate is mentioned as one of the landmarks in the prophetic description of Jerusalem's future restoration (Jeremiah 31:38). This passage envisions a time when the city will be rebuilt and expanded, with the Corner Gate marking one of the boundaries of the renewed city. ¶The exact location of the Corner Gate is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated at a point where the city wall turned a corner, hence its name. Some scholars suggest that it may have been located near the northwest corner of the city, possibly close to the present-day Jaffa Gate. $========== PLACE Cos@Act.21.1=G2972 Cos https://www.google.com/maps/@36.80467006054953,27.08994040521288,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@36.80467006054953,27.08994040521288 > #A location only mentioned at Act.21.1;

The next day, they went to Rhodes and from there to Patara. This brief mention of Cos provides insight into the route taken by Paul and his companions as they navigated the islands of the Aegean Sea. ¶Cos was known in ancient times for its strategic location, fertile land, and medical school associated with Hippocrates, the famous Greek physician. The island was also a center of the worship of Asclepius, the Greek god of medicine. ¶Although the Bible does not provide any details about Paul's activities or experiences on Cos, the mention of the island in the context of his journey demonstrates the apostle's determination to return to Jerusalem, despite the warnings he had received about the hardships that awaited him there (Act.20.22-23; 21:4, 11-14).

This event occurred around 722 BC when the Assyrians conquered the northern kingdom of Israel and exiled a significant portion of its population. ¶The people of Cuthah, along with those from other Babylonian cities such as Babylon, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim, were relocated to Samaria. These settlers, who came to be known as the Samaritans, initially did not worship the Lord and instead continued to serve their own gods (2Ki.17.29-31). ¶In response to the settlers' lack of reverence for the Lord, God sent lions among them, which killed some of the people. When the king of Assyria was informed of this, he ordered that one of the priests from among the exiled Israelites be sent back to Samaria to teach the new inhabitants about the God of the land (2Ki.17.25-28). ¶As a result, the Samaritans developed a syncretic religion, combining elements of their own beliefs with the worship of the Lord (2Ki.17.32-34, 41). This mixed religious practice led to ongoing tensions between the Samaritans and the Jews who returned from the Babylonian exile, as evidenced in the New Testament (e.g., Jhn.4.9). ¶The mention of Cuthah in the Bible provides insight into the complex history of the Samaritan people and the religious and cultural dynamics that shaped the region after the Assyrian conquest of Israel. $========== PLACE Cyprus@Num.24.24-Act=H3794H Cyprus Kittim@Gen.10.4-1Ch https://www.google.com/maps/@35.018306,33.207693,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@35.018306,33.207693 Cyprus #A person from a location in Cyprus first mentioned at Num.24.24;

In the Old Testament, the island is mentioned in the context of trade and prophecy. Isaiah 23:1, 12 and Jeremiah 2:10 refer to the ships of Kittim, indicating the island's involvement in maritime trade. Ezk.27.6 mentions the use of ivory from the coasts of Elishah (possibly Cyprus) in the construction of ships. ¶In Numbers 24:24 and Dan.11.30, Kittim is associated with ships that come against the people of God, possibly referring to the island's role in military campaigns or as a base for hostile forces. ¶In the New Testament, Cyprus plays a significant role in the spread of early Christianity. The apostle Barnabas, a Levite from Cyprus (Act.4.36), and some unnamed believers from the island were among the first to preach the gospel to the Gentiles in Antioch (Act.11.19-20). Barnabas and Saul (Paul) visited Cyprus during their first missionary journey (Act.13.4), where they encountered the sorcerer Elymas and converted the proconsul Sergius Paulus (Act.13.6-12). ¶Later, Barnabas and Mark sailed to Cyprus after a disagreement with Paul (Act.15.39). Paul also visited the island during his third missionary journey (Act.21.3) and during his journey to Rome as a prisoner (Act.27.4). ¶The early Christian community in Cyprus included Mnason, an early disciple who provided lodging for Paul and his companions in Jerusalem (Act.21.16). $========== PLACE Cyrene@Mat.27.32-Act=G2956 Cyrene https://www.google.com/maps/@32.824979,21.858301,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.824979,21.858301 > #A location first mentioned at Mat.27.32;

In the New Testament, Cyrene is mentioned in connection with several individuals who played a role in the life of Jesus and the early Christian church. ¶Simon of Cyrene, who was compelled by Roman soldiers to carry Jesus' cross on the way to His crucifixion, is mentioned in Matthew 27:32, Mrk.15.21, and Luke 23:26. Mark's Gospel identifies Simon as the father of Alexander and Rufus, suggesting that these men may have been known to the early Christian community. ¶In Act.2.10, Cyrenians are listed among the people present in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples. Some of these Cyrenian Jews, along with those from Cyprus, were among the first to preach the gospel to the Gentiles in Antioch (Act.11.20). ¶Lucius of Cyrene is mentioned as one of the prophets and teachers in the church at Antioch who ministered to the Lord and fasted, leading to the commissioning of Barnabas and Saul (Paul) for their first missionary journey (Act.13.1). ¶In Act.6.9, Cyrenian Jews are mentioned as part of the Synagogue of the Freedmen, which disputed with Stephen, the first Christian martyr. ¶These references to Cyrene in the New Testament highlight the city's significance as a center of Jewish diaspora and its contribution to the spread of early Christianity, particularly in the evangelization of Gentiles. $========== PLACE Dabbesheth@Jos.19.11=H1708 Dabbesheth https://www.google.com/maps/@33.000000,35.266682,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.000000,35.266682 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.19.11;

This description places Dabbesheth in the vicinity of Chisloth-tabor and Japhia, likely in the region of Lower Galilee. ¶No further details are provided about Dabbesheth in the biblical text, such as its exact location, history, or significance. Its inclusion in the border description of Zebulun's territory suggests that it was a recognized landmark or settlement during the time of Joshua and the conquest of Canaan. ¶The meaning of the name Dabbesheth is uncertain, and the lack of additional information in the Bible or other historical sources makes it difficult to draw firm conclusions about the town's role or character. $========== PLACE Daberath@Jos.19.12-1Ch=H1705 Daberath https://www.google.com/maps/@32.69171267584284,35.37171031061986,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.69171267584284,35.37171031061986 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.19.12;

It is mentioned as one of the border cities of Issachar, along with Chisloth-tabor and Japhia. ¶In Joshua 21:28 and 1Ch.6.72, Daberath is listed as one of the cities given to the Levites of the Gershonite clan from the tribe of Issachar, along with its pasturelands. This indicates that Daberath, or a portion of it, was set apart for the Levites, who were responsible for assisting the priests in the tabernacle service and teaching the law to the people. ¶The exact location of Daberath is not specified in the Bible, but it is generally identified with the modern village of Daburiyya, located at the base of Mount Tabor in Lower Galilee. This identification is supported by the similarity in name and the geographical context provided by the biblical references. ¶Apart from its designation as a Levitical city and its location on the border of Issachar's territory, no other details are provided about Daberath in the Bible.

Damascus was involved in conflicts with Israel and Judah, often aligning with their enemies (1Ki.15.18; 2Ki.16.9). The city was known for its beauty and prosperity, with references to its fertile gardens and bustling trade (Sng.7.4; Ezk.27.18). In the New Testament, Damascus is significant as the place of Paul's conversion on the road to the city (Act.9.1-19).

These invasions were a recurring problem for the Israelites during the time of the judges. In the book of Ezekiel, the East is mentioned in the context of God's judgment against the Ammonites and Moabites, who were located east of Israel (Ezk.25.4, 10).

Prior to entering the Promised Land, Moses instructed the Israelites to conduct a ceremony on Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim, pronouncing curses from Mount Ebal and blessings from Mount Gerizim (Deu.11.29; 27:4, 13). After the conquest of Canaan, Joshua led the Israelites in fulfilling this command, building an altar on Mount Ebal and conducting the ceremony as prescribed (Joshua 8:30, 33).

The Ark was eventually returned, and Samuel led the Israelites in a ceremony of repentance at Mizpah. When the Philistines attacked again, God intervened on behalf of Israel, causing confusion among the Philistines and leading to their defeat (1Sa.7.7-11). To commemorate this divine intervention and victory, Samuel set up the stone and named it Ebenezer, acknowledging God's help and deliverance (1Sa.7.12). The stone served as a reminder to the Israelites of God's faithfulness and power in their battles against their enemies. $========== PLACE Ebez@Jos.19.20=H0077 Ebez https://www.google.com/maps/@32.261621,35.328129,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.261621,35.328129 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.19.20;

It served as the capital of the Median Empire and later as a summer residence for Persian kings. In the biblical context, Ecbatana is mentioned in the book of Ezra as the place where a significant scroll was discovered during the reign of King Darius I of Persia (Ezra 6:2). The scroll contained a decree issued by King Cyrus, allowing the Jews to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem and authorizing the use of royal funds to support the project. This discovery provided crucial evidence and support for the Jews in their efforts to restore the Temple and re-establish their religious practices in Jerusalem. Ecbatana's mention in the Bible highlights the city's importance as an administrative center and repository of official documents during the Persian period. $========== PLACE Eden@2Ki.19.12-Ezk=H5729 https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 Assyria #A location in Assyria first mentioned at 2Ki.19.12;

The exact location of Eden is uncertain, but it was likely situated in Mesopotamia or Syria, given its association with the Assyrians and its trade relations with Tyre. It should not be confused with the Garden of Eden, as they are separate places. The biblical references to Eden provide little information about its history or significance, but its mention in the context of Assyrian conquests and Tyrian trade suggests that it was a place of some importance in the ancient Near East. $========== PLACE Eden@Gen.2.8-Jol=H5731B https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 Mesopotamia(?) #A location in Mesopotamia(?) first mentioned at Gen.2.8;

It was planted by God in the east (Genesis 2:8) and was watered by a river that divided into four headwaters (Genesis 2:10). God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it (Genesis 2:15). The garden contained various trees, including the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9). After Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they were expelled from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:23-24). Cherubim and a flaming sword were placed at the east of the garden to guard the way to the tree of life (Genesis 3:24). The Garden of Eden is mentioned in later biblical passages as a symbol of perfect beauty, abundance, and God's ideal for His creation (Isaiah 51:3; Ezk.28.13; 31:9, 16, 18; 36:35; Jol.2.3).

However, they rebelled in later years and were able to establish their independence from Judah. ¶The prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos and Obadiah all prophesied against Edom for its arrogance and for standing by when Judah was invaded by Babylon.

In the Bible, Egypt is first mentioned as the place Abraham journeyed during a famine in Canaan (Genesis 12:10). Later, Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt but rose to power as a trusted official of Pharaoh. During a famine, Israel (or 'Jacob') and his family settled in Egypt with Joseph. ¶After generations passed, the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians (Exodus 1:8-14). God called Moses to deliver His people from bondage. After Pharaoh refused to free the Israelites, God sent ten plagues upon Egypt (Exodus 7-12). Finally, Pharaoh relented and the Israelites left in the Exodus. At the Red Sea, God miraculously allowed the Israelites to cross on dry ground but destroyed the pursuing Egyptian army (Exodus 14). ¶Egypt is often used in the Bible as a symbol of bondage and oppression. The prophets warned against trusting in Egypt's power instead of God (Isaiah 30:1-3, 31:1). Yet Egypt was also a place of refuge, as when Mary, Joseph and Jesus fled there to escape Herod (Matthew 2:13-15). $========== PLACE Egypt_Sea@Isa.11.15=H4714I Sea of Egypt https://www.google.com/maps/@27.088473,34.771729,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@27.088473,34.771729 > #A location only mentioned at Isa.11.15;

The city was originally assigned to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:11,45-46) and then to Dan (Joshua 19:43), but the Israelites failed to conquer it (Judges 1:18-19). ¶During the time of Samuel, the Philistines captured the Ark of the Covenant and moved it to Ashdod, then Gath, and finally Ekron (1Sa.5.10). However, God afflicted the Ekronites with tumors, so they sent the Ark back to Israel (1 Samuel 6). Later, David killed Goliath, and the Israelites pursued the Philistines as far as Ekron (1Sa.17.52). ¶The prophets Amos (1:8), Zephaniah (2:4), and Zechariah (9:5,7) all foretold Ekron's destruction as part of God's judgment on the Philistines.

It was likely an open area suitable for battle. David, then a young shepherd boy, arrived at the Israelite camp and accepted Goliath's challenge. With a sling and a stone, David struck down Goliath, and the Philistines fled in defeat. ¶After this victory, the Elah Valley became famous as the site of David's triumph and the place where he launched his ascent to the throne.

Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, was an ally of other Mesopotamian kings who fought against Sodom and Gomorrah and took Lot captive before being defeated by Abraham (Genesis 14:1-16). ¶The Elamites were skilled archers (Isaiah 22:6) and were sometimes allies of Israel's enemies. Elamite kings are mentioned in Assyrian records of campaigns against Judah. The prophets Isaiah (11:11, 21:2, 22:6) and Jeremiah (25:25, 49:34-39) foretold Elam's conquest by the Babylonians and Medes as part of God's judgment. ¶However, Jeremiah also prophesied Elam's restoration in the latter days (49:39). Some Elamites were present in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost (Act.2.9). Nehemiah's opponents included a man named Tobiah the Ammonite official and Geshem the Arab (Nehemiah 2:19, 6:1), possibly indicating alliances between Elam and Israel's neighbors.

Solomon used Elath as a port for his fleet of ships that sailed to Ophir for gold (1Ki.9.26, 2Ch.8.17). ¶After the division of the kingdom, Elath remained under Judean control. King Uzziah of Judah rebuilt and fortified Elath, restoring it to Judah (2Ki.14.22, 2Ch.26.2).

Isaiah mentioned the city in his oracle against Moab (Isaiah 15:4, 16:9), foretelling that the "weeping of Jazer extends to Elealeh."

At Marah, they complained about the bitter water, but God instructed Moses to throw a piece of wood into the water, making it sweet. Elim's abundant water and shade would have been a welcome relief after this trial. ¶Elim is also mentioned in the list of Israel's journey stages in Numbers 33:9-10.

Another theory is that Elkosh was actually in Assyria, and that Nahum lived among the exiles there.

The king of Ellasar was named Arioch (Genesis 14:1,9). ¶In the biblical account, the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Bela (Zoar) had served Chedorlaomer for twelve years but rebelled in the thirteenth year. In response, Chedorlaomer and his allies, including Arioch of Ellasar, went to war against them in the Valley of Siddim (the Salt Sea/Dead Sea region). The cities of the plain were defeated, and Sodom and Gomorrah were plundered. Lot, Abraham's nephew living in Sodom, was taken captive. ¶When Abraham heard of Lot's capture, he pursued Chedorlaomer's forces with his 318 trained men and defeated them near Damascus, rescuing Lot and recovering the goods and people taken from Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 14:13-16). ¶The exact location of Ellasar is uncertain, but it is believed to be in the region of Mesopotamia, possibly associated with the ancient city of Larsa in southern Babylonia.

In response, God split open a hollow place in Lehi, and water came out of it. Samson drank from this spring, and his strength was restored.

It played a significant role in two events related to the succession of King David's throne. ¶First, Adonijah, one of David's sons, attempted to establish himself as king at En-rogel without David's knowledge or consent (1Ki.1.9). Adonijah sacrificed sheep, oxen, and fattened cattle by the Stone of Zoheleth, which was near En-rogel, and invited his brothers and the king's officials to support his claim to the throne. However, his attempt was thwarted when the prophet Nathan and Bathsheba informed David of the situation, leading to Solomon being anointed as king (1Ki.1.11-40). ¶Later, during Absalom's rebellion against David, En-rogel served as a meeting place for David's supporters, Jonathan and Ahimaaz (2Sa.17.17). They would bring information from the city to David, who had fled from Jerusalem. A servant girl would go and tell them the information, and they would then go and tell King David, to avoid being seen entering the city. ¶The name En-rogel means "spring of the fuller" or "fountain of the treader," possibly referring to the presence of a water source used for washing or treading clothes. Its exact location is debated, but it is believed to be either the modern-day Bir Ayub (Job's Well) or the Virgin's Spring (Gihon Spring) in the Kidron Valley, south of the City of David. $========== PLACE En-shemesh@Jos.15.7-=H5885 En-shemesh https://www.google.com/maps/@31.774020,35.270231,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.774020,35.270231 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.15.7;

It is mentioned twice in the Bible, both times in the context of describing the boundary lines of these two tribes. ¶In Joshua 15:7, En-shemesh is listed as one of the landmarks on the northern border of Judah, along with the Stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben, and the valley of Achor. In Joshua 18:17, it is mentioned again as part of the southern border of Benjamin, along with Geliloth and the stone of Bohan. ¶The exact location of En-shemesh is uncertain, but it was likely situated east of Jerusalem, in the vicinity of the Kidron Valley. Its name, "spring of the sun," may suggest that it was located in a sunny spot or that it had some association with sun worship in Canaanite times. ¶Apart from its role in demarcating the tribal boundaries, no other details about En-shemesh are provided in the Bible.

In this passage, Isaiah speaks of various nations and tribes coming to Jerusalem, bringing their wealth and resources as offerings to the Lord. ¶Among these tribes is Ephah, which is described as bringing a multitude of camels and dromedaries (young camels) from Midian and Sheba. This suggests that Ephah was an Arabian tribe known for their camel herds and their involvement in the caravan trade. ¶The name Ephah is associated with the Midianites, as one of Abraham's sons by his concubine Keturah was named Ephah (Genesis 25:4). However, it is unclear whether the Ephah mentioned in Isaiah's prophecy is directly related to this individual or simply shares the same name. ¶Isaiah's prophecy portrays a future time when the wealth of the nations, including that of the Arabian tribes like Ephah, will be brought to Jerusalem in recognition of the Lord's glory and the significance of His people.

Goliath, a champion from Gath, emerged from the Philistine camp and challenged the Israelites to send out a warrior to face him in single combat (1Sa.17.4-10). ¶David, who had come to the Israelite camp to bring supplies to his brothers, accepted Goliath's challenge. With a sling and a stone, David defeated Goliath, leading to a great victory for the Israelites over the Philistines (1Sa.17.48-53). ¶The alternate name Pas-dammim, used in 1Ch.11.13, may be a variant spelling or a scribal error.

It was one of the largest and most important cities in the Roman province of Asia and played a significant role in the early spread of Christianity. ¶The apostle Paul visited Ephesus during his second and third missionary journeys (Act.18.19-21; 19:1-41). During his third journey, Paul stayed in Ephesus for over two years, preaching the gospel and establishing a strong Christian community (Act.19.8-10). Many Ephesians turned from their pagan practices and embraced the faith, which led to a decline in the sale of silver shrines of the goddess Artemis (Diana), causing a riot instigated by the silversmiths (Act.19.23-41). ¶Paul later wrote the Epistle to the Ephesians, one of his prison epistles, to strengthen and encourage the believers in Ephesus (Ephesians 1:1). In this letter, Paul expounds on the nature of the church, the unity of believers in Christ, and the importance of living a life worthy of the calling they had received. ¶Ephesus was also one of the seven churches addressed in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 1:11; 2:1-7). In the message to the church in Ephesus, the risen Christ commends their hard work and perseverance but admonishes them for having forsaken their first love and calls them to repent and return to their former devotion. ¶The city was famous for its Temple of Artemis (Diana), one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World (Act.19.35). It was also an important center of learning, with a renowned library. Today, the ruins of Ephesus, including the remains of the theater where the riot took place (Act.19.29), are a popular tourist attraction and a testament to the city's rich history and its role in the early Christian church. $========== PLACE Ephraim@2Sa.13.23-Jhn=H0669L Ephraim https://www.google.com/maps/@31.954444, 35.300278,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.954444, 35.300278 > #A location first mentioned at 2Sa.13.23;

The public reading of the Law was an important event in the spiritual renewal of the Jewish community after their return from exile. ¶Nehemiah 12:39 describes a dedication ceremony for the rebuilt wall, during which two processions of singers and musicians marched along the top of the wall in opposite directions, meeting at the Ephraim Gate before proceeding to the Temple. ¶The Ephraim Gate's location is not specified, but it was likely on the north side of the city, facing toward the territory of Ephraim.

It is mentioned twice in the Bible, in Genesis 10:10 and Ezra 4:9. ¶In Genesis 10:10, Erech is listed as one of the cities that formed the beginning of Nimrod's kingdom in the land of Shinar (Babylonia). Nimrod, a mighty hunter and ruler, is described as establishing a powerful kingdom that included the cities of Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh. ¶Ezra 4:9 mentions the people of Erech among those who wrote a letter to King Artaxerxes of Persia, opposing the rebuilding of the Jerusalem Temple and the city walls after the Babylonian exile. This suggests that inhabitants of Erech were among those deported and resettled in other parts of the Persian Empire, and they sought to hinder the Jewish returnees' efforts to reestablish their homeland. ¶Archaeologically, Erech is one of the oldest cities in Mesopotamia, with evidence of continuous habitation from the 5th millennium BC. It was an important center of Sumerian culture and religion, known for its impressive ziggurats and the Gilgamesh Epic, one of the earliest known works of literature. ¶The biblical mentions of Erech, though brief, attest to its significance as an ancient Mesopotamian city and its interaction with the history and people of Israel, both in the early stages of civilization and during the post-exilic period. $========== PLACE Esau_Mount@Oba.1.8-=H6215I Mount Esau https://www.google.com/maps/@30.734691,35.606250,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.734691,35.606250 > #A location first mentioned at Oba.1.8;

The Edomites lived in the area south of the Dead Sea, extending from the Wadi Zered to the Gulf of Aqaba, in what is now southern Jordan and Israel. ¶In his prophecy, Obadiah declares God's judgment against Edom for their hostile actions and attitudes toward Israel, particularly during the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem (Obadiah 1:8, 9, 19, 21). The Edomites had rejoiced over Judah's destruction and had even participated in looting the city and capturing fleeing Israelites (Obadiah 1:11-14). ¶Obadiah prophesies that God will bring down the "wise men" and "mighty men" of Edom, and that their mountain stronghold will be unable to protect them from divine judgment (Obadiah 1:8-9). He also foretells that the house of Israel (or 'Jacob') and Joseph will possess the territories of Edom and the surrounding nations, and that deliverers will come from Mount Zion to judge Mount Esau (Obadiah 1:19, 21). ¶The reference to Mount Esau symbolizes the pride and security of the Edomites in their mountainous territory, as well as their opposition to God's people. $========== PLACE Esek@Gen.26.20=H6230 Esek= near Gerar (Gerar@Gen.10.19-2Ch=H1642) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.39129109635703,34.56057015639144,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.39129109635703,34.56057015639144 > #A location near Gerar only mentioned at Gen.26.20;

The well was located in the Gerar Valley, where Isaac had settled after the Philistines had stopped up the wells previously dug by his father. ¶When Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found a well of fresh water, the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with them, claiming the water as their own. As a result, Isaac named the well Esek, which means "contention" or "dispute," reflecting the conflict that had arisen over the water rights. ¶The incident at Esek demonstrates the ongoing tensions between Isaac and the local inhabitants, as well as the importance of water sources in the semi-arid region. It also highlights Isaac's peaceful nature, as he chose to move on and dig another well rather than engage in further confrontation with the herdsmen of Gerar. $========== PLACE Eshan@Jos.15.52=H0824 Eshan https://www.google.com/maps/@31.420175,35.033537,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.420175,35.033537 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.15.52;

The valley was named after Eshcol, an Amorite who was an ally of Abraham (Genesis 14:13, 24). ¶During the reconnaissance mission, the spies came to the Eshcol Valley and cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes so large that it had to be carried on a pole between two men. They also gathered pomegranates and figs from the area (Numbers 13:23). The bountiful produce of the valley was used as evidence of the land's fertility when the spies reported back to Moses and the Israelites (Numbers 13:27). ¶However, despite the Eshcol Valley's fruitfulness, the spies' report also emphasized the strength of the Canaanite inhabitants and their fortified cities, which led to fear and rebellion among the Israelites (Numbers 13:28-33; 14:1-4). As a result, God condemned the unbelieving generation to wander in the wilderness for forty years (Numbers 14:26-35). ¶The Eshcol Valley is also mentioned in Deu.1.24, recounting the spies' journey, and in Numbers 32:9, where it is referred to as a symbol of the Promised Land's abundance.

It was initially allotted to the tribe of Judah (Joshua 15:33) but was later assigned to the tribe of Dan (Joshua 19:41). ¶Eshtaol is particularly associated with the story of Samson, the legendary Israelite judge. Samson was born in the nearby town of Zorah and is described as moving between Zorah and Eshtaol, where the Spirit of the Lord began to stir him (Judges 13:25). After Samson's death, he was buried between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father, Manoah (Judges 16:31). ¶Eshtaol also played a role in the Danite migration narrative. Due to limited territory and pressure from the Philistines, a group of Danites sent spies from Zorah and Eshtaol to search for a new land to settle (Judges 18:2). After the spies returned with a favorable report, six hundred men from the clan of the Danites set out from Zorah and Eshtaol to conquer the city of Laish in the north (Judges 18:8, 11). ¶The descendants of the Eshtaolites, a clan from Eshtaol, are mentioned in 1Ch.2.53 among the descendants of Judah's son Shobal. This suggests that the city maintained its ties to the tribe of Judah even after being allotted to Dan. $========== PERSON+PLACE Eshtemoa@Jos.15.50-1Ch=H0851 Eshtemoa Ishbah@1Ch.4.17 + https://www.google.com/maps/@31.373521,35.074552,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.373521,35.074552 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.21.14;

It was allotted to the Levites, specifically to the descendants of Aaron, as one of their cities (Joshua 21:14; 1Ch.6.57). ¶Several individuals are associated with Eshtemoa in the genealogies of Judah. In 1Ch.4.17, Ishbah is mentioned as the father of Eshtemoa. Later, in 1Ch.4.19, the sons of Ezrah are listed, including Eshtemoa. ¶During the time of David, when he was hiding from King Saul in the wilderness of Judah, David sent some of the spoils from his victory over the Amalekites to the elders of Eshtemoa, among other cities (1Sa.30.28). This act of sharing the spoils was likely a gesture of goodwill and a way to strengthen alliances with the cities that had supported him. ¶The exact location of Eshtemoa is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the southern part of the hill country of Judah, possibly near the modern-day village of es-Semu'a, about 15 kilometers south of Hebron.

Three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam and asked Samson to surrender, fearing Philistine retaliation (Judges 15:11).

It is often referred to simply as "the River" or "Shibolet" (meaning "ear of grain") in Hebrew. ¶In the Garden of Eden narrative, the Euphrates is one of the four rivers that flowed from the garden (Genesis 2:14). Later, it is mentioned as part of the boundary of the Promised Land, as God promised Abraham that his descendants would inherit the land from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates (Genesis 15:18; Deu.1.7; 11:24; Joshua 1:4). ¶The Euphrates served as a natural boundary between the Assyrian and Babylonian empires and the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. It was the site of several significant events, such as the battle of Carchemish, where the Babylonians defeated the Egyptians (Jeremiah 46:2), and the place where Jeremiah hid a linen belt as a symbol of God's judgment on Judah (Jeremiah 13:4-7). ¶In the book of Revelation, the Euphrates is mentioned in connection with the sixth trumpet judgment (Revelation 9:14) and the sixth bowl judgment (Revelation 16:12), where the river is dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the east. ¶Throughout the Bible, the Euphrates is used as a symbol of the extent of God's promised blessings (Psalm 72:8), the reach of Israel's enemies (Isaiah 7:20; 8:7), and the future restoration of Israel (Isaiah 11:15; 27:12; Micah 7:12; Zechariah 9:10). ¶The Euphrates played a significant role in the history and commerce of the ancient Near East, with many important cities and civilizations situated along its banks, such as Babylon, Ur, and Carchemish. It was a vital source of water for irrigation and transportation, and its fertile floodplains supported agriculture and trade. $========== PLACE Ezel_Stone@1Sa.20.19=H0237 Ezel Stone= near Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location near Jerusalem only mentioned at 1Sa.20.19;

The name "Ezel" may be derived from the Hebrew word "azel," meaning "departure" or "going away," possibly referring to David's intended departure from Saul's court. ¶In the context of the narrative, David had become aware of Saul's intention to harm him and sought Jonathan's help to determine the king's true intentions. Jonathan devised a plan to shoot arrows near the Stone of Ezel as a signal to David. If Jonathan told his servant that the arrows were on the near side of the stone, it would indicate that David was safe to return. However, if Jonathan said that the arrows were beyond the stone, it would mean that David should flee for his life (1Sa.20.20-22). ¶The exact location of the Stone of Ezel is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated in a field near Gibeah, Saul's hometown, where David and Jonathan could meet without arousing suspicion. The stone may have served as a boundary marker or a prominent landmark that could be easily identified. ¶The Stone of Ezel incident demonstrates the deep friendship between David and Jonathan and their loyalty to each other, even in the face of Saul's hostility. It also showcases their trust in God and their willingness to communicate and act in wisdom to protect David's life. $========== PLACE Ezem@Jos.15.29-1Ch=H6107 Ezem= near Beersheba (Beersheba@Gen.21.14-Amo=H0884) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.244952,34.840888,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.244952,34.840888 > #A location near Beersheba first mentioned at Jos.15.29;

In Joshua 15:29, Ezem is mentioned alongside Baalah, Iim, and Tolad, while in Joshua 19:3 and 1Ch.4.29, it is listed with Bethul, Hormah, and Ziklag as part of Simeon's inheritance. ¶No other details about Ezem are provided in the Bible, and its exact location is unknown. The Negev was known for its arid climate and served as a buffer zone between the Israelites and the surrounding desert-dwelling tribes. ¶The mention of Ezem in the lists of cities allotted to Judah and Simeon helps to define the extent of their territories and provides insight into the geography of the region during the time of the Israelite conquest and settlement of Canaan. $========== PLACE Ezion-geber@Num.33.35-2Ch=H6100 Ezion-geber https://www.google.com/maps/@29.75804307645581,35.0306017443078,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@29.75804307645581,35.0306017443078 > #A location first mentioned at Num.33.35;

It was located near Elath, at the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba, in the modern-day country of Jordan. ¶During Solomon's reign, Ezion-geber became a major port city and a center for maritime trade. Solomon built a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which sailed to Ophir and brought back gold, silver, and other precious materials (1Ki.9.26-28; 2Ch.8.17-18). The strategic location of Ezion-geber allowed Solomon to establish trade routes with Arabia, East Africa, and possibly even India. ¶Later, during the reign of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, there was an attempt to revive the maritime trade from Ezion-geber. $========== PLACE Fair_Havens@Act.27.8=G2570H Fair Havens https://www.google.com/maps/@34.92138418681769,24.73114125973342,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@34.92138418681769,24.73114125973342 > #A location only mentioned at Act.27.8;

The harbor's name, "Fair Havens" (Greek: Kaloi Limenes), suggests that it was a suitable place for ships to anchor and wait out unfavorable weather. ¶According to the narrative in Acts, Paul and his companions were sailing from Caesarea to Rome when they encountered strong winds that forced them to sail along the southern coast of Crete. After passing Cape Salmone, they arrived at Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea (Act.27.8). ¶While at Fair Havens, Paul advised the crew to spend the winter there, as he foresaw that continuing the voyage would result in damage and loss (Act.27.9-10). However, the centurion in charge of the ship decided to follow the advice of the pilot and the ship's owner, who wanted to reach Phoenix, another harbor on Crete, to spend the winter (Act.27.11-12). ¶The exact location of Fair Havens is believed to be near the modern-day village of Kaloi Limenes, which bears the same name as the ancient harbor.

It is believed to have been located on the northern side of the city, possibly near the present-day Damascus Gate. ¶In Nehemiah 3:3, during the rebuilding of Jerusalem's wall after the Babylonian exile, the Fish Gate was repaired by the sons of Hassenaah. They laid its beams and set its doors, bolts, and bars in place. The Fish Gate is also mentioned in Nehemiah 12:39, where it is listed among the gates that the procession of dedication passed through during the celebration of the completed wall. ¶The name "Fish Gate" suggests that it may have been a location where fish were sold or where fishermen entered the city to sell their catch. It is possible that the gate was named after the nearby fish market or the road leading to the Mediterranean Sea, where fish were brought into the city. ¶In Zephaniah 1:10, the Fish Gate is mentioned in a prophecy of judgment against Jerusalem, where the Lord declares that a cry will be heard from the Fish Gate, along with wailing from the Second Quarter and a loud crash from the hills. This passage indicates that the Fish Gate was a significant location within the city and that its destruction would be a sign of God's judgment. ¶The rebuilding of the Fish Gate during Nehemiah's time was part of the larger effort to restore Jerusalem and its walls after the Babylonian exile. The participation of the sons of Hassenaah in repairing this gate demonstrates the community's involvement in the rebuilding process and the importance of each section of the wall being restored by different families and groups. $========== PLACE Forest_Ephraim@2Sa.18.6=H0669K Ephraim Forest https://www.google.com/maps/@35.764722,32.381111,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@35.764722,32.381111 > #A location only mentioned at 2Sa.18.6;

This battle took place during Absalom's rebellion against his father, which had forced David to flee from Jerusalem. ¶David's army, led by Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, met Absalom's forces in the Forest of Ephraim. The battle spread out over the countryside, and the forest claimed more lives than the sword (2Sa.18.8). David's men defeated Absalom's army, and Absalom himself was killed when his hair got caught in the branches of a tree, and Joab thrust three javelins into his heart (2Sa.18.9-15). ¶The exact location of the Forest of Ephraim is uncertain, as it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. Some scholars believe that it may have been situated east of the Jordan River, in the region of Gilead, where the tribe of Ephraim had some land allotted to them (Joshua 17:15-18). Others suggest that it could have been a forested area within the territory of Ephraim, west of the Jordan. ¶The significance of the Forest of Ephraim lies in its role as the setting for the decisive battle that ended Absalom's rebellion and restored David to the throne. The dense forest terrain likely contributed to the high number of casualties and the difficulty in pursuing the retreating enemy forces. $========== PLACE Forum_of_Appius@Act.28.15=G0675 Forum of Appius https://www.google.com/maps/@41.468706,12.993929,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@41.468706,12.993929 > #A location only mentioned at Act.28.15;

The Forum of Appius was a market town located along the Appian Way, the main road connecting Rome to southern Italy. ¶According to the narrative in Acts, after Paul had appealed to Caesar and was sent to Rome, he was permitted to stay by himself with a soldier guarding him (Act.28.16). As Paul approached the city, believers from Rome traveled to meet him at two locations: the Forum of Appius and Three Taverns (Act.28.15). ¶The Forum of Appius was situated about 43 miles (69 kilometers) southeast of Rome and was a popular stopping point for travelers. It was named after Appius Claudius Caecus, the Roman censor who initiated the construction of the Appian Way in 312 BC. The town likely served as a marketplace and resting place for those journeying along the road. ¶The fact that Christians from Rome came to meet Paul at the Forum of Appius demonstrates the strong support and eagerness of the Roman believers to welcome and encourage the apostle. This meeting would have provided Paul with much-needed fellowship and reassurance as he faced the challenges of his impending trial before Caesar. ¶The mention of the Forum of Appius in the biblical account of Paul's journey to Rome provides insight into the spread of Christianity and the connections between believers in different parts of the Roman Empire. It also highlights the importance of the Appian Way as a major transportation route and the role of market towns like the Forum of Appius in facilitating travel and communication in the ancient world. $========== PLACE Foundation_Gate@2Ch.23.5=H3247G Gate of the Foundation= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem only mentioned at 2Ch.23.5;

He rebuilt it, covered it, and set its doors, bolts, and bars in place. Additionally, he repaired the wall of the Pool of Shelah (Siloam) by the King's Garden, as far as the stairs that went down from the City of David. ¶The Fountain Gate is also mentioned in Nehemiah 12:37, where it is described as a location along the route of the procession of dedication for the rebuilt wall of Jerusalem. The procession, led by Ezra and Nehemiah, started at the Fountain Gate and proceeded to the Water Gate, then to the Sheep Gate, and finally to the Temple. ¶The name "Fountain Gate" suggests that it may have been located near a water source, possibly the Gihon Spring or the Pool of Siloam, which were important for Jerusalem's water supply. Its proximity to the King's Garden also indicates that it was in an area of the city associated with royalty and agriculture. ¶The rebuilding of the Fountain Gate during Nehemiah's time was part of the larger effort to restore Jerusalem and its walls after the Babylonian exile. The participation of Shallun in repairing this gate demonstrates the community's involvement in the rebuilding process and the importance of each section of the wall being restored by different individuals and groups. $========== PLACE Gaash@Jos.24.30-1Ch=H1608 Gaash= near Timnath-heres (Timnath-heres@Jos.19.50-Jdg=H8556A) https://www.google.com/maps/@32.121473,35.150392,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.121473,35.150392 > #A location near Timnath-heres first mentioned at Jos.24.30;

It is most notably associated with Joshua, the successor of Moses and the leader of the Israelites during the conquest of the Promised Land. ¶According to Joshua 24:30 and Judges 2:9, after Joshua had led the Israelites into Canaan and divided the land among the tribes, he died at the age of 110 and was buried in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash. ¶The specific location of Mount Gaash is not clearly identified in the Bible, but it is believed to have been situated in the vicinity of Timnath-serah, which is thought to be modern-day Khirbet Tibnah, located approximately 20 miles (32 kilometers) southwest of Shechem. ¶In addition to being the burial place of Joshua, Mount Gaash is also mentioned in connection with two of David's mighty men. In 2Sa.23.30 and 1Ch.11.32, Hiddai (or Hurai) of the brooks of Gaash is listed among the elite warriors who fought alongside David. This suggests that the region around Mount Gaash was known for its brave and skilled fighters. ¶The mention of Mount Gaash in the Bible serves to underscore the importance of Joshua as a key figure in Israel's history and his significant role in leading the people into the Promised Land. The association of this location with Joshua's burial place and the homeland of some of David's mighty men highlights the enduring legacy of faith and courage that these individuals embodied. $========== PLACE Gabbatha@Jhn.19.13=G1042 Gabbatha= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem first mentioned at Jhn.19.13;

The Gospel of John provides this detail as part of the narrative of Jesus' passion and crucifixion. ¶According to John's account, after Pilate had questioned Jesus and found no guilt in him, he brought Jesus out to the Jews and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called "The Stone Pavement," which in Aramaic is "Gabbatha." This event took place around the sixth hour on the day of Preparation for the Passover. ¶The term "Gabbatha" is an Aramaic word that means "elevated place" or "platform." The Stone Pavement, or Lithostrotos in Greek, refers to a raised, paved area, possibly adorned with mosaic or stone tiles. This platform was likely located in the open courtyard of Herod's palace in Jerusalem, where the Roman governor would conduct official business and pronounce judgments. ¶The mention of Gabbatha in the context of Jesus' trial highlights the political and judicial aspects of the proceedings. Pilate, as the Roman governor, represented the authority of the Roman Empire, and his seating on the judgment seat at Gabbatha underscores the official nature of the trial and the verdict he would render. ¶The specific location of Gabbatha within Jerusalem is not conclusively known, but it is believed to have been near the present-day Antonia Fortress, north of the Temple Mount. Archaeological excavations in the area have uncovered remains of a large, paved courtyard that may have been the Stone Pavement mentioned in the Gospel of John. ¶The reference to Gabbatha in the Bible provides a vivid detail of the setting of Jesus' trial and the events leading up to his crucifixion. It also offers insight into the political and judicial realities of the time, as well as the significance of the location where the momentous decision regarding Jesus' fate was made. $========== PLACE Galatia@Act.16.6-1Pe=G1053 Galatia https://www.google.com/maps/@37.57813498250009,32.45318282875567,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@37.57813498250009,32.45318282875567 > #A location first mentioned at Act.16.6;

It was named after the Galatians, a Celtic people who settled in the area in the 3rd century BC. In the New Testament, Galatia is mentioned several times in connection with the Apostle Paul's missionary work and his epistle to the Galatians. Paul visited the region of Galatia on his first and second missionary journeys (Act.16.6; 18:23), establishing churches and preaching the gospel. He later wrote a letter to the churches in Galatia, addressing issues of faith, justification, and Christian liberty (Galatians 1:2). In his epistle, Paul expressed concern about the Galatians being led astray by false teachings and emphasized the importance of salvation through faith in Christ alone (Galatians 3:1; 6:18). Galatia is also mentioned in other New Testament passages, such as 1Co.16.1, where Paul instructs the Galatian churches to participate in a collection for the believers in Jerusalem, and 2Ti.4.10, where it is noted that Crescens had gone to Galatia. Additionally, 1Pe.1.1 includes Galatia among the regions where the apostle Peter addressed his letter to the scattered believers. $========== PLACE Galilee@Jos.12.23-Act=H1551 Galilee https://www.google.com/maps/@32.70674542474383,35.30152807767973,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.70674542474383,35.30152807767973 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.12.23;

In the Old Testament, Galilee is mentioned as part of the tribal allotments of Naphtali (Joshua 20:7) and Zebulun (Joshua 21:32), and as a region that Solomon gave to Hiram, king of Tyre (1Ki.9.11). ¶In the New Testament, Galilee plays a significant role in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Jesus grew up in Nazareth, a town in Galilee (Luke 2:39), and began his public ministry in the region after being baptized by John the Baptist (Matthew 3:13; Mrk.1.9). Many of Jesus' disciples, including Peter, Andrew, James, and John, were from Galilee (Act.1.11). ¶Throughout the Gospels, Jesus is recorded as traveling and teaching extensively in Galilee, performing miracles and drawing large crowds (Matthew 4:23-25; Mrk.1.28, 39; Luke 4:14, 44). Notable events in Galilee include the wedding at Cana (Jhn.2.1-11), the healing of the centurion's servant (Luke 7:1-10), and the feeding of the five thousand (Luke 9:10-17). ¶Galilee was also the location of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances to his disciples (Matthew 28:7, 10, 16; Jhn.21.1-14). After Jesus' ascension, the early church spread throughout Galilee, Judea, and Samaria (Act.9.31). ¶In addition to its religious significance, Galilee was known for its agricultural fertility and was an important center of trade and commerce. The region was inhabited by a mix of Jews and Gentiles, and was known for its distinct accent and dialect (Matthew 26:69; Mrk.14.70; Luke 22:59). ¶The Bible also mentions several political and social events connected to Galilee, such as the census during the time of Jesus' birth (Luke 2:1-4), the rule of Herod Antipas as tetrarch of Galilee (Luke 3:1), and the Galileans whose blood Pilate mixed with their sacrifices (Luke 13:1-2). $========== PLACE Gallim@1Sa.25.44-Isa=H1554 Gallim https://www.google.com/maps/@31.816667,35.250000,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.816667,35.250000 > #A location first mentioned at 1Sa.25.44;

It is referenced in two separate contexts in the Old Testament. ¶In 1Sa.25.44, Gallim is identified as the hometown of Paltiel, the man to whom King Saul gave his daughter Michal in marriage after she had previously been married to David. This event occurred during the time when David was fleeing from Saul's pursuit and Saul had given Michal to Paltiel as a political move to strengthen his own position. ¶Later, in Isaiah 10:30, Gallim is mentioned in a prophetic passage describing the advance of the Assyrian army toward Jerusalem. In this context, the town is personified as a daughter who is called to cry out, along with other nearby towns, in the face of the impending invasion. ¶The exact location of Gallim is not specified in the Bible, but it is believed to have been situated north of Jerusalem, possibly near the town of Anathoth in the territory of Benjamin. The name "Gallim" is derived from the Hebrew word meaning "springs" or "heaps," possibly indicating the presence of water sources or mounds in the area. $========== PLACE Gamad@Ezk.27.11=H1575 Gamad= near Arvad (Arvad@Ezk.27.8-=H0719) https://www.google.com/maps/@34.856082,35.858485,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@34.856082,35.858485 > #A location near Arvad only mentioned at Ezk.27.11;

In this passage, Ezekiel describes the wealth, splendor, and trade relationships of Tyre, portraying it as a prosperous and well-defended city. ¶Among the various peoples and nations listed as contributing to Tyre's defense and commerce, the Gamad are specifically mentioned as being "in your towers." This suggests that they served as guards or watchmen on the city's fortifications, helping to protect Tyre from potential threats. ¶The exact identity and origin of the Gamad are not provided in the biblical text, and there is limited historical or archaeological information about them outside of this single reference. Some scholars propose that they may have been a tribe or clan from the region around Tyre, possibly of Phoenician or Syrian origin, but this remains uncertain. ¶The mention of the Gamad in Ezekiel's prophecy serves to underscore the extensive network of alliances and trade relationships that Tyre had established, as well as the city's formidable defenses. However, despite the presence of the Gamad and other defenders, Ezekiel's prophecy ultimately foretells the downfall and destruction of Tyre at the hands of its enemies. $========== PLACE Gareb@Jer.31.39=H1619H Gareb= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem only mentioned at Jer.31.39;

The name "Gareb" is derived from a Hebrew word meaning "scabby" or "leprous," which may suggest that the hill was associated with a place where people with skin diseases were quarantined. ¶Jeremiah's prophecy indicates that, in the future, Jerusalem will be rebuilt and its boundaries will be extended to include the hill of Gareb.

It was located in the coastal plain of Philistia, near the border with Judah. The city is mentioned numerous times throughout the Old Testament, often in the context of conflicts between the Israelites and the Philistines. ¶During the conquest of Canaan, Gath was one of the last strongholds of the Anakim, a race of giants (Joshua 11:22). The city gained prominence as the hometown of Goliath, the giant warrior who was defeated by David in single combat (1Sa.17.4, 23). ¶Gath played a significant role in the life of David. When fleeing from King Saul, David sought refuge in Gath, where he pretended to be insane to avoid arousing suspicion (1Sa.21.10-15). Later, David returned to Gath and served under King Achish, who gave him the town of Ziklag (1Sa.27.2-6). ¶The city was captured by David during his reign as king (1Ch.18.1), and it was also attacked by later Israelite kings, such as Uzziah (2Ch.26.6) and Hezekiah (2Ki.18.8). The term "Gittite" is used to refer to people from Gath, such as Obed-Edom, in whose house the Ark of the Covenant was temporarily kept (2Sa.6.10-11). ¶Gath is also mentioned in prophetic texts, such as Amo.6.2 and Micah 1:10, which speak of the city's destruction and the fate of its inhabitants. The exact location of Gath is uncertain, but it is believed to be Tell es-Safi, an archaeological site in modern-day Israel. $========== PLACE Gath-hepher@Jos.19.13-2Ki=H1662 Gath-hepher https://www.google.com/maps/@32.73918470119603,35.32822661816711,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.73918470119603,35.32822661816711 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.19.13;

It is primarily known as the hometown of the prophet Jonah, who was called by God to preach to the people of Nineveh (2Ki.14.25). ¶The town is first mentioned in Joshua 19:13, where it is listed among the cities and villages allotted to the tribe of Zebulun during the division of the Promised Land. Its exact location is uncertain, but it is believed to have been situated in the region of Lower Galilee, near the border with Asher. ¶Apart from being the birthplace of Jonah, no other significant events or individuals are associated with Gath-hepher in the Bible. The mention of Jonah's origins in 2Ki.14.25 serves to provide background information about the prophet and to emphasize his Israelite heritage. ¶The name Gath-hepher is composed of two elements: "Gath," meaning "winepress," and "hepher," which may be derived from a root meaning "to dig" or "to explore."

The city is associated with two different tribes: Dan and Manasseh. ¶In Joshua 19:45, Gath-rimmon is listed among the cities allotted to the tribe of Dan in the coastal plain of Canaan. Later, in Joshua 21:24 and 1Ch.6.69, it is mentioned as one of the cities given to the Kohathite Levites within the territory of Dan. ¶However, in the parallel passage of 1Ch.6.70, Gath-rimmon is also listed among the cities given to the Kohathite Levites within the territory of Manasseh. This apparent discrepancy may be due to textual errors or could indicate that there were two cities named Gath-rimmon, one in Dan and another in Manasseh. ¶The Levites, who were not given a specific territorial inheritance like the other tribes, were distributed among the various tribes to serve as priests, teachers, and judges. The Levitical cities, such as Gath-rimmon, provided them with places to live and pasture lands for their livestock. ¶The name Gath-rimmon is composed of two elements: "Gath," meaning "winepress," and "rimmon," which can mean "pomegranate" or "thunderbolt."

Located in the southwestern coastal plain of Canaan, Gaza was situated near the border with Egypt and served as an important trade center. ¶The city is first mentioned in Genesis 10:19 as part of the description of the Canaanite territories. During the conquest of Canaan, Joshua defeated the king of Gaza (Joshua 10:41), but the city remained under Philistine control (Joshua 11:22). ¶Gaza is perhaps best known for its association with Samson, the Israelite judge with extraordinary strength. Samson visited Gaza and fell in love with a Philistine woman named Delilah (Judges 16:1). Later, after being betrayed by Delilah and captured by the Philistines, Samson was imprisoned in Gaza and ultimately brought down the temple of Dagon, killing himself and many Philistines (Judges 16:21-30). ¶Throughout the Old Testament, Gaza is mentioned in the context of conflicts between the Israelites and the Philistines (Judges 6:4; 1Sa.6.17) and as a target of prophetic judgment (Jeremiah 47:5; Amo.1.6-7; Zephaniah 2:4; Zechariah 9:5). ¶In the New Testament, Gaza is mentioned in Act.8.26, where an angel directs Philip the evangelist to travel on the road from Jerusalem to Gaza. Along this road, Philip encounters an Ethiopian eunuch and shares the gospel with him, leading to the eunuch's conversion and baptism. ¶The name Gaza is believed to be derived from the Hebrew root meaning "to be strong" or "to be fierce," possibly reflecting the city's reputation as a well-fortified and powerful center. The name Ayyah, mentioned in 1Ch.7.28, is thought to be an alternate name for Gaza or a nearby town. $========== PLACE Geba@Jos.18.24-Zec=H1387G Geba_1 https://www.google.com/maps/@31.85787804122625,35.25975521608824,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.85787804122625,35.25975521608824 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.18.24;

Later, during the reign of King Asa of Judah, Geba was fortified using materials from Ramah, which Asa had destroyed (1Ki.15.22; 2Ch.16.6). ¶After the Babylonian exile, Geba was one of the cities resettled by the returning Israelites (Ezra 2:26; Nehemiah 7:30). It was also mentioned as a city inhabited by the Levites and singers (Nehemiah 11:31; 12:29). ¶The prophet Isaiah mentions Geba in a prophecy concerning the advance of the Assyrian army towards Jerusalem (Isaiah 10:29). In a future prophecy, Zechariah declares that the land will be inhabited from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, indicating the extent of the restored land (Zechariah 14:10). ¶Geba's location on the northern border of Judah made it a strategically important city throughout Israel's history, serving as a defensive outpost and a Levitical city. $========== PLACE Gebal@Jos.13.5-Ezk=H1380 Gebal https://www.google.com/maps/@34.11910360710159,35.6461419556213,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@34.11910360710159,35.6461419556213 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.13.5;

The "elders" and "wise men" of Gebal are specifically mentioned as being employed on Tyrian ships. ¶Gebal is also listed in Psalm 83:7 among the nations that formed a coalition against Israel, along with Edom, Moab, and others. This suggests that Gebal, at times, was hostile towards Israel and aligned with its enemies. ¶However, in 1Ki.5.18, the Gebalites (people of Gebal) are mentioned alongside the Sidonians as skilled stonecutters who helped prepare the stones for the construction of Solomon's temple in Jerusalem. This indicates that Gebal also had a role in providing materials and labor for this important project. ¶The city of Gebal has a long history, with evidence of occupation dating back to the Bronze Age. It was an important center of trade and religion, particularly associated with the worship of the goddess Baalat Gebal.

In 1Ch.27.28, Baal-hanan the Gederite is mentioned as one of David's overseers in charge of the olive and sycamore trees in the Shephelah region, indicating that he likely hailed from Gederah. ¶Additionally, in 1Ch.12.4, Jozabad the Gederathite is listed among David's mighty men who joined him at Ziklag when he was fleeing from Saul. This suggests that Jozabad was a skilled warrior from Gederah who pledged his allegiance to David. ¶The exact location of Gederah is not specified in the Bible, but based on its association with the Shephelah and its proximity to other known towns, it is believed to have been situated in the western foothills of Judah, southwest of Jerusalem. $========== PLACE Gederoth@Jos.15.41-2Ch=H1450 Gederoth= near Gederah (Gederah@Jos.15.36-1Ch=H1449) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.823337,34.777779,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.823337,34.777779 > #A location near Gederah first mentioned at Jos.15.41;

It is listed among the towns allotted to the tribe of Judah in Joshua 15:41, along with other nearby settlements such as Beth-dagon, Naamah, and Makkedah. ¶The town is most notably mentioned in 2Ch.28.18 in the context of the reign of King Ahaz of Judah. During this time, the Philistines, taking advantage of Judah's weakened state, launched an invasion and captured several towns in the Shephelah, including Gederoth, Beth-shemesh, and Aijalon. They also attacked the Negev region and settled in the captured towns. ¶The Philistine conquest of Gederoth and other towns in the Shephelah demonstrates the vulnerability of Judah's borders and the ongoing threat posed by its neighboring enemies.

It is listed alongside other towns such as Shaaraim, Adithaim, and Gederah. ¶The name "Gederothaim" is derived from the Hebrew word "geder," meaning "wall" or "fence," with the dual ending "-aim," indicating that the town may have consisted of two parts or had a double wall. ¶Apart from its inclusion in the list of allotted towns, no other information about Gederothaim is provided in the Bible. Its mention serves to delineate the extent of Judah's territory and to emphasize the thoroughness of the allotment process. ¶The exact location of Gederothaim is unknown, but based on its association with the Shephelah and its proximity to other towns mentioned in the same list, it is believed to have been situated in the western foothills of Judah, southwest of Jerusalem. ¶The lack of further biblical references to Gederothaim suggests that it may have been a relatively small or less significant settlement compared to other towns in the region.

This Gedor is likely a different location from the town of Gedor mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. ¶According to the text, the Simeonites, faced with a shortage of pasture for their growing herds, traveled to the entrance of Gedor, to the east of the valley, in search of suitable grazing land. They found rich and good pasture there, and the land was spacious, quiet, and peaceful, as some of the descendants of Ham had previously settled there. ¶The Simeonites, led by Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, attacked and defeated the Hamites and Meunites who inhabited the region, destroying them completely. They then settled in the area themselves, as it provided ample pasture for their flocks. ¶This event took place during the reign of Hezekiah, king of Judah, which suggests that it occurred sometime between 715 and 686 BC. The Simeonites' search for new pasture lands reflects the challenges faced by pastoral communities in ancient Israel and their willingness to migrate and engage in conflict to secure resources for their livestock. ¶The specific location of this Gedor is uncertain, but it is described as being to the east of a valley and having been previously inhabited by descendants of Ham, suggesting that it may have been situated in the Negev region or beyond, possibly in the direction of Edom or Sinai. $========== PERSON+PLACE Gedor@Jos.12.13-1Ch=H1446G Gedor_1 Penuel@1Ch.4.4 + Jered@1Ch.4.18 https://www.google.com/maps/@31.633330,35.083333,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.633330,35.083333 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.12.13;

Additionally, in 1Ch.4.18, Jered, the father of Gedor, is listed among the descendants of Ezrah, another member of the tribe of Judah. ¶Gedor is also associated with some of the mighty men who joined David at Ziklag when he was fleeing from Saul. In 1Ch.12.7, Joelah and Zebadiah, sons of Jeroham of Gedor, are mentioned among the Benjamite warriors who came to David's aid. ¶In Joshua 12:13, Geder is mentioned in the context of the kings defeated by Joshua during the conquest of Canaan. The king of Geder is listed among the thirty-one kings who were conquered by the Israelites under Joshua's leadership. ¶The exact location of Gedor is not specified in the Bible, but based on its association with the hill country of Judah and its proximity to other known towns, it is believed to have been situated southwest of Jerusalem, possibly near the modern-day village of Khirbet Jedur. $========== PLACE Ge-harashim@1Ch.4.14-Neh=H2798H1516K Joab@1Ch.4.14=H3097H https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 > #A location first mentioned at 1Ch.4.14;

This suggests that the valley was associated with skilled artisans and craftsmen from the tribe of Judah. ¶In Nehemiah 11:35, Ge-harashim is mentioned again, this time in the context of the resettlement of Jerusalem and the surrounding towns after the Babylonian exile. The passage states that some of the Benjamites, along with people from Judah, settled in various towns, including Ge-harashim. ¶The mention of Benjamites settling in Ge-harashim during the post-exilic period indicates that the valley had become a place of residence for people from different tribes, particularly those known for their craftsmanship and artisanal skills. ¶The exact location of Ge-harashim is not specified in the Bible, but based on its association with the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, it is believed to have been situated somewhere in the Judean hill country, possibly near Jerusalem or in the Shephelah region. ¶The name "Valley of Craftsmen" suggests that the area was known for its concentration of skilled artisans, possibly including metalworkers, potters, weavers, and other craftsmen.

It is mentioned in the New Testament Gospels in connection with several events in the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. ¶In Matthew 14:34 and Mrk.6.53, Gennesaret is described as the place where Jesus and his disciples landed after crossing the Sea of Galilee, following the miraculous feeding of the five thousand and Jesus walking on water. Upon landing, the people of the region recognized Jesus and brought the sick to him to be healed. ¶Luke 5:1 mentions the Lake of Gennesaret as the location where Jesus taught the crowds from Simon Peter's boat and performed the miraculous catch of fish, leading to the calling of Peter, James, and John as his disciples. ¶The Plain of Gennesaret is known for its fertile soil and mild climate, which allow for the cultivation of a wide variety of crops. In ancient times, the region was famous for its wheat, barley, melons, figs, and other fruits. The area was also known for its fishing industry, as the Sea of Galilee was rich in fish. ¶The exact extent of the Plain of Gennesaret is not specified in the Bible, but it is generally believed to have stretched from the town of Capernaum in the north to the town of Magdala in the south, covering an area of approximately 3 miles long and 1 mile wide (5 km by 1.6 km). ¶The region's fertility and its proximity to the Sea of Galilee made it an important agricultural and economic center in ancient times.

It was located in the region between Kadesh and Shur, in what would become the southern part of Philistine territory. ¶ The city features prominently in patriarchal narratives. Abraham sojourned there, where its king Abimelech ruled. During this stay, Abraham presented Sarah as his sister, leading to a diplomatic incident with Abimelech (Genesis 20:1-2). Later, Isaac also dwelt in Gerar during a famine, repeating his father's pattern by claiming Rebekah was his sister (Genesis 26:1,6). ¶ Gerar possessed valuable agricultural land and water resources. Isaac sowed crops there and received a hundredfold return. The area was known for its wells, which became sources of conflict between Isaac's herdsmen and those of Gerar (Genesis 26:17,20). Despite these tensions, the king of Gerar ultimately sought a peace treaty with Isaac (Genesis 26:26). ¶ Several centuries later, King Asa of Judah pursued defeated enemies to Gerar in a major military campaign. His forces captured the city and plundered all the surrounding towns, which were noted to contain much spoil (2Ch.14.13-14). ¶ Probably corresponds to Tell Abu Hureira (Tel Haror) in the northern Negev of modern Israel, though some scholars suggest Tel Gerar as an alternative location. ¶ Gerar was a significant city spanning from patriarchal times through the period of the divided monarchy, notable for both its agricultural resources and strategic importance. $========== PLACE Gerasa@Mat.8.28-Luk=G1086G https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 > #A location first mentioned at Mat.8.28;

The accounts of this event are found in Mrk.5.1, Luke 8:26-37, and Matthew 8:28-34. ¶According to the Gospel narratives, after crossing the Sea of Galilee, Jesus and his disciples arrived in the region of the Gerasenes (or Gadarenes). There, they encountered a man (or two men) who was possessed by demons and lived among the tombs. The demon-possessed man was extremely violent and could not be restrained, even with chains. ¶When Jesus commanded the demons to come out of the man, they begged him to send them into a nearby herd of pigs. Jesus granted their request, and the demons entered the pigs, causing the herd to rush down a steep bank into the Sea of Galilee and drown. The man (or men) was then found sitting at Jesus' feet, clothed and in his right mind. ¶The exact location of this event is somewhat uncertain, as there are textual variations in the Gospels regarding the name of the place. Some manuscripts mention the region of the Gerasenes, while others refer to the Gadarenes. Gerasa (modern-day Jerash) was a city located about 37 miles (60 kilometers) southeast of the Sea of Galilee, while Gadara (modern-day Umm Qais) was a city located about 6 miles (10 kilometers) southeast of the Sea of Galilee. The discrepancy in the location has led to various explanations: ¶1) The region of the Gerasenes/Gadarenes may have extended to the Sea of Galilee, even though the cities were some distance away. The "country of the Gerasenes/Gadarenes" could refer to a wider area around these cities. ¶2) There may have been a small town called Gergesa or Gersa near the Sea of Galilee, which was part of the larger region of the Gerasenes or Gadarenes. Some ancient manuscripts mention the "Gergesenes," possibly referring to this town. ¶3) The gospel writers may have used the names of the larger, more well-known cities to help their readers understand the general location, even if the exact site was closer to the Sea of Galilee. ¶4) Matthew, writing primarily to a Jewish audience, may have used "Gadarenes" because Gadara was a prominent city in the region, while Mark and Luke, writing to Gentile audiences, used "Gerasenes" as Gerasa was an important Gentile city. ¶Despite the variations in the place names, the gospel accounts agree that the healing of the demoniac took place on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee, in a predominantly Gentile region. The presence of pigs, considered unclean by Jews, further confirms the Gentile character of the area. $========== PLACE Gerizim_Mount@Deu.11.29-Jdg=H1630 Mount Gerizim https://www.google.com/maps/@32.19956174365378,35.27285228460234,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.19956174365378,35.27285228460234 > #A location first mentioned at Deu.11.29;

It is mentioned in the Bible as a place of significant events and religious importance. ¶In Deu.11.29 and 27:12, Moses instructed the Israelites that when they crossed the Jordan River and entered the Promised Land, they were to pronounce blessings from Mount Gerizim and curses from Mount Ebal. This event took place under Joshua's leadership, as recorded in Joshua 8:33, where half of the tribes stood in front of Mount Gerizim and the other half in front of Mount Ebal, as the blessings and curses were read aloud. ¶Mount Gerizim is also associated with the parable of Jotham, son of Gideon, as recorded in Judges 9:7. After his brother Abimelech killed their seventy brothers and was made king by the men of Shechem, Jotham stood on top of Mount Gerizim and told a parable about the trees anointing a king over themselves. The parable was a warning against Abimelech's treachery and the folly of the men of Shechem in supporting him. ¶In later history, Mount Gerizim became a sacred site for the Samaritans, who built a temple there in the 5th century BC. They believed that Mount Gerizim, rather than Jerusalem, was the chosen place for worship. This led to tensions between the Samaritans and the Jews, as evident in the conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well (Jhn.4.20-21). ¶Today, Mount Gerizim, along with Mount Ebal, continues to be an important religious and archaeological site, with ruins of the Samaritan temple and other ancient structures still visible. $========== PLACE Geruth_Chimham@Jer.41.17=H1628 Geruth Chimham= near Bethlehem_1 (Bethlehem@Gen.35.16-Jhn=H1035G) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.70536129174666,35.21026630105202,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.70536129174666,35.21026630105202 > #A location near Bethlehem only mentioned at Jer.41.17;

Fearing retaliation from the Babylonians for Gedaliah's murder, Johanan and his group, along with the rescued captives, sought refuge in Geruth Chimham, which was near Bethlehem. ¶The name "Geruth Chimham" suggests that it was a lodging place or caravanserai associated with someone named Chimham. Some scholars believe that this Chimham may have been the son of Barzillai the Gileadite, who is mentioned in 2Sa.19.37-40 as having provided for King David during his flight from Absalom. David, in return, offered to care for Chimham and allow him to return to Jerusalem with him. ¶If this connection is accurate, it is possible that David granted Chimham a piece of land near Bethlehem, where he established a lodging place for travelers. This would explain why Johanan and his group sought refuge there, as it was a known and established location. ¶The mention of Geruth Chimham in Jeremiah 41:17 highlights the chaos and fear that followed the Babylonian conquest and the murder of Gedaliah, as well as the desperate measures taken by those seeking to escape potential retribution. It also provides a glimpse into the practice of establishing lodging places for travelers in ancient times. $========== PLACE Geshur@Deu.3.14-1Ch=H1650 Geshur https://www.google.com/maps/@33.000000,36.416670,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.000000,36.416670 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.13.13;

It bordered the Israelite territories of Manasseh and Maacah, as mentioned in Deu.3.14 and Joshua 12:5; 13:11. ¶The kingdom of Geshur played a significant role in the life of King David and his family. David married Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur (2Sa.3.3; 1Ch.3.2). Maacah was the mother of Absalom and Tamar, two of David's children who were involved in a tragic family conflict. ¶After Absalom murdered his half-brother Amnon in revenge for the rape of his sister Tamar, he fled to Geshur and sought refuge with his grandfather, King Talmai (2Sa.13.37-38). Absalom remained in Geshur for three years before Joab, David's commander, arranged for his return to Jerusalem (2Sa.14.23,32). ¶Later, when Absalom rebelled against his father David, he went to Geshur to gather support and raise an army (2Sa.15.8). This suggests that Absalom maintained ties with his maternal grandfather's kingdom and used it as a base for his political ambitions. ¶In Joshua 13:13, it is mentioned that the Israelites did not drive out the Geshurites, indicating that they coexisted with the Aramean kingdom. However, during the reign of Solomon, it seems that Geshur came under Israelite control, as 1Ch.2.23 mentions that Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took Geshur and Aram and their towns. ¶The biblical narrative portrays Geshur as an independent Aramean kingdom that had close ties with the Israelite royal family through marriage alliances. Its location and political significance made it a place of refuge and a potential source of support for those involved in the power struggles within the Israelite monarchy. $========== PLACE Gethsemane@Mat.26.36-Mrk=G1068 Gethsemane= near Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location near Jerusalem first mentioned at Mat.26.36;

It is mentioned in the New Testament Gospels as the place where Jesus went to pray and was later arrested before his crucifixion. ¶The name "Gethsemane" is derived from the Aramaic words "gat shemanim," meaning "oil press," suggesting that the garden may have contained an olive press or was located in an area known for olive oil production. ¶According to Matthew 26:36 and Mrk.14.32, after the Last Supper, Jesus went with his disciples to Gethsemane. He took Peter, James, and John with him and asked them to stay awake and pray while he went further into the garden to pray alone. In his agony, Jesus prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not as I will, but as you will" (Matthew 26:39). ¶During his prayer, Jesus was deeply distressed and sorrowful, to the point of sweating drops of blood (Luke 22:44). This intense emotional and spiritual struggle underscores the significance of Gethsemane as the place where Jesus fully embraced his impending suffering and death. After his prayer, Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot and arrested. $========== PLACE Gezer@Jos.10.33-1Ch=H1507 Gezer https://www.google.com/maps/@31.87611111111111,34.9225,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.87611111111111,34.9225 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.10.33;

It was originally ruled by a Canaanite king, Horam, who came to the aid of Lachish but was defeated by Joshua (Joshua 10:33; 12:12). Although the city was assigned to the Levites (Joshua 21:21; 1Ch.6.67), the Ephraimites failed to drive out the Canaanites, who continued to live there (Joshua 16:10; Judges 1:29). During the reign of David, the Israelites fought battles against the Philistines at Gob (Gezer), where David's warriors defeated the giants (2Sa.21.18-19; 1Ch.20.4). David also defeated the Philistines from Geba to Gezer (2Sa.5.25; 1Ch.14.16). Later, King Solomon fortified Gezer, along with other key cities, using the labor of the Canaanites (1Ki.9.15-17). Gezer is mentioned as part of the inheritance of the descendants of Ephraim (1Ch.7.28). The city's strategic location and its history of Canaanite occupation make it a significant site in the narratives of the conquest and establishment of Israel in the Promised Land. $========== PLACE Giah@2Sa.2.24=H1520 Giah= near Ammah (Ammah@2Sa.2.24=H0522) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.869005,35.343177,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.869005,35.343177 > #A location near Ammah only mentioned at 2Sa.2.24;

It was situated near Gibeon, a prominent city in Benjamin's territory just north of Jerusalem. ¶The context of the reference to Giah is the aftermath of a battle between the forces of David and Ishbosheth, Saul's son, at the pool of Gibeon. Abner, the commander of Ishbosheth's army, was retreating after being defeated. Joab and Abishai, David's generals and brothers, pursued Abner and his men. ¶The text states that the pursuit continued "on the road to the wilderness of Gibeon" and that "the sun was going down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah on the way to the wilderness of Gibeon" (2Sa.2.24, ESV). ¶No further details are provided about Giah. It seems to have been a known landmark on the road from Gibeon toward the wilderness area to the east. The mention of the "hill of Ammah" suggests Giah was located in hilly terrain. ¶Apart from this single reference, Giah is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible or in any known extra-biblical sources.

The city gained prominence during the period of the Divided Monarchy, particularly during the reigns of Nadab and Baasha, kings of Israel. Nadab, the son of Jeroboam I, was besieging Gibbethon when he was assassinated by Baasha (1Ki.15.27). Later, during the reign of Baasha's son Elah, the Israelite army was again besieging Gibbethon when Zimri, a commander of chariots, conspired against Elah and killed him (1Ki.16.15). The siege of Gibbethon by the Israelite army suggests that the city may have been under Philistine control at the time.

Gibeah is infamously known for the horrific incident involving the concubine of a Levite, which led to a civil war between the Benjamites and the other tribes of Israel (Judges 19-20). The city was also the birthplace and residence of Saul, the first king of Israel (1Sa.10.26; 15:34). Saul and his son Jonathan used Gibeah as a base of operations during their battles against the Philistines (1Sa.13.2, 15; 14:2, 16).

It was inhabited by Hivites, a Canaanite people group. ¶When Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan, the Gibeonites tricked them into making a peace treaty by pretending to be from a distant land (Joshua 9:3-15). Despite the deception, Joshua honored the treaty when the truth was discovered. ¶Gibeon's importance is underscored by the fact that its king, Hoham, led a coalition of five Amorite kings against Israel (Joshua 10:1-5). In response, Joshua asked God for the sun to stand still during the ensuing battle, allowing Israel to defeat the coalition (Joshua 10:12-14). ¶After the conquest, Gibeon was allotted to the tribe of Benjamin and designated as a Levitical city (Joshua 18:25, 21:17). The tabernacle was set up at Gibeon for a period, and it became a major worship center (1Ch.16.39, 21:29). $========== PLACE Gidom@Jdg.20.45=H1440 Gidom= near Rimmon_1 (Rimmon@Jdg.20.45-=H7417C) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.934660,35.297063,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.934660,35.297063 > #A location near Rimmon only mentioned at Jdg.20.45;

During the battle between the Israelite tribes and the Benjamites, the Benjamites were initially successful in repelling the attacks. However, the Israelites set an ambush and lured the Benjamites away from Gibeah. As the Benjamites were retreating, they were pursued by the Israelites on the road to Gidom (Judges 20:45). The Israelites overtook the Benjamites and defeated them, striking down many of them. The reference to Gidom suggests that it was a known location near Gibeah, possibly on the route of the Benjamites' retreat. Apart from this single mention, no further details about Gidom are provided in the Bible, and its exact location is unknown. $========== PLACE Gihon@Gen.2.13-2Ch=H1521 Gihon_2 https://www.google.com/maps/@31.773116,35.237186,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.773116,35.237186 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.2.13;

First, it is mentioned as one of the four rivers that flowed from the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:13). The exact location of this river is unknown, and there is no further information provided about it in the biblical text. Second, Gihon is the name of a spring located near Jerusalem, which played a significant role in the city's water supply and in the anointing of King Solomon. It was at the Gihon spring that Solomon was anointed as king by the priest Zadok and the prophet Nathan (1Ki.1.33, 38, 45). King Hezekiah later directed the waters of the Gihon spring through a tunnel to the west side of the City of David, ensuring a reliable water supply for Jerusalem during times of siege (2Ch.32.30). King Manasseh, Hezekiah's son, built a wall outside the City of David, extending it to the west of the Gihon spring (2Ch.33.14). The Gihon spring's location and its importance for Jerusalem's water supply make it a significant site in the city's history and in the narratives of the Israelite monarchy. $========== PLACE Gilboa@1Sa.28.4-2Sa=H1533G Gilboa https://www.google.com/maps/@32.516667,35.400000,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.516667,35.400000 > #A location first mentioned at 1Sa.28.4;

It is most notably associated with the final battle and death of King Saul and his sons. The Philistines had gathered their forces at Shunem, while Saul and the Israelite army camped on Mount Gilboa (1Sa.28.4). In the ensuing battle, the Philistines fought fiercely against Israel, and Saul and his sons, including Jonathan, were killed on Mount Gilboa (1Sa.31.1-6). After the battle, the Philistines found the bodies of Saul and his sons and fastened them to the wall of Beth-shan (1Sa.31.10). Later, valiant men from Jabesh-gilead retrieved the bodies and buried them (1Sa.31.11-13; 2Sa.21.12). In his lament for Saul and Jonathan, David cursed the mountains of Gilboa, expressing his grief over their deaths (2Sa.1.21). The events at Mount Gilboa marked the end of Saul's reign and paved the way for David to become king over Israel. The mountain range stands as a reminder of the tragic fate of Saul and his sons and the transfer of power to the Davidic dynasty. $========== PLACE Gilboa_Mount@Jdg.7.3-1Ch=H1533H Mount Gilboa https://www.google.com/maps/@32.50984080716704,35.40843470396692,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.50984080716704,35.40843470396692 > #A location first mentioned at 1Sa.31.1;

It is most famously known as the site where King Saul and his sons, including Jonathan, were killed in battle against the Philistines. The Philistines had gathered their forces to fight against Israel, and the two armies met on Mount Gilboa (1Sa.31.1; 1Ch.10.1). In the fierce battle that ensued, the Philistines prevailed, and Saul and his sons were slain on the mountain (1Sa.31.8; 1Ch.10.8). The Philistines found their bodies the following day and desecrated them, displaying them on the walls of Beth-shan. The men of Jabesh-gilead later retrieved the bodies and buried them. Mount Gilboa is also mentioned in the account of Gideon's victory over the Midianites, where some of his fearful troops were allowed to depart from the mountain (Judges 7:3). The mountain range stands as a reminder of the tragic end of Saul's reign and the transfer of power to David, who would become Israel's next king. $========== PLACE Gilead@Gen.31.21-Zec=H1568G Gilead Gilead@Num.26.29-1Ch https://www.google.com/maps/@32.042523,35.724241,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.042523,35.724241 Tribe of Manasseh #A location in Manasseh Tribe first mentioned at Gen.31.21;

This Gilgal seems to have been a location where a community of prophets lived and trained, possibly different from the Gilgal mentioned in the books of Joshua and Samuel.

It was located in the Jordan Valley, near Jericho. Gilgal served as the first campsite for the Israelites after they crossed the Jordan River under Joshua's leadership (Joshua 4:19-20). It was at Gilgal that the Israelites set up twelve memorial stones taken from the Jordan and where Joshua circumcised the new generation born in the wilderness (Joshua 5:3, 9). The Passover was also celebrated at Gilgal (Joshua 5:10). Gilgal served as a base of operations for Joshua during the conquest of Canaan, with the Gibeonites coming to seek a treaty there (Joshua 9:6) and Joshua launching campaigns against the Amorite kings from Gilgal (Joshua 10:6-9, 15, 43). Later, it became a place where the Israelites assembled and where Saul was confirmed as king (1Sa.11.14-15). Samuel included Gilgal in his circuit as a judge (1Sa.7.16). However, Gilgal also became associated with idolatrous worship, as evidenced by the prophets' condemnations (Hosea 4:15; 9:15; 12:11; Amo.4.4; 5:5).

It is most notably known as the hometown of Ahithophel, a wise counselor who served King David (2Sa.23.34). However, during Absalom's rebellion against David, Ahithophel sided with Absalom and provided him with counsel (2Sa.15.12). Ahithophel's defection was a significant blow to David, given his reputation for wisdom and insight. When Absalom rejected Ahithophel's advice in favor of Hushai's counsel, Ahithophel returned to Giloh and hanged himself, perceiving that Absalom's cause was doomed (2Sa.17.23). Apart from its association with Ahithophel, little else is known about Giloh from the biblical text.

During the reign of King Ahaz of Judah, the Philistines attacked and captured Gimzo, along with its surrounding villages (2Ch.28.18). This event occurred in the context of Ahaz's unfaithfulness to God and his refusal to seek divine help, which led to various military defeats and losses of territory. The capture of Gimzo by the Philistines demonstrates the vulnerability of Judah's cities and the consequences of the king's disobedience. Apart from this single reference, no further details about Gimzo's history or significance are provided in the Bible.

The first reference is in 2Sa.4.3, which states that the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and lived there as foreigners. This event is connected to the assassination of Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, by two Beerothites (2Sa.4.5-8). ¶Beeroth was one of the four cities of the Gibeonites, who had deceived Joshua into making a peace treaty (Joshua 9:17). The flight of the Beerothites to Gittaim suggests that the town was a place of refuge, possibly located outside Israelite territory. ¶The second reference to Gittaim is in Nehemiah 11:33, which lists the towns inhabited by the Benjamites after their return from Babylonian exile. Gittaim is mentioned along with other towns in the region, indicating that it was resettled by the Benjamites during the post-exilic period. ¶The exact location of Gittaim is uncertain, but it was likely situated in Benjamite territory, north of Jerusalem. Some scholars suggest it may be identified with modern-day Ras Abu Kharrubeh, about 6 miles northeast of Jerusalem. ¶Apart from these two brief references, no other information about Gittaim is provided in the Bible.

This suggests that Goah was located outside the city walls of Jerusalem at the time of Jeremiah's prophecy.

In Ezekiel, Gog is described as the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, lands associated with the regions of Asia Minor (Ezk.38.2, 3). Gog is portrayed as a powerful enemy who will lead a coalition of nations in an attack against Israel in the latter days (Ezk.38.14-16). However, God will intervene and defeat Gog and his armies, demonstrating His power and sovereignty (Ezk.38.18-23; 39:1-6). The prophecy also mentions that Gog's forces will be buried in a place called the Valley of Hamon-gog, and the land will be cleansed (Ezk.39.11-16). In the book of Revelation, Gog and Magog are mentioned together, representing the nations that will be deceived by Satan and gather for battle against God's people at the end of the millennial reign (Revelation 20:8). The names Gog and Magog are symbolic, representing the final enemies of God's kingdom who will be ultimately defeated.

It was designated as one of the six cities of refuge, along with Kedesh and Hebron (Deu.4.43; Joshua 20:8). These cities served as places of protection for individuals who had unintentionally killed someone, providing them with a safe haven from avengers of blood until a proper trial could be conducted. Golan was also allotted to the Levites of the family of Gershon, along with other cities in the region, as part of their inheritance in the Promised Land (Joshua 21:27; 1Ch.6.71). This allocation of cities to the Levites ensured that they would be dispersed throughout the land and could carry out their priestly duties among the various tribes of Israel.

All four Gospels mention Golgotha as the site of the crucifixion (Matthew 27:33; Mrk.15.22; Luke 23:33; Jhn.19.17). The exact reason for the name is not specified in the Bible, but it may refer to the physical appearance of the site, resembling a skull, or it could be associated with a place of execution. The Gospel accounts describe how Jesus, after being sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate, was led to Golgotha, where he was crucified along with two criminals. The location of Golgotha was outside the city walls, as was customary for executions in ancient times. It is also mentioned that the site was near a garden and a tomb, which belonged to Joseph of Arimathea, where Jesus' body was later laid (Jhn.19.41-42). The crucifixion at Golgotha is the central event in the Christian faith, as it represents Jesus' sacrificial death for the sins of humanity, leading to his resurrection and the offer of salvation to all who believe in him. $========== PLACE Gomorrah@Gen.10.19-Jud=H6017 Gomorrah https://www.google.com/maps/@31.15724866533878,35.4739543300078,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.15724866533878,35.4739543300078 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.10.19;

It was located in a fertile area, well-watered like the garden of the Lord (Genesis 13:10). ¶However, the wickedness of Gomorrah and the neighboring cities was exceedingly grave (Genesis 18:20). When God revealed His plan to destroy the cities to Abraham, the patriarch pleaded for their survival if even ten righteous people could be found (Genesis 18:23-32). Ultimately, only Lot and his two daughters were spared, while Gomorrah and the other cities were destroyed by sulfur and fire from heaven (Genesis 19:24-25). ¶The destruction of Gomorrah and Sodom became a symbol of God's judgment against sin and a warning to future generations (Deu.29.23, 32:32; Isaiah 1:9-10, 13:19; Jeremiah 23:14, 49:18, 50:40; Amo.4.11; Zephaniah 2:9). In the New Testament, Jesus used Sodom and Gomorrah as an example of the fate awaiting those who reject the gospel message (Matthew 10:15; Mrk.6.11; Luke 10:12). ¶The apostle Peter cited the destruction of these cities as proof of God's judgment against the ungodly and His deliverance of the righteous (2Pe.2.6-9). Jude also referred to Sodom and Gomorrah as an example of the punishment awaiting those who indulge in sexual immorality and perversion (Jude 1:7). ¶The exact location of Gomorrah remains unknown, as the cities were completely destroyed. However, it is believed to have been situated in the area south of the Dead Sea, possibly submerged beneath its waters. $========== PLACE Goshen@Gen.45.10-Exo=H1657G Goshen_1 https://www.google.com/maps/@30.72850163814402,31.80469223616506,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.72850163814402,31.80469223616506 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.45.10;

When Joseph, as a high official in Egypt, invited his father and brothers to come to Egypt due to the famine in Canaan, he suggested that they settle in Goshen (Genesis 45:10). Jacob sent Judah ahead to meet Joseph and be directed to Goshen (Genesis 46:28-29). The Israelites presented themselves to Pharaoh and requested to settle in Goshen as shepherds (Genesis 46:34; 47:1, 4). Pharaoh granted their request and allowed them to live in the best part of the land of Goshen (Genesis 47:6). The Israelites prospered and multiplied greatly in Goshen (Genesis 47:27). During the plagues that God sent upon Egypt, Goshen was spared from the swarms of flies and the plague of hail (Exodus 8:22; 9:26). At the time of the Exodus, the Israelites left Egypt from the region of Goshen (Genesis 50:8).

The Assyrian practice of deporting conquered populations was a means of controlling and assimilating them into the Assyrian Empire. The exact location of Gozan is not specified in the Bible, but it is believed to be associated with the Khabur River, a tributary of the Euphrates River in northeastern Syria and southeastern Turkey. The name Gozan is also mentioned in the context of Sennacherib's boasting about the Assyrian conquests, where he claims that the gods of the nations, including those of Gozan, could not deliver their lands from his power (2Ki.19.12; Isaiah 37:12).

In the description of the boundaries of the land allocated to the Israelites, the Great Sea is mentioned as the western limit (Numbers 34:6-7; Joshua 15:12; Ezk.47.20). The extent of the Promised Land is described as reaching from the Red Sea to the Sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the Euphrates River (Exodus 23:31). The Great Sea played a significant role in the history and geography of the region, with many important cities and ports located along its coast. The Philistines, who were a major enemy of the Israelites, occupied the coastal plain along the Great Sea (Joshua 9:1; 15:47). In the prophetic visions of Ezekiel, the Great Sea is mentioned in the context of the boundaries of the restored land of Israel (Ezk.47.10, 15, 19; 48:28).

It is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Nehemiah 12:39, during the description of the dedication ceremony for the rebuilt wall of Jerusalem. ¶During this dedication, Nehemiah divided the leaders of Judah into two large choirs. One choir proceeded on top of the wall to the right, toward the Dung Gate (Nehemiah 12:31). The second choir, which included Nehemiah, went to the left. They marched on the wall past several gates and towers, including the Gate of Ephraim, the Old Gate, the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, the Tower of the Hundred, and the Sheep Gate, until they stopped at the Guard Gate (Nehemiah 12:38-39). ¶Based on its location in the description of the procession, the Guard Gate appears to have been situated on the eastern side of the city, near the Temple area. Many scholars believe it to be the same gate as the Muster Gate or Inspection Gate, mentioned in Nehemiah 3:31 as being near the Temple. ¶The exact purpose of this gate is not specified in the biblical text. Its name suggests it may have been a point where guards were stationed or where prisoners were kept, but this is not stated explicitly. It could also possibly refer to a place where people or goods were inspected before entering the city or Temple precincts. ¶Apart from this single reference in Nehemiah, no other information is provided about the Guard Gate in the Bible.

The practice of deporting conquered populations was a common strategy employed by the Assyrians to prevent rebellions and to integrate the conquered peoples into their empire. The exact location of the Habor River is not specified in the Bible, but it is generally identified with the Khabur River, a tributary of the Euphrates River, located in modern-day Syria and Iraq.

It is mentioned in the context of David's flight from King Saul. The Ziphites, who inhabited the area, went to Saul at Gibeah and informed him that David was hiding in the strongholds at Hachilah (1Sa.23.19). Saul sought David in the Wilderness of Ziph and camped at Hachilah (1Sa.26.1, 3). David learned of Saul's presence and sent out spies to confirm his location. In a daring move, David and Abishai sneaked into Saul's camp at night and took Saul's spear and water jug, demonstrating that he could have killed Saul but chose to spare his life (1Sa.26.4-12). The hill of Hachilah served as a strategic hideout for David, providing him with a vantage point to monitor Saul's movements and evade capture.

The prophet compares the future mourning of Jerusalem to the weeping at Hadad-rimmon in the plain of Megiddo. This is likely a reference to the lamentation over King Josiah, who was fatally wounded by Pharaoh Neco's archers at Megiddo (2Ch.35.22-25). ¶The name Hadad-rimmon combines the names of two Semitic deities: Hadad, the storm god, and Rimmon, a god of thunder, suggesting the location may have had cultic significance. Its exact location is uncertain, but it has been tentatively identified with Rummaneh, a village in the Jezreel Valley about 6 miles south of Megiddo. ¶Zechariah's prophecy uses this historic event as a metaphor for the intense mourning that will take place when God pours out a spirit of grace and supplication on Jerusalem, causing them to look on the one they have pierced and mourn bitterly (Zechariah 12:10).

In the lists of the people who returned to Judah under the leadership of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah, the men of Hadid are counted among the returnees (Ezra 2:33; Nehemiah 7:37). These lists suggest that Hadid was one of the towns resettled by the returning exiles as they reestablished their presence in the land. Hadid is also mentioned in the account of the resettlement of Jerusalem, where some of the people of Judah settled in Hadid and its surrounding villages (Nehemiah 11:34). The town's inclusion in this list indicates that it was part of the region surrounding Jerusalem and played a role in the reestablishment of Jewish communities after the exile. The exact location of Hadid is not specified in the Bible, but it is believed to be situated in the vicinity of Lod (Lydda) and Ono, towns located in the western part of Benjamin's territory, near the border with Judah. $========== PLACE Hadrach@Zec.9.1=H2317 Hadrach= near Damascus (Damascus@Gen.14.15-Gal=H1834) https://www.google.com/maps/@33.519299,36.31344999999999,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.519299,36.31344999999999 > #A location near Damascus only mentioned at Zec.9.1;

The oracle goes on to pronounce judgment against various cities and regions, including Hamath, Tyre, and Sidon. The exact location and identity of Hadrach are uncertain, as it is not mentioned in any other biblical passages or in known extra-biblical sources from the time. Some scholars suggest that Hadrach may have been a region or city located in Syria, possibly in the vicinity of Damascus, based on the context of the prophetic oracle and the other places mentioned alongside it. However, this identification remains speculative due to the lack of corroborating evidence. The mention of Hadrach in Zechariah's prophecy suggests that it was a significant place in the geopolitical landscape of the time and that it was subject to God's judgment along with other nations and cities that opposed His people. $========== PLACE Haeleph@Jos.18.28=H0507 Haeleph https://www.google.com/maps/@31.792733,35.196862,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.792733,35.196862 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.18.28;

This event is also described in 2Ki.18.11, emphasizing that the Israelites were deported because they had sinned against the Lord. ¶The third reference to Halah is in 1Ch.5.26, which states that the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria (Tiglath-Pileser III) and the spirit of Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria, who took the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh into exile, bringing them to Halah and other locations. ¶The exact location of Halah is uncertain, but it is generally believed to have been in the region of the Khabur River in northern Mesopotamia (modern-day Syria or Iraq). This area was under Assyrian control during the time of the Israelite exile. ¶The Bible does not provide any further information about Halah or the lives of the exiled Israelites there.

It is mentioned only once in the Bible, in 1Ki.7.6, as part of the detailed description of Solomon's building projects. ¶According to the biblical account, the Hall of Pillars measured fifty cubits long and thirty cubits wide (approximately 75 feet by 45 feet or 23 meters by 14 meters). It had a portico in front, likely supported by a row of pillars, and a canopy extending from the portico, possibly providing shade or shelter. ¶The specific purpose of this hall is not stated in the text. However, given its location within the palace complex and its impressive size, it may have served as a reception area, a place for public assemblies, or a venue for official ceremonies. ¶The Hall of Pillars was one of several structures mentioned in the description of Solomon's palace, which also included the House of the Forest of Lebanon, the Hall of the Throne (or Hall of Judgment), and Solomon's personal residence (1Ki.7.1-12). These buildings showcased the wealth, power, and architectural achievements of Solomon's reign. ¶The construction of the Hall of Pillars, along with the other palace structures and the Temple, demonstrated Solomon's commitment to establishing Jerusalem as a royal capital and a center of worship.

In 1Ki.7.7, it is stated that Solomon built the Hall of Judgment, where he was to judge, and it was paneled with cedar from floor to ceiling. The verse then refers to this hall as the "Hall of the Throne," indicating that the two names refer to the same room. The throne mentioned here likely refers to the royal throne from which Solomon would sit and administer justice. As the king of Israel, Solomon's throne represented his authority and his role as the supreme judge in the land. The Hall of the Throne, therefore, served as the official space where Solomon exercised his judicial responsibilities and made decisions that impacted the lives of his subjects. The use of cedar paneling in the hall added to its grandeur and significance, reflecting the importance of the king's role and the solemnity of the proceedings that took place there.

It is mentioned numerous times throughout the Old Testament, often serving as a reference point for the northern extent of Israel's territory (Numbers 13:21; 34:8; Joshua 13:5; Judges 3:3; 1Ki.8.65; 2Ch.7.8; Ezk.47.15-17, 20; 48:1; Amo.6.14). ¶Hamath had its own kings, such as Toi, who sent his son Joram to congratulate David on his victories over Hadadezer (2Sa.8.9-10; 1Ch.18.9-10). The city was known for its military strength and strategic importance, as evidenced by its mentions in the context of conflicts and conquests (2Ki.14.28; 17:24, 30; 18:34; 19:13; Isaiah 10:9; 36:19; 37:13; Jeremiah 39:5; 49:23; 52:9, 27). ¶During the reigns of various Israelite kings, Hamath served as a marker of the extent of their dominion. Jeroboam II, king of Israel, is said to have restored the border of Israel from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah (2Ki.14.25). Solomon, known for his expansive kingdom, is described as having ruled over all the kingdoms from the Euphrates River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt, including Tiphsah and Gaza (1Ki.4.21, 24). ¶The Assyrians conquered Hamath in the 8th century BC and deported some of its inhabitants to Samaria (2Ki.17.24, 30). The fall of Hamath is mentioned in the prophetic oracles of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Amos, often in the context of judgment against the city for its pride and wickedness (Isaiah 10:9; Jeremiah 49:23; Amo.6.2). ¶In the prophetic visions of Ezekiel, Hamath is mentioned as one of the boundaries of the restored land of Israel (Ezk.47.15-17, 20; 48:1), indicating its continued significance as a geographical marker. ¶The exact location of Hamath is believed to be near the modern-day city of Hama in western Syria, situated along the Orontes River. Its strategic location along trade routes and its proximity to Israel made it a city of great importance in the ancient Near East. $========== PLACE Hammath@Jos.19.28-1Ch=H2575A Hammath Hammath@1Ch.2.55 https://www.google.com/maps/@33.125828,35.165000,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.125828,35.165000 Tribe of Judah #A location in Judah Tribe first mentioned at Jos.19.35;

It is mentioned in the book of Joshua as one of the fortified cities in Naphtali (Joshua 19:35) and as a city given to the Levites from the tribe of Naphtali (Joshua 21:32; 1Ch.6.76). The Levites were the priestly tribe of Israel, and they were allocated cities throughout the land to fulfill their religious duties and serve the people. ¶The exact location of Hammath is not specified in the Bible, but it is believed to be situated in the Upper Galilee region, near the Sea of Galilee. Some scholars identify it with the modern-day site of Hammat Tiberias, known for its hot springs, located south of Tiberias on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. ¶Apart from its mention in the lists of cities and Levitical towns, no further details about Hammath's history, size, or significance are provided in the Bible.

The name "Hamonah" is derived from the Hebrew word "hamon," meaning "multitude" or "horde." ¶In the context of Ezekiel's prophecy, Hamonah is associated with the aftermath of the battle against Gog and his armies. The preceding verses describe how God will strike down Gog and his hordes on the mountains of Israel, leaving their bodies to be consumed by birds and beasts (Ezk.39.1-4). ¶The slain army of Gog will be so numerous that it will take seven months for the people of Israel to bury them and cleanse the land (Ezk.39.12-14). The place where Gog's multitude is buried will be called the Valley of Hamon-gog, meaning "the multitude of Gog" (Ezk.39.11). ¶After this burial, the city nearby will be renamed Hamonah (Ezk.39.16). The renaming of the city to "Multitude" or "Horde" serves as a lasting reminder of the immense number of Gog's soldiers who were defeated and buried there. ¶The exact location of Hamonah is not specified in the text, and there is no historical record of a city by this name. As Ezekiel's prophecy is highly symbolic and apocalyptic, the city of Hamonah may not refer to a literal, physical city but rather serves as a metaphor for the complete destruction and burial of God's enemies. ¶The prophecy of Hamonah and the defeat of Gog underscores God's ultimate victory over the forces of evil and His protection of His people, Israel. It also emphasizes the importance of cleansing the land from the defilement caused by sin and God's enemies. $========== PLACE Hamon-gog_Valley@Ezk.39.11-=H1996 Valley of Hamon-gog= near Dibon_1 (Diblathaim@Num.33.46-Jer=H5963) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.49684513710609,35.78284105296996,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.49684513710609,35.78284105296996 > #A location near Diblathaim first mentioned at Ezk.39.11;

In Ezekiel's vision, Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, leads a great army against Israel in the latter days. However, God intervenes and defeats Gog and his army, causing them to fall upon the mountains of Israel (Ezekiel 38-39). ¶After this decisive battle, the Valley of Hamon-gog is designated as the burial place for Gog and his hordes (Ezk.39.11). The name "Hamon-gog" means "the multitude of Gog," reflecting the vast number of soldiers in Gog's army. The valley is described as being east of the sea, likely referring to the Dead Sea, and it will be a place of renown, known for the mass burial of Gog's defeated forces. ¶The prophecy also mentions that the people of Israel will be burying the remains of Gog's army for seven months to cleanse the land (Ezk.39.12-16). The valley will be renamed the "Valley of Hamon-gog" as a reminder of God's judgment upon Gog and his forces. ¶The exact location of the Valley of Hamon-gog is not specified in the Bible, as it is a prophetic place associated with future events. The prophecy of Gog and Magog's defeat and the subsequent burial in the Valley of Hamon-gog serves as a powerful message of God's sovereignty and protection over His people, Israel, in the face of overwhelming adversity. $========== PLACE Hanes@Isa.30.4=H2609 Hanes https://www.google.com/maps/@29.085425,30.934402,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@29.085425,30.934402 > #A location only mentioned at Isa.30.4;

In a prophecy concerning Judah's futile reliance on Egypt for protection against the Assyrian threat, Isaiah declares that Judah's princes were at Zoan, and their envoys had arrived at Hanes (Isaiah 30:4). ¶The exact location of Hanes is uncertain, but it is believed to be situated in ancient Egypt, possibly in the Nile Delta region. Some scholars identify it with the city of Heracleopolis Magna, known as "Hnen-nesut" in ancient Egyptian texts, which was located near the entrance of the Faiyum region. ¶Isaiah's prophecy condemns Judah's political alliance with Egypt, portraying it as a useless and shameful endeavor. The mention of Hanes, along with Zoan (Tanis), another Egyptian city, highlights the extent of Judah's diplomatic efforts to secure Egypt's support against the impending Assyrian invasion. ¶Apart from this single reference in Isaiah, Hanes is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. Its inclusion in the prophecy serves to underscore the futility of Judah's reliance on human alliances, particularly with Egypt, instead of trusting in God for protection and deliverance. $========== PLACE Hannathon@Jos.19.14=H2615 Hannathon https://www.google.com/maps/@32.916002,35.426637,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.916002,35.426637 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.19.14;

In the description of Zebulun's boundaries, Hannathon is mentioned as one of the towns marking the eastern border of their territory (Joshua 19:14). ¶The exact location of Hannathon is not specified in the Bible, but based on the description of Zebulun's borders, it is believed to have been situated in the lower Galilee region, likely near the Kishon River. The town's name, Hannathon, is of Hebrew origin and means "favored" or "gracious." ¶Apart from its mention in the delineation of Zebulun's territory, no further information about Hannathon is provided in the Bible. Its inclusion in the boundary description suggests that it was a recognized landmark or settlement during the time of the Israelite conquest and settlement of Canaan. ¶The tribe of Zebulun, along with the tribes of Issachar and Naphtali, occupied the fertile lands of the Galilee region.

The exact location of Hara is uncertain, but it is believed to be in the region of Media, as suggested by the Septuagint's rendering of "ore Medon" (mountains of the Medes) and the additional phrase "and in the cities of the Medes" found in 2Ki.17.6 and 18:11, where Hara is omitted from the list of places.

It is listed in Numbers 33:24-25, which records the stages of Israel's journey in the wilderness. ¶According to the text, the Israelites set out from Makheloth and camped at Tahath. From there, they moved on and camped at Terah. Then they set out from Terah and camped at Mithkah. The next stop after Mithkah was Hashmonah, followed by Moseroth, Bene-jaakan, Hor-haggidgad, and Jotbathah. After Jotbathah, they camped at Abronah, and then at Ezion-geber. Finally, they set out from Ezion-geber and camped in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.

It played a crucial role in the life of Abraham and his family. After leaving Ur of the Chaldeans, Abraham, his father Terah, and his nephew Lot settled in Haran (Genesis 11:31). It was in Haran that Terah died (Genesis 11:32), and from there, Abraham departed for Canaan in response to God's call (Genesis 12:4-5). Later, when Israel (or 'Jacob') fled from his brother Esau, he sought refuge in Haran with his uncle Laban (Genesis 27:43; 28:10). Jacob lived in Haran for many years, marrying Laban's daughters, Leah and Rachel, and working for Laban (Genesis 29:4). Haran was known for its association with the worship of the moon god, Sin. In the Old Testament, Haran is mentioned as one of the places conquered by the Assyrian kings (2Ki.19.12; Isaiah 37:12) and as a trading partner of Tyre (Ezk.27.23).

In Amo.4.3, the prophet declares judgment upon the wealthy women of Samaria, saying, "You will go out through broken walls, each one straight ahead of her, and you will be cast out toward Harmon." The exact location and meaning of Harmon are uncertain, as the name is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible or in other ancient Near Eastern sources. Some scholars suggest that Harmon may refer to a place of exile or captivity, possibly in Assyria or Armenia, where the Israelites would be taken as a result of God's judgment. Others propose that it could be a symbolic name representing the fate of the exiled Israelites. The context of the passage suggests that Harmon is a place of punishment and humiliation for the proud and oppressive women of Samaria, who would be driven out of their city and cast into a foreign land. Amos's prophecy serves as a warning against the social injustice and religious unfaithfulness that characterized Israel during his time. $========== PLACE Harod@Jdg.7.1-1Ch=H5878 Harod https://www.google.com/maps/@32.549638,35.355647,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.549638,35.355647 > #A location first mentioned at Jdg.7.1;

In Judges 7:1, it is recorded that Gideon and his army camped beside the spring of Harod, while the Midianites were north of them in the valley near the hill of Moreh. It was at this location that God instructed Gideon to reduce his army from 32,000 men to a mere 300, based on how they drank water from the spring (Judges 7:4-7). This event demonstrated God's power to deliver Israel from their enemies, even with a small force. The exact location of the Spring of Harod is not certain, but it is believed to be in the Jezreel Valley, near the ancient city of Jezreel. The spring is also mentioned in connection with two of David's mighty men, Shammah the Harodite (2Sa.23.25) and Elika the Harodite (1Ch.11.27), indicating that it may have been a place of origin or residence for some of David's warriors. The Spring of Harod played a crucial role in Gideon's victory over the Midianites and serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and power to deliver His people. $========== PLACE Harosheth-hagoyim@Jdg.4.2-=H2800 Harosheth-hagoyim https://www.google.com/maps/@32.691177,35.110039,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.691177,35.110039 > #A location first mentioned at Jdg.4.2;

It is listed in Numbers 33:29-30, which records the stages of Israel's journey in the wilderness. ¶According to the text, the Israelites set out from Mithkah and camped at Hashmonah. The next stop mentioned after Hashmonah is Moseroth. ¶Some Bible scholars attempt to identify Hashmonah with Azmon, a place mentioned in Numbers 34:4 as part of the southern border of the Promised Land. However, this identification is uncertain and not universally accepted. ¶The mention of Hashmonah in the itinerary of Israel's wilderness journey serves to emphasize God's guidance and provision for His people during their 40-year sojourn in the desert. It also highlights the importance of remembering and recording the various stages of their journey as a testimony to future generations of God's faithfulness and leadership. ¶As with many of the places mentioned in the wilderness itinerary, Hashmonah's significance lies primarily in its role as a marker in Israel's divinely-led journey from slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land. Its inclusion in the biblical record underscores the historical and theological importance of this formative period in Israel's history. $========== PLACE Hauran@Ezk.47.16-=H2362 Hauran https://www.google.com/maps/@32.80007552505443,35.93730130476259,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.80007552505443,35.93730130476259 > #A location first mentioned at Ezk.47.16;

At Hazeroth, Moses faced challenges to his leadership from his siblings, Aaron and Miriam (Num 12). God affirmed Moses' unique role as His chosen leader and judged Miriam with temporary leprosy.

It is first mentioned in Genesis 13:18, where Abraham pitched his tent and built an altar to the Lord. It was possibly renamed Hebron by Mareshah the "father [abi] of Hebron", which narmally refers to a founder, though he also had a son named Hebron (1Ch.2.42-43). The city was originally named Kiriath-arba, which means "the city of Arba," who was the greatest man among the Anakim (Joshua 14:15). ¶Hebron played a significant role in the lives of the patriarchs. Sarah, Abraham's wife, died in Kiriath-arba, and Abraham purchased the cave of Machpelah as a burial site for her (Genesis 23:2, 19). Later, Abraham, Isaac, and Israel (or 'Jacob') were also buried there (Genesis 35:27; 49:29-32). ¶During the conquest of Canaan, Hebron was taken by Joshua and the Israelites (Joshua 10:36-37). The city was given to Caleb as his inheritance (Joshua 14:13-14), and later became a city of the Levites and a city of refuge (Joshua 20:7; 21:11-13). ¶Hebron served as the capital of Judah during the reign of David. He was anointed king over the house of Judah in Hebron and reigned there for seven and a half years (2Sa.2.1-4, 11; 5:5). Several of David's sons were born in Hebron, including Amnon, Absalom, and Adonijah (2Sa.3.2-5). ¶The city remained significant throughout Israel's history. It was fortified by Rehoboam (2Ch.11.10) and was inhabited by Jews after the Babylonian exile (Nehemiah 11:25). ¶Hebron is also notable for its association with the Anakim, a group of giants who inhabited the area (Numbers 13:22, 33). Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak from Hebron: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai (Joshua 15:13-14; Judges 1:10, 20). ¶Today, Hebron is still an important city, known for the Tomb of the Patriarchs, which is believed to be the burial site of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The city has a rich history and holds great significance for Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike. $========== PLACE Hebron_Valley@Gen.37.14=H2275H Valley of Hebron https://www.google.com/maps/@31.54909871686872,35.09356062020027,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.54909871686872,35.09356062020027 > #A location only mentioned at Gen.37.14;

However, the tribe of Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of several cities, including Helbah, allowing the Canaanites to continue dwelling in the land. The exact location of Helbah is unknown, but it was likely situated within the allotted territory of Asher, in the western Galilee region of northern Israel. $========== PLACE Helbon@Ezk.27.18=H2463 Helbon https://www.google.com/maps/@33.664912,36.248576,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.664912,36.248576 > #A location only mentioned at Ezk.27.18;

It was particularly noted for its fine wine, which was highly prized and traded in the region. The exact location of Helbon is not certain, but it is believed to be modern-day Halbun, a village located about 11 miles north of Damascus, Syria. This identification is supported by the fact that the area around Halbun is still known for producing high-quality grapes and wine. Some scholars have suggested that Helbon might be the same as Aleppo (Haleb), but this is less likely given the distance between Aleppo and Damascus. $========== PLACE Helech@Ezk.27.11=H2428B Helech= near Arvad (Arvad@Ezk.27.8-=H0719) https://www.google.com/maps/@34.856082,35.858485,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@34.856082,35.858485 > #A location near Arvad only mentioned at Ezk.27.11;

The exact meaning and identity of Helech is uncertain, and Bible scholars have proposed different interpretations. ¶One view is that Helech refers to a place, possibly the Assyrian name for the region of Cilicia, located north of the Taurus Mountains. The Cilicians were known for their warlike character and could have served as mercenaries in the army of Tyre, which would fit the context of Ezekiel's prophecy. ¶Another interpretation is that Helech is not a place name but rather a Hebrew term derived from the root word חיל (ḥayil), meaning "strength" or "army." In this case, the final letter of Helech would be understood as a feminine form of the pronoun "you," referring to the city of Tyre. This interpretation is supported by the King James Version and the American Standard Version, which translate Helech as "thine army." ¶The Septuagint, an ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament, seems to favor the interpretation of Helech as a term for Tyre's army rather than a place name. ¶Given the limited information provided in the single biblical reference, the exact identity of Helech remains uncertain. The mention of Helech in Ezekiel's prophecy serves to emphasize the strength and military might of Tyre, which would ultimately be brought to ruin by God's judgment, as declared by the prophet Ezekiel. $========== PLACE Heleph@Jos.19.33=H2501 Heleph https://www.google.com/maps/@33.134416,35.332157,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.134416,35.332157 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.19.33;

This led to a fierce battle in which David's men, under the leadership of Joab, defeated Abner and the men of Israel.

It first appears in Joshua 12:17 as one of the cities conquered by Joshua and the Israelites during their campaign to take possession of the Promised Land. The city was ruled by a king, who was defeated along with other Canaanite rulers. ¶The exact location of Hepher is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated in the northern part of Canaan, as it is listed among other cities in that region, such as Tappuah and Aphek. ¶Hepher is mentioned again in 1Ki.4.10, where it is described as part of a district under Solomon's rule. The passage lists the twelve officers who were appointed to provide food for King Solomon and his household, each responsible for a specific region. The district that included Hepher was overseen by the son of Hesed. ¶The fact that Hepher was a city with its own king during the time of Joshua and later became part of a district under Solomon's rule suggests that it was a place of some significance. However, the Bible does not provide any further details about the city's history, size, or importance. ¶The mention of Hepher in the biblical text serves to highlight the extent of the Israelites' conquest of Canaan under Joshua's leadership and the later organization of the kingdom under Solomon's reign.

It was the capital of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had taken it from the Moabites (Num.21.26-30). During the Israelites' journey to Canaan, Moses conquered Heshbon and its surrounding territories (Num.21.25, 34; Deut 1:4; 2:24-30; 3:2, 6; 4:46; 29:7). The city was initially allotted to the tribe of Reuben (Num.32.3, 37; Josh 13:10, 17) but was later given to the tribe of Gad (Josh 13:26) and then to the Levites (Josh 21:39; 1Ch.6.81).

It is mentioned only once in the Bible, in Joshua 15:27, as part of the list of towns and villages in the southland of Judah. ¶In the context of Joshua 15, the chapter describes the boundaries and cities of Judah's inheritance in the Promised Land. The list of towns is divided into several geographical regions, including the Negev, the lowland, and the hill country. ¶Heshmon is listed among other towns in the Negev, such as Moladah, Hazar-gaddah, Hazar-shual, and Beersheba. The exact location of Heshmon is uncertain, as it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible or in other historical sources. ¶The name "Heshmon" is derived from the Hebrew root meaning "fatness" or "fertility," which may suggest that the town was situated in a relatively fertile area within the Negev region, known for its arid climate. ¶The mention of Heshmon in the biblical text serves to provide a detailed account of the cities and villages allotted to the tribe of Judah and to underscore the fulfillment of God's promise to give each tribe a portion of the Promised Land as an inheritance. Its inclusion in the list also highlights the importance of geographical accuracy and attention to detail in the recording of Israel's history and the allotment of the land. $========== PLACE Hethlon@Ezk.47.15-=H2855 Hethlon https://www.google.com/maps/@34.737990,36.340918,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@34.737990,36.340918 > #A location first mentioned at Ezk.47.15;

In Ezekiel's vision, the northern border extends from the Mediterranean Sea to Hethlon and then continues eastward toward Hamath and Zedad. The exact location of Hethlon is uncertain, but it was likely a significant landmark or settlement in the region of Lebo-hamath, which is associated with the entrance to Hamath, a city in modern-day Syria.

It is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, with archaeological evidence dating back to 9000 BC. In the Bible, Jericho is most famous as the first city conquered by the Israelites after they crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land (Joshua 2-6). The city's walls miraculously fell after the Israelites marched around it for seven days, allowing them to destroy the city. Jericho was allotted to the tribe of Benjamin (Joshua 18:21) and was later rebuilt during the time of Ahab (1Ki.16.34). The city also played a role in several other biblical events, such as being the location where the Israelites camped before entering Canaan (Numbers 22:1; 26:3, 63), where Eglon, king of Moab, oppressed Israel (Judges 3:12-14), and where Zedekiah was captured by the Babylonians (Jeremiah 39:5; 52:8). In the New Testament, Jericho is mentioned as the place where Jesus healed blind Bartimaeus (Mrk.10.46) and where he encountered Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10). $========== PLACE Jericho_Valley@Deu.34.3=H1237G Jericho https://www.google.com/maps/@31.87060143818292,35.44386371224434,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.87060143818292,35.44386371224434 > #A location only mentioned at Deu.34.3;

It is known for its fertile soil and warm climate, which allows for the cultivation of various crops, including dates and other fruits.

It is mentioned hundreds of times throughout the Old and New Testaments. The city was originally known as Salem (Genesis 14:18; Psalm 76:2) and was later called Jebus, after the Jebusites who inhabited it (Judges 19:10; 1Ch.11.4). David conquered the city and made it his capital (2Sa.5.6-9; 1Ch.11.4-9). Solomon built the first temple in Jerusalem (1 Kings 6-8; 2 Chronicles 3-7), which became the center of Jewish worship. The city was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BC (2Ki.25.1-10; 2Ch.36.17-19) but was later rebuilt after the exile (Ezra 1:1-4; Nehemiah 2:11-20). In the New Testament, Jerusalem is the site of many events in the life of Jesus, including his triumphal entry (Matthew 21:1-11), cleansing of the temple (Matthew 21:12-17), and crucifixion (Matthew 27:32-56). The early church also began in Jerusalem (Acts 1-7). Throughout the Bible, Jerusalem is referred to by various names, each highlighting a different aspect of its significance: Ariel (Isaiah 29:1), My Delight Is in Her (Isaiah 62:4), Forsaken and Desolate (Isaiah 62:4), Married (Isaiah 62:4), the City of the Lord (Isaiah 60:14), Zion (Psalm 87:2), and Mount Zion (Psalm 48:1). The name "Jerusalem" itself may mean "foundation of peace" or "possession of peace." $========== PLACE Jeshanah@2Ch.13.19=H3466G Jeshanah https://www.google.com/maps/@31.980029,35.229709,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.980029,35.229709 > #A location only mentioned at 2Ch.13.19;

The prophet Jonah set sail from Joppa when he tried to flee from God's command to preach in Nineveh (Jonah 1:3). In the New Testament, Joppa is significant as the place where Peter stayed with Simon the tanner and had a vision that led him to preach to the Gentiles (Act.9.36-43; 10:5-23).

The river and its surrounding region, also known as the Jordan Valley or the Plain of Jordan, are mentioned numerous times throughout the Old and New Testaments. The Jordan River formed the eastern boundary of the Promised Land (Numbers 34:12) and was crossed by the Israelites under Joshua's leadership when they entered Canaan (Joshua 3-4). The river also served as a boundary between the tribes settling east and west of the Jordan (Joshua 22:25). Several significant events took place along the Jordan, including the parting of the river for Elijah and Elisha (2Ki.2.6-14), Naaman's healing (2Ki.5.10-14), and John the Baptist's ministry of baptism (Matthew 3:5-6; Mrk.1.5). The Jordan Valley was known for its fertile land, as seen in Lot's choice to settle there (Genesis 13:10-11). The region also served as a refuge for Elijah (1Ki.17.3-5) and David (2Sa.17.22-24). In the New Testament, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River (Matthew 3:13; Mrk.1.9) and conducted ministry in the region (Matthew 4:25; 19:1). The Jordan River and its surrounding area continue to hold great significance for Christians, Jews, and Muslims today. $========== PLACE Jotbah@2Ki.21.19=H3192 Jotbah= near Ezion-geber (Ezion-geber@Num.33.35-2Ch=H6100) https://www.google.com/maps/@29.75804307645581,35.0306017443078,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@29.75804307645581,35.0306017443078 > #A location near Ezion-geber only mentioned at 2Ki.21.19;

The area was named after the tribe of Judah, which settled there after the Israelites conquered Canaan. Judea was known for its hilly terrain and its capital, Jerusalem, which served as the religious and political center of the Jewish people. The region played a significant role throughout biblical history, from the time of the judges to the New Testament era. Many important events took place in Judea, including the reigns of King David and King Solomon, the construction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem, and the ministries of Jesus and the early church. Judea was the birthplace of John the Baptist (Luke 1:5, 65) and Jesus (Matthew 2:1, 5). During the New Testament period, Judea was a Roman province, and it was the scene of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection (Luke 23:5; Jhn.19.19-20). The early Christian church began in Jerusalem and spread throughout Judea (Act.1.8; 2:9).

It served as a significant campsite for the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings after the Exodus from Egypt. Kadesh was the place from which Moses sent the twelve spies to explore the land of Canaan (Numbers 13:26; 32:8). It was also the site where Miriam died and was buried (Numbers 20:1) and where Moses and Aaron disobeyed God by striking the rock to bring forth water (Numbers 20:10-13). The Israelites spent a considerable amount of time at Kadesh (Deu.1.46) before moving on to other locations in the wilderness. Kadesh was known for its spring (En-mishpat, meaning "spring of judgment," Genesis 14:7) and was a strategic location along trade routes. It also marked the southern boundary of the Promised Land (Numbers 34:4; Joshua 15:3). The Bible mentions several events that took place at Kadesh, including the rebellion of Korah (Numbers 16) and the Israelites' refusal to enter the Promised Land, resulting in their forty-year wandering in the wilderness (Numbers 14; Deu.1.19-46). $========== PLACE Kain@Num.24.22-Jos=H7014A Kain https://www.google.com/maps/@31.500000,35.166667,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.500000,35.166667 > #A location first mentioned at Num.24.22;

After the conquest, Kedesh was allotted to the tribe of Naphtali (Joshua 19:37) and designated as a Levitical city (Joshua 21:32) and a city of refuge (Joshua 20:7). Cities of refuge were established to provide sanctuary for those who accidentally killed someone, protecting them from revenge until a proper trial could be held. Kedesh was also the hometown of Barak, who, along with Deborah, led the Israelites to victory against Sisera and the Canaanites (Judges 4:6, 9-11). The city was later captured by Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, during his invasion of Israel (2Ki.15.29).

However, when Saul heard that David was in Keilah, he planned to besiege the city and capture him. David again sought the Lord's guidance and learned that the people of Keilah would surrender him to Saul. As a result, David and his men left Keilah and continued to evade Saul (1Sa.23.7-13).

Isaiah prophesied that Kir would be destroyed in a night (Isaiah 15:1), and Jeremiah foretold that Kir would face judgment and destruction by the Babylonians (Jeremiah 48:1, 23). The city was known for its fortifications, as the name "Kir" means "wall" or "fortress." According to 2Ki.3.25, during the campaign of the kings of Israel, Judah, and Edom against Moab, they destroyed the cities and stopped up the springs of water, including those of Kir-hareseth, which may be another name for Kir.

It was one of the Amorite cities that formed an alliance against Joshua and the Israelites, but it was captured and its king was defeated (Joshua 10; 12:11). Later, Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, fortified Lachish as part of his defense strategy (2Ch.11.9). During the reign of King Amaziah, Lachish served as a refuge for the king when he fled from a conspiracy in Jerusalem (2Ki.14.19; 2Ch.25.27). In the time of King Hezekiah, the Assyrian king Sennacherib captured Lachish and used it as a base to send his officials to threaten Jerusalem (2Ki.18.14, 17; 19:8; 2Ch.32.9; Isaiah 36:2; 37:8). The city was one of the last fortified cities in Judah to fall to the Babylonians during the reign of Zedekiah (Jeremiah 34:7). After the Babylonian exile, Lachish was resettled by the people of Judah (Nehemiah 11:30). The prophet Micah also mentioned Lachish, urging the city to give parting gifts to Moresheth-gath (Micah 1:13). $========== PLACE Lahmam@Jos.15.40=H3903 Lahmam https://www.google.com/maps/@31.566667,34.900000,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.566667,34.900000 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.15.40;

The Moabite Stone, an important archaeological find, mentions Medeba as a city that the Moabite King Mesha had captured from Israel. The prophet Isaiah, in his oracle against Moab, mentions Medeba as one of the cities that would mourn over the coming destruction (Isaiah 15:2). $========== PLACE Media@2Ki.17.6-Act=H4074H Media https://www.google.com/maps/@34.798311,48.514966,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@34.798311,48.514966 > #A location first mentioned at Ezr.6.2;

The Medes, along with the Babylonians, conquered the Assyrian Empire in 612 BC (Isaiah 13:17; Jeremiah 51:11, 28). Later, the Medes joined forces with the Persians to form the powerful Medo-Persian Empire. This empire, under the rule of Cyrus the Great, conquered Babylon in 539 BC (Dan.5.28, 31). The Medes are mentioned in the book of Esther as one of the peoples under the rule of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) (Esther 1:3, 14, 18; 10:2). The Medes were also involved in the deportation of the Israelites from the northern kingdom (2Ki.17.6; 18:11). The prophet Daniel served in the Medo-Persian court (Dan.6.8, 12, 15; 9:1; 11:1) and interpreted the handwriting on the wall, which announced the fall of Babylon to the Medes and Persians (Dan.5.28).

It was one of the cities conquered by Joshua during the Israelite conquest of Canaan (Joshua 12:21). Megiddo was allotted to the tribe of Manasseh but was not fully taken from the Canaanites (Joshua 17:11; Judges 1:27). The city is mentioned in the song of Deborah as the site of a great battle against the Canaanites (Judges 5:19). King Solomon fortified Megiddo as one of his key cities (1Ki.9.15). The city continued to play a significant role in later history, with King Josiah of Judah being killed by Pharaoh Necho of Egypt at Megiddo (2Ki.23.29-30; 2Ch.35.22).

It served as the capital of Egypt during the Old Kingdom period and remained a significant cultural and religious center throughout much of Egyptian history. In the Bible, Memphis is mentioned primarily in the context of prophecies against Egypt. The prophet Isaiah speaks of the princes of Memphis as being deceived and leading Egypt astray (Isaiah 19:13). Jeremiah mentions Memphis as one of the cities where the Jews fled to escape the Babylonian invasion, but he warns that they will not find safety there (Jeremiah 2:16; 44:1; 46:14, 19).

It was designated as a Levitical city, given to the Merarite clan (Joshua 21:37; 1Ch.6.79). The Levites were assigned cities throughout Israel to live in and serve the people. In later history, Mephaath appears to have come under Moabite control, as it is mentioned in Jeremiah's prophecy against Moab (Jeremiah 48:21).

The name Meribah means "quarrel" or "contention." The people complained about the lack of water, and Moses, following God's instructions, struck the rock, and water came out for the people to drink (Exodus 17:5-6). The incident at Meribah is remembered as an example of Israel's rebellion and lack of faith (Deu.33.8; Psalm 95:8).

The people complained about the lack of water, and God instructed Moses to speak to the rock to bring forth water. However, Moses struck the rock twice with his staff, and water came out abundantly (Numbers 20:7-11). Because Moses and Aaron did not trust and honor God in the sight of the Israelites, they were not allowed to enter the Promised Land (Numbers 20:12; 27:14; Deu.32.51). The incident at Meribah-kadesh is remembered as a time when the Israelites rebelled against God and Moses (Psalm 81:7; 106:32).

Joshua and the Israelite army attacked them by surprise, defeating them and pursuing them until no survivors were left (Joshua 11:7-8). The exact location of the waters of Merom is uncertain, but it is generally believed to be in the vicinity of Lake Huleh in northern Israel.

First, Jehdeiah the Meronothite is mentioned in 1Ch.27.30 as the man in charge of King David's donkeys. This suggests that he may have been from a place called Meronoth, although the exact location is unknown. Second, Jadon the Meronothite is mentioned in Nehemiah 3:7 as one of the people who helped repair the wall of Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah.

The exact location of Meroz is unknown, but it was likely situated near the Kishon River, close to where the Israelites, led by Deborah and Barak, fought against the Canaanite army commanded by Sisera. In the song, the angel of the Lord pronounces a curse upon Meroz and its inhabitants for not coming to help in the battle against Sisera. The severity of the curse suggests that Meroz may have been in a position to provide significant assistance but chose not to do so.

The Midianites lived in the desert regions of the Arabian Peninsula, particularly in the area east of the Gulf of Aqaba. Moses fled to Midian after killing an Egyptian and married Zipporah, the daughter of Jethro, a Midianite priest (Exodus 2:15-22). Jethro later visited Moses and offered him wise counsel (Exodus 18:1-27). ¶During the time of the judges, the Midianites, along with the Amalekites and other eastern peoples, oppressed Israel for seven years (Judges 6:1-6). God raised up Gideon to deliver Israel from the Midianites (Judges 6:11-24). Gideon, with a small army of 300 men, defeated the Midianites and their allies, who were "as numerous as locusts" (Judges 7-8). ¶The Midianites were involved in the incident at Peor, where Israelite men were enticed into sexual immorality and idolatry (Numbers 25:1-18). As a result, God commanded Moses to take vengeance on the Midianites (Numbers 25:17-18; 31:1-54). ¶In later biblical history, the Midianites are mentioned as traders who bought Joseph from his brothers and sold him into slavery in Egypt (Genesis 37:28, 36). The prophet Isaiah refers to the defeat of Midian as a symbol of God's power to deliver his people (Isaiah 9:4; 10:26).

It is believed to be a reference to a fortified border city in ancient Egypt. ¶In the prophetic books, Migdol is mentioned as one of the cities in Egypt where Jewish refugees settled after the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem (Jeremiah 44:1). The prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel also include Migdol in their prophecies against Egypt, indicating that it was a significant city (Jeremiah 46:14; Ezk.29.10; 30:6). ¶The exact location of the biblical Migdol is uncertain, but it is thought to be in the eastern Nile Delta region, possibly near the present-day Suez Canal.

It was a significant port city and a center of trade and culture in the Greco-Roman world. ¶In the New Testament, Miletus is mentioned in connection with the Apostle Paul's missionary journeys. During his third journey, Paul stopped at Miletus on his way to Jerusalem and sent for the elders of the church in Ephesus to meet him there (Act.20.15, 17). He delivered a farewell address to the Ephesian elders, warning them about false teachers and encouraging them to remain faithful to God (Act.20.18-35). ¶In 2Ti.4.20, Paul mentions that he left Trophimus, one of his companions, ill at Miletus. This statement provides insight into the challenges and hardships faced by early Christian missionaries as they traveled and spread the gospel message. ¶Miletus was known for its wool industry and its intellectual and artistic achievements. It was the birthplace of several notable Greek philosophers, including Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes, who were among the first to seek rational explanations for natural phenomena. $========== PLACE Millo@2Sa.5.9-Isa=H4407 Millo= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem first mentioned at 2Sa.5.9;

The name "Millo" is derived from the Hebrew word "millu'," meaning "filling" or "terrace," while "Akra" comes from the Greek word for "citadel" or "stronghold." ¶King Solomon further strengthened and expanded Millo as part of his building projects in Jerusalem (1Ki.9.15, 24). The construction of Millo was a significant undertaking, requiring a large workforce and resources (1Ki.11.27). ¶During the reign of King Hezekiah, Millo was repaired and fortified as part of the preparations for the Assyrian invasion (2Ch.32.5). The "House of Millo" is mentioned in connection with the coronation of King Joash (2Ki.12.20), suggesting that it may have served as a royal residence or an important administrative center. ¶The exact location and nature of Millo are not clearly described in the Bible. Some scholars believe that it may have been a terraced structure or a landfill that supported the fortifications and buildings in the City of David, the oldest part of Jerusalem. Others suggest that it could have been a separate fortress or citadel within the city. Archaeological excavations in Jerusalem have uncovered remains of ancient fortifications and structures that may be associated with Millo, but the precise identification remains uncertain. $========== PLACE Minni@Jer.51.27=H4508 Minni= near Ashkenaz (Ashkenaz@Jer.51.27=H0813H) https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6,44.6,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@40.6,44.6 > #A location near Ashkenaz only mentioned at Jer.51.27;

Later, the prophet Samuel summoned the people to Mizpah for prayer, repentance, and deliverance from the Philistines (1Sa.7.5-7, 11-12, 16). Samuel also gathered the Israelites at Mizpah to appoint Saul as their first king (1Sa.10.17). ¶Mizpah was the hometown and burial place of Samuel (1Sa.1.19; 2:11; 7:17; 8:4; 15:34; 16:13; 19:18-23; 20:1; 25:1; 28:3).

The Moabites were a Semitic People from Moab, the son of Lot by his elder daughter (Gen. 19:37). ¶The Moabites first appear in the biblical record at the time of the Exodus. Balak, the king of Moab, feared the Israelites and hired Balaam to curse them (Num. 22-24). The Moabites worshipped the god Chemosh and induced some Israelites to join in their idolatrous sacrifices (Num. 25:1-2). ¶Throughout the time of the judges and early monarchy, the Moabites were in frequent conflict with Israel. King Saul fought against them (1 Sam. 14:47), and David subjugated them and made them tributaries (2 Sam. 8:2,12). After the division of the kingdom, the Moabites regained their independence. ¶During the reign of King Omri of Israel (c. 884-872 BC), who is mentioned in 1Ki.16.23-28, Moabite lands were reconquered. However, about 40 years later, the Moabite king Mesha rebelled against Israel, as recorded on the famous Moabite Stone discovered in 1868 in Dibon (modern Dhiban, Jordan). ¶The prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Amos all prophesied against Moab (Isa. 15-16, Jer. 48, Ezek. 25:8-11, Amo.2.1-2). After the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC, some Jews took refuge in Moab (Jer. 40:11). Moab disappears as a nation from the historical record sometime during the Persian period. $========== PLACE Moab_Plains@Num.22.1-Jos=H4124I https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 Moab #A location in Moab first mentioned at Num.22.1;

Moses also delivered his final discourses to the Israelites in this location before his death on Mount Nebo, which overlooked the plains of Moab.

The Gospels record that Jesus grew up in Nazareth, preached in its synagogue (Luke 4:16-30), and was initially rejected by its inhabitants (Matt. 13:54-58; Mrk.6.1-6; Luke 4:28-30). ¶In the first century, Nazareth had a negative reputation, as evidenced by Nathanael's question, "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" (Jhn.1.46). However, Jesus' upbringing in Nazareth fulfilled the prophecy that He would be called a Nazarene (Matt. 2:23), a term possibly derived from the Hebrew word "netzer," meaning "branch" or "shoot," and alluding to the Messiah (Isa. 11:1). $========== PLACE Neah@Jos.19.13-=H5272 Neiel https://www.google.com/maps/@32.894254,35.221877,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.894254,35.221877 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.19.13;

Paul's mention of Nicopolis suggests that he may have planned to use the city as a base for missionary work in the surrounding area. $========== PLACE Nile@Gen.41.1-Zec=H2975G Nile https://www.google.com/maps/@30.092632,31.230987,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.092632,31.230987 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.41.1;

It is mentioned numerous times in the Bible, particularly in the Old Testament. In the story of Joseph, the Nile and its canals are the setting for Pharaoh's dreams about the seven years of plenty and seven years of famine (Gen. 41:1-3, 17-18). During the Israelites' bondage in Egypt, the Nile was the site of the miraculous plagues, such as the turning of the water into blood (Exod. 7:17-21) and the emergence of frogs from the river (Exod. 8:3-11). The Nile also played a role in the early life of Moses, who was placed in a basket among the reeds of the river as an infant (Exod. 2:3-5). ¶The prophets often used the Nile as a symbol of Egypt's power and pride, which would be brought low by God's judgment (Isa. 19:6-8; Jer. 46:7-8; Ezek. 29:3-9; 30:12; Amo.8.8; 9:5; Nah. 3:8; Zech. 10:11).

It is first mentioned in the Bible as one of the cities founded by Nimrod, along with Rehoboth-Ir (Gen. 10:11-12). Nineveh became the capital of Assyria during the reign of Sennacherib (c. 705-681 BC) and was known for its size, power, and splendor (Jonah 3:3; 4:11). ¶In the book of Jonah, Nineveh is portrayed as a city of great wickedness, whose evil had come to God's attention (Jonah 1:2). Jonah was sent to preach against Nineveh, warning of its impending destruction. To Jonah's surprise, the people of Nineveh, from the king to the lowliest citizen, repented in response to his message (Jonah 3:5-9). As a result, God relented and spared the city (Jonah 3:10). ¶Despite this remarkable event, Nineveh remained a symbol of Assyrian power and a threat to Israel and Judah. The prophets Nahum and Zephaniah both foretold the eventual destruction of Nineveh as a judgment against Assyria's wickedness and oppression (Nah. 1:1; 2:8; 3:7; Zeph. 2:13). Nineveh fell to the Babylonians and Medes in 612 BC, marking the end of the Assyrian Empire. ¶In the New Testament, Jesus refers to the repentance of the Ninevites as a rebuke to his unbelieving generation (Matt. 12:41; Luke 11:30, 32). $========== PLACE Nob@1Sa.21.1-Isa=H5011 Nob https://www.google.com/maps/@31.799605,35.232980,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.799605,35.232980 > #A location first mentioned at 1Sa.21.1;

Ahimelech, the priest at Nob, had provided David with the sacred bread of the Presence and the sword of Goliath (1 Sam. 21:1-9).

Patara was known for its temple and oracle of Apollo, as well as its harbor and maritime trade. The city was also famous for its lighthouse, which was one of the most renowned in the ancient world. Although the biblical reference to Patara is brief, it provides insight into the trade routes and transportation methods used by early Christians in the Mediterranean region. $========== PLACE Pathros@Isa.11.11-Ezk=H6624 Pathros https://www.google.com/maps/@28.322364,30.692312,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@28.322364,30.692312 > #A location first mentioned at Isa.11.11;

It is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, particularly in the context of Judean refugees who fled to Egypt after the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem in 586 BC (Jer. 44:1, 15). The name "Pathros" is derived from the Egyptian word "p-t-rsy," meaning "the southern land." In Isaiah 11:11, Pathros is listed among the places from which God will recover the remnant of His people. Ezekiel prophesied that God would bring judgment upon Egypt and make the land of Pathros a desolation (Ezek. 29:14; 30:14). The biblical references to Pathros indicate that it was a distinct region within Egypt and that it had a significant Judean population during the exilic and post-exilic periods. $========== PLACE Patmos@Rev.1.9=G3963 Patmos https://www.google.com/maps/@37.307520,26.548274,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@37.307520,26.548274 > #A location only mentioned at Rev.1.9;

It is mentioned in the New Testament in Revelation 1:9, where the apostle John states that he was on the island of Patmos "because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus." According to early Christian tradition, John was exiled to Patmos during the reign of the Roman emperor Domitian (AD 81-96) because of his faith and preaching. While on Patmos, John received a series of visions from God, which he recorded in the Book of Revelation. These visions include messages to the seven churches of Asia Minor, prophetic imagery, and a glimpse of the heavenly throne room. The island of Patmos has since become a place of pilgrimage for Christians, with several monasteries and churches commemorating John's exile and the writing of Revelation. $========== PLACE Pau@Gen.36.39-1Ch=H6464 Pau= in Bozrah_1 (Bozrah@Gen.36.33-Amo=H1224G) https://www.google.com/maps/@30.734691,35.606250,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.734691,35.606250 Edom #A location in Edom Bozrah first mentioned at Gen.36.39;

In these passages, Hadar (or Hadad) is listed as the king of Edom who died, and Pau is named as the city from which his successor, Mehetabel, came. The name "Pau" or "Pai" is of uncertain meaning and etymology. Apart from these genealogical references, no further information about the city or its history is provided in the Bible.

It is mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel as part of a prophecy against Egypt (Ezek. 30:15-16). Ezekiel foretells that God will pour out His wrath upon Sin (Pelusium) and cut off the multitude of No (Thebes), indicating that Pelusium would face divine judgment along with other major Egyptian cities. Historically, Pelusium served as a strategic frontier fortress and was known for its role in defending Egypt against foreign invasions. The city was also an important commercial center, situated at the crossroads of trade routes between Egypt, the Levant, and the Mediterranean world. Although the biblical references to Pelusium are limited, its inclusion in Ezekiel's prophecy highlights its significance in ancient Egypt. $========== PLACE Peniel@Gen.32.30-1Ki=H6439G Peniel https://www.google.com/maps/@32.1843727808126,35.70287002746794,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.1843727808126,35.70287002746794 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.32.30;

It is first mentioned in Genesis 32:30-31, where Jacob wrestled with a mysterious man (believed to be God or an angel) throughout the night. After the encounter, Jacob named the place Peniel, meaning "face of God," saying, "I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered." The wrestling match marked a turning point in Jacob's life, as he received a new name, Israel, signifying his struggle with God and men (Gen. 32:28). ¶Later in the Bible, Penuel is mentioned as a city in the territory of Gad, east of the Jordan River. During the time of the judges, Gideon and his men pursued the Midianite kings Zebah and Zalmunna to Penuel (Judg. 8:8-9). The men of Penuel refused to provide bread to Gideon's army, so Gideon vowed to tear down the tower of Penuel upon his return (Judg. 8:17). In the reign of King Jeroboam I of Israel, Penuel was one of the cities he fortified (1 Kgs. 12:25), possibly to secure his kingdom against the threat of Judah in the south. $========== PLACE People's_Gate@Jer.17.19=H5971H People's Gate= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem only mentioned at Jer.17.19;

The Lord instructed Jeremiah to stand in the People's Gate and proclaim a message to the kings of Judah and all the people who entered through that gate. The message emphasized the importance of keeping the Sabbath day holy and refraining from work on that day. The exact location of the People's Gate is not specified in the biblical text, but it was likely one of the main entrances to the city, where people from various walks of life would pass through. The gate's name suggests that it was a popular and well-frequented access point to Jerusalem.

It is mentioned in the context of Balak, the king of Moab, who sought to curse Israel through the prophet Balaam (Num. 23:28). Balak brought Balaam to the top of Peor, hoping that from there, Balaam would be able to curse the Israelites. However, God intervened and caused Balaam to bless Israel instead (Num. 23:29-24:9). ¶Later, when the Israelites were camped in the plains of Moab, they began to engage in idolatry and sexual immorality with the Moabites (Num. 25:1-3). This incident became known as the "matter of Peor" (Num. 25:18; 31:16) and resulted in a plague that killed 24,000 Israelites (Num. 25:9). The Israelites' sin at Peor was remembered as a cautionary tale, warning against the dangers of idolatry and foreign influences (Josh. 22:17; Ps. 106:28-29). The events at Peor highlight the importance of remaining faithful to God and resisting the temptations of surrounding pagan cultures. $========== PLACE Perazim_Mount@Isa.28.21=H6559 Mount Perazim= near Valley of Rephaim (Rephaim_Valley@Jos.15.8-Isa=H7497G) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.756332,35.223059,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.756332,35.223059 > #A location near Rephaim Valley only mentioned at Isa.28.21;

The name "Perazim" is derived from the Hebrew word "perez," meaning "to break through" or "to burst forth." The reference to Mount Perazim in Isaiah's prophecy alludes to David's victory over the Philistines at Baal-perazim (2 Sam. 5:20; 1 Chr. 14:11). In that battle, David acknowledged that the Lord had broken through his enemies like a bursting flood, hence the name "Baal-perazim," meaning "Lord of the bursting forth." ¶By using Mount Perazim as an example, Isaiah emphasizes that just as God granted David victory over the Philistines, He will also bring judgment upon those who oppose Him. The prophet warns that God's judgment will be swift and decisive, like His intervention on behalf of David. The mention of Mount Perazim in Isaiah's prophecy serves as a reminder of God's power and His willingness to act on behalf of His people while also bringing judgment upon the wicked. $========== PLACE Perez-uzza@1Ch.13.11=H6560G Perez-uzzah= near Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location near Jerusalem only mentioned at 1Ch.13.11;

During the reign of King David, the Ark was being transported from Kiriath-jearim to Jerusalem on a new cart. When the oxen stumbled near the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the Ark, touching it in the process. As a result, the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and God struck him down for his irreverence (1 Chr. 13:9-10). ¶David was both afraid and angry because of this incident, and he named the place Perez-uzza. The event caused David to fear the Lord and question how he could bring the Ark to Jerusalem (1 Chr. 13:12). The Ark was then taken to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, where it remained for three months, bringing blessings to Obed-edom's household (1 Chr. 13:13-14). ¶The incident at Perez-uzza highlights the sacredness of the Ark of the Covenant and the importance of handling holy objects with reverence and according to divine instructions. It also demonstrates God's holiness and the consequences of irreverence or disobedience. $========== PLACE Perga@Act.13.13-=G4011 Perga https://www.google.com/maps/@37.00520811721595,30.90494591606115,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@37.00520811721595,30.90494591606115 > #A location first mentioned at Act.13.13;

It is mentioned in the New Testament in connection with Paul's first missionary journey (Act.13.13-14; 14:25). Paul and Barnabas, along with John Mark, sailed from Paphos on the island of Cyprus to Perga in Pamphylia. Upon arriving in Perga, John Mark left the group and returned to Jerusalem (Act.13.13). Paul and Barnabas then traveled north to Antioch in Pisidia, where they preached in the synagogue (Act.13.14). On their return journey, Paul and Barnabas passed through Perga again, preaching the gospel to the city before sailing back to Antioch in Syria (Act.14.25). Although the biblical account does not provide extensive details about their ministry in Perga, it is clear that the city was an important stop on Paul's missionary itinerary and played a role in the spread of Christianity in the region. $========== PLACE Pergamum@Rev.1.11-=G4010 Pergamum https://www.google.com/maps/@39.11894592031751,27.16512610475739,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@39.11894592031751,27.16512610475739 > #A location first mentioned at Rev.1.11;

In the letter to the church in Pergamum, the risen Christ commends the believers for holding fast to His name and not denying their faith, even in the face of martyrdom (Rev. 2:13). However, Christ also rebukes them for tolerating some who held to the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans, which involved idolatry and sexual immorality (Rev. 2:14-15). Pergamum is described as the place where "Satan's throne" is located (Rev. 2:13), possibly referring to the city's numerous pagan temples and its status as a center of emperor worship.

In the Bible, Persia is mentioned in the context of the Jewish exile and the subsequent return to Jerusalem. The Babylonian Empire, which had destroyed Jerusalem and taken the Jews into captivity, fell to the Persians under Cyrus the Great (2 Chr. 36:20, 22-23; Ezra 1:1-2). Cyrus issued a decree allowing the exiled Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem (Ezra 1:1-4). The Persian kings Darius I and Artaxerxes I also played significant roles in supporting the rebuilding efforts (Ezra 4:24; 6:14). ¶The book of Esther is set in the Persian capital of Susa during the reign of Ahasuerus (Xerxes I), and it describes how Esther, a Jewish woman, became queen and saved her people from a plot to destroy them (Esther 1:3, 14, 18; 10:2). The prophets Ezekiel and Daniel also mention Persia in their visions and prophecies (Ezek. 27:10; 38:5; Dan. 8:20; 10:1, 13, 20; 11:2). Persia is portrayed as a powerful empire that God used to fulfill His purposes for His people, even though the Persians themselves were not followers of the God of Israel. $========== PLACE Pethor@Num.22.5-Deu=H6604 Pethor https://www.google.com/maps/@36.654616,38.068879,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@36.654616,38.068879 > #A location first mentioned at Num.22.5;

When the Israelites were camped in the plains of Moab, Balak sent messengers to Pethor to summon Balaam, offering him payment to curse Israel (Num. 22:5-7). Despite God's initial warning not to go with the men, Balaam eventually set out on his donkey to meet with Balak (Num. 22:21). Along the way, the Angel of the Lord opposed Balaam, and his donkey spoke to him, revealing the presence of the Angel (Num. 22:22-35). Balaam ultimately blessed Israel instead of cursing them, following God's command (Num. 23-24). The location of Pethor is not precisely known, but its association with the Euphrates River suggests that it was situated in the upper Mesopotamian region, possibly in the area of modern-day Syria or Iraq. $========== PLACE Pharpar@2Ki.5.12=H6554 Pharpar https://www.google.com/maps/@33.379601,36.306085,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.379601,36.306085 > #A location only mentioned at 2Ki.5.12;

When Naaman, the commander of the Syrian army, sought healing from his leprosy, the prophet Elisha instructed him to wash seven times in the Jordan River (2 Kgs. 5:10). Naaman was initially angry at this suggestion, exclaiming, "Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" (2 Kgs. 5:12). However, after being persuaded by his servants, Naaman followed Elisha's instructions and was healed of his leprosy (2 Kgs. 5:13-14). The Pharpar River, which still exists today, flows from the Anti-Lebanon mountains and runs through the city of Damascus before emptying into a lake east of the city. Naaman's initial reluctance to wash in the Jordan highlights the pride and prejudice that can hinder people from experiencing God's healing and blessing. $========== PLACE Philadelphia@Rev.1.11-=G5359 Philadelphia https://www.google.com/maps/@38.34904803135629,28.51946209047604,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@38.34904803135629,28.51946209047604 > #A location first mentioned at Rev.1.11;

The city is first mentioned in the New Testament in connection with Paul's second missionary journey (Act.16.12). In Philippi, Paul and his companions met a group of women praying by the river, including Lydia, a merchant who became the first convert in Europe (Act.16.13-15). However, Paul and Silas were soon imprisoned after casting out a spirit of divination from a slave girl (Act.16.16-24). While in prison, they experienced a miraculous earthquake that led to the conversion of the jailer and his household (Act.16.25-34). ¶Paul visited Philippi again on his third missionary journey (Act.20.6) and later wrote a letter to the church, known as the Epistle to the Philippians. In this letter, Paul expresses his deep affection for the Philippian believers and thanks them for their support and partnership in the gospel (Phil. 1:3-7; 4:15-19). He also encourages them to remain united, humble, and joyful in the face of adversity (Phil. 1:27-2:18; 4:4-7).

They are first mentioned in the Bible during the time of Abraham (Gen. 21:32, 34) and Isaac (Gen. 26:1, 8, 14-15, 18). The Philistines were not part of the original inhabitants of Canaan and are believed to have migrated from the Aegean region, possibly as part of the Sea Peoples' movement in the 12th century BC. ¶Throughout the period of the judges and the early monarchy, the Philistines were a constant threat to the Israelites. They oppressed Israel for 40 years until Samson began to deliver them (Judg. 13:1, 5). Samson's encounters with the Philistines, including his marriage to a Philistine woman and his final act of bringing down the temple of Dagon, are recorded in Judges 14-16. During the time of Samuel, the Philistines defeated Israel and captured the Ark of the Covenant (1 Sam. 4). They were later forced to return the Ark after experiencing plagues (1 Sam. 5-6). ¶The Philistines continued to be a significant enemy during the reigns of Saul and David. The famous battle between David and the Philistine giant Goliath took place during this time (1 Sam. 17). David fought against the Philistines throughout his reign (2 Sam. 5; 8:1, 12; 21; 23), and they remained a threat until the later years of the divided monarchy (2 Kgs. 18:8; 2 Chr. 26:6-7; 28:18). The prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, and Zephaniah all mention the Philistines in their oracles, often pronouncing judgment against them (Isa. 14:29-31; Jer. 47; Ezek. 25:15-17; Amo.1.8; Zeph. 2:5). ¶The Philistines were known for their advanced iron technology, their distinctive pottery, and their religious practices, which included the worship of deities such as Dagon, Ashtoreth, and Baal-Zebub. The biblical narrative portrays them as a formidable enemy of Israel, but also as a people whom God used to test and discipline His chosen nation. $========== PLACE Phoenicia@Act.11.19-=G5403 Phoenicia https://www.google.com/maps/@33.56316734135746,35.36634649354799,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.56316734135746,35.36634649354799 > #A location first mentioned at Act.11.19;

The Phoenicians were known for their maritime skills, extensive trade networks, and their development of the alphabet. In the New Testament, Phoenicia is mentioned in the context of the early spread of Christianity. After the persecution that arose following Stephen's death, some believers traveled as far as Phoenicia, preaching the gospel (Act.11.19). Later, when Paul and Barnabas were returning from the Jerusalem Council, they passed through Phoenicia, bringing joy to the believers there (Act.15.3). During Paul's final journey to Jerusalem, he sailed to Tyre, a city in Phoenicia, where he stayed with disciples for seven days (Act.21.2-4). Although the Phoenicians are not mentioned extensively in the Bible, their region played a role in the spread of the gospel in the early church era. $========== PLACE Phoenix@Act.27.12=G5405 Phoenix https://www.google.com/maps/@35.1988857652248,24.08098202270813,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@35.1988857652248,24.08098202270813 > #A location only mentioned at Act.27.12;

During the voyage, the ship encountered a severe storm, and the crew debated whether to stay at the port of Fair Havens or sail to Phoenix to spend the winter (Act.27.8-12). The majority decided to attempt the journey to Phoenix, as it was considered a more suitable harbor to winter in (Act.27.12). However, before they could reach Phoenix, a violent wind drove the ship off course, ultimately leading to its shipwreck on the island of Malta (Act.27.13-44). The exact location of Phoenix is not certain, but it is believed to have been situated on the southwestern coast of Crete, possibly near the modern-day town of Loutro or the village of Phiniki. $========== PLACE Phrygia@Act.2.10-1Ti=G5435 Phrygia= near Laodicea (Laodicea@Col.2.1-Rev=G2993) https://www.google.com/maps/@37.76986723761415,29.06450110237073,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@37.76986723761415,29.06450110237073 > #A location near Laodicea first mentioned at Act.2.10;

In the New Testament, Phrygia is mentioned in connection with the spread of the gospel and the missionary journeys of Paul. On the day of Pentecost, people from Phrygia were among those present in Jerusalem who heard the apostles speaking in their own languages (Act.2.10). During Paul's second missionary journey, he and his companions traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, where they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach in the province of Asia (Act.16.6). On his third missionary journey, Paul passed through the region of Phrygia and Galatia again, strengthening the disciples (Act.18.23). In the closing of Paul's first letter to Timothy, he mentions that some have wandered from the faith, including Phygelus and Hermogenes, who were likely from Phrygia (2 Tim. 1:15). The mention of Phrygia in these passages highlights the spread of Christianity beyond Judea and the importance of the region in the early church's growth. $========== PLACE Pi-beseth@Ezk.30.17=H6364 Pi-beseth https://www.google.com/maps/@30.583333,31.500000,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.583333,31.500000 > #A location only mentioned at Ezk.30.17;

In this prophecy, Ezekiel declares that the young men of Aven (or On, another name for Heliopolis) and Pi-beseth will fall by the sword, and the cities themselves will go into captivity. This judgment is part of a larger oracle against Egypt, in which God declares that He will bring punishment upon the land for its idolatry and opposition to His people.

After leaving Succoth, the Israelites were instructed by God to turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal-zephon (Exod. 14:2). The Egyptians, led by Pharaoh, pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they were camped by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, opposite Baal-zephon (Exod. 14:9). It was at this location that God instructed Moses to stretch out his hand over the sea, causing the waters to divide and allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground (Exod. 14:15-16, 21-22). The Egyptians pursued them into the sea, but God brought the waters back upon them, drowning Pharaoh's entire army (Exod. 14:23-28). The Israelites' journey from Pi-hahiroth is also mentioned in the list of their encampments in Numbers 33:7-8.

It is mentioned in the Bible as the hometown of several notable Israelites. Abdon, one of the judges of Israel, was from Pirathon (Judg. 12:13, 15). He judged Israel for eight years and was buried in Pirathon (Judg. 12:14-15). Two of David's mighty men, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada and Hiddai (or Hurai) of the brooks of Gaash, were also from Pirathon (2 Sam. 23:30; 1 Chr. 11:31; 27:14). Benaiah, in particular, was a highly esteemed warrior who commanded the Cherethites and Pelethites, and later supported Solomon's claim to the throne (2 Sam. 8:18; 1 Kgs. 1:8, 38, 44).

It is mentioned several times in the Pentateuch, particularly in relation to Moses and the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. During the Israelites' wilderness wanderings, they camped in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Moab, where Moses delivered his final instructions and warnings to the people (Deut. 4:44-46). God instructed Moses to go up to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, and view the land of Canaan, which He was giving to the Israelites (Deut. 3:27; 34:1). From this vantage point, Moses was able to see the Promised Land, from Gilead to Dan, and all the lands of Naphtali, Ephraim, Manasseh, Judah, and the Negev (Deut. 34:1-3). After viewing the land, Moses died there in the land of Moab, and God buried him in a valley opposite Beth-peor (Deut. 34:5-6). The slopes of Pisgah are also mentioned as part of the territory conquered by the Israelites and allocated to the tribes of Reuben and Gad (Num. 21:20; Josh. 12:3; 13:20). The significance of Pisgah lies in its association with Moses' final moments and its panoramic view of the Promised Land, symbolizing the fulfillment of God's promise to His people. $========== PLACE Pishon@Gen.2.11=H6376 Near Eden https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 > #A location only mentioned at Gen.2.11;

The Bible describes a single river flowing out of Eden to water the garden, which then divided into four rivers, with Pishon being the first. Pishon is said to wind through the entire land of Havilah, a region known for its abundance of gold, bdellium (a fragrant resin), and onyx stone (Gen. 2:11-12). The name "Pishon" is thought to derive from the Hebrew root "puwsh," meaning "to scatter, spread, or spring forward," possibly indicating that the river originated from a spring and formed a delta. Despite attempts to identify Pishon with various modern-day rivers, such as the Nile, Indus, or Ganges, its exact location remains unknown, as the geography described in the Eden account is difficult to reconcile with the current landscape. Some scholars suggest that the Pishon and the other rivers of Eden may have symbolic or allegorical significance, representing the life-giving power and abundance that flowed from God's presence in the garden. $========== PLACE Pisidia@Act.13.14-=G4099 Pisidia= near Antioch_2 (Antioch@Act.13.14-2Ti=G0490H) https://www.google.com/maps/@38.31643056393041,31.17948683048973,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@38.31643056393041,31.17948683048973 > #A location near Antioch first mentioned at Act.13.14;

Paul and Barnabas traveled to Antioch in Pisidia, where they preached in the synagogue on the Sabbath (Act.13.14-41). Many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, but the jealous Jewish leaders stirred up persecution against them, forcing them to leave the city (Act.13.42-52). Despite the opposition, the word of the Lord spread throughout the whole region (Act.13.49). On their return journey, Paul and Barnabas passed through Pisidia again, strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain faithful (Act.14.21-23). The mention of Pisidia in the book of Acts highlights the spread of the gospel in Asia Minor and the challenges faced by early Christian missionaries. $========== PLACE Pithom@Exo.1.11=H6619 Pithom https://www.google.com/maps/@30.59385132817632,32.18555803140015,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.59385132817632,32.18555803140015 > #A location only mentioned at Exo.1.11;

The Egyptians appointed taskmasters over the Israelites to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. The construction of these cities was part of the Egyptians' plan to subdue the growing Israelite population and prevent them from joining forces with Egypt's enemies in case of war (Exod. 1:9-10). The exact location of Pithom is uncertain, but it is believed to have been situated in the eastern Nile Delta region, possibly near the modern-day city of Tell el-Maskhuta. The name "Pithom" is thought to be derived from the Egyptian "Per-Atum," meaning "House of Atum," referring to the Egyptian god Atum.

It is mentioned in the New Testament as a place where Jewish inhabitants were present (Act.2.9; 18:2) and where early Christian communities were established (1 Pet. 1:1). On the day of Pentecost, Jews from Pontus were among those who heard the apostles speaking in their own languages (Act.2.9). Aquila, a Jew from Pontus, and his wife Priscilla, were tentmakers who had been expelled from Rome by Emperor Claudius and met Paul in Corinth (Act.18.2). They became close friends and co-workers of Paul, hosting a church in their home (1 Cor. 16:19). The apostle Peter addressed his first epistle to the pilgrims of the Dispersion in Pontus and other regions of Asia Minor (1 Pet. 1:1), indicating the presence of Christian believers in the area. The mention of Pontus in the New Testament reveals the spread of the gospel and the establishment of Christian communities in various parts of the Roman Empire. $========== PLACE Potsherd_Gate@Jer.19.2=H2777 Potsherd Gate= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem only mentioned at Jer.19.2;

The Lord instructed Jeremiah to go to the Potsherd Gate, which was near the entrance of the Valley of Ben Hinnom (or Gehenna), and proclaim a message of judgment against the people of Judah (Jer. 19:1-2). The Valley of Ben Hinnom was notorious for the practice of child sacrifice to the pagan god Molech (Jer. 32:35). Jeremiah was told to shatter an earthenware jar in front of the elders and priests as a symbol of the impending destruction of Jerusalem and its people (Jer. 19:10-11). The Potsherd Gate likely received its name from the fragments of broken pottery (potsherds) that were discarded in the nearby valley. The gate's location near the Valley of Ben Hinnom, a place associated with idolatry and judgment, underscores the severity of Jeremiah's prophetic message and the consequences of Judah's unfaithfulness to God. $========== PLACE Punon@Num.33.42-=H6325 Punon= near Dibon_1 (Diblathaim@Num.33.46-Jer=H5963) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.49684513710609,35.78284105296996,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.49684513710609,35.78284105296996 > #A location near Diblathaim first mentioned at Num.33.42;

The Israelites arrived at Punon after departing from Zalmonah and before moving on to Oboth (Num. 33:42-43). The exact location of Punon is uncertain, but it is believed to have been situated in the region of Edom, east of the Jordan River. According to the Jewish-Roman historian Josephus and early Christian scholars Eusebius and Jerome, Punon was identified with Phaeno (or Phinon), a site known for its copper mines and located between the ancient cities of Petra and Zoar. However, this identification remains speculative due to the lack of conclusive archaeological evidence. The biblical record does not provide any details about the events that occurred during the Israelites' stay at Punon, but its inclusion in the itinerary highlights the numerous stages and challenges the Israelites faced during their 40-year journey from Egypt to the Promised Land. $========== PLACE Puteoli@Act.28.13=G4223 Puteoli https://www.google.com/maps/@40.83563065297087,14.2677438666742,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@40.83563065297087,14.2677438666742 > #A location only mentioned at Act.28.13;

It is mentioned in the New Testament in connection with Paul's journey to Rome as a prisoner (Act.28.13). After sailing from Malta, where they had been shipwrecked, Paul and his companions arrived at Syracuse and then proceeded to Rhegium. From there, they sailed to Puteoli, where they found some Christian brothers and stayed with them for seven days (Act.28.13-14). Puteoli was a significant harbor and commercial center, serving as a gateway to Rome. It was also a major hub for the grain trade from Egypt, which was vital for supplying food to the populous city of Rome. The presence of a Christian community in Puteoli indicates the spread of the gospel in Italy, even before Paul's arrival in Rome. Paul's stay in Puteoli for a week suggests that he had the opportunity to fellowship with and encourage the local believers before continuing his journey to Rome, where he would await trial before Caesar. $========== PLACE Raamah@Ezk.27.22=H7484H Raamah https://www.google.com/maps/@15.68,42.78,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@15.68,42.78 > #A location only mentioned at Ezk.27.22;

The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with Tyre, supplying them with the best of all kinds of spices, precious stones, and gold (Ezek. 27:22). The exact location of Raamah is uncertain, but it is generally believed to have been situated in the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula, possibly in the region of modern-day Yemen. This identification is based on the association of Raamah with Sheba, a kingdom known for its wealth and located in the southern Arabian Peninsula. The reference to Raamah in Ezekiel's prophecy highlights the extensive trade network of Tyre, which included distant lands such as Arabia. The precious commodities mentioned—spices, gems, and gold—were highly valued in the ancient world and contributed to Tyre's prosperity and reputation as a major commercial center. $========== PLACE Raamses@Exo.1.11=H7486H Raamses= near Pithom (Pithom@Exo.1.11=H6619) https://www.google.com/maps/@30.59385132817632,32.18555803140015,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.59385132817632,32.18555803140015 > #A location near Pithom only mentioned at Exo.1.11;

The Egyptians appointed taskmasters over the Israelites to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Raamses as store cities for Pharaoh. The construction of these cities was part of the Egyptians' plan to subdue the growing Israelite population and prevent them from joining forces with Egypt's enemies in case of war (Exod. 1:9-10). The exact location of Raamses is debated, but it is generally associated with the city of Pi-Ramesses (House of Ramesses), the capital of Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BC. Pi-Ramesses was located in the eastern Nile Delta, near the modern-day city of Qantir. The name "Raamses" is thought to be derived from the name of Pharaoh Ramesses II, who was known for his extensive building projects. The mention of Raamses in the book of Exodus serves to illustrate the harsh conditions and oppression experienced by the Israelites in Egypt, setting the stage for God's miraculous deliverance of His people. $========== PLACE Rabbith@Jos.19.20=H7245 Rabbith https://www.google.com/maps/@32.391416,35.377302,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.391416,35.377302 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.19.20;

The exact location of Rabbith is uncertain, but it is believed to have been situated in the region of the Jezreel Valley, which was known for its fertile land and strategic importance. The Jezreel Valley was a major trade route and a key agricultural area in ancient Israel. The mention of Rabbith in the list of Issachar's towns highlights the allocation of specific territories to each of the twelve tribes of Israel, fulfilling God's promise to give them the land of Canaan as an inheritance.

Tiberias served as the capital of Galilee during the time of Jesus and is mentioned in the context of the feeding of the five thousand (Jhn.6.23). After this miracle, Jesus and his disciples crossed the Sea of Galilee, and boats from Tiberias followed them.

It is mentioned several times in the Bible in connection with various events and prophecies. During the period of the judges, Deborah, a prophetess and judge, held court between Ramah and Bethel (Judg. 4:5). In the story of the Levite and his concubine, the Levite planned to spend the night in Ramah before the tragic events in Gibeah (Judg. 19:13). Later, during the reign of King Baasha of Israel, he fortified Ramah to prevent people from going to or coming from Judah (1 Kgs. 15:17, 21-22; 2 Chr. 16:1, 5-6). The town was also mentioned in the context of the return of the exiles from Babylon (Ezra 2:26; Neh. 7:30) and as one of the settlements where the Benjamites lived after the exile (Neh. 11:33). The prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Hosea mentioned Ramah in their prophecies, often in connection with judgment or mourning (Isa. 10:29; Jer. 31:15; 40:1; Hos. 5:8).

The men of Judah, fearing Philistine reprisal, bound Samson and handed him over to the Philistines. However, when the Philistines came to capture him, the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson, and he broke free from his bonds. He then found a fresh jawbone of a donkey and used it to strike down a thousand Philistines (Judg. 15:14-16).

It was located in the land of Goshen. The Israelites later departed from Rameses at the beginning of the Exodus (Exo. 12:37; Num. 33:3,5). The name may come from the Egyptian phrase "Ra created it", referring to the sun god Ra. Some scholars believe Rameses was named after the pharaoh Rameses II of the 19th Dynasty, but the biblical chronology would place the Exodus much earlier.

King Solomon later built a fleet of ships on the Red Sea at Ezion-geber (1 Ki. 9:26).

It was the seat of power for the vast empire that ruled over much of the known world during the time of Jesus and the early church. Rome is mentioned in various contexts throughout the book of Acts and the epistles. Paul, as a Roman citizen, appealed to Caesar and was brought to Rome to stand trial (Act.25.11-12; 28:16). He spent at least two years under house arrest in Rome, during which time he wrote several epistles (Act.28.30-31; Eph. 6:20; Phil. 1:13; Col. 4:18; Philem. 1:1). Paul also expressed his desire to visit the church in Rome (Act.19.21; Rom. 1:10-15; 15:23-24). The church in Rome, though not founded by Paul, was well-established and included both Jewish and Gentile believers (Act.28.17-28; Rom. 1:7; 16:3-16). Rome was also the place where Emperor Claudius had expelled the Jews, including Aquila and Priscilla, leading them to settle in Corinth (Act.18.2). Tradition holds that both Paul and Peter were martyred in Rome during the reign of Emperor Nero.

After the conquest of Bashan, Salecah was allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh (Josh. 13:11). The city is also mentioned in the description of the territory of Gad, where it is said that the Gadites lived in the land of Bashan as far as Salecah (1 Chr. 5:11).

The exact location of Salim is uncertain, but it was likely situated somewhere in the Jordan Valley, possibly near the Jordan River or one of its tributaries. Some scholars suggest that Salim may be identified with the modern-day village of Ain Salim, located east of Nablus in the West Bank, while others propose alternative locations.

This reference provides a geographical marker for the route taken by the ship before it encountered difficult sailing conditions and eventually shipwrecked on the island of Malta (Act.27.8-44). Salmone is believed to be the modern-day Cape Sidero, the northeastern extremity of Crete, which extends into the Mediterranean Sea.

The Salt Sea is fed by the Jordan River and is known for its high salt content, which makes it inhospitable to marine life. In the Bible, the Salt Sea is often used as a geographical marker, particularly in relation to the boundaries of the Promised Land (Num. 34:3, 12; Josh. 15:2, 5; 18:19). It is also mentioned in the context of historical events, such as the battle between the kings of the region and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 14:3) and the extent of Jeroboam II's territorial expansion (2 Ki. 14:25).

The city served as the royal residence and the center of political power for the northern kingdom until its fall to the Assyrians in 722 BC (2 Ki. 17:5-6). After the Assyrian conquest, the region of Samaria was repopulated with people from various parts of the Assyrian Empire (2 Ki. 17:24), who intermarried with the remaining Israelites and became known as Samaritans. ¶The Samaritans developed their own religious practices, which combined elements of Israelite tradition with foreign customs (2 Ki. 17:26-28). They worshipped at Mount Gerizim instead of Jerusalem (Jhn. 4:20) and accepted only the first five books of the Bible as authoritative. ¶In the New Testament, Jesus encountered a Samaritan woman at Jacob's well (Jhn. 4:7-26) and used a Samaritan as an example of compassion in the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luk. 10:33). The early church spread to Samaria through the ministry of Philip (Act.8.5-25), and the apostles Peter and John later visited the region (Act.8.14-17). ¶Throughout the Bible, Samaria and the Samaritans are often portrayed as being in tension with the Jews due to religious and cultural differences (Jhn. 4:9; 8:48). However, Jesus and the early church demonstrated that the gospel was meant for all people, including the Samaritans. $========== PLACE Samos@Act.20.15=G4544 Samos https://www.google.com/maps/@37.715172,26.934167,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@37.715172,26.934167 > #A location only mentioned at Act.20.15;

In Psalm 72:10, the kings of Sheba and Seba are described as presenting gifts to the Messianic king. In Isaiah 43:3, God promises to give Egypt, Cush, and Seba as a ransom for Israel, indicating their value and the lengths to which God will go to redeem His people. ¶The exact location of Seba is uncertain, but it is generally associated with the region of Cush (modern-day Sudan) or the Arabian Peninsula. Some scholars suggest that Seba may have been a part of the kingdom of Sheba (modern-day Yemen), known for its wealth and trade in spices, gold, and precious stones. ¶The biblical references to Seba highlight the universal acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and the submission of nations to His anointed king.

When the book of the Law was found in the temple, Josiah sent messengers to consult Huldah, who then prophesied about the impending judgment on Judah and Jerusalem. ¶The Second Quarter is also mentioned in the prophecy of Zephaniah, where it is listed among the places in Jerusalem that would experience distress and destruction (Zeph. 1:10). This suggests that the Second Quarter was a significant residential area within the city. ¶The exact location and boundaries of the Second Quarter are not specified in the Bible.

The exact location of Secu is unknown, but it was likely in the vicinity of Ramah, a town in the territory of Benjamin, north of Jerusalem. ¶The mention of Secu in this narrative highlights the extent of Saul's pursuit of David and the unusual circumstances that prevented him from apprehending his perceived rival.

It was inhabited by the Horites before the descendants of Esau, the Edomites, dispossessed them (Gen. 14:6; Deut. 2:12, 22). ¶Seir is closely associated with Esau and his descendants, the Edomites (Gen. 32:3; 33:14, 16; 36:8, 9). It is often used interchangeably with Edom to refer to the nation that emerged from Esau's lineage (Gen. 36:30; Num. 24:18; Deut. 2:4, 8, 29; Josh. 24:4). ¶The region of Seir played a role in several biblical events. It was the location where the kings of the East fought against the Horites (Gen. 14:6). Moses and the Israelites passed through Seir during their wilderness wanderings, but were instructed not to provoke the Edomites to war (Deut. 1:44; 2:4, 8). Later, during the divided monarchy, King Amaziah of Judah defeated the Edomites in the Valley of Salt and captured Sela, a stronghold in Seir (2 Chr. 25:11, 14). ¶The prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel also mention Seir in their oracles, often in the context of God's judgment against Edom (Isa. 21:11; Ezek. 25:8). The region's rugged terrain and strategic location made it a formidable challenge for invading armies and a symbol of Edom's strength and pride. $========== PLACE Seir_Mount@Deu.1.2-Ezk=H8165G Mount Seir_1 https://www.google.com/maps/@30.734691,35.606250,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.734691,35.606250 > #A location first mentioned at Deu.1.2;

It is mentioned several times in the Bible, often in the context of the Israelites' interactions with the Edomites during their wilderness wanderings and later in their history. ¶Mount Seir is first mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy, where it is described as an eleven-day journey from Horeb (Sinai) by way of Mount Seir to Kadesh-barnea (Deut. 1:2). The Israelites were instructed to turn away from Mount Seir and pass through the territory of their brothers, the descendants of Esau, without provoking them (Deut. 2:1, 5). ¶During the reign of King Jehoshaphat of Judah, the Moabites, Ammonites, and some of the Meunites came against Judah by way of Mount Seir (2 Chr. 20:10, 22, 23). However, God caused these enemies to turn against each other, resulting in their defeat and the deliverance of Judah. ¶The prophet Ezekiel also delivered oracles against Mount Seir, declaring God's judgment against the Edomites for their hostility towards Israel (Ezek. 35:2, 3, 7, 15). This judgment would result in the desolation of Mount Seir and the recognition of God's sovereignty. ¶The specific location of Mount Seir within the region of Seir is not clearly defined in the Bible.

This Mount Seir is distinct from the more well-known Mount Seir in Edom, which is associated with Esau and his descendants. The name "Seir" means "shaggy" or "wooded," suggesting that this mountain was likely a wooded height.

Sela is mentioned in several biblical passages, often in the context of God's judgment against Edom (Isa. 16:1; 42:11). The city was known for its strategic location and natural defenses, as it was situated in a valley surrounded by steep cliffs. Sela is believed to be the ancient name for the city of Petra, the capital of the Nabataean kingdom, which was carved into the rock faces of the surrounding mountains.

Seleucia was founded by Seleucus I Nicator, one of Alexander the Great's generals, around 300 BC and became an important center of trade and commerce in the Seleucid Empire. In the New Testament, Seleucia is mentioned in Act.13.4 as the place from which Paul and Barnabas set sail for Cyprus on their first missionary journey after being sent out by the church in Antioch. The city's strategic location made it an ideal starting point for sea travel to the Mediterranean islands and beyond. Today, the ruins of ancient Seleucia can be found near the modern Turkish city of Samandağ. $========== PLACE Senaah@Ezr.2.35-Neh=H5570G https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 Tribe of Benjamin(?) #A location in Benjamin Tribe(?) first mentioned at Ezr.2.35;

The name "Senaah" is likely a variant of "Hassenaah," which means "the thorny" or "the pointed" in Hebrew. In both lists, the people of Senaah are counted among those who returned to their homeland under the leadership of Zerubbabel and Nehemiah. The town of Senaah is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, and its exact location is unknown. It was probably a small settlement in Judah, possibly near Jerusalem, where the returning exiles resettled after the Babylonian captivity. The inclusion of Senaah in these lists highlights the importance of recording the names and numbers of those who returned from exile, as they played a crucial role in rebuilding the Jewish community and restoring worship in Jerusalem. $========== PLACE Seneh@1Sa.14.4=H5573 Seneh https://www.google.com/maps/@31.85309428405443,35.28616916703533,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.85309428405443,35.28616916703533 > #A location only mentioned at 1Sa.14.4;

Seneh was one of two rocky crags, the other being Bozez, between which Jonathan and his armor-bearer had to pass to reach the Philistine outpost. The name "Seneh" means "thorny" or "pointed" in Hebrew, suggesting that the crag was sharp and difficult to traverse. The passage describes the challenging terrain, with cliffs on both sides of the pass, emphasizing the bravery and faith of Jonathan and his companion as they ventured into enemy territory. Their successful attack on the Philistines, despite the odds, demonstrated their trust in God and inspired the Israelites to pursue and defeat the Philistine army. $========== PLACE Sephar@Gen.10.30=H5611 Sephar https://www.google.com/maps/@14.550219,44.392642,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@14.550219,44.392642 > #A location only mentioned at Gen.10.30;

The text states that the territory extended "from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east." The exact location of Sephar is unknown, but it is described as a mountain in the eastern region. Some scholars suggest that Sephar may be associated with the ancient city of Zafar (or Dhofar) in modern-day Yemen, which was an important center of the incense trade in ancient times. However, this identification remains uncertain due to the limited information provided in the biblical text. The mention of Sephar in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10) highlights the geographical spread of the descendants of Noah's sons and the development of various nations and people groups in the ancient Near East. $========== PLACE Sepharad@Oba.1.20-Rev=H5614 Sardis https://www.google.com/maps/@38.47682690345803,28.11413118732089,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@38.47682690345803,28.11413118732089 > #A location first mentioned at Oba.1.20;

The exact location of Sepharad is uncertain, but many scholars believe it refers to Sardis, an ancient city in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey). Sardis was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lydia and later became an important city in the Persian and Roman empires. ¶In the book of Revelation, Sardis is mentioned as one of the seven churches addressed by Jesus (Rev. 1:11; 3:1, 4). The church in Sardis is rebuked for its spiritual deadness and is called to repent and strengthen what remains (Rev. 3:1-3). However, there were a few faithful believers in Sardis who had not defiled their garments, and they are promised to walk with Jesus in white (Rev. 3:4). ¶If Sepharad and Sardis are indeed the same place, the reference in Obadiah suggests that a Jewish community existed there, possibly as a result of the Babylonian exile. The mention of Sardis in Revelation highlights the city's significance in early Christian history and the challenges faced by the church in that location. $========== PLACE Sepharvaim@2Ki.17.24-Isa=H5617 Sepharvaim https://www.google.com/maps/@33.789693,44.459399,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.789693,44.459399 > #A location first mentioned at 2Ki.17.24;

The people of Sepharvaim, along with those from other cities, were brought in to replace the exiled Israelites and to populate the cities of Samaria. These foreign settlers brought with them their own gods and religious practices, including the worship of Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim (2 Ki. 17:31). The exact location of Sepharvaim is uncertain, but it is mentioned alongside other cities conquered by the Assyrians, such as Hamath and Arpad (2 Ki. 18:34; 19:13; Isa. 36:19; 37:13). Some scholars propose that Sepharvaim may be identified with the Babylonian city of Sippar, located on the east bank of the Euphrates River, while others suggest it could be a city in Syria or Cilicia. The resettlement of people from Sepharvaim and other cities in Samaria contributed to the mixed religious and cultural background of the Samaritans, who were later regarded with animosity by the Jews. $========== PLACE Shaalbim@Jos.19.42-1Ch=H8169 Shaalbim https://www.google.com/maps/@31.870364,34.981728,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.870364,34.981728 > #A location first mentioned at Jdg.1.35;

However, the Amorites persisted in dwelling in Shaalbim and its neighboring towns, Beth-shemesh and Aijalon, forcing the Danites into the hill country (Judg. 1:35). The town was later included in the administrative district overseen by Ben-Deker during Solomon's reign (1 Ki. 4:9). Shaalbim is also notable as the hometown of Eliahba the Shaalbonite, one of David's mighty men (2 Sam. 23:32; 1 Chr. 11:33). The term "Shaalbonite" indicates a person from Shaalbim, highlighting the town's significance in providing valiant warriors for David's army.

The passage states that they went through the hill country of Ephraim and the land of Shalishah, but did not find the donkeys. They then passed through the land of Shaalim and the land of Benjamin, still without success. The exact location of Shaalim is unknown, but it was likely situated in the central hill country of Israel, north of Jerusalem. The mention of Shaalim in this narrative serves to highlight the extent of Saul's search for the donkeys and the various regions he traversed before encountering the prophet Samuel, who would anoint him as the first king of Israel. The fact that Shaalim is mentioned only once in the Bible, and without any further details, suggests that it was a relatively obscure or minor region in the landscape of ancient Israel. $========== PLACE Shaaraim@Jos.15.36-1Sa=H8189G Shaaraim_1 https://www.google.com/maps/@31.7001,34.89532,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.7001,34.89532 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.15.36;

The town is also referenced in the account of David's victory over Goliath and the Philistines (1 Sam. 17). After the Philistines were defeated at Socoh, they retreated down the valley of Elah (modern Wadi es-Sant) toward Gath and Ekron, passing by Shaaraim (1 Sam. 17:52). Some scholars suggest that the "two gates" mentioned in this passage may refer to the Philistine strongholds of Gath and Ekron themselves, rather than a specific town. The exact location of Shaaraim is uncertain, but it has been tentatively identified with Tell Zakariya or Khirbet Sa'ireh, both located in the Shephelah region.

However, the prophecy suggests that Shaphir's beauty would be stripped away as a result of God's judgment on the nation. The mention of Shaphir alongside other towns in Micah's oracle highlights the widespread nature of the divine judgment and the consequences of Judah's unfaithfulness. $========== PLACE Sharon@1Ch.27.29-Act=H8289I Sharon_1 https://www.google.com/maps/@32.639068,34.945929,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.639068,34.945929 > #A location first mentioned at 1Ch.27.29;

It stretches along the Mediterranean coast from Joppa to Mount Carmel. The region was famous for its flowers, particularly the Rose of Sharon (Sng.2.1), and its productive fields and forests (Isa. 35:2). During the reign of King David, Sharon was known for its herds of cattle, overseen by Shitrai the Sharonite (1 Chr. 27:29). The prophet Isaiah used Sharon as a symbol of fruitfulness and blessing, contrasting it with the desolation brought by God's judgment (Isa. 33:9; 65:10). In the New Testament, the plain of Sharon is mentioned in connection with the ministry of the apostle Peter, who healed Aeneas in Lydda and proclaimed the gospel throughout the region (Act.9.35). The fertile soil and moderate climate of Sharon made it a prosperous agricultural area, supporting a variety of crops and livestock. Its location along the coastal trade routes also contributed to its economic significance in ancient Israel. $========== PLACE Sharon@1Ch.5.16=H8289H Sharon_2= near Mount Hermon (Hermon_Mount@Deu.3.8-Ezk=H2768) https://www.google.com/maps/@33.41615982399708,35.85725617635589,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.41615982399708,35.85725617635589 > #A location near Hermon Mount only mentioned at 1Ch.5.16;

This reference occurs in the context of the genealogy and territorial allotment of the tribe of Gad. The Gadites, known for their skill in warfare and their large numbers of livestock, settled in the region of Gilead and Bashan, which included the area of Sharon. This Sharon is distinct from the well-known coastal plain of Sharon west of the Jordan. The exact location and extent of this eastern Sharon are not specified in the biblical text. It likely refers to a fertile grazing area within the territory of Gad, suitable for the tribe's extensive herds and flocks.

The different names may refer to the same place or to closely related settlements in the same area. Sharuhen is listed among the towns in the southern part of Judah's territory, in the Negev region. It was one of the towns given to Simeon when the tribe received an inheritance within Judah's allotment (Josh. 19:1-9). The exact location of Sharuhen is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the semi-arid region south of Hebron. Some scholars propose identifying it with Tell el-Far'ah, a site about 12 miles south of Gaza, where excavations have revealed remains from the Middle Bronze Age and later periods. However, this identification remains tentative due to limited archaeological evidence. The mention of Sharuhen in the lists of towns allotted to Simeon and Judah highlights the close relationship between the two tribes and the integration of Simeon's territory within Judah's borders. $========== PLACE Shaveh@Gen.14.5-=H7740 Shaveh= near Kiriathaim_1 (Kiriathaim@Gen.14.5-Amo=H7156G) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.58333333329998,35.70000000000012,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.58333333329998,35.70000000000012 > #A location near Kiriathaim first mentioned at Gen.14.5;

This event took place before the battle against the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Valley of Siddim.

It was renowned for its wealth, derived from its control of the spice and incense trade routes. The Bible mentions Sheba in connection with its trade in gold, spices, precious stones, and incense (1 Ki. 10:2, 10; 2 Chr. 9:1, 9; Ps. 72:15; Isa. 60:6; Jer. 6:20; Ezek. 27:22). ¶The most famous biblical account involving Sheba is the visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon (1 Ki. 10:1-13; 2 Chr. 9:1-12). Intrigued by reports of Solomon's wisdom and prosperity, the queen journeyed to Jerusalem with a great caravan, bearing gifts of gold, spices, and precious stones. She tested Solomon with hard questions and was impressed by his wisdom and the splendor of his court. The queen praised Solomon and his God, acknowledging the divine source of his wisdom and success. ¶Sheba is also mentioned in prophetic and poetic texts, often as a symbol of distant and exotic lands (Ps. 72:10; Isa. 60:6; Ezek. 38:13). In the New Testament, Jesus refers to the Queen of the South (Sheba) as one who will rise up in judgment against those who reject His message, emphasizing her recognition of wisdom and truth (Luke 11:31). ¶The kingdom of Sheba played a significant role in the trade networks of the ancient Near East, and its mention in the Bible attests to its fame and influence during the biblical period. $========== PLACE Shebarim@Jos.7.5=H7671 Shebarim= near Ai_1 (Ai@Gen.12.8-Isa=H5857G) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.91697811712517,35.26122639380886,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.91697811712517,35.26122639380886 > #A location near Ai only mentioned at Jos.7.5;

After the conquest of Jericho, the Israelites attacked the city of Ai but were defeated because of Achan's sin of taking devoted things from Jericho. As a result, the men of Ai struck down about thirty-six Israelites and pursued them from the city gate as far as Shebarim. ¶The exact location of Shebarim is unknown, but it was likely a place near Ai where the terrain allowed the defenders to overtake the fleeing Israelites. The name "Shebarim" means "the breaks" or "the quarries," possibly indicating a rocky or broken landscape that made escape difficult. ¶The mention of Shebarim in this narrative highlights the consequences of disobedience and sin within the Israelite camp. Achan's violation of God's command led to defeat and humiliation at the hands of a smaller enemy force. The pursuit of the Israelites to Shebarim underscores the extent of their defeat and the vulnerability caused by their failure to uphold God's standards of holiness. $========== PERSON+PLACE Shechem@Gen.12.6-Act=H7927G Shechem Hamor@Gen.33.19-Act + https://www.google.com/maps/@32.21369123124062,35.2817986718367,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.21369123124062,35.2817986718367 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.12.6;

It is mentioned numerous times throughout the Bible, often in connection with significant events in Israel's history. ¶Shechem first appears in the account of Abraham's journey to Canaan, where he built an altar to the Lord (Gen. 12:6-7). Later, Israel (or 'Jacob') settled near Shechem and purchased a piece of land, setting up an altar there (Gen. 33:18-20). However, the city also became the site of violence when Jacob's daughter Dinah was violated by Shechem, the son of Hamor, leading to the massacre of the city's male inhabitants by Jacob's sons Simeon and Levi (Gen. 34). ¶During the conquest of Canaan, Shechem was allotted to the tribe of Ephraim and designated as a city of refuge (Josh. 20:7; 21:21). Joshua gathered the tribes at Shechem to renew the covenant and set up a stone of remembrance (Josh. 24:1, 25-26). The city later became the site of Abimelech's short-lived kingdom (Judg. 9) and was rebuilt by Jeroboam as the capital of the northern kingdom of Israel (1 Ki. 12:25). ¶Shechem held religious significance, as evidenced by the blessings and curses pronounced from Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal (Deut. 11:29; 27:12; Josh. 8:33). The city is also mentioned in the Psalms as a symbol of God's dominion over Israel (Ps. 60:6; 108:7). ¶In the New Testament, Stephen's speech before the Sanhedrin mentions Shechem as the burial place of Jacob and his sons (Act.7.16), although this differs from the Old Testament account of their burial at Hebron (Gen. 49:29-33; 50:13). ¶Shechem's location at the crossroads of major trade routes contributed to its strategic and economic importance. The city's history, marked by both sacred events and periods of violence, reflects the complex dynamics of Israelite settlement and inter-tribal relations in Canaan. $========== PLACE Sheep_Gate@Neh.3.1-Jhn=H6629H Sheep Gate= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem first mentioned at Neh.3.1;

The high priest Eliashib and his fellow priests took responsibility for rebuilding this gate (Nehemiah 3:1), making it the first structure mentioned in Nehemiah's systematic description of the wall's reconstruction. ¶ The gate marked a significant point in Jerusalem's defensive walls. It appears at both the beginning and end of Nehemiah's description of the wall repairs (Nehemiah 3:1, 32), suggesting it may have been a starting and ending point for the reconstruction project. During the dedication of the rebuilt walls, one of the thanksgiving processions passed through the Sheep Gate (Nehemiah 12:39). ¶ In the New Testament, the gate is mentioned indirectly in connection with the Pool of Bethesda, which was located near the Sheep Gate (Jhn.5.2). This reference helps establish its location in the northeastern section of Jerusalem. ¶ The gate probably derived its name from its use as an entrance point for sheep being brought to the nearby Temple for sacrifice, though this is not explicitly stated in Scripture. ¶ Probably corresponds to the modern location near the Lion's Gate (also called St. Stephen's Gate) in Jerusalem's Old City walls. $========== PLACE Shelah@Neh.2.14-Jhn=H7975A Siloam= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem first mentioned at Neh.2.14;

It was fed by the waters of the Gihon Spring, which were diverted through Hezekiah's Tunnel, a remarkable engineering feat of the 8th century BC (2 Chr. 32:30; Isa. 22:11). ¶The pool is mentioned in various contexts throughout the Bible. In the time of Nehemiah, the wall of Jerusalem was repaired near the Pool of Shelah (Neh. 3:15), and Nehemiah himself inspected the walls by the King's Pool (Neh. 2:14). The prophet Isaiah used the gently flowing waters of Shiloah as a metaphor for the calm and trust in God, in contrast to the mighty waters of the Euphrates, symbolizing the Assyrian threat (Isa. 8:6). ¶In the New Testament, Jesus healed a man born blind by sending him to wash in the Pool of Siloam (Jhn.9.7, 11). This miracle not only demonstrated Jesus' power but also served as a spiritual lesson about faith and the true identity of the Messiah. The Gospel of Luke also records an incident where eighteen people were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them (Luke 13:4), using this event to teach about the need for repentance. ¶The Pool of Siloam has been identified with the archaeological site known as the Siloam Pool, which was discovered in 2004. Excavations have revealed a large pool from the Second Temple period, consistent with the biblical descriptions and historical accounts of the site. $========== PLACE Shema@Jos.15.26=H8090 Shema= near Moladah (Moladah@Jos.15.26-Neh=H4137) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.162327,35.057114,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.162327,35.057114 > #A location near Moladah only mentioned at Jos.15.26;

This region is mentioned numerous times throughout the Old Testament, often in the context of military campaigns, agricultural abundance, and territorial allotment. ¶The Shephelah was known for its strategic importance, as it served as a natural buffer between the hill country of Judah and the Philistine cities along the coast. During the conquest of Canaan, Joshua and the Israelites fought against the kings of the Shephelah (Josh. 9:1; 10:40; 11:2, 16; 12:8). The region was allotted to the tribes of Judah and Dan (Josh. 15:33; Judg. 1:9). ¶The Shephelah was renowned for its fertility and agricultural productivity. It was a region where wheat, barley, grapes, and olives were cultivated (1 Chr. 27:28; 2 Chr. 26:10). The abundance of sycamore and cedar trees in the Shephelah was compared to the abundance of stones during Solomon's reign (1 Ki. 10:27; 2 Chr. 1:15; 9:27). ¶The prophets Jeremiah and Zechariah mention the Shephelah in their prophecies, highlighting its importance and the restoration of its cities and villages (Jer. 17:26; 32:44; 33:13; Zech. 7:7). The prophet Obadiah also foretells that the people of the Shephelah will possess the fields of Ephraim and Samaria (Obad. 1:19). ¶The Shephelah played a significant role in the history of ancient Israel, serving as a region of strategic, agricultural, and prophetic importance. Its fertile valleys and proximity to major trade routes made it a valuable and contested area throughout the biblical period. $========== PLACE Shepher_Mount@Num.33.23-=H8234 Mount Shepher= near Mount Hor_1 (Hor_Mount@Num.20.22-Deu=H2023G) https://www.google.com/maps/@30.317396,35.407152,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.317396,35.407152 > #A location near Hor Mount first mentioned at Num.33.23;

After the conquest of Canaan, the tabernacle was set up at Shiloh, and it served as the central place of worship for the nation (Josh. 18:1; 19:51). It was at Shiloh that the land was allotted to the tribes of Israel (Josh. 18:8-10; 21:2) and where the Reubenites, Gadites, and half-tribe of Manasseh were dismissed to their territories east of the Jordan (Josh. 22:9, 12). ¶During the time of the judges, Shiloh continued to be a significant religious site. The tabernacle remained at Shiloh throughout this period (Judg. 18:31), and annual festivals were held there (Judg. 21:19, 21). It was at Shiloh that Hannah prayed for a son and dedicated Samuel to the Lord's service (1 Sam. 1:3, 9, 24). The priest Eli and his sons ministered at the tabernacle in Shiloh (1 Sam. 2:14; 3:21; 4:3, 4, 12), and the Ark of the Covenant was kept there until it was captured by the Philistines (1 Sam. 4:3, 4). ¶Shiloh's importance declined after the Ark was taken and the tabernacle was destroyed (Ps. 78:60; Jer. 7:12, 14; 26:6, 9). The prophet Ahijah, who prophesied the division of the kingdom, was from Shiloh (1 Ki. 11:29; 14:2, 4). The town was eventually destroyed, and its ruins served as a warning against disobedience to God (Jer. 7:12, 14; 26:6, 9). ¶Shiloh's significance in the biblical narrative lies in its role as a religious and political center during the formative years of Israel's history. Its central location in the hill country of Ephraim made it a convenient meeting place for the tribes and a symbol of their unity under the worship of the Lord. $========== PLACE Shimron@Jos.11.1-=H8110A Shimron https://www.google.com/maps/@32.70528895585606,35.21333285757741,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.70528895585606,35.21333285757741 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.11.1;

It first appears in the account of the northern coalition of Canaanite kings who gathered to fight against Israel (Josh. 11:1). The king of Shimron-meron is listed among those who joined forces with Jabin, king of Hazor, to oppose Joshua and the Israelites. ¶In the subsequent battle, Joshua and the Israelites defeated the Canaanite coalition, including the king of Shimron-meron (Josh. 12:20). The city of Shimron was later allotted to the tribe of Zebulun as part of their inheritance in the Promised Land (Josh. 19:15). ¶The exact location of Shimron is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the northern part of Canaan, in the region later known as Galilee. Some scholars propose identifying Shimron with the archaeological site of Tel Shimron, located in the Jezreel Valley, near the modern-day town of Timrat. However, this identification remains tentative due to limited archaeological evidence. ¶The mention of Shimron in the conquest narratives highlights the extent of the Canaanite opposition to Israel's entrance into the Promised Land and the subsequent victory of Joshua and the Israelites under God's guidance.

This region became historically significant immediately after the Flood when people migrated to a plain in Shinar and built the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:2). ¶ The area was ruled by powerful kings from an early period. Amraphel, king of Shinar, appears among the coalition of kings who fought against the cities of the plain during Abraham's time (Genesis 14:1,9). This demonstrates the region's significant political influence in the ancient Near East. ¶ Shinar's wealth and craftsmanship were renowned. During the conquest of Canaan, Achan coveted and stole a beautiful robe from Shinar among other valuable items (Joshua 7:21). The quality of its goods made them highly desirable as plunder. ¶ The region maintained its importance throughout biblical history. Isaiah mentioned Shinar among the places from which God would recover the remnant of His people (Isaiah 11:11). During the Babylonian exile, King Nebuchadnezzar took vessels from Jerusalem's temple to "the land of Shinar," to the house of his god (Dan.1.2). ¶ In a prophetic vision, Zechariah saw wickedness being transported to Shinar, where a house would be built for it (Zechariah 5:11), suggesting the region's enduring association with rebellion against God. ¶ Probably corresponds to ancient Sumer and Babylonia, encompassing the southern portion of modern Iraq between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. $========== PLACE Shion@Jos.19.19=H7866 Shion https://www.google.com/maps/@32.716666,35.333334,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.716666,35.333334 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.19.19;

It is listed along with other towns in the region, such as Shunem, Hapharaim, and Anaharath. The exact location of Shion is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the Jezreel Valley, within the territory of Issachar. Some scholars propose identifying Shion with Khirbet Sha'in, an archaeological site located approximately 4 miles northwest of Mount Tabor . However, this identification remains tentative due to limited archaeological evidence. The name "Shion" may be derived from the Hebrew verb "shw'," meaning "to be emptied or ravaged" , possibly indicating the town's history or condition. The mention of Shion in the allotment of Issachar's territory highlights the importance of the tribal inheritance and the distribution of towns and lands among the people of Israel. $========== PLACE Shittim@Num.25.1-Mic=H7851G Abel-shittim https://www.google.com/maps/@31.85826217905818,35.64156652792805,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.85826217905818,35.64156652792805 > #A location first mentioned at Num.33.49;

At Shittim, the Israelites fell into sin with the Moabite women and worshipped the Moabite god Baal of Peor, resulting in a plague that killed 24,000 people (Numbers 25:1-9). It was also from Shittim that Joshua sent two spies to investigate Jericho (Joshua 2:1) and where the Israelites camped before crossing the Jordan (Joshua 3:1).

In this prophecy, Joel describes a future time when the mountains will drip with sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, and all the ravines of Judah will run with water. Specifically, he mentions that a fountain will flow from the house of the Lord and water the Shittim Valley. The exact location of the Shittim Valley is uncertain, but it is likely a reference to the area near the ancient city of Shittim, also known as Abel-shittim, located east of the Jordan River in the plains of Moab (Num. 33:49). This region was the last encampment of the Israelites before they crossed the Jordan to enter the Promised Land (Josh. 3:1). The mention of the Shittim Valley in Joel's prophecy symbolizes the abundant blessings and restoration that God will bring to His people, even to the dry and desolate areas.

In this prophecy, Ezekiel uses the metaphor of two sisters, Oholah (representing Samaria) and Oholibah (representing Jerusalem), who engaged in prostitution with various nations. Among the nations mentioned are the Babylonians, Chaldeans, Assyrians, and the people of Shoa. The exact identity and location of Shoa are uncertain, but it is likely that they were a people group from the region of Mesopotamia or the Arabian Peninsula. Some scholars propose that Shoa may be a reference to the Sutu, a nomadic people mentioned in Assyrian and Babylonian texts. The inclusion of Shoa in this list of nations highlights the extent of Jerusalem's spiritual unfaithfulness and its alliances with foreign powers. The prophecy warns of the judgment that will come upon Jerusalem for its sins, as God will bring these nations against the city to execute His punishment. $========== PLACE Shual@1Sa.13.17=H7777A Shual= near Ophrah_1 (Ophrah@Jos.18.23-Mic=H6084G) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.95378955858199,35.29913577541004,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.95378955858199,35.29913577541004 > #A location near Ophrah only mentioned at 1Sa.13.17;

After the Philistines assembled a large army at Michmash, they sent out raiding parties in three directions. One company turned toward Ophrah in the land of Shual, while the others went toward Beth-horon and the Valley of Zeboim. The exact location of Shual is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the territory of Benjamin, north of Jerusalem. The name "Shual" means "fox" or "jackal" in Hebrew, possibly indicating the presence of these animals in the region or reflecting the cunning nature of the Philistine raiders. The mention of Shual in this narrative highlights the ongoing conflict between the Israelites and the Philistines during Saul's reign and the challenges faced by the newly established monarchy. It also demonstrates the strategic importance of the region and the need for effective defense against enemy incursions. $========== PLACE Shunem@Jos.19.18-2Ki=H7766 Shunem https://www.google.com/maps/@32.60563102234625,35.33430585716489,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.60563102234625,35.33430585716489 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.19.18;

It is most well-known as the home of the Shunammite woman, who showed hospitality to the prophet Elisha (2 Ki. 4:8). This woman, recognizing Elisha as a holy man of God, prepared a room for him to stay whenever he passed through the town. In return for her kindness, Elisha prophesied that she would have a son, despite her husband's old age. Later, when the child died, Elisha raised him back to life, demonstrating God's power and the prophet's authority (2 Ki. 4:18-37). ¶Shunem is also mentioned in the context of the conflict between Israel and the Philistines during the reign of King Saul. The Philistines gathered their forces at Shunem, while Saul and the Israelites camped at Mount Gilboa (1 Sam. 28:4). It was during this time that Saul, in desperation, sought out a medium to consult the spirit of the deceased prophet Samuel (1 Sam. 28:7-25). ¶The town of Shunem was strategically located along the main trade route connecting the Jezreel Valley with the coastal plain. Its mention in various biblical narratives highlights its importance as a regional center and a place of significant events in Israel's history. The account of the Shunammite woman and Elisha also serves as an example of faith, hospitality, and God's power to bring life and restoration. $========== PLACE Shur@Gen.16.7-1Sa=H7793 Shur https://www.google.com/maps/@30.2354,33.247,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.2354,33.247 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.16.7;

It first appears in the story of Hagar, who fled from Sarah and encountered the angel of the Lord near a spring on the way to Shur (Gen. 16:7). Later, Abraham settled between Kadesh and Shur, sojourning in Gerar (Gen. 20:1). The descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son with Hagar, are described as dwelling from Havilah to Shur, east of Egypt (Gen. 25:18). ¶During the Exodus, after crossing the Red Sea, the Israelites went three days into the wilderness of Shur before reaching Marah, where God miraculously provided drinkable water (Exod. 15:22). In the time of King Saul, he defeated the Amalekites from Havilah to Shur, which is east of Egypt (1 Sam. 15:7). Later, when David was fleeing from Saul, he and his men raided the Geshurites, Girzites, and Amalekites, who inhabited the land from Telam as far as Shur and Egypt (1 Sam. 27:8). ¶The exact boundaries of the wilderness of Shur are not specified in the Bible, but it appears to have been a desert region stretching from the eastern border of Egypt toward Canaan. Its location along the route between these two regions made it a significant area for travel, trade, and military campaigns in biblical times. $========== PLACE Sibmah@Num.32.38-Jer=H7643H Sibmah https://www.google.com/maps/@31.815283,35.766738,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.815283,35.766738 > #A location first mentioned at Num.32.38;

It was initially conquered by the Israelites during their journey to Canaan and allotted to the tribe of Reuben (Num. 32:38; Josh. 13:19). The town was known for its lush vineyards, which were celebrated for their productivity and the quality of their grapes. ¶The prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah both mention Sibmah in their prophecies concerning the judgment of Moab. Isaiah laments over the destruction of the vineyards of Sibmah, describing how the rulers of the nations have trampled down its vines that once reached as far as Jazer and the wilderness (Isa. 16:8-9). Similarly, Jeremiah prophesies that the shouting over the summer fruits and the harvest will cease in the fields of Heshbon and the vineyards of Sibmah (Jer. 48:32). ¶These prophecies indicate that Sibmah, along with other Moabite towns, would face divine judgment for its pride and idolatry. The destruction of its renowned vineyards symbolizes the extent of the coming devastation and the loss of Moab's prosperity and joy. ¶Although the exact location of Sibmah is uncertain, it is believed to have been situated near Heshbon, a prominent Moabite city. The ruins of Qurn el-Kibsh, about 3 miles southwest of Heshbon, have been proposed as a possible site for ancient Sibmah. $========== PLACE Sibraim@Ezk.47.16=H5453 Sibraim= near Hamath (Hamath@Num.13.21-Zec=H2574G) https://www.google.com/maps/@35.136204,36.749488,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@35.136204,36.749488 > #A location near Hamath only mentioned at Ezk.47.16;

In this vision, Ezekiel describes the northern border of the land, extending from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. Sibraim is listed as one of the landmarks along this border, situated between the territory of Damascus and that of Hamath. ¶The exact location of Sibraim is uncertain, as it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible or in other historical sources. Some scholars propose that it may be identified with the modern-day village of Khirbet Sariman, located about 40 miles northeast of Damascus. However, this identification remains tentative due to the lack of conclusive evidence. ¶Ezekiel's vision of the restored Promised Land and its boundaries, including the mention of Sibraim, emphasizes God's faithfulness to His covenant promises and His plan to restore Israel to its rightful inheritance. The delineation of the land's borders also highlights the importance of God's sovereign allotment and the need for His people to trust in His provision and guidance. $========== PLACE Siddim_Valley@Gen.14.3-=H7708 Valley of Siddim https://www.google.com/maps/@31.235341,35.517624,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.235341,35.517624 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.14.3;

It is mentioned in the context of the battle between the four kings of the east, led by Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and the five kings of the cities of the plain, including the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 14:8-10). ¶The Valley of Siddim is described as being full of tar pits (Gen. 14:10), which played a significant role in the battle's outcome. When the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some of their men fell into these tar pits, while the rest escaped to the hills. This allowed the eastern kings to seize the goods and provisions of Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as capture Lot, Abraham's nephew, who was living in Sodom (Gen. 14:11-12). ¶The exact location of the Valley of Siddim is uncertain, as the geography of the region has undergone significant changes since biblical times. Some scholars believe that it may have been located in the area now covered by the southern basin of the Dead Sea, which is much shallower than the northern basin. Others propose that it could have been situated in the nearby plain, south of the Dead Sea. ¶The mention of the Valley of Siddim in the Bible is significant, as it sets the stage for Abraham's rescue of Lot and his subsequent encounter with Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High (Gen. 14:13-20).

It is mentioned in various contexts throughout the Bible, including the Old Testament (Gen. 10:19; Josh. 11:8; Judg. 10:6; Isa. 23:2-4; Jer. 27:3; Ezek. 28:21-22) and the New Testament (Matt. 11:21-22; Luke 4:26; Act.27.3). @Article= Sidon was an ancient Phoenician city located on the Mediterranean coast. First mentioned in Genesis as a border marker of Canaan (Genesis 10:19), it was named among the territories that Israel failed to conquer (Judges 1:31). ¶ The city was known for its maritime expertise. Sidonians were skilled sailors and craftsmen, particularly noted for their lumber trade. They supplied cedar for both Solomon's temple and the post-exile reconstruction (1Ki.5.6; Ezra 3:7). Ezekiel described Sidon's mariners as skilled oarsmen (Ezk.27.8). ¶ Sidon frequently appears in connection with idolatry. The city's deities, particularly Ashtoreth, influenced Israelite worship during periods of apostasy (Judges 10:6). Solomon's Sidonian wives led him into idol worship (1Ki.11.1,5), and Jezebel, a Sidonian princess, promoted Baal worship in Israel (1Ki.16.31). ¶ Several prophets pronounced judgment against Sidon. Isaiah depicted it as a mourning merchant city (Isaiah 23:2,4,12). Jeremiah included it among nations to drink God's cup of wrath (Jeremiah 25:22). Ezekiel prophesied against it, declaring God would be glorified through its judgment (Ezk.28.21-22). ¶ In the New Testament, Jesus mentioned Sidon in comparing it favorably to unrepentant Jewish cities (Matthew 11:21-22). He visited the region of Tyre and Sidon (Mrk.7.24,31), and people from these areas came to hear him (Luke 6:17). The apostle Paul visited Sidon during his journey to Rome (Act.27.3). ¶ The city maintained commercial relations with Herod's territories, as evidenced by the reference to Tyre and Sidon's dependence on Herod's country for food (Act.12.20). ¶ Probably corresponds to modern Saida in Lebanon, which has maintained continuous habitation since ancient times. $========== PLACE Silla@2Ki.12.20=H5538 Silla= near Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location near Jerusalem only mentioned at 2Ki.12.20;

The exact location of Silla is unknown, but it was likely a place in or near Jerusalem, possibly a road or a district in the city. Some scholars propose that Silla may be related to the Hebrew word "mesillah," meaning "highway" or "causeway," suggesting that it could have been a major thoroughfare. The assassination of Joash at Silla marked the end of his reign and the beginning of the reign of his son Amaziah (2 Ki. 12:21).

The Israelites arrived at the Wilderness of Sin on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from Egypt (Exod. 16:1). ¶It was in the Wilderness of Sin that God first provided manna and quail for the Israelites to eat (Exod. 16:4-36). The people had been grumbling against Moses and Aaron due to the lack of food, and God responded by miraculously supplying them with sustenance. The manna, described as a fine, flake-like substance, appeared every morning except on the Sabbath, and the Israelites were instructed to gather only as much as they needed for each day. ¶The Israelites left the Wilderness of Sin and camped at Rephidim, where there was no water for the people to drink (Exod. 17:1). Once again, the people complained against Moses, and God instructed him to strike the rock at Horeb, which miraculously provided water for the entire congregation (Exod. 17:5-7). ¶In the list of the Israelites' campsites recorded in the Book of Numbers, the Wilderness of Sin is mentioned between the campsites of Dophkah and Alush (Num. 33:11-12). ¶The experiences of the Israelites in the Wilderness of Sin, including the provision of manna and water, served as important lessons about God's faithfulness, providence, and the importance of trusting in Him.

It is the mountain where God revealed Himself to Moses and gave him the Ten Commandments, as well as other laws and instructions for the Israelites. ¶After the Exodus from Egypt, the Israelites camped at the base of Mount Sinai for about a year (Exod. 19:1-2). During this time, God called Moses to the top of the mountain and spoke to him, giving him the Ten Commandments and other laws (Exod. 19-31). The mountain was filled with smoke, fire, and thunder, symbolizing the awesome presence of God (Exod. 19:16-19). ¶Moses spent forty days and forty nights on the mountain, receiving instructions from God and writing down the laws (Exod. 24:18; 34:28). He also received the two stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments (Exod. 31:18; 34:1, 4, 28-29). ¶The location of Mount Sinai is not specified in the Bible, but tradition has identified it with Jebel Musa (Mountain of Moses) in the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula. However, some scholars have proposed alternative locations, such as Jebel al-Lawz in Saudi Arabia, based on various geographical and archaeological considerations. ¶Throughout the Bible, Sinai is mentioned as a symbol of God's revelation, covenant, and law (Deut. 33:2; Judg. 5:5; Ps. 68:8, 17; Neh. 9:13; Mal. 4:4). In the New Testament, Paul uses Sinai as an allegory for the old covenant, in contrast to the new covenant represented by the heavenly Jerusalem (Gal. 4:24-25). ¶The events at Sinai, including the giving of the Ten Commandments and the establishment of the Mosaic covenant, were pivotal moments in the history of Israel and laid the foundation for their identity as God's chosen people. $========== PLACE Sinai_Wilderness@Exo.19.1-Num=H4057G https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 > #A location first mentioned at Exo.19.1;

It was in this wilderness, at Mount Sinai, that God gave Moses the Ten Commandments and established His covenant with Israel (Leviticus 7:38, Numbers 3:4). The Israelites set up the Tabernacle in the Sinai Wilderness (Numbers 1:1,19; 9:1,5). They took a census of the people there (Numbers 1:19, 26:64). The Sinai Wilderness was one of the early stops on Israel's journey from Egypt to the Promised Land (Numbers 10:12, 33:15-16).

After rescuing his wives and the families of his men from the Amalekites who had raided Ziklag, David sent gifts from the plunder to the elders of various towns in Judah, including Siphmoth. This gesture was likely intended to strengthen David's relationships with these towns and gain their support as he sought to establish his kingdom. The exact location of Siphmoth is unknown, but it was probably situated in the southern part of Judah, near other towns mentioned in the same passage, such as Aroer, Eshtemoa, and Hormah. The name "Siphmoth" may be derived from the Hebrew word "sapham," meaning "to cover" or "to hide," possibly indicating a concealed or protected location.

Abner, who had been the commander of Saul's army, had recently defected to David's side after a dispute with Ish-bosheth, Saul's son. Joab, David's military commander, held a grudge against Abner for killing his brother Asahel in battle (2 Sam. 2:18-23). ¶When Abner left David's presence at Hebron, Joab sent messengers after him and brought him back from the Cistern of Sirah. Upon Abner's return, Joab took him aside and stabbed him to death in revenge for his brother's killing (2 Sam. 3:27). ¶The exact location of Sirah is not specified in the biblical text, but it was apparently a well-known landmark near Hebron. The name "Sirah" may be derived from the Hebrew word "sur," meaning "to turn aside" or "to depart," possibly indicating a place where travelers would stop or turn off the main road. ¶David, who had not authorized Abner's murder, mourned his death and publicly cursed Joab and his family for their treachery (2 Sam. 3:28-39).

After the Philistines had stopped up the wells that Abraham's servants had dug, Isaac began to reopen them. He also dug new wells, including one he named Sitnah. ¶The name "Sitnah" is derived from the Hebrew word "satan," meaning "accusation" or "enmity." This name was given to the well because the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac's herdsmen, claiming the water as their own. ¶The dispute over the well at Sitnah was part of a larger pattern of conflict between Isaac and the Philistines. The Philistines, envious of Isaac's prosperity, had stopped up the wells and sent him away (Gen. 26:14-16). Despite these challenges, Isaac persisted in his efforts to establish himself in the land, trusting in God's promise to bless him and his descendants. ¶The story of Isaac's wells, including Sitnah, illustrates the challenges faced by the patriarchs as they sought to maintain their presence in Canaan. It also highlights the importance of water rights in the semi-arid region and the potential for conflict over these valuable resources. $========== PLACE Smyrna@Rev.1.11-=G4667 Smyrna https://www.google.com/maps/@38.45196037886051,27.16192104844777,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@38.45196037886051,27.16192104844777 > #A location first mentioned at Rev.1.11;

In the letter to the church of Smyrna, Jesus Christ acknowledges the church's suffering, poverty, and the blasphemy they faced from those who claimed to be Jews but were actually a "synagogue of Satan" (Rev. 2:9). ¶Despite their hardships, the church of Smyrna remained faithful to Christ. Jesus encourages them not to fear the impending persecution, which would include imprisonment and testing for "ten days" (Rev. 2:10). This may refer to a specific period of intense persecution or symbolize a limited time of trial. ¶Christ exhorts the church to remain faithful even unto death, promising them the "crown of life" as a reward for their steadfast endurance (Rev. 2:10). He also assures them that those who overcome will not be harmed by the "second death," which is eternal separation from God (Rev. 2:11). ¶Smyrna was known for its beauty, commerce, and loyalty to Rome. It had a large Jewish population, which may have contributed to the persecution faced by the early Christian church there. The city was also a center of emperor worship, which likely created additional pressure for Christians who refused to participate in these pagan rituals. ¶The message to the church of Smyrna serves as an encouragement to all believers who face persecution and hardship for their faith. It reminds them that their ultimate loyalty is to Christ and that eternal life awaits those who remain faithful to Him. $========== PLACE Socoh@Jos.15.35-2Ch=H7755G Socoh_1 https://www.google.com/maps/@31.68123465358001,34.97639817516712,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.68123465358001,34.97639817516712 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.15.35;

It is mentioned several times in the Bible, most notably in connection with the famous battle between David and Goliath. ¶In the account of David's confrontation with Goliath, the Philistines gathered their forces for war at Socoh, while the Israelites camped in the Valley of Elah (1 Sam. 17:1). It was in this valley that David, armed only with a sling and five smooth stones, defeated the giant Goliath, leading to a great victory for Israel (1 Sam. 17:40-54). ¶During the reign of King Solomon, Socoh was included in the district overseen by Ben-hesed, one of the twelve officers responsible for providing food for the king and his household (1 Ki. 4:10). ¶Later, when Rehoboam, Solomon's son, became king, he fortified Socoh as part of his efforts to strengthen the defenses of Judah (2 Chr. 11:7). However, during the reign of King Ahaz, Socoh was among the towns captured by the Philistines (2 Chr. 28:18). ¶The exact location of Socoh is uncertain, but it is believed to be either Khirbet Abbad or Khirbet Shuweikeh, both located in the Shephelah region. $========== PLACE Socoh@Jos.15.48=H7755H Socoh_2= near Debir_1 (Debir@Jos.10.38-1Ch=H1688A) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.41666959977098,34.96667012280085,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.41666959977098,34.96667012280085 > #A location near Debir only mentioned at Jos.15.48;

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 (2 Sam. 8:5-6; 1 Chr. 18:5-6). However, in later years, Syrian kings often posed a threat to Israel and Judah, forming alliances against them (1 Kgs. 15:18-20; 2 Kgs. 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.

It was known for its ships, which were used in long-distance trade (1 Kgs. 10:22; 2 Chr. 9:21). The "ships of Tarshish" became a symbol of wealth and commercial power (Isa. 2:16; 23:1, 14; 60:9; Ezek. 27:25). Tarshish was a source of silver, iron, tin, and lead (Jer. 10:9; Ezek. 27:12). It was also associated with other distant and exotic locations, such as Sheba and Seba (Ps. 72:10).

In the book of Jonah, the prophet attempts to flee from God's presence by sailing to Tarshish, emphasizing its distance from Israel (Jonah 1:3). The wealth and splendor of Tarshish are used as a metaphor for God's judgment (Isa. 23:6, 10; Ezek. 38:13).

It is first mentioned as the birthplace of Ira, one of David's mighty men (2 Sam. 23:26; 1 Chr. 11:28). Tekoa was also the hometown of the wise woman who, at Joab's request, persuaded David to reconcile with his son Absalom (2 Sam. 14:2-9). During the reign of Rehoboam, Tekoa was fortified as part of Judah's defense system (2 Chr. 11:6). The town was the birthplace of the prophet Amos, who identified himself as "one of the shepherds of Tekoa" (Amo.1.1). Amos's rural background and proximity to the wilderness shaped his prophetic message. In the time of Jehoshaphat, the people of Judah gathered in the wilderness of Tekoa to seek God's help against their enemies (2 Chr. 20:20). The town was also involved in the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls during the time of Nehemiah (Neh. 3:5, 27). Jeremiah mentioned Tekoa in his prophecy, urging the people to flee and sound the trumpet of warning (Jer. 6:1). $========== PLACE Tel-abib@Ezk.3.15=H8512 Tel-abib= near Calneh (Calneh@Gen.10.10-Amo=H3641A) https://www.google.com/maps/@32.127213,45.229995,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.127213,45.229995 > #A location near Calneh only mentioned at Ezk.3.15;

It is mentioned in Ezk.3.15 as the place where the prophet Ezekiel lived among the exiles. The name "Tel-abib" means "mound of the flood" or "mound of the storm," possibly referring to the site's topography or its proximity to the river. Ezekiel received his prophetic visions and messages while residing in Tel-abib (Ezek. 1:1; 3:22-23). The Chebar River, near which Tel-abib was situated, was a major waterway in Babylonia, and several other Jewish settlements were located along its banks. The exiles in Tel-abib were among those deported from Judah by the Babylonians in the early 6th century BC.

The Amalekites were a nomadic people who had attacked the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings (Exod. 17:8-16). God had instructed Saul to completely destroy the Amalekites and their possessions (1 Sam. 15:1-3). Saul assembled an army of 200,000 men from Israel and 10,000 men from Judah at Telaim. The exact location of Telaim is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the southern part of Judah, near the region inhabited by the Amalekites. After gathering his forces at Telaim, Saul proceeded to attack and defeat the Amalekites, but he disobeyed God's command by sparing their king, Agag, and some of the best livestock. This act of disobedience led to God's rejection of Saul as king (1 Sam. 15:10-23). $========== PLACE Telassar@2Ki.19.12-Isa=H8515 Telassar= near Susa (Susa@Ezr.4.9-Dan=H7800) https://www.google.com/maps/@32.18919123705116,48.25788647687722,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.18919123705116,48.25788647687722 > #A location near Susa first mentioned at 2Ki.19.12;

The context is a message sent by King Sennacherib of Assyria to King Hezekiah of Judah, boasting about the Assyrian victories over various cities and nations. Sennacherib mocks the gods of these conquered lands, including the gods of Telassar, claiming that they were unable to deliver their people from his hand. The exact location of Telassar is uncertain, but it is believed to have been situated in Mesopotamia, possibly in the region of the Tigris or Euphrates rivers. The name "Telassar" may be derived from the Akkadian language, meaning "mound of Asshur" or "hill of Asshur," referring to the Assyrian deity. The mention of Telassar alongside other conquered cities serves to emphasize the extent of Assyrian power and their disregard for the gods of other nations. $========== PLACE Telem@Jos.15.24=H2928G Telem= near Beersheba (Beersheba@Gen.21.14-Amo=H0884) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.244952,34.840888,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.244952,34.840888 > #A location near Beersheba only mentioned at Jos.15.24;

It was situated near the junction of the Appian Way and a side road leading to Antium (modern-day Anzio). The name "Three Taverns" suggests that it served as a rest stop and a place of lodging for travelers. When the apostle Paul was being escorted to Rome as a prisoner, some Christians from Rome journeyed to meet him at Three Taverns and the Forum of Appius (Act.28.15). This gesture of support and fellowship likely encouraged Paul as he faced an uncertain future in the imperial capital. The fact that the Roman Christians were willing to travel a considerable distance to meet Paul testifies to his reputation and the esteem in which he was held by the early church. $========== PLACE Thyatira@Act.16.14-Rev=G2363 Thyatira https://www.google.com/maps/@38.92579128786831,27.85655574592795,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@38.92579128786831,27.85655574592795 > #A location first mentioned at Act.16.14;

It was known for its thriving dyeing industry, particularly in the production of purple cloth. Lydia, a seller of purple goods and a worshiper of God, was from Thyatira. She encountered the apostle Paul in Philippi and became a convert to Christianity (Act.16.14-15). Thyatira is also mentioned as one of the seven churches addressed in the Book of Revelation (Rev. 1:11). In the letter to the church in Thyatira, the risen Christ commends the believers for their love, faith, service, and patient endurance (Rev. 2:18-19). However, he also rebukes them for tolerating a false prophetess, symbolically referred to as "Jezebel," who promoted sexual immorality and idolatry (Rev. 2:20-23). The faithful in Thyatira are encouraged to hold fast until Christ's return, with the promise of authority over the nations for those who overcome (Rev. 2:24-28). $========== PLACE Tibhath@1Ch.18.8=H2880 Tibhath= near Berothah (Berothah@2Sa.8.8-Ezk=H1268A) https://www.google.com/maps/@33.931480,36.152049,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.931480,36.152049 > #A location near Berothah only mentioned at 1Ch.18.8;

The bronze was later used by Solomon in the construction of the Temple, specifically for making the bronze Sea, the pillars, and various bronze articles (1 Chr. 18:8). The parallel passage in 2Sa.8.8 refers to the city as "Betah." The exact location of Tibhath is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the region of Zobah, a kingdom to the north of Israel, in the area of modern-day Syria.

It is described as flowing from Eden, along with the Euphrates, Pishon, and Gihon. The Tigris and Euphrates are the two major rivers of Mesopotamia, and their identification is certain. In the Book of Daniel, the Tigris River is mentioned as the location where Daniel received a vision (Dan. 10:4). Daniel, who had been exiled to Babylon, was standing on the bank of the Tigris when he saw a man dressed in linen and heard a message concerning future events. The Tigris River originates in the mountains of eastern Turkey and flows through Iraq before joining the Euphrates to form the Shatt al-Arab, which empties into the Persian Gulf. The river was important for ancient civilizations such as the Assyrians and Babylonians, providing water for irrigation and serving as a major transportation route. $========== PLACE Timnah@Gen.38.12-2Ch=H8553G Timnah_1 https://www.google.com/maps/@31.784368,34.909680,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.784368,34.909680 Philistia #A location in Philistia first mentioned at Gen.38.12;

It is first mentioned in the story of Judah and Tamar, where Judah's son Er was married to Tamar (Gen. 38:12-14). Later, during the conquest of Canaan, Timnah was allocated to the tribe of Dan (Josh. 19:43) but was also mentioned as part of Judah's territory (Josh. 15:10). In the time of the judges, Samson went down to Timnah and fell in love with a Philistine woman, whom he desired to marry (Judg. 14:1-5). The city was later captured by the Philistines during the reign of King Ahaz of Judah (2 Chr. 28:18). Timnah was situated in the Sorek Valley, known for its fertile land and strategic location on trade routes. ¶The Timnites are mentioned in Judges 15:6 as the people of the Philistine city of Timnah. Samson, one of the judges of Israel, had married a Philistine woman from Timnah. However, during the wedding feast, Samson posed a riddle to the Philistine guests, which they could not solve. They threatened Samson's wife to reveal the answer, which she did. In anger, Samson killed thirty Philistine men and left his wife. Later, when Samson attempted to visit his wife, he discovered that her father had given her to another man. In revenge, Samson burned the Philistines' fields, vineyards, and olive groves. The Timnites retaliated by burning Samson's wife and her father to death. This escalated the conflict between Samson and the Philistines. $========== PLACE Timnah@Jos.15.57=H8553H Timnah_2 https://www.google.com/maps/@31.699323,35.040359,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.699323,35.040359 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.15.57;

The city was located on the western bank of the Euphrates River, in the region of northern Syria or southern Turkey. Its inclusion in the description of Solomon's realm demonstrates the vast extent of his dominion and influence during the height of his reign. Tiphsah's strategic position on the Euphrates made it an important trade and military center, allowing Solomon to control the major trade routes between Mesopotamia and the Levant.

The biblical text records that Menahem attacked Tiphsah and its surrounding territory, brutally conquering the city and ripping open the pregnant women.

The exact location of Tophel is uncertain, but it is described as being in the wilderness, in the Arabah, opposite Suph, between Paran, Laban, Hazeroth, and Di-zahab. Some scholars suggest that Tophel may be identified with modern-day et-Tafeleh, a village located about 15 miles southeast of the Dead Sea, on the caravan route between Petra and Kerak.

The name "Topheth" is believed to derive from the Hebrew word for "fireplace" or "hearth," indicating its association with burning. The Valley of Hinnom was used as a burial ground (Jer.19.11) and a place of idolatrous worship, where people burned their children as offerings to the Canaanite god Molech (2Ch.28.3; 33:6). King Josiah defiled Topheth to put an end to these practices (2Ki.23.10). The valley became a symbol of divine judgment and a metaphor for hell (Isa.30.33). In the New Testament, the Greek word "Gehenna," derived from "Valley of Hinnom," is used to refer to the place of eternal punishment (Matt 5:22, 29, 30; 10:28; 18:9; 23:15, 33; Mrk.9.43, 45, 47; Luke 12:5; Jas.3.6). $========== PLACE Tower_of_Eder@Gen.35.21-Mic=H4029 Eder_1= in Bethlehem_1 (Bethlehem@Gen.35.16-Jhn=H1035G) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.70536129174666,35.21026630105202,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.70536129174666,35.21026630105202 > #A location in Bethlehem first mentioned at Gen.35.21;

In Genesis 35:21, it is recorded that Israel (or 'Jacob') pitched his tent beyond the Tower of Eder after the death of his wife, Rachel. The tower was likely a watchtower used by shepherds to guard their flocks near Bethlehem. In Micah 4:8, the prophet addresses the Tower of the Flock, associating it with the coming of the Messiah and the restoration of the kingdom to Jerusalem. This passage has led some interpreters to view the Tower of Eder as a prophetic symbol of the birthplace of the Messiah, linking it to the fields near Bethlehem where the shepherds received the announcement of Jesus' birth (Luke 2:8-20). However, the exact location of the tower and its significance in Messianic prophecy remain a matter of interpretation. $========== PLACE Tower_of_Hananel@Neh.3.1-Zec=H2606 Tower of Hananel= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem first mentioned at Neh.3.1;

In Nehemiah 3:1 and 12:39, it is recorded that the tower was rebuilt by the high priest Eliashib and his fellow priests during the reconstruction of Jerusalem's walls in the time of Nehemiah. The tower was likely situated on the northern side of the city, near the Sheep Gate and the Fish Gate. The prophets Jeremiah and Zechariah also mention the Tower of Hananel in their visions of Jerusalem's future restoration and expansion (Jer. 31:38; Zech. 14:10). In these prophetic passages, the tower serves as a boundary marker, indicating the extent of the city's rebuilding and the scope of God's blessing upon Jerusalem. The Tower of Hananel thus stands as a symbol of Jerusalem's strength, security, and future hope in the prophetic literature. $========== PLACE Tower_of_the_Hundred@Neh.3.1-=H4026H Tower of the Hundred= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem first mentioned at Neh.3.1;

The tower is mentioned again in Nehemiah 12:39, where it is listed among the landmarks along the route of the dedication procession for the newly rebuilt walls. The exact location of the Tower of the Hundred is not specified, but it was likely situated on the northern side of Jerusalem, in close proximity to the Tower of Hananel and the Sheep Gate.

The tower is mentioned again in Nehemiah 12:38, where it is listed among the landmarks along the route of the dedication procession for the newly rebuilt walls. The exact location of the Tower of the Ovens is not specified, but it was likely situated on the western side of Jerusalem, possibly near the Valley Gate. The name "Tower of the Ovens" suggests that the tower may have been associated with baking or cooking facilities, perhaps serving as a place where the temple bread was prepared or where the city's inhabitants baked their bread. $========== PLACE Trachonitis@Luk.3.1=G5139 Trachonitis https://www.google.com/maps/@32.833333,36.5,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.833333,36.5 > #A location only mentioned at Luk.3.1;

The name "Trachonitis" is derived from the Greek word "trachon," meaning "a rugged or stony place." In the New Testament, Trachonitis is mentioned only once, in Luke 3:1, where it is described as part of the tetrarchy of Philip, along with Ituraea, during the time of John the Baptist's ministry. The region was known for its caves, which were often used as hideouts by robbers. Herod the Great had previously routed out these robbers to maintain order in the area. After Philip's death, Trachonitis was briefly annexed to the province of Syria before being given to Agrippa I by Caligula. The exact boundaries of Trachonitis are not clearly defined in the Bible, but it is generally associated with the modern-day Leja' region in southern Syria. $========== PLACE Travelers_Valley@Ezk.39.11=H1516O Valley of the Travelers= near Dibon_1 (Diblathaim@Num.33.46-Jer=H5963) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.49684513710609,35.78284105296996,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.49684513710609,35.78284105296996 > #A location near Diblathaim only mentioned at Ezk.39.11;

According to the prophecy, after God defeats Gog and his forces, the Israelites will bury them in the Valley of the Travelers, east of the Dead Sea. The burial of Gog's army will be so extensive that it will block the path of travelers passing through the valley, hence its name. The exact location of this valley is not specified, but it is described as being east of the sea, likely referring to the Dead Sea. The burial of Gog's army in the Valley of the Travelers serves as a symbol of God's judgment against those who oppose Him and His people, and it will take seven months for the Israelites to cleanse the land by burying the dead (Ezek. 39:12-16). $========== PLACE Troas@Act.16.8-2Ti=G5174 Troas https://www.google.com/maps/@39.50664305923271,26.08059270470616,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@39.50664305923271,26.08059270470616 > #A location first mentioned at Act.16.8;

The city was an important seaport and a significant center for trade and commerce. In the New Testament, Troas is mentioned several times in connection with the apostle Paul's missionary journeys. During his second missionary journey, Paul received a vision of a man from Macedonia pleading with him to come and help them while he was in Troas (Act.16.8-10). This vision prompted Paul and his companions to sail from Troas to Macedonia, marking a significant expansion of the gospel into Europe. Later, during his third missionary journey, Paul spent a week in Troas, where he preached late into the night (Act.20.5-12). During this visit, a young man named Eutychus fell asleep and fell from a window, but Paul raised him back to life. Paul also visited Troas on other occasions (2 Cor. 2:12; 2 Tim. 4:13), indicating the city's importance as a strategic location for his ministry. $========== PLACE Trogyllium@Act.20.15=G5175 https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 > #A location only mentioned at Act.20.15;

They then sailed past Mitylene and arrived at Chios. The following day, they crossed over to Samos and stayed at Trogyllium. The next day, they reached Miletus, where Paul summoned the elders of the Ephesian church to give them a farewell address (Act.20.17-38).

The Tubal people are associated with the Meshech people, and together they are known for their trading activities, particularly in slaves and bronze (Ezek. 27:13). In the prophecy of Ezekiel, Tubal is mentioned along with Meshech as one of the nations allied with Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal (Ezek. 38:2-3; 39:1). Gog and his allies, including Tubal, are prophesied to attack Israel in the latter days but will ultimately be defeated by God. The exact location of Tubal is uncertain, but it is generally associated with the region of eastern Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) and the southern Caucasus. Some scholars identify Tubal with the Tabali, a people group mentioned in Assyrian inscriptions.

The city is first mentioned in the Bible as part of the boundary of the tribe of Asher (Josh. 19:29). Tyre's king, Hiram, provided cedar, cypress timber, and skilled workers to David for his palace (2 Sam. 5:11; 1 Chr. 14:1) and to Solomon for the construction of the Temple (1 Kgs. 5:1; 9:11-12; 2 Chr. 2:3-16). Despite this friendly relationship, Tyre is often denounced by the prophets for its pride, idolatry, and oppression of God's people (Isa. 23; Jer. 25:22; 27:3; 47:4; Ezek. 26-28; Amo.1.9-10). Ezekiel prophesied the destruction of Tyre by Nebuchadnezzar (Ezek. 26) and its eventual restoration and dedication of its wealth to God (Isa. 23:17-18). In the New Testament, Jesus visited the region of Tyre and Sidon and performed miracles there (Matt. 15:21; Mrk.7.24-31). He also used Tyre and Sidon as examples of cities that would have repented if they had witnessed the miracles performed in Chorazin and Bethsaida (Matt. 11:21-22; Luke 10:13-14). The apostle Paul visited Tyre during his missionary journeys (Act.21.3-7). Throughout the Bible, Tyre is portrayed as a symbol of wealth, trade, and worldly influence, often contrasted with the values of God's kingdom. $========== PLACE Ulai@Dan.8.2-=H0195 Ulai https://www.google.com/maps/@32.178696,48.224890,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.178696,48.224890 > #A location first mentioned at Dan.8.2;

In Daniel's vision, he finds himself beside the Ulai Canal, where he sees a ram with two horns standing beside the river (Dan. 8:3). The ram is later interpreted as representing the kings of Media and Persia (Dan. 8:20). As the vision continues, Daniel sees a male goat coming from the west, which defeats the ram (Dan. 8:5-7). The goat is interpreted as the king of Greece (Dan. 8:21). The Ulai River is mentioned again when the angel Gabriel approaches Daniel to explain the vision (Dan. 8:16). The river's location in Elam, combined with the mention of Susa, suggests that the Ulai may be associated with the ancient city of Susa, which served as one of the capitals of the Persian Empire. The Ulai River is thus connected with important prophetic visions in the Book of Daniel, which foretell the rise and fall of major world empires and their impact on God's people. $========== PLACE Ummah@Jos.19.30=H5981 Ummah https://www.google.com/maps/@33.104377,35.180623,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.104377,35.180623 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.19.30;

The exact location of Ummah is uncertain, but it is listed alongside other towns in the western portion of Asher's territory, such as Aphek and Rehob.

In Jeremiah 10:9, the prophet describes the idols of the nations as being adorned with gold from Uphaz and silver from Tarshish, emphasizing the precious materials used in their construction. In Dan.10.5, the prophet Daniel has a vision of a man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold from Uphaz. The use of gold from Uphaz in both passages suggests that it was highly valued and associated with wealth and luxury. The exact location of Uphaz is uncertain, and some scholars believe it may be a variant spelling or a copyist's error for Ophir, another region famous for its gold in the Bible (1 Kgs. 9:28; 10:11; 22:48; 1 Chr. 29:4; 2 Chr. 8:18; 9:10; Job.22.24; 28:16; Ps. 45:9; Isa. 13:12). However, others maintain that Uphaz was a distinct place, possibly located in the Arabian Peninsula or the Near East, known for its high-quality gold. Regardless of its exact location, the mention of Uphaz in the Bible underscores the importance and value placed on gold in ancient Near Eastern cultures. $========== PLACE Ur@Gen.11.28-Neh=H0218B Ur https://www.google.com/maps/@30.9620520474569,46.10374195774169,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.9620520474569,46.10374195774169 > #A location first mentioned at Gen.11.28;

It is best known as the hometown of Abraham, the patriarch of the Israelites. According to Genesis, Abraham (then called Abram) lived in Ur with his father Terah, his wife Sarai, and his nephew Lot (Gen. 11:28-31). God called Abraham to leave Ur and go to the land of Canaan, promising to make him a great nation and a blessing to all the families of the earth (Gen. 12:1-3). Abraham obeyed and set out from Ur, traveling first to Haran and then to Canaan (Gen. 11:31; 12:4-5). Later, when God confirms His covenant with Abraham, He reminds him that He brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give him the land of Canaan (Gen. 15:7). The city of Ur is also mentioned in Nehemiah 9:7, where the Levites recount God's faithfulness in bringing Abraham out of Ur and making a covenant with him. Archaeologists have identified the ancient city of Ur with modern-day Tell el-Muqayyar in southern Iraq, which was once a thriving center of Sumerian civilization. The biblical account of Abraham's origins in Ur highlights God's sovereign plan in calling and guiding His chosen people from the very beginning. $========== PLACE Uz@Job.1.1-Lam=H5780J Uz Uz@Gen.36.28-1Ch https://www.google.com/maps/@30.0334,36.44839,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@30.0334,36.44839 Edom #A location in Edom first mentioned at Job.1.1;

The exact location of Uz is uncertain, but it is believed to be situated east of the land of Israel and Edom, possibly in northern Arabia or southern Jordan. Job's story describes Uz as a place near the desert (Job.1.19) but also fertile for farming and raising livestock (Job.1.3, 14; 42:12). The people of Uz are referred to as "the people of the East" (Job.1.3), and the land was vulnerable to Chaldean raiding parties (Job.1.17). Uz is also mentioned in Jeremiah 25:20 among the nations that will drink the cup of God's wrath, and in Lamentations 4:21, where Edom is addressed as dwelling in the land of Uz. Some scholars propose that Uz may be a fictional place serving the story of Job rather than a physical land, with the name "Uz" in Hebrew meaning "counsel" or "advice." $========== PLACE Uzal@Ezk.27.19=H0187H Uzal Uzal@Gen.10.27-1Ch https://www.google.com/maps/@15.354879,44.215092,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@15.354879,44.215092 > #A location only mentioned at Ezk.27.19;

In this passage, Ezekiel lists various nations and regions that traded with Tyre, including Dan, Javan, and Uzal. The verse states that these places traded "wrought iron, cassia, and calamus" in Tyre's marketplace. The exact location of Uzal is uncertain, but some scholars believe it may refer to a region in Arabia, possibly associated with the ancient city of Sanaa in modern-day Yemen. Other interpretations suggest that Uzal could be a reference to a type of high-quality sword or blade, rather than a geographical location. The mention of Uzal in Ezekiel's prophecy highlights the extensive trade network of Tyre and the various commodities exchanged in the ancient Near East. $========== PLACE Uzza@2Ki.21.18-=H1588G garden of Uzza= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem first mentioned at 2Ki.21.18;

Manasseh, who reigned for 55 years, was known for his wickedness and idolatry, leading the people of Judah astray (2 Kgs. 21:1-9). However, after being captured by the Assyrians, Manasseh repented and sought the Lord (2 Chr. 33:10-13). Upon his return to Jerusalem, he attempted to undo some of the damage caused by his earlier actions (2 Chr. 33:14-16). After Manasseh's death, he was buried in his own house, in the garden of Uzza (2 Kgs. 21:18). Amon, Manasseh's son, succeeded him as king but continued in the evil ways of his father's earlier reign. After ruling for only two years, Amon was assassinated by his servants and was also buried in the garden of Uzza (2 Kgs. 21:19-26). The exact location of the garden of Uzza is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely a royal garden or burial ground near the king's palace in Jerusalem. $========== PLACE Uzzen-sheerah@1Ch.7.24=H0242 Uzzen-sheerah https://www.google.com/maps/@31.887821,35.045649,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.887821,35.045649 > #A location only mentioned at 1Ch.7.24;

The passage states that Sheerah built the towns of Upper and Lower Beth-horon, as well as Uzzen-sheerah. This information is provided in the context of the genealogy of the tribe of Ephraim, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name "Uzzen-sheerah" likely means "the ear of Sheerah," possibly referring to a geographical feature or a place named in honor of Sheerah. The exact location of Uzzen-sheerah is not specified in the Bible, but it was probably situated in the territory allocated to the tribe of Ephraim, in the central region of Canaan. The mention of Sheerah as the builder of these towns is notable, as it is unusual for women to be credited with such accomplishments in the biblical record.

In 2Ch.26.9, it is recorded that King Uzziah of Judah built towers at the Corner Gate, the Valley Gate, and the angle of the wall, strengthening Jerusalem's defenses. The Valley Gate is also prominently mentioned in the book of Nehemiah, which describes the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls after the Babylonian exile. Nehemiah inspected the Valley Gate during his nighttime survey of the city's damaged walls (Neh. 2:13, 15). Later, during the rebuilding process, Hanun and the inhabitants of Zanoah repaired the Valley Gate, including its doors, bolts, and bars (Neh. 3:13). The exact location of the Valley Gate is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated on the western side of Jerusalem, leading to the Hinnom Valley. The Valley Gate's mention in both historical and post-exilic accounts highlights its importance in the defense and security of Jerusalem throughout different periods of the city's history. $========== PLACE Vedan@Ezk.27.19=H2051 Vedan https://www.google.com/maps/@0,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@0 > #A location only mentioned at Ezk.27.19;

Some scholars suggest that Vedan may be a reference to Dedan, which is mentioned separately in the following verse. Others propose that Vedan could be identified with Waddan, also known as al-'Abwa', a location between Mecca and Medina. However, these identifications remain speculative due to the lack of clear evidence. The mention of Vedan in Ezekiel's prophecy highlights the extensive trade network of Tyre and the various places that engaged in commerce with the city. $========== PLACE Waheb@Num.21.14=H2052 Waheb= near Red Sea (Red_Sea@Exo.10.19-Heb=H5488G) https://www.google.com/maps/@27.088473,34.771729,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@27.088473,34.771729 > #A location near Red Sea only mentioned at Num.21.14;

The verse is part of a quotation from the "Book of the Wars of the Lord," an ancient source that is no longer extant. The passage reads, "Waheb in Suphah, and the valleys of the Arnon." The exact location of Waheb is unknown, but it is mentioned alongside the valleys of the Arnon, suggesting that it may have been situated in the region of Moab, east of the Dead Sea. Some scholars propose that "Waheb" may not be a place name but rather a verb meaning "to give" or "to destroy." However, the lack of additional context makes it difficult to determine the precise meaning of the term. The reference to Waheb in the Book of Numbers provides a glimpse into the geographical and historical details of Israel's wilderness journey, even though the exact nature of the place remains uncertain. $========== PLACE Washer's_Field@2Ki.18.17-Isa=H3526G Washer's Field= near Valley of Hinnom (Hinnom_Valley@Jos.15.8-Jer=H8612) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.769079,35.227994,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.769079,35.227994 > #A location near Hinnom Valley first mentioned at 2Ki.18.17;

In 2Ki.18.17 and Isaiah 36:2, it is recorded that the Assyrian king Sennacherib sent his officials, the Tartan, the Rabsaris, and the Rabshakeh, to deliver a message to King Hezekiah of Judah. They stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the highway to the Washer's Field, and called for the king. The Washer's Field was likely an area outside the city walls where launderers washed and dried clothes, taking advantage of the water supply from the nearby pool. The prophet Isaiah also mentions the Washer's Field in an earlier prophecy (Isa. 7:3), where God instructs him to meet King Ahaz at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway to the Washer's Field, to deliver a message of reassurance concerning the impending Assyrian threat. The Washer's Field's location near the city walls and its association with important prophetic messages and diplomatic encounters highlight its significance in the biblical narrative. $========== PLACE Water_Gate@Neh.3.26-=H4325H Water Gate= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem first mentioned at Neh.3.26;

During the reconstruction of Jerusalem's walls, the Nethinim (temple servants) and the merchants made repairs on the wall as far as the Water Gate (Neh. 3:26). Later, when Ezra the scribe read the Book of the Law to the people, he did so in the square before the Water Gate (Neh. 8:1, 3). The people listened attentively and responded with worship and repentance. During the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles, the people gathered at the Water Gate to hear the Law read and to celebrate the feast (Neh. 8:16). The Water Gate is also mentioned in the description of the dedication of the rebuilt wall, where two choirs proceeded along the wall in opposite directions, with one group going past the Water Gate (Neh. 12:37). The exact location of the Water Gate is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated on the eastern side of Jerusalem, near the Gihon Spring, which provided a vital water source for the city. The Water Gate's association with the reading of the Law and the celebration of the Feast of Tabernacles emphasizes its importance as a place of spiritual renewal and community gathering in post-exilic Jerusalem. $========== PLACE Way_of_Holiness@Isa.35.8=H1870H Way of Holiness= near Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location near Jerusalem only mentioned at Isa.35.8;

The verse reads, "A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray." This highway is depicted as a place of safety and purity, accessible only to those who are righteous and redeemed. It is a path that leads to Zion, symbolizing the journey of God's people to His presence and blessing. The Way of Holiness is part of a broader prophetic vision in Isaiah 35, which describes the restoration and transformation of creation, the healing of the blind, deaf, lame, and mute, and the joy of the redeemed as they return to Zion (Isa. 35:1-10). This vision points to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises and the establishment of His kingdom, where holiness and righteousness will prevail. The Way of Holiness represents the path of faith, obedience, and trust in God, which leads to eternal life and fellowship with Him. $========== PLACE Wildgoats_Rocks@1Sa.24.2=H3277G Wildgoats' Rocks= near Engedi (Engedi@Gen.14.7-Ezk=H5872) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.46152536164766,35.39241108242345,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.46152536164766,35.39241108242345 > #A location near Engedi only mentioned at 1Sa.24.2;

The area is described as being near En Gedi, a lush oasis on the western shore of the Dead Sea. Saul, having returned from pursuing the Philistines, took 3,000 chosen men to search for David and his men in the Wildgoats Rocks region. While Saul was in a cave relieving himself, David had the opportunity to cut off a corner of the king's robe, demonstrating his loyalty and respect for Saul as the Lord's anointed. The rugged terrain of Wildgoats Rocks provided numerous hiding places for David and his men, making it difficult for Saul to locate them. The name "Wildgoats Rocks" likely refers to the rugged, steep cliffs in the area, which are suitable habitats for wild goats. This incident in the Wildgoats Rocks demonstrates David's integrity and faith in God's plan for his life, as he refused to harm Saul, even when presented with the opportunity. $========== PLACE Yeshanah_Gate@Neh.3.6-=H3465G Gate of Yeshanah= in Jerusalem (Jerusalem@Gen.14.18-Rev=H3389) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.777444,35.234935,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.777444,35.234935 > #A location in Jerusalem first mentioned at Neh.3.6;

During the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls, Jehoiada, the son of Paseah, and Meshullam, the son of Besodeiah, repaired the Yeshanah Gate (Neh. 3:6). They laid its beams and hung its doors with its bolts and bars. The Yeshanah Gate is also mentioned in Nehemiah 12:39, where it is listed among the gates and landmarks along the route of the dedication procession for the rebuilt walls. The exact location of the Yeshanah Gate is not specified in the Bible, but it was likely situated on the northern side of Jerusalem. The name "Yeshanah" means "old" in Hebrew, suggesting that this gate may have been one of the older entrances to the city or that it led to an older part of Jerusalem. The restoration of the Yeshanah Gate, along with the other gates and walls, was a significant part of Nehemiah's efforts to strengthen and secure Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. $========== PLACE Yiron@Jos.19.38=H3375 Yiron https://www.google.com/maps/@33.088748,35.414111,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.088748,35.414111 > #A location only mentioned at Jos.19.38;

The prophet Micah declares, "Pass by in naked shame, you inhabitant of Shaphir; the inhabitant of Zaanan does not go out. Beth Ezel mourns; its place to stand is taken away from you." The exact location of Zaanan is uncertain, but based on the context of Micah's prophecy, it was likely situated in the Shephelah, the lowland region between the coastal plain and the Judean hills. The name "Zaanan" is derived from the Hebrew word meaning "to go out" or "to come forth," which may be a wordplay on the town's failure to come to the aid of its neighbors during a time of crisis. Micah's prophecy against Zaanan and the other towns in the region underscores the judgment and consequences that would come upon Judah for their unfaithfulness to God and their lack of justice and righteousness. $========== PLACE Zaanannim@Jos.19.33-Jdg=H6815 Zaanannim= near Kedesh_1 (Kedesh@Jos.12.22-1Ch=H6943G) https://www.google.com/maps/@33.11298357486105,35.53361334150225,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@33.11298357486105,35.53361334150225 > #A location near Kedesh first mentioned at Jos.19.33;

In Joshua 19:33, Zaanannim is described as being near Kedesh, a city in the territory of Naphtali, in the northern part of Canaan. The verse mentions Zaanannim as part of the boundary description for the allotment of land to the tribe of Naphtali. In Judges 4:11, Zaanannim is associated with the Kenites, a nomadic tribe that was friendly to the Israelites. The verse states that Heber the Kenite, of the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, had separated himself from the Kenites and pitched his tent near the terebinth tree at Zaanannim. This reference to Zaanannim occurs in the context of the story of Deborah and Barak, who led the Israelites in a battle against Sisera, the commander of King Jabin's army. Heber's wife, Jael, would later kill Sisera by driving a tent peg through his temple as he slept (Judg. 4:17-22). The exact location of Zaanannim is not certain, but its association with Kedesh and the Kenites suggests that it was situated in the northern region of Israel, near the border with Syria. $========== PLACE Zalmonah@Num.33.41-=H6758 Zalmonah= near Dibon_1 (Diblathaim@Num.33.46-Jer=H5963) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.49684513710609,35.78284105296996,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.49684513710609,35.78284105296996 > #A location near Diblathaim first mentioned at Num.33.41;

First, it is the name of a city allotted to the tribe of Gad in the division of the Promised Land (Josh. 13:27). This city was located in the Jordan Valley, near the Sea of Chinnereth (Galilee). Second, Zaphon is used as a term for the north or the heavenly dwelling place of God. In Psalm 48:2, Mount Zion is described as being "in the far north," using the term "Zaphon" to emphasize its sacred status. In Isaiah 14:13, the king of Babylon is portrayed as aspiring to ascend to heaven and sit on the mount of assembly "in the far reaches of the north" (Zaphon), symbolizing his desire to usurp God's authority. The term "Zaphon" is also mentioned in Judges 12:1, where the Ephraimites gathered in Zaphon before confronting Jephthah.

The city is most notably mentioned in the Bible in connection with the prophet Elijah. During a severe famine, God directed Elijah to go to Zarephath, where he had commanded a widow to provide for him (1 Kgs. 17:9). Upon arriving at the city gate, Elijah met the widow and asked her for water and bread. Despite her limited resources, the widow shared her last meal with Elijah, and as a result, her flour and oil miraculously never ran out until the end of the famine (1 Kgs. 17:10-16). Later, when the widow's son fell ill and died, Elijah prayed to God and raised the boy back to life (1 Kgs. 17:17-24). In the New Testament, Jesus references Elijah's stay in Zarephath as an example of God's grace extending beyond Israel to the Gentiles (Luke 4:26). The city is also mentioned in the Book of Obadiah, where it is prophesied that the exiles of Israel will possess the land as far as Zarephath (Obad. 1:20). Zarephath's significance in the Bible lies in its connection to Elijah's ministry and its role in demonstrating God's power and provision. $========== PLACE Zarethan@Jos.3.16-2Ch=H6891 Zarethan https://www.google.com/maps/@32.267821,35.576613,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@32.267821,35.576613 > #A location first mentioned at Jos.3.16;

It is first mentioned in Joshua 3:16 as a location near Adam where the waters of the Jordan River were cut off, allowing the Israelites to cross on dry ground. Later, in the account of Gideon's pursuit of the Midianites, Zarethan is mentioned as a point of reference (Judg. 7:22). During the reign of Solomon, Zarethan is noted as the place where Hiram, a Phoenician craftsman, cast bronze implements for the Temple in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan (1 Kgs. 7:46; 2 Chr. 4:17). The city is also mentioned in 1Ki.4.12 to help locate Beth-Shean, which was in Solomon's fifth administrative district. Although the exact location of Zarethan is uncertain, it is believed to have been situated in the Jordan Valley, possibly on the west bank of the river. Some scholars propose identifying it with Tell el-Mazar (also known as Qerawa or Korea) near Mount Sartabe, while others suggest it may have been on the east bank. Regardless of its precise location, Zarethan played a role in significant events in Israel's history, from the miraculous crossing of the Jordan to the construction of Solomon's Temple. $========== PLACE Zeboiim@Gen.10.19-Hos=H6636 Zeboiim= near Admah (Admah@Gen.10.19-Hos=H0126) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.11942270162137,35.41253049195169,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.11942270162137,35.41253049195169 > #A location near Admah first mentioned at Gen.10.19;

It is first mentioned in Genesis 10:19 as part of the description of the territory of Canaan, extending from Sidon to Gaza and then eastward toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim. In Genesis 14, Zeboiim is listed among the cities that rebelled against Chedorlaomer, the king of Elam, and his allies after serving them for twelve years. The king of Zeboiim, along with the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Bela (Zoar), engaged in battle against Chedorlaomer and his allies in the Valley of Siddim but were defeated (Gen. 14:2, 8-10). Later, when God determined to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah for their wickedness, Zeboiim was also included in the destruction (Deut. 29:23). The prophet Hosea, in a message of judgment against Israel, refers to Zeboiim along with Admah as examples of God's punishment, emphasizing the severity of Israel's impending judgment (Hos. 11:8). The destruction of Zeboiim, along with the other cities of the plain, serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of persistent wickedness and disobedience to God. $========== PLACE Zeboim@Neh.11.34=H6650G Zeboim https://www.google.com/maps/@31.10182240291489,35.47633656511371,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.10182240291489,35.47633656511371 > #A location only mentioned at Neh.11.34;

This Zeboim is distinct from the ancient city of Zeboiim that was destroyed along with Sodom and Gomorrah. In the context of Nehemiah 11, the resettlement of towns and villages surrounding Jerusalem is described, with people from Judah and Benjamin inhabiting these places. Zeboim is listed among other towns such as Hadid, Neballat, Lod, and Ono, suggesting that it was located in the region of Judah, possibly in the Shephelah (lowlands) or the coastal plain. The mention of Zeboim in this passage highlights the efforts of the returning exiles to reestablish their presence in the land and rebuild their communities after the Babylonian captivity. However, no further details about this specific town are provided in the Bible. $========== PLACE Zeboim_Valley@1Sa.13.18=H6650H Valley of Zeboim https://www.google.com/maps/@31.936283,35.424836,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.936283,35.424836 > #A location only mentioned at 1Sa.13.18;

The passage describes three groups of raiders: one turned toward Ophrah in the land of Shual, another toward Beth-horon, and the third toward the border overlooking the Valley of Zeboim facing the wilderness. The exact location of the Valley of Zeboim is uncertain, but based on the context, it is believed to have been situated somewhere east of Michmash, possibly in the wilderness region near the Dead Sea. The name "Zeboim" may be related to the ancient city of Zeboiim, one of the cities of the plain destroyed along with Sodom and Gomorrah, although a direct connection is not certain. The mention of the Valley of Zeboim in this passage provides insight into the geography of the region and the military activities of the Philistines during Saul's reign, as they sought to assert their control over the territory of Israel. $========== PLACE Zedad@Num.34.8-Ezk=H6657 Zedad https://www.google.com/maps/@34.312571,36.925484,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@34.312571,36.925484 > #A location first mentioned at Num.34.8;

In Numbers 34:8, as part of the instructions given to Moses regarding the division of the land, Zedad is mentioned as a point on the northern border, following the entrance of Hamath. The border was to extend from Mount Hor to the entrance of Hamath and then to Zedad. In Ezekiel's vision of the restored land of Israel (Ezek. 47:15), Zedad is again mentioned as part of the northern border, along with the entrance of Hamath and Berothah. The exact location of Zedad is uncertain, but it is believed to have been situated in the region of Hamath, north of Damascus in modern-day Syria. Its mention in both the Mosaic and Ezekiel's descriptions of the land's boundaries highlights its significance as a geographical marker and its role in defining the extent of the Promised Land. The inclusion of Zedad in these passages emphasizes the importance of the land's boundaries and the precision with which they were defined in the biblical record. $========== PLACE Zela@Jos.18.28-2Sa=H6762 Zela= near Haeleph (Haeleph@Jos.18.28=H0507) https://www.google.com/maps/@31.792733,35.196862,14z https://palopenmaps.org/view/9999/@31.792733,35.196862 > #A location near Haeleph first mentioned at Jos.18.28;

Notably, Zela contained the ancestral tomb of Kish, the father of King Saul. After Saul and his sons were killed by the Philistines, David had their bones buried in this tomb at Zela (2Sa.21.14).

During the Israelites' wanderings in the wilderness, they attempted to enter Canaan from the south, but the king of Arad fought against them and took some prisoners. Israel vowed to totally destroy the Canaanite cities if God would give them victory. God granted their request, and the Israelites "utterly destroyed" the Canaanites and named the place Hormah, meaning "destruction" (Num.21.1-3). ¶However, Israel later refused to enter Canaan from Kadesh Barnea out of unbelief. When they then presumptuously tried to go up, the Amalekites and Canaanites defeated them as far as Hormah (Num.14.45; Dt.1:44). Much later, after Joshua's conquests, Judah and Simeon fought against Zephath, defeated it, and renamed it Hormah (Jdg.1.17). The city is subsequently listed among the towns in the Negev allotted to Judah and Simeon (Jos.15.30; 19:4; 1Ch.4.30).

It was from here that Moses sent spies to explore the land of Canaan (Num.13.21). Later, Moses and Aaron rebelled against God's command to speak to the rock to bring forth water, instead striking it twice (Num.27.14). As a result, they were not allowed to enter the Promised Land. The Wilderness of Zin formed part of the southern border of the land allotted to Judah (Jos.15.1,3). It marked the extreme southern limit of the Promised Land (Num.34.3-4). The Wilderness of Zin is also associated with Kadesh (Num.33.36), a significant site during Israel's wilderness journey.

During the reigns of Saul and David, the kings of Zobah were enemies of Israel (1Sa.14.47; 2Sa.8.3). David defeated Hadadezer, king of Zobah, and his Aramean allies (2Sa.8.5,12; 10:6,8; 1Ch.18.5,9; 19:6). One of David's mighty men, Igal, was from Zobah (2Sa.23.36). During Solomon's reign, Rezon of Zobah established himself as king in Damascus and became an adversary to Israel (1Ki.11.23). Solomon later conquered Hamath-zobah (2Ch.8.3).

As they were about to return home, Saul's servant suggested that they consult the prophet Samuel, who was in a nearby city, for guidance (1Sa.9.6). This led to Saul's anointing as the first king of Israel by Samuel.

However, through Esther's intervention, the king issued a new decree allowing the Jews to defend themselves, which they did on the thirteenth day of Adar (Est.8.12; 9:1). The Jews celebrated their victory over their enemies on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar, which became the feast of Purim (Est.9.17-19,21).

In 1Ch.15.20, the Levites are described as playing harps "on Alamoth," which suggests that it may refer to a specific pitch or tuning of the instrument. Some scholars propose that Alamoth could be related to the Hebrew word for "young women," indicating that the term might refer to a women's choir or a high vocal range.

The phrase "Alpha and Omega" occurs four times in the Book of Revelation (1:8, 1:11, 21:6, and 22:13), and in each instance, it is used to describe the eternal nature and supremacy of Jesus Christ. ¶In Revelation 1:8, God declares, "I am the Alpha and the Omega," indicating His eternal existence and His role as the beginning and the end of all things. This same title is applied to Jesus Christ in Revelation 1:11, where He states, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," affirming His divinity and equality with God the Father. ¶In Revelation 21:6, Jesus declares, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," as He promises to give freely from the spring of the water of life to those who thirst. This statement emphasizes Jesus' role as the source and sustainer of eternal life. ¶Finally, in Revelation 22:13, Jesus proclaims, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last," reaffirming His eternal nature and His sovereignty over all creation. ¶The use of the title "Alpha and Omega" for Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation underscores His divinity, His eternal existence, and His supreme authority.

In Jeremiah 46:25, Amon refers to the Egyptian god, who was one of the most important deities in ancient Egypt. Amon was often combined with the sun god Ra to form the deity Amon-Ra, the king of the gods. The prophecy in Jeremiah 46 foretells the punishment of Egypt and its gods, including Amon. ¶In Nam.3.8, Amon is mentioned as a city, which is most likely a reference to Thebes, the ancient capital of Egypt. Thebes was known as "No-Amon," meaning "the city of Amon," due to the prominence of the god Amon in the city.

They are listed among the officials who wrote a letter to King Darius I of Persia, questioning the legitimacy of the Jews' claim to rebuild the temple (Ezra 5:6). The letter aimed to halt the construction work, but ultimately, King Darius confirmed the Jews' right to rebuild the temple (Ezra 6:6-12). ¶The exact identity of the Apharsathchites is uncertain. Some scholars suggest that they may have been a group of Persian officials or governors stationed in the region. The name "Apharsathchites" might be related to the Persian word for "governor" or "envoy." Their opposition to the rebuilding of the temple likely stemmed from political and religious concerns, as the restoration of Jewish autonomy could have threatened their authority in the area. $========== OTHER Artemis@Act.19.24-=G0735 A female deity in the New Testament > #A female deity in the New Testament, first mentioned at Act.19.24;

According to Acts 19, her worship was widespread and economically significant in the city. Demetrius, a silversmith who crafted shrines of Artemis, stirred up opposition against Paul and his companions, fearing that the spread of Christianity would threaten his business and the goddess's reputation (Act.19.24-27). ¶The Ephesians held Artemis in high regard, proclaiming her as "great" and believing that her image had fallen from heaven (Act.19.27, 35). When Paul's preaching led to many Ephesians abandoning idol worship, Demetrius and his fellow craftsmen incited a riot in the city theater, chanting "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!" for about two hours (Act.19.28, 34). The city clerk eventually calmed the crowd, defending Paul and his companions and dismissing the assembly (Act.19.35-41). ¶The worship of Artemis in Ephesus demonstrates the challenges faced by early Christians as they sought to spread the gospel in a culture deeply rooted in pagan religious practices.

It would then be sent into the wilderness, symbolically carrying away the sins of the people (Leviticus 16:21-22). The person who led the goat into the wilderness was required to wash his clothes and bathe before returning to the camp (Leviticus 16:26). ¶The exact identity of Azazel is uncertain.

This deity is mentioned in the book of Judges in connection with the Israelites' idolatry and the rule of Abimelech, a son of Gideon. ¶After Gideon's death, the Israelites turned away from the Lord and began worshipping Baal-berith (Judges 8:33). Abimelech, seeking to establish his rule over Shechem, received silver from the temple of Baal-berith to hire worthless and reckless men to support him (Judges 9:4). Later, when the people of Shechem rebelled against Abimelech, they put their trust in the temple of El-berith (Judges 9:46). ¶The worship of Baal-berith/El-berith by the Israelites demonstrates their recurring tendency to stray from the Lord and embrace the idolatrous practices of the surrounding Canaanite culture. This unfaithfulness to the covenant with the Lord led to various conflicts and consequences throughout the period of the judges. ¶The name Baal-berith/El-berith suggests that this deity was associated with the concept of a covenant or agreement, possibly related to treaties or alliances between cities or nations.

The Israelites were repeatedly warned against worshipping Baal, as it was considered a violation of their covenant with the Lord (Judges 2:11, 13; 3:7; 10:6, 10; 1Sa.7.4; 12:10). However, many Israelites succumbed to Baal worship, often under the influence of foreign rulers or through intermarriage with Canaanites (Judges 8:33; 1Ki.16.31-32; 22:53; 2Ki.10.18-28; 17:16). ¶Several biblical accounts depict the conflict between Baal worship and devotion to the Lord. The prophet Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, demonstrating the power and supremacy of the Lord (1Ki.18.16-40). King Ahab and his wife Jezebel were notorious for promoting Baal worship in Israel (1Ki.16.31-32; 21:25-26). Later, King Jehu carried out a purge of Baal worshippers in Israel (2Ki.10.18-28). ¶The worship of Baal often involved the use of sacred pillars or poles, known as Asherah poles (Judges 6:25-32; 1Ki.16.32-33; 2Ki.21.3; 23:4-5). The prophets consistently condemned Baal worship, associating it with idolatry, child sacrifice, and spiritual unfaithfulness (Jeremiah 2:8, 23; 7:9; 11:13, 17; 19:5; 23:13, 27; 32:29, 35; Hosea 2:8, 13, 17; 11:2; 13:1; Zephaniah 1:4). ¶Peor, mentioned in connection with Baal (Numbers 25:3, 5; Psalm 106:28), was a Moabite god. The Israelites engaged in idolatry and sexual immorality with the Moabites at Baal-peor, resulting in a plague that killed 24,000 people (Numbers 25:1-9). This incident is cited as an example of the consequences of forsaking the Lord and embracing pagan worship (Deu.4.3; Hosea 9:10). ¶The recurring theme of Baal and Peor worship in the Bible serves as a warning against compromising one's faith and succumbing to the temptations of idolatry.

The prophet declares that these gods will bow down and be carried into captivity, emphasizing their powerlessness and the futility of trusting in them. ¶Jeremiah also prophesies against Bel in the context of the fall of Babylon. In Jeremiah 50:2, the prophet proclaims that Bel will be put to shame and that his images will be shattered. This prophecy indicates the destruction of Babylon and the defeat of its gods. ¶Furthermore, in Jeremiah 51:44, the Lord declares that He will punish Bel in Babylon and make him spew out what he has swallowed. This imagery suggests that the Lord will force Bel to release the nations and peoples that Babylon had conquered and oppressed. ¶The biblical references to Bel serve to emphasize the supremacy of the Lord over the gods of the nations and to demonstrate the inevitable downfall of those who trust in false deities. The prophetic messages against Bel are part of the broader theme of God's judgment against the pride and idolatry of Babylon. $========== OTHER Boaz@1Ki.7.21-2Ch=H1162H A pillar in the temple > #A pillar in the temple; called Boaz (בֹּ֫עַז) – Named Boaz@1Ki.7.21-2Ch H1162H«H1162=בֹּ֫עַז Boaz https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Boaz*|reference=1Ki.7.21;2Ch.3.17 1Ki.7.21; 2Ch.3.17 – Total Boaz H1162H 1Ki.7.21; 2Ch.3.17 2 @Briefest= @Brief= One of two bronze pillars in Solomon's Temple @Short= Boaz was the name given to one of the two bronze pillars that stood at the entrance of Solomon's Temple (1Ki.7.21; 2Ch.3.17). @Article= Boaz was the name of one of the two bronze pillars that stood at the entrance of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. The other pillar was named Jachin. These pillars were constructed by Hiram, a skilled craftsman from Tyre, who was commissioned by King Solomon to work on the Temple (1Ki.7.13-14). ¶The pillars were made of bronze and were of significant size. According to 1Ki.7.15, each pillar was eighteen cubits high (approximately 27 feet or 8.2 meters) and twelve cubits in circumference (approximately 18 feet or 5.5 meters). The pillars were hollow, with a wall thickness of four fingers (about 3 inches or 7.6 centimeters). ¶On top of each pillar was a bronze capital, which was five cubits high (approximately 7.5 feet or 2.3 meters) and decorated with a network of pomegranates (1Ki.7.16-20; 2Ch.3.15-17). The pillars were set up at the entrance of the Temple's portico, with Jachin on the right and Boaz on the left (1Ki.7.21; 2Ch.3.17). ¶The names of the pillars, Jachin and Boaz, are believed to have symbolic meanings. Jachin means "he establishes," while Boaz means "in him is strength." Together, these names may represent the idea that the Temple and the worship of the Lord were established by God's strength and would endure. ¶The pillars Jachin and Boaz were not only architectural features but also served as reminders of God's presence and the stability and strength that He provides for His people. They stood as symbols of the Temple's significance as the dwelling place of the Lord among the Israelites. $========== OTHER Booths_Festival@Jhn.7.2=G4634 Name of a festival > #The Booths Festival (σκηνοπηγία) – Named Booths_Festival@Jhn.7.2 G4634«G4634=σκηνοπηγία Feast|Festival of Booths (KJV, NIV= Tabernacles) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Feast|Festival*|reference=Jhn.7.2 Jhn.7.2 – Total Booths Festival G4634 Jhn.7.2; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' wilderness wanderings @Short= The Booths_Festival, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot, was a Jewish festival commemorating the Israelites' wilderness wanderings and God's provision (Jhn.7.2). @Article= The Booths_Festival, mentioned in Jhn.7.2, is a Jewish festival also known as the Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot. This festival is one of the three major pilgrimage feasts in the Jewish calendar, along with Passover and Pentecost. ¶The Booths_Festival commemorates the Israelites' journey through the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt. During this time, the Israelites lived in temporary shelters or booths, relying on God's provision and guidance (Leviticus 23:42-43). ¶The festival is celebrated in the autumn, typically in September or October, and lasts for seven days. During this time, observant Jews construct temporary dwellings called sukkot (booths) and dwell in them for the duration of the festival. These booths are usually made of natural materials such as branches and leaves and are decorated with fruits and other harvest-related items. ¶In John 7, Jesus goes to Jerusalem during the Booths_Festival and teaches in the Temple courts (Jhn.7.14). His presence and teachings at the festival cause division among the people, with some believing in Him and others seeking to arrest Him (Jhn.7.25-44). ¶The Booths_Festival is a time of rejoicing and thanksgiving, commemorating God's provision and care for His people during their wilderness wanderings. It also serves as a reminder of the temporary nature of earthly life and the hope of a future, permanent dwelling with God. $========== OTHER Bul@1Ki.6.38=H0945 Name of the 8th month > #Name of the 8th month; called Bul (בּוּל) – Named Bul@1Ki.6.38 H0945«H0945=בּוּל Bul https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Bul*|reference=1Ki.6.38 1Ki.6.38 – Total Bul H0945 1Ki.6.38; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= The eighth month in the ancient Hebrew calendar @Short= Bul, mentioned in 1Ki.6.38, is the eighth month in the ancient Hebrew calendar, corresponding to October-November in the modern calendar. @Article= Bul is the name of the eighth month in the ancient Hebrew calendar, as mentioned in 1Ki.6.38. This month corresponds to the modern months of October-November. ¶In the biblical account, the month of Bul is specifically associated with the completion of Solomon's Temple. 1Ki.6.38 states that the construction of the Temple was finished in the month of Bul, in the eleventh year of Solomon's reign. This means that the entire construction process took seven years, from the laying of the foundation to the completion of the building. ¶The name "Bul" is believed to be derived from the Canaanite word "balu," which means "to produce" or "to grow." This name may be related to the agricultural cycle, as the month of Bul falls during the rainy season in Israel, which is crucial for the growth of crops. ¶After the Babylonian exile, the month of Bul became known as Marcheshvan in the Jewish calendar. $========== OTHER Chemosh@Num.21.29-Jer=H3645 A male deity in the Old Testament Moab #A male deity in the Old Testament; called Chemosh (כְּמוֹשׁ) – Named Chemosh@Num.21.29-Jer H3645«H3645=כְּמוֹשׁ Chemosh https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Chemosh*|reference=Num.21.29;Jdg.11.24;1Ki.11.7;1Ki.11.33;2Ki.23.13;Jer.48.7;Jer.48.13;Jer.48.46 Num.21.29; Jdg.11.24; 1Ki.11.7; 1Ki.11.33; 2Ki.23.13; Jer.48.7; Jer.48.13; Jer.48.46 – Total Chemosh H3645 Num.21.29; Jdg.11.24; 1Ki.11.7,33; 2Ki.23.13; Jer.48.7,13,46 8 @Briefest= From Moab @Brief= Moabite god, worshipped by Solomon and others @Short= Chemosh, the god of the Moabites, was worshipped by Solomon and the Israelites, leading them into idolatry. @Article= Chemosh was the national god of the Moabites, a neighboring people to the Israelites. He is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, often in the context of idolatry and the Israelites' unfaithfulness to the Lord. ¶In Numbers 21:29, Chemosh is referred to as the god of the Moabites, to whom they attributed their victories and defeats. Judges 11:24 mentions Chemosh as the god who gave the Moabites their land, drawing a parallel between him and the Lord, who gave the Israelites their land. ¶King Solomon, despite his wisdom, turned away from the Lord and built a high place for Chemosh on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem (1Ki.11.7, 33). This act of idolatry was one of the reasons for the division of Solomon's kingdom after his death. ¶The worship of Chemosh persisted among the Israelites, and King Josiah, as part of his religious reforms, destroyed the high places dedicated to Chemosh (2Ki.23.13). The prophet Jeremiah also denounced the worship of Chemosh, foretelling the destruction of Moab and the shame that would come upon those who trusted in this false god (Jeremiah 48:7, 13, 46). ¶The biblical references to Chemosh serve as a warning against the dangers of idolatry and the consequences of turning away from the Lord to worship other gods. They also highlight the importance of remaining faithful to the one true God and resisting the temptation to conform to the religious practices of the surrounding nations. $========== OTHER Chislev@Neh.1.1-Zec=H3691 Name of the 9th month > #Name of the 9th month; called Chislev (כִּסְלֵו) – Named Chislev@Neh.1.1-Zec H3691«H3691=כִּסְלֵו Chislev https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Chislev*|reference=Neh.1.1;Zec.7.1 Neh.1.1; Zec.7.1 – Total Chislev H3691 Neh.1.1; Zec.7.1 2 @Briefest= @Brief= The ninth month in the ancient Hebrew calendar @Short= Chislev, mentioned in Nehemiah 1:1 and Zechariah 7:1, is the ninth month in the ancient Hebrew calendar, corresponding to November-December in the modern calendar. @Article= Chislev is the name of the ninth month in the ancient Hebrew calendar, as mentioned in Nehemiah 1:1 and Zechariah 7:1. This month corresponds to the modern months of November-December. ¶In Nehemiah 1:1, the month of Chislev is associated with the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes' reign. It was during this month that Nehemiah, who was serving as the king's cupbearer in Susa, received news about the distress of the Jews who had returned to Jerusalem and the poor condition of the city's walls. This news prompted Nehemiah to pray and seek permission from the king to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the city (Nehemiah 1:2-11). ¶Zechariah 7:1 mentions that the word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah in the fourth year of King Darius' reign, on the fourth day of the ninth month, which is Chislev. This oracle was given in response to a question about fasting and mourning posed by the people of Bethel (Zechariah 7:2-3). ¶The month of Chislev falls during the rainy season in Israel and is associated with the winter solstice. In later Jewish tradition, the festival of Hanukkah, which commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple after the Maccabean Revolt, is celebrated in the month of Chislev. ¶The biblical references to Chislev provide insight into the ancient Hebrew calendar and the religious and historical events that took place during this month.

However, the statue of Dagon was found fallen on its face before the Ark the next day. The Philistines set Dagon back up, but the following morning Dagon had fallen again, with its head and hands broken off (1Sa.5.3-4). The Philistines saw this as their god submitting to the God of Israel.

This festival commemorates the rededication of the Second Temple in Jerusalem during the second century BC, after it had been desecrated by the Seleucid ruler Antiochus IV Epiphanes. ¶According to Jewish tradition, when the Maccabees recaptured and cleansed the Temple, they found only enough pure olive oil to light the Temple menorah for one day. However, the oil miraculously lasted for eight days, allowing time for new, pure oil to be prepared. Hanukkah celebrates this miracle and the triumph of the Maccabees over their oppressors. ¶The Dedication_Festival is observed for eight days, typically in December, and is characterized by the lighting of the menorah, special prayers, and the singing of hymns. The festival also involves the eating of fried foods, such as potato pancakes (latkes) and doughnuts (sufganiyot), which are prepared in oil to commemorate the miracle of the Temple oil. ¶In Jhn.10.22-23, Jesus is mentioned as being in Jerusalem during the Dedication_Festival and walking in Solomon's Colonnade in the Temple. This setting provides the context for His discourse on His identity as the Good Shepherd and His unity with the Father (Jhn.10.24-39). ¶The Dedication_Festival serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the importance of preserving and rededicating oneself to the worship and service of the Lord, even in the face of opposition and persecution. $========== OTHER Destiny@Isa.65.11=H4507 A male deity in the Old Testament > #A male deity in the Old Testament; called Destiny (מְנִי) – Named Destiny@Isa.65.11 H4507«H4507=מְנִי Destiny (KJV= troop) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Destiny*|reference=Isa.65.11 Isa.65.11 – Total Destiny H4507 Isa.65.11; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A pagan deity mentioned in the Book of Isaiah @Short= Destiny, mentioned in Isaiah 65:11, is a pagan deity associated with fate or fortune, which some Israelites worshipped, forsaking the Lord. @Article= Destiny is a pagan deity mentioned in the Book of Isaiah, specifically in chapter 65, verse 11. The name "Destiny" is a translation of the Hebrew word "Meni," which is derived from the verb "manah," meaning "to apportion" or "to allot." ¶In the context of Isaiah 65, the Lord is rebuking the Israelites for their idolatry and unfaithfulness. He accuses them of forsaking Him and engaging in pagan practices, such as preparing a table for Gad (another pagan deity associated with fortune) and filling cups of mixed wine for Meni (Destiny). ¶The worship of Destiny likely involved the belief that this deity had the power to control fate and distribute good or bad fortune. By setting a table and filling cups for Destiny, the Israelites were essentially seeking the favor and protection of this false god, rather than trusting in the Lord. ¶The mention of Destiny in Isaiah 65:11 highlights the Israelites' persistent struggle with idolatry and their tendency to adopt the religious practices of the surrounding pagan cultures.

This month corresponds to the modern months of August-September. ¶In the biblical account, the month of Elul is associated with the completion of the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem under the leadership of Nehemiah. Nehemiah 6:15 states that the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of Elul, after just fifty-two days of work. This rapid completion of the wall, despite opposition and threats from enemies, was attributed to the help and protection of God (Nehemiah 6:16). ¶The month of Elul holds special significance in Jewish tradition. It is considered a time of preparation for the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) and Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), which occur in the following month of Tishri. During Elul, Jews engage in self-reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal in anticipation of these solemn days. ¶The name "Elul" is believed to be of Babylonian origin, likely adopted by the Jews during the Babylonian exile. In later Jewish tradition, the letters of the name "Elul" are interpreted as an acronym for the phrase "Ani L'dodi V'dodi Li," which means "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine," a reference to the love between God and His people. ¶The biblical reference to Elul in the context of the rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem highlights the importance of diligence, perseverance, and reliance on God's strength in the face of challenges and opposition.

The Epicurean school of thought is briefly mentioned in the New Testament, specifically in Act.17.18, where Paul encounters Epicurean and Stoic philosophers in Athens. ¶The central tenet of Epicureanism was the pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain. However, Epicurus did not advocate for hedonism or the indulgence of all desires. Instead, he taught that true happiness could be attained through the cultivation of simple pleasures, such as friendship, contentment, and peace of mind. Epicureans believed that the absence of pain and the presence of tranquility were the highest forms of pleasure. ¶In terms of religion, Epicureans held that the gods existed but were distant and uninvolved in human affairs. They rejected the idea of divine intervention and the fear of divine punishment. Epicureans also believed that the universe was composed of atoms and that everything happened by chance, without any divine purpose or design. ¶When Paul encountered the Epicurean philosophers in Athens, he used their own beliefs as a starting point for his preaching of the gospel. He acknowledged their religious devotion but challenged their understanding of the divine, proclaiming the one true God who created the world and calls all people to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ (Act.17.22-31). ¶The mention of Epicureans in the Bible provides insight into the intellectual and philosophical climate of the ancient Greek world and the challenges faced by early Christian missionaries as they sought to proclaim the gospel in a context of diverse beliefs and worldviews. $========== OTHER Ethanim@1Ki.8.2=H0388 Name of the 7th month > #Name of the 7th month; called Ethanim (אֵיתָנִים) – Named Ethanim@1Ki.8.2 H0388«H0388=אֵיתָנִים Ethanim https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Ethanim*|reference=1Ki.8.2 1Ki.8.2 – Total Ethanim H0388 1Ki.8.2; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= The seventh month in the ancient Hebrew calendar @Short= Ethanim, mentioned in 1Ki.8.2, is the seventh month in the ancient Hebrew calendar, corresponding to September-October in the modern calendar. @Article= Ethanim is the name of the seventh month in the ancient Hebrew calendar, as mentioned in 1Ki.8.2.

This festival likely refers to the Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot, a major pilgrimage festival in the Jewish calendar. ¶The dedication of the Temple was a significant event in the history of Israel, marking the establishment of a permanent dwelling place for the Lord among His people. The Temple served as the central place of worship and sacrifice, where the Israelites could come to seek God's presence and offer their prayers and offerings. ¶The name "Ethanim" is believed to be derived from the Hebrew word "ethan," which means "strong" or "enduring."

The name "Fortune" is a translation of the Hebrew word "Gad," which is derived from a root meaning "to cut" or "to divide." In ancient Near Eastern mythology, Gad was associated with luck, fortune, and prosperity. ¶In the context of Isaiah 65, the Lord is rebuking the Israelites for their idolatry and unfaithfulness. He accuses them of forsaking Him and engaging in pagan practices, such as preparing a table for Gad (Fortune) and filling cups of mixed wine for Meni (another pagan deity associated with destiny). ¶The worship of Fortune likely involved the belief that this deity had the power to bestow good luck and material blessings upon its devotees. By setting a table and offering drinks to Fortune, the Israelites were seeking the favor and protection of this false god, rather than trusting in the Lord. ¶The mention of Fortune in Isaiah 65:11 highlights the Israelites' persistent struggle with idolatry and their tendency to adopt the religious practices of the surrounding pagan cultures. The prophet's condemnation of this behavior emphasizes the importance of remaining faithful to the one true God and rejecting the worship of false deities. $========== OTHER Freedmen@Act.6.9=G3032 Group of Jews in the New Testament > #Group of Jews in the New Testament;

They had their own synagogue in Jerusalem, known as the Synagogue of the Freedmen. ¶In the context of Acts 6, some members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen, along with others from Cyrene, Alexandria, Cilicia, and Asia, opposed Stephen, one of the seven men appointed by the apostles to oversee the daily distribution of food to widows. These men engaged in debates with Stephen but were unable to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke (Act.6.10). ¶The presence of a Synagogue of the Freedmen in Jerusalem suggests that there was a significant number of former Jewish slaves who had been freed and had formed their own community and place of worship. It is possible that these freedmen were descendants of Jews who had been enslaved during the Babylonian captivity or by the Romans. ¶The mention of the Freedmen in Acts 6 provides insight into the diverse social and religious landscape of Jerusalem during the early days of the Christian church. It also highlights the challenges faced by the early believers as they encountered opposition from various groups, including those within the Jewish community. $========== OTHER Gabriel@Dan.8.16-Luk=H1403 An angel > #An angel called Gabriel (גַּבְרִיאֵל); or Gabriel (Γαβριήλ) – Named Gabriel@Dan.8.16-Luk H1403«H1403=גַּבְרִיאֵל Gabriel https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Gabriel*|reference=Dan.8.16;Dan.9.21 Dan.8.16; Dan.9.21 – Greek Gabriel@Dan.8.16-Luk G1043«G1043=Γαβριήλ Gabriel https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Gabriel*|reference=Luk.1.19;Luk.1.26 Luk.1.19; Luk.1.26 – Total Gabriel H1403, G1043 Dan.8.16; 9.21; Luk.1.19,26 4 @Briefest= @Brief= An angel who delivers messages from God @Short= Gabriel is an angel who appears in the Bible to deliver important messages from God, such as interpreting visions for Daniel (Dan.8.16; 9:21) and announcing the births of John the Baptist and Jesus (Luke 1:19, 26). @Article= Gabriel is one of the two named angels in the Bible, along with Michael. He appears in both the Old and New Testaments as a messenger of God, delivering important revelations and announcements. ¶In the Book of Daniel, Gabriel is sent to interpret visions for the prophet. In Dan.8.16, Gabriel is instructed to explain the vision of the ram and the goat to Daniel. Later, in Dan.9.21, Gabriel appears again to Daniel, providing insight into the prophecy of the seventy weeks, which concerns the coming of the Messiah and the fate of Jerusalem. ¶In the New Testament, Gabriel plays a significant role in the events surrounding the births of John the Baptist and Jesus. In Luke 1:19, Gabriel appears to Zechariah, a priest, announcing that his wife, Elizabeth, will bear a son named John, who will be filled with the Holy Spirit and prepare the way for the Lord. Later, in Luke 1:26-38, Gabriel visits Mary, a virgin betrothed to Joseph, revealing that she will conceive and give birth to the Son of God, who will be named Jesus. ¶Gabriel's appearances in the Bible underscore his role as a messenger of God, entrusted with delivering important revelations and announcements.

The exact meaning of the term is uncertain, and various interpretations have been proposed. ¶One theory suggests that Gittith refers to a musical instrument, possibly a stringed instrument or a type of lyre associated with the Philistine city of Gath. This theory is based on the similarity between the word "Gittith" and the Hebrew word for "winepress" (gat), which is also the root of the name Gath. ¶Another interpretation proposes that Gittith refers to a specific tune or melody to which these Psalms were to be sung. This could be a tune originating from or popular in the city of Gath. ¶A third possibility is that Gittith indicates a musical style or genre associated with the city. $========== OTHER Hermes@Act.14.12=G2060G A male deity in the New Testament > #A male deity in the New Testament; called Hermes (Ἑρμῆς) – Named Hermes@Act.14.12 G2060G«G2060=Ἑρμῆς Hermes (KJV= Mercurius) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Hermes*|reference=Act.14.12 Act.14.12 – Total Hermes G2060G Act.14.12; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= Greek god, associated with Paul and Barnabas @Short= In Act.14.12, the people of Lystra identified Paul as Hermes, the Greek god of messages and eloquence, because he was the chief speaker. @Article= Hermes, a Greek god, is mentioned once in the New Testament in Act.14.12. According to Greek mythology, Hermes was the son of Zeus and the messenger of the gods, associated with eloquence, diplomacy, and commerce. ¶In the context of Acts 14, Paul and Barnabas were preaching in the city of Lystra, where they healed a man who had been lame from birth (Act.14.8-10). The people of Lystra, witnessing this miracle, believed that the gods had come down to them in human form. They identified Barnabas as Zeus, the chief god in the Greek pantheon, and Paul as Hermes, because he was the chief speaker (Act.14.11-12). ¶This incident highlights the challenge faced by early Christian missionaries as they proclaimed the gospel in a culture steeped in polytheistic beliefs. The people of Lystra, unfamiliar with the concept of the one true God, attempted to interpret the miracle and the message of Paul and Barnabas through the lens of their own religious understanding. ¶Paul and Barnabas, however, quickly rejected the people's attempt to worship them as gods, tearing their clothes and urging the crowd to turn from worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth (Act.14.14-18).

They are mentioned in the New Testament on three occasions, always in connection with the Pharisees and their opposition to Jesus (Matthew 22:16; Mrk.3.6; 12:13). ¶The Herodians' political allegiance to the Herodian family put them at odds with the Pharisees, who resented the Roman occupation and the Herodian dynasty's collaboration with the Romans. However, despite their differences, the Herodians and the Pharisees found common ground in their opposition to Jesus and His teachings. ¶In Matthew 22:16 and Mrk.12.13, the Herodians and the Pharisees together sought to entrap Jesus with a question about paying taxes to Caesar. This question was designed to force Jesus into taking a position that would either alienate Him from the people or provide grounds for accusing Him of sedition against the Roman authorities. Jesus, however, perceived their hypocrisy and answered with wisdom, saying, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's" (Mrk.12.17). ¶In Mrk.3.6, following Jesus' healing of a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath, the Pharisees and the Herodians conspired together about how they might destroy Jesus. This collaboration between two groups with differing political views highlights the perceived threat that Jesus' ministry posed to the religious and political establishment of His day. ¶The Herodians' involvement in the opposition to Jesus reveals the complex political and religious landscape of first-century Judea and underscores the challenges Jesus faced as He proclaimed the coming of the Kingdom of God. $========== OTHER Higgaion@Psa.9.16=H1902G A musical term > #A musical term; called Higgaion (הִגָּיוֹן) – Named Higgaion@Psa.9.16 H1902G«H1902=הִגָּיוֹן Higgaion https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Higgaion*|reference=Psa.9.16 Psa.9.16 – Total Higgaion H1902G Psa.9.16; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A musical or literary term in the Psalms @Short= Higgaion, mentioned in Psalm 9:16, is a musical or literary term of uncertain meaning, possibly indicating a pause for meditation or reflection. @Article= Higgaion is a term that appears in the Book of Psalms, specifically in Psalm 9:16. Its exact meaning is uncertain, and various interpretations have been proposed by scholars. ¶Some suggest that Higgaion is a musical term, possibly indicating an interlude or a pause in the singing of the Psalm. This interpretation is supported by the fact that Higgaion is used in conjunction with the word "Selah," another musical term found frequently in the Psalms (Psalm 9:16). ¶Others propose that Higgaion may be a literary device, signifying a pause for meditation, reflection, or contemplation. This understanding is based on the root of the word Higgaion, which is related to the Hebrew verb "hagah," meaning "to meditate" or "to muse." ¶In the context of Psalm 9, the use of Higgaion follows a declaration of God's judgment upon the wicked and the nations (Psalm 9:15-16). The presence of Higgaion at this point in the Psalm may invite the reader or listener to pause and reflect on the significance of God's righteous judgment and the ultimate fate of those who oppose Him. ¶While the precise meaning of Higgaion remains uncertain, its inclusion in the inspired text of Scripture points to the importance of pausing to meditate on the truths revealed in God's Word and the significance of His actions in human history. $========== OTHER Hosanna@Mat.21.9-Jhn=G5614 A religious chant > #A religious chant; sounded Hosanna (ὡσαννά) – Named Hosanna@Mat.21.9-Jhn G5614«G5614=ὡσαννά Hosanna https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Hosanna*|reference=Mat.21.9;Mat.21.9;Mat.21.15;Mrk.11.9;Mrk.11.10;Jhn.12.13 Mat.21.9a; Mat.21.9b; Mat.21.15; Mrk.11.9; Mrk.11.10; Jhn.12.13 – Total Hosanna G5614 Mat.21.9; Mat.21.15; Mrk.11.9,10; Jhn.12.13 5 @Briefest= @Brief= A Hebrew expression meaning "save now" or "save, please" @Short= Hosanna, a Hebrew expression meaning "save now" or "save, please," was shouted by the crowds during Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, acknowledging Him as the Messiah (Matthew 21:9, 15; Mrk.11.9-10; Jhn.12.13). @Article= Hosanna appears in the New Testament exclusively during Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. This Hebrew expression, meaning "save now," became a cry of praise and acclamation. ¶ The word appears in several variations and contexts during this event. The crowds shouted "Hosanna to the Son of David" (Matthew 21:9), combining the cry with messianic recognition. They also proclaimed "Hosanna in the highest" (Mrk.11.10), giving the acclamation a heavenly dimension. ¶ Children in the temple continued shouting "Hosanna to the Son of David" (Matthew 21:15), much to the displeasure of the chief priests and scribes. The crowd's use of palm branches while shouting "Hosanna" (Jhn.12.13) connected this event with traditional Jewish celebrations. ¶ In each gospel account, the Hosanna acclamation is closely tied to recognition of Jesus as the messianic king, the one "who comes in the name of the Lord." The exclamation appears to have shifted from its original meaning as a plea for salvation to become an expression of praise and royal welcome. ¶ Probably derived from Hebrew "hoshia-na" found in Psalm 118:25, which was part of the Hallel sung at major Jewish festivals. $========== OTHER Jachin@1Ki.7.21-2Ch=H3199H A pillar in the temple > #A pillar in the temple; called Jachin (יָכִין) – Named Jachin@1Ki.7.21-2Ch H3199H«H3199=יָכִין Jachin https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Jachin*|reference=1Ki.7.21;2Ch.3.17 1Ki.7.21; 2Ch.3.17 – Total Jachin H3199H 1Ki.7.21; 2Ch.3.17 2 @Briefest= @Brief= One of two bronze pillars in Solomon's Temple @Short= Jachin was the name given to one of the two bronze pillars that stood at the entrance of Solomon's Temple (1Ki.7.21; 2Ch.3.17). @Article= Jachin was the name of one of the two bronze pillars that stood at the entrance of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. The other pillar was named Boaz. These pillars were constructed by Hiram, a skilled craftsman from Tyre, who was commissioned by King Solomon to work on the Temple (1Ki.7.13-14). ¶The pillars were made of bronze and were of significant size. According to 1Ki.7.15, each pillar was eighteen cubits high (approximately 27 feet or 8.2 meters) and twelve cubits in circumference (approximately 18 feet or 5.5 meters). The pillars were hollow, with a wall thickness of four fingers (about 3 inches or 7.6 centimeters). ¶On top of each pillar was a bronze capital, which was five cubits high (approximately 7.5 feet or 2.3 meters) and decorated with a network of pomegranates (1Ki.7.16-20; 2Ch.3.15-17). The pillars were set up at the entrance of the Temple's portico, with Jachin on the right and Boaz on the left (1Ki.7.21; 2Ch.3.17). ¶The names of the pillars, Jachin and Boaz, are believed to have symbolic meanings. Jachin means "he establishes," while Boaz means "in him is strength." Together, these names may represent the idea that the Temple and the worship of the Lord were established by God's strength and would endure. ¶The pillars Jachin and Boaz were not only architectural features but also served as reminders of God's presence and the stability and strength that He provides for His people. They stood as symbols of the Temple's significance as the dwelling place of the Lord among the Israelites. $========== OTHER Jonath-elem-rechokim@Psa.56.1=H3128 Title of a musical piece > #Title of a musical piece; called Jonath-elem-rechokim (יוֹנַת אֵלֶם רְחֹקִים) – Named Dove_on_Far-off_Terebinths|Jonath-elem-rechokim@Psa.56.1 H3128«H3128=יוֹנַת אֵלֶם רְחֹקִים Dove on Far-off Terebinths (KJV= Jonath-elem-rechokim; NIV= Dove on distant oaks) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Dove*|reference=Psa.56.1 Psa.56.1 – Total Jonath-elem-rechokim ("Dove on Far-off Terebinths") H3128 Psa.56.1; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A musical term in the superscription of Psalm 56 @Short= Jonath-elem-rechokim, meaning "Dove on Far-off Terebinths," is a musical term or phrase found in the superscription of Psalm 56, possibly indicating the melody or musical setting to which the psalm was to be sung. @Article= Jonath-elem-rechokim, also translated as "Dove on Far-off Terebinths," is a phrase that appears in the superscription of Psalm 56.

Some suggest that it may refer to a specific tune or melody to which the psalm was to be sung. Others propose that it could be a musical instrument or a musical style associated with the phrase. ¶The phrase "Dove on Far-off Terebinths" may also have symbolic or metaphorical significance. The dove is often used in the Bible as a symbol of peace, innocence, and the Holy Spirit (Genesis 8:8-12; Matthew 3:16; Luke 3:22). Terebinths, a type of tree, could represent a distant or foreign place, as well as strength and stability (Genesis 14:6; Isaiah 1:29; Ezk.27.6). ¶In the context of Psalm 56, the phrase Jonath-elem-rechokim may allude to David's experience of being pursued by his enemies and finding refuge in God. The psalm expresses David's trust in God's protection and deliverance, even in the face of danger and adversity (Psalm 56:3-4, 8-11). ¶While the precise meaning of Jonath-elem-rechokim remains uncertain, its presence in the superscription of Psalm 56 highlights the importance of music and symbolism in the worship and prayers of the ancient Israelites.

In the New Testament, Judaism is mentioned specifically in Galatians 1:13-14, where Paul discusses his former way of life as a devout Jew. ¶Before his conversion to Christianity, Paul (then known as Saul) was a zealous adherent of Judaism. He describes his previous life in Judaism as one in which he intensely persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it (Galatians 1:13). This persecution was driven by his commitment to the traditions of his ancestors and his belief that the early Christian movement was a threat to the Jewish faith. ¶Paul further emphasizes his dedication to Judaism by stating that he was advancing in Judaism beyond many of his contemporaries among his people, being extremely zealous for the traditions of his fathers (Galatians 1:14). This suggests that Paul was not only a devout Jew but also a scholar and a leader in the Jewish community. ¶However, after his encounter with the risen Christ on the road to Damascus (Act.9.1-19), Paul underwent a dramatic conversion and became a follower of Jesus. He came to understand that salvation is not achieved through adherence to the law but through faith in Christ (Galatians 2:16; 3:11-14). ¶Paul's mention of his former life in Judaism serves to highlight the transformative power of the gospel and the grace of God in his life. It also underscores the significant shift in his understanding of the relationship between the Jewish faith and the new covenant established through Jesus Christ. $========== OTHER Kiyyun@Amo.5.26=H3594 A male deity in the Old Testament > #A male deity in the Old Testament; called Kiyyun (כִּיּוּן) – Named Kiyyun@Amo.5.26 H3594«H3594=כִּיּוּן Kiyyun https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Kiyyun*|reference=Amo.5.26 Amo.5.26 – Total Kiyyun H3594 Amo.5.26; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= Astral deity worshiped by Israelites, provoking God's judgment @Short= Kiyyun was an astral deity that the Israelites worshiped, leading to God's judgment and their exile. @Article= Kiyyun is mentioned in Amo.5.26 as an idolatrous deity worshiped by the Israelites. The prophet Amos, in his rebuke of Israel's unfaithfulness, declares that they will be exiled beyond Damascus for their idolatry, which included carrying the shrine of their king and the pedestal of their images, the star of their god Kiyyun. This suggests that Kiyyun was an astral deity, possibly associated with a star or planet, that the Israelites had incorporated into their worship alongside other pagan practices. The worship of Kiyyun, along with other acts of disobedience, provoked God's judgment and the impending Assyrian captivity.

When Jesus asks the demon its name, the response is "Legion," for many demons had entered the man (Mrk.5.9; Luke 8:30). The name "Legion" is derived from the Roman military term for a unit of 5,000 to 6,000 soldiers, emphasizing the large number of demons possessing the man. ¶The demon-possessed man is described as living among the tombs, crying out, and cutting himself with stones. He had extraordinary strength, breaking chains and shackles used to restrain him. The demons begged Jesus not to send them out of the area and requested to enter a nearby herd of pigs. Jesus granted their request, and the demons entered the pigs, causing the herd to rush down a steep bank into the sea and drown. ¶The use of the name "Legion" highlights the severity of the man's possession and the immense power and control the demons had over him. It also demonstrates Jesus' authority over the spiritual realm, as He commanded the demons to leave the man, and they obeyed. ¶The deliverance of the demon-possessed man served as a powerful testimony to the surrounding region. The man, now clothed and in his right mind, began to proclaim what Jesus had done for him, spreading the message of Jesus' power and compassion. ¶The account of Legion emphasizes Jesus' power over evil spirits and His ability to bring healing and restoration to those oppressed by demonic forces.

The Hebrew word "leviathan" is derived from a root meaning "to twist" or "to coil," suggesting a serpentine or dragon-like creature. ¶In Job.3.8, Leviathan is mentioned in the context of Job's lament, where he curses the day of his birth and invokes those who are skilled in rousing Leviathan to curse it as well. This passage suggests that Leviathan was associated with chaos or evil. ¶Job.41.1-34 provides the most detailed description of Leviathan, portraying it as a powerful and fearsome creature with impenetrable scales, terrible teeth, and the ability to breathe fire. In this context, Leviathan is used as an illustration of God's power over creation and His ability to subdue even the mightiest of creatures. ¶In Psalm 74:14, Leviathan is depicted as having multiple heads, which God crushed and gave as food to the creatures of the wilderness. This imagery is likely symbolic, representing God's victory over the forces of chaos and evil. ¶Psalm 104:26 mentions Leviathan as one of the sea creatures that God formed to play in the vast waters, showcasing God's creative power and the diversity of His creation. ¶Isaiah 27:1 prophesies that on the day of the Lord's judgment, He will punish Leviathan, described as the fleeing and twisting serpent, with His fierce and mighty sword. This passage portrays Leviathan as a symbol of evil or chaos that will ultimately be defeated by God. ¶The exact identity of Leviathan is uncertain, with some scholars suggesting it may refer to a crocodile, a whale, or a mythological sea monster. However, the biblical references to Leviathan are primarily symbolic, representing chaos, evil, or the forces opposed to God. The passages emphasize God's sovereignty over creation and His ultimate victory over all that challenges His rule. $========== OTHER LORD@Gen.1.1-Rev=H3068G The Deity > #The Deity;

This is the only occurrence of this name in the Bible. The context shows this is not referring to Satan, but poetically describing the fall of the arrogant king of Babylon. Isaiah depicts the king as having an inflated ego, thinking himself to be above the stars of God, but he will be brought low and cast down to the realm of the dead (Isaiah 14:13-15). The Latin Vulgate later translated "Helel" as "Lucifer" which was then carried over into the King James Version. But the passage is not about Satan's fall, rather it is using poetic language to portray the judgment coming upon the proud king of Babylon. $========== OTHER Mahalath@Psa.53.1-=H4257 A musical term > #A musical term; called Mahalath (מַחֲלַת) – Named Mahalath@Psa.53.1- H4257«H4257=מַחֲלַת Mahalath https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Mahalath*|reference=Psa.53.1;Psa.88.1 Psa.53.1; Psa.88.1 – Total Mahalath H4257 Psa.53.1; 88.1 2 @Briefest= @Brief= A musical or literary term in the Psalms @Short= Mahalath, mentioned in the superscriptions of Psalms 53 and 88, is a musical or literary term of uncertain meaning. @Article= Mahalath is a term that appears in the superscriptions of two psalms in the Old Testament: Psalm 53 and Psalm 88. The exact meaning of the term is uncertain, and scholars have proposed various interpretations. ¶Some suggest that Mahalath may refer to a musical instrument, possibly a type of flute or stringed instrument. Others propose that it could indicate a specific tune or melody to which these psalms were to be sung. ¶Another interpretation is that Mahalath might be a literary term, possibly denoting a particular style of composition or a type of contemplative or mournful song. This view is supported by the content of the psalms in which Mahalath appears, as both Psalm 53 and Psalm 88 deal with themes of human sinfulness, despair, and the need for God's intervention. ¶In Psalm 53, which is nearly identical to Psalm 14, the psalmist laments the widespread corruption of humanity and the apparent absence of those who seek God. The psalm concludes with a prayer for God's salvation and the restoration of His people. ¶Psalm 88, one of the darkest and most somber psalms in the Psalter, is a cry of deep anguish and despair. The psalmist feels overwhelmed by God's wrath and abandoned by friends and family. The psalm ends without a clear resolution, emphasizing the depth of the psalmist's suffering. ¶While the precise meaning of Mahalath remains uncertain, its presence in the superscriptions of these psalms highlights the importance of music and literary expression in the worship and prayers of ancient Israel. It also serves as a reminder of the raw honesty and emotional depth found in the Psalms, as they give voice to the full range of human experience and the longing for God's presence and deliverance. $========== OTHER Maranatha@1Co.16.22=G3134 A religious chant > #A religious chant;

The word consists of two Aramaic components: "Marana" meaning "our Lord," and "tha" meaning "come." Together, the phrase "Maranatha" can be translated as "Our Lord, come!" or "Come, O Lord!" ¶In the context of 1 Corinthians 16, the Apostle Paul is concluding his letter to the Corinthian church with a series of exhortations and greetings. He writes, "If anyone has no love for the Lord, let him be accursed. Our Lord, come!" (1Co.16.22, ESV). The placement of "Maranatha" at the end of this verse emphasizes the urgency and longing for the Lord's return. ¶The use of an Aramaic expression in a predominantly Greek-speaking context suggests that "Maranatha" may have been a common prayer or liturgical formula in the early Christian church. It encapsulates the belief in the second coming of Christ and the eager anticipation of His return to establish His kingdom on earth. ¶The prayer "Maranatha" reflects the early church's hope and longing for the fulfillment of God's promises and the consummation of His redemptive plan. It expresses the desire for Christ's return, judgment of evil, and the establishment of His eternal reign. ¶The inclusion of "Maranatha" in Paul's letter to the Corinthians also serves as a reminder to the church to remain faithful, watchful, and ready for the Lord's coming. It encourages believers to live in light of eternity and to maintain a sense of urgency in their spiritual lives. ¶Beyond its use in 1Co.16.22, the prayer "Maranatha" has been adopted by the broader Christian tradition as a declaration of faith, hope, and longing for Christ's return. It continues to be used in liturgical settings and personal prayers, expressing the ongoing desire of believers for the fulfillment of God's kingdom on earth. $========== OTHER Maskil@Psa.32.1-=H4905 A musical term > #A musical term; called Maskil (מַשְׂכִּיל) – Named Maskil@Psa.32.1- H4905«H4905=מַשְׂכִּיל Maskil https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Maskil*|reference=Psa.32.1;Psa.42.1;Psa.44.1;Psa.45.1;Psa.47.8;Psa.52.1;Psa.53.1;Psa.54.1;Psa.55.1;Psa.74.1;Psa.78.1;Psa.88.1;Psa.89.1;Psa.142.1 Psa.32.1; Psa.42.1; Psa.44.1; Psa.45.1; Psa.47.8; Psa.52.1; Psa.53.1; Psa.54.1; Psa.55.1; Psa.74.1; Psa.78.1; Psa.88.1; Psa.89.1; Psa.142.1 – Total Maskil H4905 Psa.32.1; 42.1; 44.1; 45.1; 47.8; 52.1; 53.1; 54.1; 55.1; 74.1; 78.1; 88.1; 89.1; 142.1 14 @Briefest= @Brief= A musical or literary term in the Psalms @Short= Maskil is a term found in the superscriptions of several psalms, possibly indicating a contemplative or instructive psalm or a specific musical style. @Article= Maskil is a term that appears in the superscriptions of thirteen psalms in the Old Testament (Psalms 32, 42, 44, 45, 52-55, 74, 78, 88, 89, and 142). The precise meaning of the term is uncertain, and various interpretations have been proposed by scholars. ¶One common understanding is that Maskil refers to a contemplative or instructive psalm. The root of the word Maskil is related to the Hebrew verb "sakal," which means "to be prudent" or "to have insight." This suggests that the psalms labeled as Maskil may have been intended to impart wisdom, understanding, or instruction to the listener or reader. ¶Another interpretation is that Maskil could indicate a specific musical style or genre. Some scholars propose that it may refer to a skillfully composed song or a psalm that requires musical expertise to perform. The Septuagint, an ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament, often translates Maskil as "a psalm of understanding" or "a skillful psalm." ¶The psalms designated as Maskil cover a range of themes and emotions, from penitence and lament to praise and thanksgiving. For example, Psalm 32 is a penitential psalm that reflects on the joy of forgiveness, while Psalm 45 is a royal wedding song that celebrates the king's marriage and God's blessing upon the monarchy. ¶Several Maskil psalms, such as Psalms 42, 44, and 88, are psalms of lament, expressing deep sorrow, despair, or feelings of abandonment by God. Others, like Psalms 52 and 78, offer wisdom and instruction, warning against wickedness and urging trust in God. ¶The use of the term Maskil in the superscriptions of these psalms highlights the importance of musical and literary expression in ancient Israelite worship. It also underscores the role of the Psalms in providing guidance, comfort, and instruction to God's people as they navigate the complexities of life and faith. ¶While the exact meaning of Maskil remains uncertain, its presence in the Psalter testifies to the rich tradition of musical and poetic composition in ancient Israel and the enduring power of the Psalms to speak to the human experience across generations. $========== OTHER Mazzaroth@Job.38.32=H4216 A star or constellation > #A star or constellation; called Mazzaroth (מַזָּרוֹת) – Named Mazzaroth@Job.38.32 H4216«H4216=מַזָּרוֹת Mazzaroth https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Mazzaroth*|reference=Job.38.32 Job.38.32 – Total Mazzaroth H4216 Job.38.32; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A term related to astronomy or constellations @Short= Mazzaroth, mentioned in Job.38.32, is a term of uncertain meaning, possibly referring to constellations or the zodiac. @Article= Mazzaroth is a term that appears only once in the Bible, in Job.38.32. The exact meaning of the term is uncertain, and various interpretations have been proposed by scholars. ¶In the context of Job 38, God is questioning Job about the mysteries of the universe and the natural world, demonstrating His omniscience and power as the Creator. God asks, "Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season, or can you guide the Bear with its children?" (Job.38.32, ESV). The parallelism in this verse suggests that Mazzaroth is related to astronomical bodies or constellations. ¶One common interpretation is that Mazzaroth refers to the twelve constellations of the zodiac. The word Mazzaroth may be derived from the Akkadian term "manzaztu," which means "station" or "position," possibly referring to the positions of the stars and planets in the night sky. ¶Another view is that Mazzaroth could be a reference to the planets or the general arrangement of the heavenly bodies. Some scholars have suggested that it may be related to the Hebrew word "mazzalot," which appears in 2Ki.23.5 and is often translated as "constellations." ¶The mention of Mazzaroth in the context of God's questioning of Job underscores the limitless wisdom and power of God as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. $========== OTHER Merodach@Jer.50.2=H4781 A male deity in the Old Testament > #A male deity in the Old Testament; called Merodach (מְרֹדָךְ) – Named Merodach@Jer.50.2 H4781«H4781=מְרֹדָךְ Merodach https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Merodach*|reference=Jer.50.2 Jer.50.2 – Total Merodach H4781 Jer.50.2; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= Chief god of Babylon @Short= Merodach, also known as Bel, was the chief god of the Babylonian pantheon. @Article= Merodach, mentioned in Jeremiah 50:2, was the chief god of the city of Babylon.

The word "Messiah" comes from the Hebrew "mashiach," meaning "anointed one." In the Old Testament, this term was used for kings, priests, and prophets who were anointed with oil as a sign of their divine appointment. ¶In the New Testament, "Messiah" is used as a title for Jesus Christ, indicating his role as the promised savior and deliverer of God's people. In Jhn.1.41, Andrew tells his brother Simon Peter, "We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ). In Jhn.4.25, the Samaritan woman at the well says to Jesus, "I know that Messiah is coming (he who is called Christ)." ¶The Greek equivalent of "Messiah" is "Christos," from which the title "Christ" is derived.

Another theory is that it could be related to the Akkadian word "katamu," meaning "to hide" or "to keep secret," suggesting that these psalms contain hidden or mystical teachings. ¶Despite the lack of certainty about its precise meaning, the presence of Miktam in these Psalm titles indicates that it held some significance for the ancient Israelites in their worship and understanding of these particular psalms.

King Solomon built a high place for Molech on the Mount of Olives (1 Ki. 11:7), which was later destroyed by King Josiah during his religious reforms (2 Ki. 23:13). ¶The prophet Jeremiah condemns the practice of child sacrifice to Molech in the Valley of Hinnom near Jerusalem (Jer. 32:35). Molech is also mentioned in Amo.5.26 and Act.7.43, where it is associated with idolatry and the worship of heavenly bodies.

During the period of the vow, a Nazirite was required to abstain from wine and all grape products (Numbers 6:3,4), refrain from cutting their hair (Numbers 6:5), and avoid contact with dead bodies, even those of close relatives (Numbers 6:6,7). If a Nazirite accidentally came into contact with a corpse, they had to undergo a purification ritual and restart their vow (Numbers 6:9-12). At the conclusion of the vow, the Nazirite would offer sacrifices, shave their consecrated hair, and burn it on the altar (Numbers 6:13-21).

He was the son of Marduk, the chief god of Babylon, and his worship was centered in the ancient city of Borsippa. The name "Nebo" appears as an element in the names of several prominent Babylonian kings, indicating his importance in their religious and cultural life. ¶The biblical reference to Nebo in Isaiah 46:1 occurs in the context of a prophecy against Babylon, where the gods Bel and Nebo are depicted as being humiliated and carried away into captivity. This passage emphasizes the futility of trusting in false gods and the superiority of the Lord, the God of Israel. ¶Mount Nebo, located in Moab, is the place where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land before his death (Deu.32.49; 34:1). The mountain is part of the Abarim range and is situated near the northeastern end of the Dead Sea. From its summit, one can see the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and the hills of Jerusalem on a clear day. ¶According to the biblical account, Moses ascended Mount Nebo at the end of his life, and the Lord showed him the land that He had promised to give to the Israelites (Deu.34.1-4). After viewing the land, Moses died on the mountain, and God buried him in an unknown location in the valley (Deu.34.5-6). ¶The name "Nebo" also appears in the Bible as a town in Moab (Numbers 32:3, 38) and as a personal name (Ezra 2:29; 10:43; Nehemiah 7:33). $========== OTHER Nehushtan@2Ki.18.4=H5180 A male deity in the Old Testament > #A male deity in the Old Testament; called Nehushtan (נְחֻשְׁתָּן) – Named Nehushtan@2Ki.18.4 H5180«H5180=נְחֻשְׁתָּן Nehushtan https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Nehushtan*|reference=2Ki.18.4 2Ki.18.4 – Total Nehushtan H5180 2Ki.18.4; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= The bronze serpent made by Moses in the wilderness @Short= Nehushtan, mentioned in 2Ki.18.4, was the name given to the bronze serpent that Moses made in the wilderness (Numbers 21:8-9), which had become an object of idolatrous worship by the time of King Hezekiah. @Article= Nehushtan was the name given to the bronze serpent that Moses made in the wilderness during the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the Promised Land (Numbers 21:8-9). The name "Nehushtan" is derived from the Hebrew word for bronze or copper, "nehoshet." ¶According to the biblical account in Numbers 21, the Israelites spoke against God and Moses, complaining about the lack of food and water in the wilderness. As a result, the Lord sent venomous snakes among the people, causing many to die. When the people repented and asked Moses to intercede on their behalf, God instructed Moses to make a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. Anyone who had been bitten by a snake could look at the bronze serpent and live (Numbers 21:4-9). ¶The bronze serpent became a symbol of God's healing power and deliverance from the consequences of sin. However, by the time of King Hezekiah, who reigned over Judah from approximately 715 to 686 BC, the Israelites had begun to worship the bronze serpent as an idol. In 2Ki.18.4, we learn that Hezekiah "removed the high places and broke the pillars and cut down the Asherah. And he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until those days the people of Israel had made offerings to it (it was called Nehushtan)." ¶Hezekiah's actions demonstrate his commitment to religious reform and his desire to purge the land of idolatry. By destroying the bronze serpent, which had become an object of misplaced worship, Hezekiah emphasized the importance of worshipping the Lord alone and not relying on physical objects or symbols for spiritual deliverance. ¶The story of Nehushtan serves as a reminder that even objects originally intended for good purposes can become idols if people place their trust and devotion in them instead of in God. It also highlights the need for periodic religious reform and the importance of maintaining proper worship practices. $========== OTHER Nergal@2Ki.17.30=H5370 A male deity in the Old Testament > #A male deity in the Old Testament; called Nergal (נֵרְגָּ֑ל) – Named Nergal@2Ki.17.30 H5370«H5370=נֵרְגָּ֑ל Nergal https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Nergal*|reference=2Ki.17.30 2Ki.17.30 – Total Nergal H5370 2Ki.17.30; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A Mesopotamian god worshipped by the Assyrians @Short= Nergal, mentioned in 2Ki.17.30, was a Mesopotamian god of war, pestilence, and the underworld, worshipped by the men of Cuth who were brought to Samaria by the Assyrians. @Article= Nergal was a Mesopotamian deity mentioned in 2Ki.17.30 as one of the gods worshipped by the people of Cuth, who were among the foreign settlers brought to Samaria by the Assyrians after the deportation of the Israelites. ¶In Mesopotamian mythology, Nergal was associated with war, pestilence, and the underworld. He was often depicted as a lion-headed deity holding a sword and a mace. Nergal was the patron god of the city of Cuthah (or Kutha) in Babylonia, which explains why the Cuthites brought his worship with them when they were resettled in Samaria. ¶The biblical context of 2 Kings 17 describes the religious syncretism that occurred in Samaria after the Assyrian conquest and the resettlement of various foreign peoples in the region. These foreign settlers continued to worship their own gods, including Nergal, alongside the worship of the Lord (2Ki.17.29-33). ¶The worship of Nergal and other foreign deities in Samaria was seen as a violation of the covenant between God and Israel, which required exclusive devotion to the Lord. The prophets consistently condemned the worship of foreign gods and called for repentance and a return to faithful worship of the Lord alone. ¶The mention of Nergal in the Bible serves as an example of the religious challenges faced by the Israelites living in a region surrounded by polytheistic cultures. It also highlights the importance of remaining faithful to the Lord and resisting the temptation to adopt the religious practices of neighboring nations. $========== OTHER New_Moon@Col.2.16=G3561 Name of a festival New Moon > #A festival; called New Moon (νουμηνία) – Named New_Moon@Col.2.16 G3561«G3561=νουμηνία New Moon https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=New*|reference=Col.2.16 Col.2.16 – Total New Moon G3561 Col.2.16; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= New Moon: A religious observance marking the beginning of months @Short= The New Moon, mentioned in Col.2.16, was a religious observance marking the beginning of each month in the Hebrew calendar, often celebrated with special sacrifices and feasts. @Article= The New Moon was a significant religious observance in ancient Israel, marking the beginning of each month in the Hebrew lunar calendar. It was a time for special sacrifices, feasts, and rest from work. ¶In the Old Testament, the New Moon is mentioned alongside Sabbaths and other appointed feasts as days of worship and celebration (e.g., Numbers 10:10; 28:11-15; 1Ch.23.31; 2Ch.2.4; Ezra 3:5; Nehemiah 10:33; Isaiah 1:13-14; Ezk.45.17; Hosea 2:11). The New Moon was determined by the appearance of the first sliver of the new lunar crescent, which marked the beginning of a new month. ¶The New Moon observances often included the offering of special sacrifices, such as burnt offerings and sin offerings (Numbers 28:11-15). It was also a time for gathering together, feasting, and blowing trumpets (Numbers 10:10; Psalm 81:3). ¶In the New Testament, the New Moon is mentioned in Col.2.16, where Paul instructs believers not to let anyone judge them regarding food, drink, or in respect to a festival, a New Moon, or Sabbaths. This passage suggests that some early Christians, particularly those from a Jewish background, may have continued to observe the New Moon and other Jewish religious practices. ¶However, Paul emphasizes that these observances are a shadow of the things to come, and that the substance belongs to Christ (Col.2.17). He teaches that believers are no longer bound by these religious regulations. $========== OTHER Nibhaz@2Ki.17.31=H5026 A male deity in the Old Testament > #A male deity in the Old Testament; called Nibhaz (נִבְחַז) – Named Nibhaz@2Ki.17.31 H5026«H5026=נִבְחַז Nibhaz https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Nibhaz*|reference=2Ki.17.31 2Ki.17.31 – Total Nibhaz H5026 2Ki.17.31; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= Idol god worshiped by the Avvites in Samaria @Short= Nibhaz was a deity worshiped by the Avvite people who settled in Samaria. @Article= Nibhaz is only mentioned once in the Bible, in 2Ki.17.31. After the king of Assyria had deported most of the Israelites from Samaria, he resettled the area with people from other lands, including the Avvites. The Avvites are said to have made Nibhaz and Tartak their gods. Nothing else is known about Nibhaz from the Bible. It may have been a local deity of the Avvites from their homeland, but its characteristics and how it was represented are not recorded in Scripture. The foreign gods brought in by the resettled peoples were later seen as a spiritual snare to the remaining Israelites in the land. $========== OTHER Nicolaitans@Rev.2.6-=G3531 Religious group in the New Testament > #Religious group in the New Testament; called Nicolaitans (Νικολαΐτης) – Named Nicolaitans@Rev.2.6- G3531«G3531=Νικολαΐτης Nicolaitan https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Nicolaitan*|reference=Rev.2.6;Rev.2.15 Rev.2.6; Rev.2.15 – Total Nicolaitans G3531 Rev.2.6; Rev.2.15 2 @Briefest= @Brief= A group whose practices were condemned by Jesus @Short= The Nicolaitans, mentioned in Revelation 2:6 and 2:15, were a group whose practices were hated by Jesus and condemned by the early church. @Article= The Nicolaitans were a group mentioned twice in the Book of Revelation (2:6, 15) as a sect whose practices were strongly condemned by Jesus. In His messages to the seven churches, Jesus commends the church in Ephesus for hating the practices of the Nicolaitans (Revelation 2:6) and warns the church in Pergamum against those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolaitans (Revelation 2:15). ¶Although the exact nature of the Nicolaitans' practices and teachings is not explicitly described in the Bible, it is evident that they were considered heretical and contrary to the true gospel. Some early church fathers, such as Irenaeus and Hippolytus, associated the Nicolaitans with Nicolaus, one of the seven deacons mentioned in Act.6.5, suggesting that he had departed from the faith and became the founder of this sect. However, there is no conclusive evidence to support this claim. ¶Other interpretations propose that the Nicolaitans may have promoted a form of antinomianism, which is the belief that moral law is not binding on Christians, or that they may have encouraged compromise with pagan practices and idolatry. These interpretations are based on the context of the warnings against the Nicolaitans in Revelation, which are connected to the warnings against sexual immorality and eating food sacrificed to idols (Revelation 2:14, 20). ¶Regardless of the specific nature of their teachings, it is clear that the practices of the Nicolaitans were seen as a serious threat to the purity and faithfulness of the early church. Jesus' strong condemnation of the Nicolaitans serves as a warning to all believers to remain vigilant against false teachings and practices that could lead them away from the truth of the gospel. $========== OTHER Nisroch@2Ki.19.37-Isa=H5268 A male deity in the Old Testament > #A male deity in the Old Testament; called Nisroch (נִסְרֹךְ) – Named Nisroch@2Ki.19.37-Isa H5268«H5268=נִסְרֹךְ Nisroch https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Nisroch*|reference=2Ki.19.37;Isa.37.38 2Ki.19.37; Isa.37.38 – Total Nisroch H5268 2Ki.19.37; Isa.37.38 2 @Briefest= @Brief= An Assyrian deity, possibly associated with agriculture @Short= Nisroch, mentioned in 2Ki.19.37 and Isaiah 37:38, was an Assyrian deity in whose temple King Sennacherib was worshipping when he was assassinated by his sons. @Article= Nisroch is the name of an Assyrian deity mentioned in the Bible in connection with the death of King Sennacherib of Assyria. According to 2Ki.19.37 and Isaiah 37:38, Sennacherib was worshipping in the temple of Nisroch when he was assassinated by his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer, who then fled to the land of Ararat. ¶The exact identity of Nisroch is uncertain, as this name does not appear in any known Assyrian or Babylonian texts or inscriptions. Some scholars suggest that Nisroch may be a corruption or a variant spelling of the name of a known Assyrian deity, such as Nusku, the god of fire and light, or Ninurta, the god of hunting and war. ¶Another theory proposes that Nisroch might have been a deity associated with agriculture or vegetation, based on a possible etymological connection with the Hebrew word "neser," which means "branch" or "shoot." However, this theory lacks substantial evidence. ¶The biblical account of Sennacherib's death in the temple of Nisroch is consistent with ancient Near Eastern practices, where kings often worshipped and made offerings in the temples of their gods. The assassination of Sennacherib by his own sons while worshipping in the temple may also be seen as an act of divine judgment, as Sennacherib had previously blasphemed against the Lord and threatened Jerusalem (2 Kings 18-19; Isaiah 36-37). ¶Although the specific identity of Nisroch remains a mystery, the mention of this deity in the Bible provides insight into the religious practices of the Assyrian kings and the historical context of Sennacherib's reign and demise. $========== OTHER Omega@Rev.1.8-=G5598 Name of a letter > #Name of a letter called Omega (Ὦ) – Named Omega@Rev.1.8- G5598«G5598=Ὦ Omega https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Omega*|reference=Rev.1.8;Rev.1.11;Rev.21.6;Rev.22.13 Rev.1.8; Rev.1.11; Rev.21.6; Rev.22.13 – Total Omega G5598 Rev.1.8; Rev.1.11; 21.6; 22.13 4 @Briefest= Last letter @Brief= A title of Jesus, signifying His eternal nature @Short= In Revelation 1:8, 21:6, and 22:13, Jesus is referred to as "the Alpha and the Omega," a title that emphasizes His eternal nature and His role as the beginning and the end of all things. @Article= Omega is the last letter of the Greek alphabet and is used in the Book of Revelation as a title for Jesus Christ, along with Alpha, the first letter of the Greek alphabet. The phrase "Alpha and Omega" occurs four times in the Book of Revelation (1:8, 1:11, 21:6, and 22:13), and in each instance, it is used to describe the eternal nature and supremacy of Jesus Christ. ¶In Revelation 1:8, God declares, "I am the Alpha and the Omega," indicating His eternal existence and His role as the beginning and the end of all things. This same title is applied to Jesus Christ in Revelation 1:11, where He states, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," affirming His divinity and equality with God the Father. ¶In Revelation 21:6, Jesus declares, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," as He promises to give freely from the spring of the water of life to those who thirst. This statement emphasizes Jesus' role as the source and sustainer of eternal life. ¶Finally, in Revelation 22:13, Jesus proclaims, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last," reaffirming His eternal nature and His sovereignty over all creation. ¶The use of the title "Alpha and Omega" for Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation underscores His divinity, His eternal existence, and His supreme authority.

In each of these references, Orion is used to illustrate God's power, wisdom, and sovereignty over creation. ¶In Job.9.9, Orion is listed along with other constellations, such as the Bear, Pleiades, and the chambers of the south, as an example of God's handiwork in the heavens. This passage emphasizes God's omnipotence and the vastness of His creation, which is beyond human understanding. ¶In Job.38.31, God challenges Job by asking, "Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loose the cords of Orion?" This rhetorical question highlights God's control over the constellations and the laws that govern the universe. It also serves to remind Job of his limited understanding and power compared to the infinite wisdom and might of God. ¶In Amo.5.8, the prophet declares that God "made the Pleiades and Orion," using these constellations as examples of God's creative power. This passage is set in the context of a call to repentance and a warning of impending judgment, reminding the people of Israel that the God who created the stars is also the One who will hold them accountable for their actions. ¶The mention of Orion in these biblical passages serves to emphasize the majesty, power, and wisdom of God as displayed in His creation. The constellations, including Orion, are seen as evidence of God's handiwork and His sovereign control over the universe. These references also serve to humble humanity, reminding us of our limited understanding and the need to submit to the Creator of all things. $========== OTHER Passover@Exo.12.11-Heb=H6453 Name of a feastival > #Name of a feastival;

It is observed annually on the 14th day of the first month, Nisan (Exodus 12:11; Leviticus 23:5; Numbers 28:16). ¶ The festival's name derives from the event in which the Lord "passed over" the houses of the Israelites during the tenth plague, sparing their firstborn while striking down those of the Egyptians (Exodus 12:27). This night marked the beginning of the Exodus, the foundational event of Israelite identity (Exodus 12:43,48). ¶ The Passover celebration includes the sacrifice of a lamb without blemish, whose blood was originally applied to the doorposts and lintels of Israelite homes (Exodus 12:21). The meal involves eating the lamb with unleavened bread and bitter herbs, symbolizing haste and suffering (Exodus 12:8). ¶ Detailed instructions for observing Passover are found in Deuteronomy (Deu.16.1-6), and it was to be celebrated in the place God chose, later understood to be Jerusalem (Deu.16.2,6). The festival was central to Israelite worship and identity, with significant observances noted during the reigns of kings Hezekiah and Josiah (2Ch.30.1-2, 35:1,18). ¶ Notable Passover celebrations include those led by Joshua after entering the Promised Land (Joshua 5:10-11), during King Josiah's reforms (2Ki.23.21-23), and as described in Ezra during the return from exile (Ezra 6:19-20). ¶ In the New Testament, Passover plays a significant role in the narratives surrounding Jesus' crucifixion, which occurred during the festival. Jesus shared a Passover meal with His disciples, known as the Last Supper, which Christians commemorate as the institution of the Lord's Supper (Matthew 26:17-19; Mrk.14.12-16; Luke 22:7-15). The apostle Paul refers to Christ as "our Passover lamb" who has been sacrificed (1Co.5.7). ¶ The festival's significance extends into Christian theology, symbolizing redemption and deliverance from sin, as noted in the epistle to the Hebrews, which highlights its faith aspect (Hebrews 11:28). $========== OTHER Pharisee@Mat.3.7-Php=G5330 Religious group in the New Testament > #Religious group in the New Testament called Pharisee (Φαρισαῖος) – Named Pharisee@Mat.3.7-Php G5330«G5330=Φαρισαῖος Pharisee https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Pharisee*|reference=Mat.3.7;Mat.5.20;Mat.9.11;Mat.9.14;Mat.9.34;Mat.12.2;Mat.12.14;Mat.12.24;Mat.12.38;Mat.15.1;Mat.15.12;Mat.16.1;Mat.16.6;Mat.16.11;Mat.16.12;Mat.19.3;Mat.21.45;Mat.22.15;Mat.22.34;Mat.22.41;Mat.23.2;Mat.23.13;Mat.23.15;Mat.23.23;Mat.23.25;Mat.23.26;Mat.23.27;Mat.23.29;Mat.27.62;Mrk.2.16;Mrk.2.18;Mrk.2.18;Mrk.2.24;Mrk.3.6;Mrk.7.1;Mrk.7.3;Mrk.7.5;Mrk.8.11;Mrk.8.15;Mrk.10.2 Mat.3.7; Mat.5.20; Mat.9.11; Mat.9.14; Mat.9.34; Mat.12.2; Mat.12.14; Mat.12.24; Mat.12.38; Mat.15.1; Mat.15.12; Mat.16.1; Mat.16.6; Mat.16.11; Mat.16.12; Mat.19.3; Mat.21.45; Mat.22.15; Mat.22.34; Mat.22.41; Mat.23.2; Mat.23.13; Mat.23.15; Mat.23.23; Mat.23.25; Mat.23.26; Mat.23.27; Mat.23.29; Mat.27.41; Mat.27.62; Mrk.2.16; Mrk.2.18a; Mrk.2.18b; Mrk.2.24; Mrk.3.6; Mrk.7.1; Mrk.7.3; Mrk.7.5; Mrk.8.11; Mrk.8.15; Mrk.10.2; Mrk.12.13; Luk.5.17; Luk.5.21; Luk.5.30; Luk.5.33; Luk.6.2; Luk.6.7; Luk.7.30; Luk.7.36a; Luk.7.36b; Luk.7.37; Luk.7.39; Luk.11.37; Luk.11.38; Luk.11.39; Luk.11.42; Luk.11.43; Luk.11.53; Luk.12.1; Luk.13.31; Luk.14.1; Luk.14.3; Luk.15.2; Luk.16.14; Luk.17.20; Luk.18.10; Luk.18.11; Luk.19.39; Jhn.1.24; Jhn.3.1; Jhn.4.1; Jhn.7.32a; Jhn.7.32b; Jhn.7.45; Jhn.7.47; Jhn.7.48; Jhn.8.3; Jhn.8.13; Jhn.9.13; Jhn.9.15; Jhn.9.16; Jhn.9.40; Jhn.11.46; Jhn.11.47; Jhn.11.57; Jhn.12.19; Jhn.12.42; Jhn.18.3; Act.5.34; Act.15.5; Act.23.6a; Act.23.6b; Act.23.6c; Act.23.7; Act.23.8; Act.23.9; Act.26.5; Php.3.5 – (same form as previous) Pharisee@Mat.3.7-Php G5330«G5330=Φαρισαῖος [ ] (KJV= Pharisee) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|reference=Mat.23.14;Luk.11.44 Mat.23.14; Luk.11.44 – Total Pharisee G5330 Mat.3.7; 5.20; 9.11,14,34; 12.2,14,24,38; 15.1,12; 16.1,6,11,12; 19.3; 21.45; 22.15,34,41; 23; 27.41,62; Mrk.2.16,18,18,24; 3.6; 7.1,3,5; 8.11,15; 10.2; 12.13; Luk.5.17,21,30,33; 6.2,7; 7.30,36,36,37,39; 11.37,38,39,42,43,53; 12.1; 13.31; 14.1,3; 15.2; 16.14; 17.20; 18.10,11; 19.39; Jhn.1.24; 3.1; 4.1; 7.32,32,45,47,48; 8.3,13; 9.13,15,16,40; 11.46,47,57; 12.19,42; 18.3; Act.5.34; 15.5; 23.6,6,7,8,9; 26.5; Php.3.5; Mat.23.14; Luk.11.44 93 @Briefest= @Brief= A strict Jewish sect known for legalism and hypocrisy @Short= The Pharisees were a Jewish sect known for their strict observance of the law and oral traditions, often clashing with Jesus over matters of ritual purity, Sabbath regulations, and His claims to divine authority (Matthew 23; Luke 11:37-54). @Article= The Pharisees were a prominent Jewish sect active during the Second Temple period and in the time of Jesus Christ. They were known for their strict observance of the Mosaic law and the oral traditions of the elders (Mrk.7.3-5). The Pharisees believed in the resurrection of the dead, the existence of angels and spirits, and the importance of following legal traditions (Act.23.6-8). ¶Throughout the Gospels, the Pharisees are often portrayed as legalistic, hypocritical, and self-righteous (Matthew 23). They frequently confronted Jesus about His teachings, practices, and claims to divine authority (Matthew 12:2, 14, 24; 15:1-12; 19:3; 22:15-46). Jesus rebuked them for their hypocrisy, legalism, and neglect of justice, mercy, and faithfulness (Matthew 23:23-28; Luke 11:37-54). ¶Despite this general characterization, some Pharisees are presented positively, such as Nicodemus, who sought Jesus's teaching (Jhn.3.1-21), and those who warned Jesus of Herod's plot to kill Him (Luke 13:31). Some Pharisees even became followers of Christ, like the apostle Paul, who described himself as a Pharisee (Php.3.5; Act.23.6). ¶After Jesus's death and resurrection, the Pharisees continued to oppose the early Christian church (Act.5.34; 15:5). Paul's testimony about his former life as a Pharisee underscored the transformative power of his encounter with the risen Christ (Act.26.5; Php.3.5-11). Despite their knowledge of Scripture, many Pharisees failed to recognize Jesus as the fulfillment of God's promises and the Messiah (Jhn.9.13-41). $========== OTHER Pleiades@Job.9.9-Amo=H3598 A star or constellation > #A star or constellation; called Pleiades (כִּימָה) – Named Pleiades@Job.9.9-Amo H3598«H3598=כִּימָה Pleiades https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Pleiades*|reference=Job.9.9;Job.38.31;Amo.5.8 Job.9.9; Job.38.31; Amo.5.8 – Total Pleiades H3598 Job.9.9; 38.31; Amo.5.8 3 @Briefest= @Brief= A star cluster mentioned as a display of God's power @Short= The Pleiades are a star cluster mentioned in Job.9.9 and 38:31 as a display of God's creative power and in Amo.5.8 as evidence of God's control over the natural world. @Article= The Pleiades are mentioned in three passages in the Bible as an example of God's power and sovereignty over creation. In Job.9.9, they are listed along with the constellations Orion and the Bear as evidence of God's mighty works in the heavens. Later, in Job.38.31, God challenges Job by asking if he can bind the chains of the Pleiades or loose the cords of Orion, emphasizing the contrast between divine omnipotence and human limitations. The prophet Amos also mentions the Pleiades in Amo.5.8, where he describes God as the One who made the Pleiades and Orion, and who controls the cycle of day and night and the waters of the earth. These references to the Pleiades serve to highlight God's creative power, wisdom, and sovereign rule over the universe. $========== OTHER Preparation_Festival@Mat.27.62-Jhn=G3904 Name of a festival > #A day of Preparation (παρασκευή) before a major festival – Named Preparation_Festival@Mat.27.62-Jhn G3904«G3904=παρασκευή Preparation https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Preparation*|reference=Mat.27.62;Mrk.15.42;Luk.23.54;Jhn.19.14;Jhn.19.31;Jhn.19.31;Jhn.19.42 Mat.27.62; Mrk.15.42; Luk.23.54; Jhn.19.14; Jhn.19.31a; Jhn.19.31b; Jhn.19.42 – Total Preparation Festival G3904 Mat.27.62; Mrk.15.42; Luk.23.54; Jhn.19.14,31,31,42 7 @Briefest= @Brief= The day before the Sabbath or Passover @Short= The day of Preparation was the day before the Sabbath (Mrk.15.42; Luke 23:54) or the day before the Passover (Jhn.19.14, 31, 42). @Article= The day of Preparation, also known as Preparation Day, is mentioned in all four Gospels in connection with the day of Jesus's crucifixion. It was the day before the Sabbath (Mrk.15.42; Luke 23:54) and the day on which preparations were made for the Sabbath rest. In John's Gospel, the day of Preparation is also associated with the Passover, as it was the day before the Passover feast (Jhn.19.14, 31, 42). Jesus was crucified on the day of Preparation and hastily buried before the Sabbath began at sundown (Matthew 27:62; Luke 23:54; Jhn.19.42). The Gospel writers' mention of the day of Preparation helps to clarify the timeline of events surrounding Jesus's death and resurrection and underscores the urgency of His burial before the Sabbath. $========== OTHER Purim@Est.3.7-=H6332 Name of a feastival > #Name of a feastival;

The name "Purim" is derived from the Persian word "pur," meaning "lot," referring to the lots cast by Haman to determine the day on which to destroy the Jews (Esther 3:7; 9:24, 26). However, through the courageous intervention of Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai, the Jews were delivered from Haman's evil plot, and Haman and his sons were hanged on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai (Esther 7:10; 9:25). ¶Following this great deliverance, Mordecai and Esther instituted the festival of Purim to commemorate these events (Esther 9:20-22). The celebration was to be observed annually on the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar with feasting, rejoicing, and sending gifts to one another and to the poor (Esther 9:22, 28-32). The book of Esther was to be read during this festival as a reminder of God's providential care for His people (Esther 9:27, 28). The establishment of Purim as a lasting ordinance ensured that the memory of the Jews' deliverance would be preserved for future generations (Esther 9:28). $========== OTHER Raca@Mat.5.22=G4469 Title of disrespect > #Title of disrespect; called Raca (ῥακά) – Named Raca@Mat.5.22 G4469«G4469=ῥακά fool (KJV, NIV= Raca) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=fool*|reference=Mat.5.22 Mat.5.22 – Total Raca G4469 Mat.5.22; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= An Aramaic term of contempt meaning "empty-headed" @Short= Raca is an Aramaic term of contempt, meaning "empty-headed" or "foolish," which Jesus warned against using to insult others, equating it with murder (Matthew 5:22). @Article= Raca is an Aramaic term of contempt that appears only once in the Bible, in Matthew 5:22. It comes from the Aramaic word "reqa," meaning "empty-headed," "worthless," or "foolish." In this passage, Jesus warns that anyone who uses this insulting term against another person will be subject to judgment, equating it with murder. He emphasizes that the use of such disparaging language comes from an angry and murderous heart, which God will judge. The severity of the punishment Jesus describes underscores the seriousness of using contemptuous language and the importance of treating others with respect. Jesus' teaching on this matter highlights the deeper, spiritual meaning of the law against murder, showing that God is concerned not only with outward actions but also with the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. $========== OTHER Rahab@Job.9.13-Isa=H7294 A monster > #A monster; called Rahab (רַ֫הַב) – Named Rahab@Job.9.13-Isa H7294«H7294=רַ֫הַב Rahab https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Rahab*|reference=Job.9.13;Job.26.12;Psa.89.10;Isa.51.9 Job.9.13; Job.26.12; Psa.89.10; Isa.51.9 – Total Rahab H7294 Job.9.13; 26.12; Psa.89.10; Isa.51.9 4 @Briefest= @Brief= A poetic name for Egypt, representing a mythical sea monster @Short= Rahab is a poetic name for Egypt, often represented as a mythical sea monster that God defeated, symbolizing His power over the nations (Psalm 89:10; Isaiah 51:9). @Article= Rahab is a poetic name used in the Old Testament to refer to Egypt, often represented as a mythical sea monster or dragon. The name Rahab means "proud" or "arrogant" in Hebrew. In Job.9.13 and 26:12, Rahab is mentioned in the context of God's power over creation and His ability to subdue the forces of chaos. In Psalm 89:10, God is praised for crushing Rahab and scattering His enemies, using the defeat of this sea monster as a metaphor for His triumph over the nations. Similarly, in Isaiah 51:9, the prophet calls upon God to awaken and defeat Rahab as He did in ancient times, using this imagery to plead for God's intervention on behalf of His people. The use of Rahab as a poetic name for Egypt emphasizes the nation's pride and opposition to God, while also highlighting God's supreme power and authority over all earthly powers. $========== OTHER Rephan@Act.7.43=G4481 A male deity in the Old Testament > #A male deity in the Old Testament;

In Stephen's speech before the Sanhedrin, he recounts Israel's history of idolatry and disobedience, citing Amo.5.25-27. In this passage, God rebukes the Israelites for offering sacrifices to false gods, including "the star of your god Rephan," during the forty years in the wilderness. As a result of their idolatry, God declares that He will send them into exile beyond Babylon. The name Rephan is believed to be a reference to the Assyrian-Babylonian god of the planet Saturn, also known as Chiun or Kaiwan. Stephen's mention of Rephan serves to highlight Israel's recurring pattern of unfaithfulness to God and their persistent tendency to turn to idolatry, despite God's gracious deliverance and provision for them. $========== OTHER Rimmon@2Ki.5.18=H7417A A male deity in the Old Testament > #A male deity in the Old Testament; called Rimmon (רִמּוֹן) – Named Rimmon@2Ki.5.18 H7417A«H7417a=רִמּוֹן Rimmon https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Rimmon*|reference=2Ki.5.18;2Ki.5.18;2Ki.5.18 2Ki.5.18a; 2Ki.5.18b; 2Ki.5.18c – Total Rimmon H7417A 2Ki.5.18; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A Syrian deity worshipped by Naaman @Short= Rimmon was a Syrian deity worshipped by Naaman, who asked for God's pardon for bowing down in Rimmon's temple (2Ki.5.18). @Article= Rimmon is mentioned in 2Ki.5.18 as a Syrian deity worshipped by Naaman, the commander of the army of the king of Syria. After being healed of his leprosy by the prophet Elisha, Naaman acknowledges the God of Israel as the one true God and pledges to offer sacrifices only to Him. However, he asks for God's pardon in advance for one exception: when his master, the king of Syria, goes into the temple of Rimmon to worship and leans on Naaman's hand, causing Naaman to bow down in the temple. Naaman asks for God's understanding in this matter, recognizing the potential conflict between his newfound faith and his duties in the Syrian court. Elisha's response, "Go in peace," suggests that God is merciful and understands Naaman's situation. The mention of Rimmon provides insight into the polytheistic religious context of ancient Syria and highlights the challenges faced by those who converted to faith in the God of Israel while living in pagan societies. $========== OTHER Sabbath@Exo.16.23-Heb=H7676 Name of a feastival > #Name of a feastival;

The word "Sabbath" comes from the Hebrew word "shabbat," meaning "to cease" or "to rest." The observance of the Sabbath was instituted by God at creation (Genesis 2:2-3) and later codified in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:8-11). ¶On the Sabbath, the Israelites were to refrain from all work and dedicate the day to God (Exodus 31:14-15; Leviticus 23:3). The Sabbath was a sign of the covenant between God and Israel, reminding them of their deliverance from slavery in Egypt (Deu.5.15). Specific regulations governed Sabbath observance, such as the prohibition of kindling a fire (Exodus 35:3) and the requirement to prepare food in advance (Exodus 16:23). ¶In the New Testament, Jesus affirmed the Sabbath as a day for doing good and ministering to others (Matthew 12:1-13; Luke 13:10-17). He declared Himself the Lord of the Sabbath (Matthew 12:8) and taught that the Sabbath was made for man's benefit (Mrk.2.27). After Jesus' resurrection, the early church began to gather on the first day of the week, Sunday, to commemorate His resurrection (Act.20.7; 1Co.16.2). ¶The Sabbath remains an important concept in Christian theology, with some denominations continuing to observe the seventh-day Sabbath, while others view Sunday as a day of rest and worship. The principle of setting apart time for rest and devotion to God continues to be an essential aspect of Christian faith and practice. $========== OTHER Sadducee@Mat.3.7-Act=G4523 Religious group in the New Testament > #Religious group in the New Testament; called Sadducee (Σαδδουκαῖος) – Named Sadducee@Mat.3.7-Act G4523«G4523=Σαδδουκαῖος Sadducee https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Sadducee*|reference=Mat.3.7;Mat.16.1;Mat.16.6;Mat.16.11;Mat.16.12;Mat.22.23;Mat.22.34;Mrk.12.18;Luk.20.27;Act.4.1;Act.5.17;Act.23.6;Act.23.7;Act.23.8 Mat.3.7; Mat.16.1; Mat.16.6; Mat.16.11; Mat.16.12; Mat.22.23; Mat.22.34; Mrk.12.18; Luk.20.27; Act.4.1; Act.5.17; Act.23.6; Act.23.7; Act.23.8 – Total Sadducee G4523 Mat.3.7; 16.1,6,11,12; 22.23,34; Mrk.12.18; Luk.20.27; Act.4.1; 5.17; 23.6,7,8 14 @Briefest= @Brief= A Jewish sect that denied the resurrection and spirits @Short= The Sadducees were a Jewish sect that denied the resurrection, angels, and spirits, and often clashed with Jesus and the early church (Matthew 22:23; Act.23.6-8). @Article= The Sadducees were a Jewish sect active during the Second Temple period and in the time of Jesus Christ. They were known for their strict adherence to the written Torah and their rejection of oral traditions upheld by the Pharisees. The Sadducees did not believe in the resurrection of the dead, the existence of angels, or spirits (Act.23.8). They were often associated with the wealthy and politically influential classes, including the high priestly families. ¶In the Gospels, the Sadducees are portrayed as opponents of Jesus, challenging Him on the issue of the resurrection (Matthew 22:23-33; Mrk.12.18-27; Luke 20:27-40). Jesus refuted their arguments using Scripture, demonstrating that the resurrection is affirmed in the Torah. The Sadducees also joined forces with the Pharisees to oppose the early Christian church (Act.4.1; 5:17). ¶The apostle Paul, when brought before the Sanhedrin, cleverly exploited the theological differences between the Pharisees and Sadducees to divide his opponents (Act.23.6-10). The Sadducees' denial of the resurrection and the supernatural realm put them at odds with the core teachings of Christianity. Following the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD, the Sadducees faded from history, while the Pharisaic tradition continued to shape the development of Rabbinic Judaism. $========== OTHER Satan@Deu.13.13-Rev=H7854 An angel in the Old Testament > #An angel in the Old Testament;

Matthew 4:1-11; Revelation 12:9). @Article= Satan, also known as the devil, is the chief adversary of God and the tempter of humanity. The name "Satan" comes from the Hebrew word meaning "adversary" or "accuser." He is portrayed as a spiritual being who opposes God's purposes and seeks to lead people into sin and destruction. ¶In the Old Testament, Satan appears as an accuser in the heavenly court (Job.1.6-12; 2:1-7; Zechariah 3:1-2). He challenges the integrity of Job and receives permission from God to test him. The Old Testament also uses the term "satan" or "adversary" to describe human opponents or obstacles (1Sa.29.4; 2Sa.19.22; 1Ki.5.4). ¶In the New Testament, Satan is identified as the tempter of Jesus (Matthew 4:1-11; Mrk.1.13; Luke 4:1-13), the oppressor of God's people (Luke 13:16; Act.10.38), and the deceiver of the world (Revelation 12:9; 20:3, 8). He is also called the "ruler of this world" (Jhn.12.31; 14:30; 16:11) and the "god of this age" (2Co.4.4). ¶Jesus defeated Satan through His death and resurrection (Hebrews 2:14; 1Jn.3.8), and believers are called to resist him (Jam.4.7; 1Pe.5.8-9). The New Testament portrays Satan as a real and active spiritual adversary, but one whose power is limited and whose ultimate defeat is assured (Romans 16:20; Revelation 20:10). ¶Other names for Satan include Beelzebub (Matthew 10:25; 12:24-27), Belial (2Co.6.15), and the serpent (Revelation 12:9; 20:2). These names highlight his role as the leader of demons, the personification of evil, and the deceiver of humanity. $========== OTHER Selah@Psa.3.2-Hab=H5542 A musical term > #A musical term; called Selah (סֶ֫לָה) – Named Selah@Psa.3.2-Hab H5542«H5542=סֶ֫לָה Selah https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Selah*|reference=Psa.3.2;Psa.3.4;Psa.3.8;Psa.4.2;Psa.4.4;Psa.7.5;Psa.9.16;Psa.9.20;Psa.20.3;Psa.21.2;Psa.24.6;Psa.24.10;Psa.32.4;Psa.32.5;Psa.32.7;Psa.39.5;Psa.39.11;Psa.44.8;Psa.46.3;Psa.46.7;Psa.46.11;Psa.47.4;Psa.48.8;Psa.49.13;Psa.49.15;Psa.50.6;Psa.52.3;Psa.52.5;Psa.54.3;Psa.55.7;Psa.55.19;Psa.57.3;Psa.57.6;Psa.59.5;Psa.59.13;Psa.60.4;Psa.61.4;Psa.62.4;Psa.62.8;Psa.66.4 Psa.3.2; Psa.3.4; Psa.3.8; Psa.4.2; Psa.4.4; Psa.7.5; Psa.9.16; Psa.9.20; Psa.20.3; Psa.21.2; Psa.24.6; Psa.24.10; Psa.32.4; Psa.32.5; Psa.32.7; Psa.39.5; Psa.39.11; Psa.44.8; Psa.46.3; Psa.46.7; Psa.46.11; Psa.47.4; Psa.48.8; Psa.49.13; Psa.49.15; Psa.50.6; Psa.52.3; Psa.52.5; Psa.54.3; Psa.55.7; Psa.55.19; Psa.57.3; Psa.57.6; Psa.59.5; Psa.59.13; Psa.60.4; Psa.61.4; Psa.62.4; Psa.62.8; Psa.66.4; Psa.66.7; Psa.66.15; Psa.67.1; Psa.67.4; Psa.68.7; Psa.68.19; Psa.68.32; Psa.75.3; Psa.76.3; Psa.76.9; Psa.77.3; Psa.77.9; Psa.77.15; Psa.81.7; Psa.82.2; Psa.83.8; Psa.84.4; Psa.84.8; Psa.85.2; Psa.87.3; Psa.87.6; Psa.88.7; Psa.88.10; Psa.89.4; Psa.89.37; Psa.89.45; Psa.89.48; Psa.140.3; Psa.140.5; Psa.140.8; Psa.143.6; Hab.3.3; Hab.3.9; Hab.3.13 – Total Selah H5542 Psa.3.2; Psa.3.4,8; 4.2,4; 7.5; 9.16,20; 20.3; 21.2; 24.6,10; 32.4,5,7; 39.5,11; 44.8; 46.3,7,11; 47.4; 48.8; 49.13,15; 50.6; 52.3,5; 54.3; 55.7,19; 57.3,6; 59.5,13; 60.4; 61.4; 62.4,8; 66.4,7,15; 67.1,4; 68.7,19,32; 75.3; 76.3,9; 77.3,9,15; 81.7; 82.2; 83.8; 84.4,8; 85.2; 87.3,6; 88.7,10; 89.4,37,45,48; 140.3,5,8; 143.6; Hab.3.3,9,13 74 @Briefest= @Brief= A musical or liturgical term of uncertain meaning @Short= Selah is a term frequently used in the Psalms and Habakkuk, likely a musical or liturgical direction, though its precise meaning is uncertain (Psalm 3:2, 4, 8; Habakkuk 3:3, 9, 13). @Article= Selah is a term that appears frequently in the Psalms and three times in the book of Habakkuk. It is likely a musical or liturgical direction, though its precise meaning is uncertain. The term "selah" is transliterated from the Hebrew and appears 71 times in the Psalms and 3 times in Habakkuk. ¶Selah often appears at the end of a verse or section, suggesting that it may have been used to indicate a pause, a musical interlude, or a call to reflect on the preceding words. Some scholars propose that it may have signaled a change in the musical accompaniment or a moment for the congregation to respond. ¶The Septuagint, the ancient Greek translation of the Old Testament, often translates "selah" as "diapsalma," which means "pause" or "interlude." However, the exact meaning and function of the term remain unclear. ¶Despite the uncertainty surrounding its precise meaning, the use of selah in the Psalms and Habakkuk suggests that it served an important role in the worship and liturgical practices of ancient Israel. Its presence in these texts highlights the musical and meditative nature of these passages, inviting the reader or listener to pause and reflect on the message being conveyed. $========== OTHER Shebat@Zec.1.7=H7627 Name of the 11th month > #Name of the 11th month; called Shebat (שְׁבָט) – Named Shebat@Zec.1.7 H7627«H7627=שְׁבָט Shebat https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Shebat*|reference=Zec.1.7 Zec.1.7 – Total Shebat H7627 Zec.1.7; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= The eleventh month of the Jewish calendar @Short= Shebat is the eleventh month of the Jewish calendar, mentioned in Zechariah 1:7 as the date of one of the prophet's visions. @Article= Shebat is the name of the eleventh month in the Jewish calendar, corresponding to January-February in the Gregorian calendar. It is a winter month and usually consists of 30 days. ¶The month of Shebat is mentioned once in the Bible, in Zechariah 1:7. In this passage, the prophet Zechariah receives a series of visions on the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, which is the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius. This date serves as a temporal marker for the divine revelations given to Zechariah. ¶In later Jewish tradition, the fifteenth day of Shebat, known as Tu BiShvat, became a minor festival celebrating the "New Year of the Trees." This date was significant for determining the age of trees for the purpose of tithing and other agricultural laws. ¶Apart from the single reference in Zechariah, the month of Shebat does not play a prominent role in the biblical narrative. Its mention in this passage helps to situate Zechariah's prophetic ministry within the historical context of the postexilic period and the reign of the Persian king Darius. $========== OTHER Sheminith@1Ch.15.21-Psa=H8067 A musical term > #A musical term; called Sheminith (שְׁמִינִית) – Named Sheminith@1Ch.15.21-Psa H8067«H8067=שְׁמִינִית Sheminith https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Sheminith*|reference=1Ch.15.21;Psa.6.1;Psa.12.1 1Ch.15.21; Psa.6.1; Psa.12.1 – Total Sheminith H8067 1Ch.15.21; Psa.6.1; 12.1 3 @Briefest= @Brief= A musical term of uncertain meaning @Short= Sheminith is a musical term that appears in the titles of Psalms 6 and 12, and in 1Ch.15.21, possibly referring to a musical instrument, a part in music, or a melody. @Article= Sheminith is a musical term that appears three times in the Bible, in the titles of Psalms 6 and 12, and in 1Ch.15.21. Its exact meaning is uncertain, and various interpretations have been proposed. Some suggest that it refers to an eight-stringed instrument, such as a harp or lyre. Others propose that it denotes a musical part, perhaps the lowest or bass part. Another possibility is that Sheminith refers to a specific melody or musical mode. ¶In 1Ch.15.21, Sheminith is mentioned in the context of King David's organization of Levite musicians to accompany the transportation of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. The passage states that certain musicians played harps "according to Alamoth," while others played lyres "according to Sheminith." This suggests that Sheminith may have been a musical term indicating a particular arrangement, tuning, or style of playing the lyres. ¶The use of Sheminith in the titles of Psalms 6 and 12 may indicate that these psalms were intended to be sung or played according to this specific musical arrangement or accompaniment. However, due to the lack of detailed information about ancient Israelite music, the precise meaning and application of Sheminith remain uncertain. $========== OTHER Shibboleth@Jdg.12.6=H7641H Word used as a password > #Word used as a password sounded Shibboleth (שִׁבֹּ֫לֶת) – Named Shibboleth@Jdg.12.6 H7641H«H7641a=שִׁבֹּ֫לֶת Shibboleth https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Shibboleth*|reference=Jdg.12.6 Jdg.12.6 – Total Shibboleth H7641H Jdg.12.6; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A Hebrew word used to identify Ephraimites @Short= Shibboleth was a Hebrew word used by the Gileadites to identify Ephraimites, who could not pronounce it correctly, resulting in the death of 42,000 Ephraimites (Judges 12:6). @Article= Shibboleth is a Hebrew word that appears in the Bible in the context of a conflict between the Gileadites and the Ephraimites, as recorded in Judges 12:1-6. After the Gileadites, under the leadership of Jephthah, defeated the Ammonites, the Ephraimites confronted Jephthah and accused him of not including them in the battle. This led to a violent conflict between the two Israelite tribes. ¶To identify the fleeing Ephraimites, the Gileadites used the word "Shibboleth" as a test. They asked each person attempting to cross the Jordan River to say "Shibboleth." The Ephraimites, due to their dialect, could not pronounce the word correctly and instead said "Sibboleth." This linguistic difference allowed the Gileadites to identify and kill 42,000 Ephraimites. ¶The word "Shibboleth" itself is not significant in its meaning; it is thought to refer to an ear of grain or a flowing stream. However, its use in this narrative highlights the linguistic and tribal differences among the Israelites and the deadly consequences of such divisions. ¶The term "shibboleth" has since entered the English language as a word referring to a custom, phrase, or belief that distinguishes one group from another, often used as a test of membership or loyalty. $========== OTHER Shiggaion@Psa.7.1=H7692G A musical term > #A musical term; called Shiggaion (שִׁגָּיוֹן) – Named Shiggaion@Psa.7.1 H7692G«H7692=שִׁגָּיוֹן Shiggaion https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Shiggaion*|reference=Psa.7.1 Psa.7.1 – Total Shiggaion H7692G Psa.7.1; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A musical term in the title of Psalm 7 @Short= Shiggaion is a musical term that appears in the title of Psalm 7, possibly indicating a specific style or genre of music. @Article= Shiggaion is a musical term that appears in the title of Psalm 7, which reads, "A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite."

Others propose that it could indicate a particular type of musical accompaniment or instrumentation. ¶The context of Psalm 7 provides some insight into the possible meaning of Shiggaion. In this psalm, David passionately pleads for God's protection and justice against the accusations and attacks of his enemies. The psalm is characterized by strong emotions, vivid imagery, and a sense of urgency.

Some scholars suggest that both terms may refer to a specific style or genre of music, possibly associated with lamentation, intense emotion, or ecstatic expression. ¶The context of Habakkuk's prayer provides some insight into the possible meaning of Shigionoth.

Therefore, Shigionoth may denote a musical style that complements and enhances the passionate and prophetic nature of Habakkuk's prayer. ¶However, due to the limited information available, the precise meaning and application of Shigionoth in biblical music remain uncertain. $========== OTHER Shimeathite@1Ch.2.55=H8101 Scribal group in the Old Testament > #Scribal group in the Old Testament; called Shimeathite (שִׁמְעָתִים) – Named Shimeathite@1Ch.2.55 H8101«H8101=שִׁמְעָתִים Shimeathite https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Shimeathite*|reference=1Ch.2.55 1Ch.2.55 – Total Shimeathite H8101 1Ch.2.55; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A Kenite clan skilled in scribal arts @Short= The Shimeathites were a Kenite clan known for their scribal skills, mentioned in 1Ch.2.55 among the descendants of Salma. @Article= The Shimeathites are mentioned briefly in 1Ch.2.55 as one of the Kenite clans who were descendants of Salma, the father (ie founder) of Bethlehem. The passage states, "The clans of scribes who lived at Jabez were the Tirathites, the Shimeathites, and the Sucathites. These were the Kenites who came from Hammath, the father of the house of Rechab." ¶This verse suggests that the Shimeathites, along with the Tirathites and Sucathites, were Kenite clans known for their scribal skills. Scribes in ancient Israel were responsible for writing, copying, and interpreting documents, including religious texts and legal contracts. The mention of these clans living in Jabez, a town associated with the Kenites, indicates that they may have been recognized for their expertise in this profession. ¶The Kenites were a nomadic tribe closely associated with the Israelites, known for their metalworking and scribal abilities.

A Miktam of David; for instruction; when he strove with Aram-naharaim and with Aram-zobah, and when Joab on his return struck down twelve thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt." The meaning of Shushan Eduth is not entirely clear, but it is generally understood as a musical or liturgical term. ¶The phrase "Shushan Eduth" can be translated as "Lily of the Testimony" or "Lily of the Covenant." Some scholars suggest that it may refer to a specific melody or musical setting to which the psalm was to be sung. Others propose that it could be a symbolic reference to the beauty and delicacy of God's covenant with His people, using the lily as a metaphor. ¶The context of Psalm 60 provides some insight into the possible significance of Shushan Eduth. The psalm is attributed to David and is described as a Miktam, a term possibly indicating a specific type of psalm or musical composition. The historical background mentioned in the title refers to David's military victories over Aram and Edom. In the psalm itself, David expresses his trust in God's help and guidance despite the challenges and setbacks faced by the nation. ¶However, due to the limited information available, the precise meaning and application of Shushan Eduth in the context of Psalm 60 and biblical music remain uncertain. $========== OTHER Sikkuth@Amo.5.26=H5522 A male deity in the Old Testament > #A male deity in the Old Testament; called Sikkuth (סִכּוּת) – Named Sikkuth@Amo.5.26 H5522«H5522=סִכּוּת Sikkuth (KJV= tabernacle; NIV= shrine) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Sikkuth*|reference=Amo.5.26 Amo.5.26 – Total Sikkuth H5522 Amo.5.26; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A pagan deity worshipped by the Israelites @Short= Sikkuth, possibly an Assyrian deity, was one of the pagan gods worshipped by the Israelites, for which they were condemned to exile (Amo.5.26). @Article= Sikkuth is mentioned in Amo.5.26 as one of the pagan deities worshipped by the Israelites during a period of religious unfaithfulness. The verse reads, "You shall take up Sikkuth your king, and Kiyyun your star-god—your images that you made for yourselves." This passage is part of a prophetic rebuke by Amos, who condemns the Israelites for their idolatry and social injustice. ¶The exact identity of Sikkuth is uncertain, but some scholars suggest that it may refer to an Assyrian deity, possibly associated with the planet Saturn. The name Sikkuth is thought to be derived from the Akkadian word "sakkut," which means "tent" or "shrine." This could indicate that Sikkuth was a deity worshipped in a portable shrine or tent-like structure. ¶The worship of Sikkuth, along with other pagan deities like Kiyyun, was a violation of the covenant between God and Israel, which prohibited the worship of other gods (Exodus 20:3-4). Amos's message warns the Israelites that their idolatry and disobedience would lead to judgment and exile. ¶The mention of Sikkuth in Amo.5.26 highlights the recurring problem of syncretism and idolatry in Israel's history, as the people often adopted the religious practices of the surrounding nations. This passage serves as a reminder of the importance of exclusive devotion to the one true God and the consequences of turning away from Him. $========== OTHER Sivan@Est.8.9=H5510 Name of the 3rd month > #Name of the 3rd month; called Sivan (סִיוָן) – Named Sivan@Est.8.9 H5510«H5510=סִיוָן Sivan https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Sivan*|reference=Est.8.9 Est.8.9 – Total Sivan H5510 Est.8.9; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= The third month of the Jewish calendar @Short= Sivan is the third month of the Jewish calendar, mentioned in Esther 8:9 as the month in which Mordecai's decree was written and sent to the provinces. @Article= Sivan is the name of the third month in the Jewish calendar, corresponding to May-June in the Gregorian calendar. It is a spring month and usually consists of 30 days. ¶The month of Sivan is mentioned once in the Bible, in Esther 8:9. In this passage, after the downfall of Haman and the elevation of Mordecai, King Ahasuerus allows Mordecai and Esther to issue a decree to counter Haman's earlier edict, which had ordered the destruction of the Jews. The new decree was written on the twenty-third day of Sivan, allowing the Jews to defend themselves against their enemies. ¶In later Jewish tradition, the festival of Shavuot (Pentecost) is celebrated on the sixth day of Sivan. This festival commemorates the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai and the harvest season. ¶Apart from the single reference in Esther, the month of Sivan does not play a prominent role in the biblical narrative. Its mention in this passage helps to situate the events of the book of Esther within the Persian calendar and highlights the significance of the Jews' deliverance from Haman's plot. $========== OTHER Stoic@Act.17.18=G4770 Philosophical group in the New Testament > #Philosophical group in the New Testament; called Stoic (Στωϊκός) – Named Stoic@Act.17.18 G4770«G4770=Στωϊκός Stoic https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Stoic*|reference=Act.17.18 Act.17.18 – Total Stoic G4770 Act.17.18; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A Greek philosophical school encountered by Paul in Athens @Short= The Stoics were a Greek philosophical school that emphasized reason, self-control, and the acceptance of fate, some of whom debated with Paul in Athens (Act.17.18). @Article= The Stoics were a Greek philosophical school founded by Zeno of Citium in the early 3rd century BC. They are mentioned in Act.17.18 as one of the groups that the apostle Paul encountered and debated with during his visit to Athens. ¶Stoicism emphasized the importance of reason, self-control, and the acceptance of one's fate. Stoics believed in a divine, rational principle (logos) that governed the universe and that human beings should strive to live in accordance with this principle. They taught that the path to happiness and fulfillment was through virtue, wisdom, and the control of one's emotions and desires. ¶In Acts 17, Paul addresses a gathering of Athenian philosophers, including Stoics and Epicureans, at the Areopagus. Some of the Stoics initially dismissed Paul's teachings as "babbling" and mocked his proclamation of the resurrection of Jesus. However, others were intrigued and wanted to hear more, leading to Paul's famous speech about the "Unknown God" and the nature of the true God who created the world and calls all people to repentance. ¶The mention of the Stoics in Acts 17 highlights the intellectual and philosophical climate of ancient Athens and the challenges faced by early Christian missionaries in presenting the gospel message to a diverse and skeptical audience. Paul's engagement with the Stoics and other philosophical schools demonstrates his ability to contextualize the Christian message and to use reason and persuasion to communicate the truth of the gospel. $========== OTHER Sucathite@1Ch.2.55=H7756 Scribal group in the Old Testament > #Scribal group in the Old Testament; called Sucathite (שׂוּכָתִים) – Named Sucathite@1Ch.2.55 H7756«H7756=שׂוּכָתִים Sucathite https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Sucathite*|reference=1Ch.2.55 1Ch.2.55 – Total Sucathite H7756 1Ch.2.55; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A Kenite clan skilled in scribal arts @Short= The Sucathites were a Kenite clan known for their scribal skills, mentioned in 1Ch.2.55 among the descendants of Salma. @Article= The Sucathites are mentioned briefly in 1Ch.2.55 as one of the Kenite clans who were descendants of Salma, the father (ie founder) of Bethlehem.

The verse states, "The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima." ¶The name Succoth-benoth is believed to be derived from the Akkadian words "sakkut" (meaning "tent" or "shrine") and "banitu" (meaning "daughters"). This suggests that Succoth-benoth may have been a deity associated with a specific shrine or temple, possibly involving the worship of female deities or priestesses. ¶The worship of Succoth-benoth, along with other foreign deities, was practiced by the Sepharvites in Samaria alongside the worship of the Lord (2Ki.17.33). This syncretistic religious practice was condemned by the biblical authors, who emphasized the importance of exclusive devotion to the God of Israel. ¶The mention of Succoth-benoth in 2 Kings 17 highlights the religious and cultural challenges faced by the Israelites living in Samaria after the Assyrian conquest, as they were influenced by the religious practices of the foreign peoples settled among them.

In a vision, Ezekiel is shown the various abominations and idolatrous practices taking place in the temple, including the worship of Tammuz. ¶The verse states, "Then he brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the Lord, and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz." This description suggests that the women were engaged in a ritual mourning ceremony for Tammuz, likely associated with the Mesopotamian myth of the dying and rising god. ¶In Mesopotamian mythology, Tammuz (also known as Dumuzi) was the god of shepherds and vegetation. He was believed to die each year, descending to the underworld, and then be resurrected, symbolizing the cycle of death and rebirth in nature. The worship of Tammuz often involved ritual mourning by women, who lamented his death and celebrated his resurrection. ¶The presence of women mourning for Tammuz in the Jerusalem temple was a clear violation of the commandment to worship only the God of Israel (Exodus 20:3-4). Ezekiel's vision emphasizes the extent to which idolatry had infiltrated the religious life of Judah, even within the sacred precincts of the temple. ¶The mention of Tammuz in Ezekiel 8 serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of syncretism and the importance of maintaining pure worship practices. It also highlights the influence of Mesopotamian religious beliefs and practices on the Israelites, particularly during times of spiritual decline. $========== OTHER Tarpelite@Ezr.4.9=H2967 Word sometimes translated as a title > #Word sometimes translated as a title; called Tarpelite (טַרְפְּלָיֵא) – Named officials|Tarpelite@Ezr.4.9 H2967«H2967=טַרְפְּלָיֵא officials (KJV= Tarpelite; NIV= administrators) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=officials*|reference=Ezr.4.9 Ezr.4.9 – Total Tarpelite H2967 Ezr.4.9; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= A group of officials in the Persian Empire @Short= The Tarpelites were a group of officials in the Persian Empire who opposed the rebuilding of Jerusalem during the time of Ezra (Ezra 4:9). @Article= The Tarpelites are mentioned in Ezra 4:9 as one of the groups that opposed the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the temple during the time of Ezra.

The Tarpelites are included in this list of officials and ethnic groups from various parts of the Persian Empire. ¶The exact identity and role of the Tarpelites are not specified in the biblical text. Some scholars suggest that they may have been a specific group of officials or administrators within the Persian bureaucracy, possibly associated with a particular region or ethnic group. ¶The opposition of the Tarpelites and other officials to the rebuilding of Jerusalem reflects the political and social challenges faced by the Jewish community as they sought to reestablish their presence in the land after the Babylonian exile. The letter sent by these officials aimed to halt the reconstruction efforts by appealing to the Persian king's concerns about potential rebellion and the loss of tax revenue. ¶The mention of the Tarpelites in Ezra 4 highlights the complex political landscape of the Persian Empire and the various groups and interests that shaped the experiences of the Jewish community during this period of restoration and rebuilding. $========== OTHER Tartak@2Ki.17.31=H8662 A male deity in the Old Testament > #A male deity in the Old Testament; called Tartak (תַּרְתָּ֑ק) – Named Tartak@2Ki.17.31 H8662«H8662=תַּרְתָּ֑ק Tartak https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Tartak*|reference=2Ki.17.31 2Ki.17.31 – Total Tartak H8662 2Ki.17.31; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= An Avvite deity worshipped in Samaria @Short= Tartak was a deity worshipped by the Avvites, one of the peoples settled in Samaria by the Assyrian king (2Ki.17.31). @Article= Tartak is mentioned in 2Ki.17.31 as one of the deities worshipped by the Avvites, a people group settled in Samaria by the Assyrian king after the deportation of the Israelites.

The verse states, "So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus into his royal palace in the tenth month, which is the month of Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign." ¶The mention of Tebeth in this context helps to establish the timeline of events in the book of Esther and highlights the significant moment when Esther enters the royal palace, setting the stage for her eventual role in saving the Jewish people from Haman's plot. ¶In later Jewish tradition, the tenth of Tebeth is observed as a minor fast day, commemorating the beginning of the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar, which ultimately led to the destruction of the First Temple and the Babylonian exile. $========== OTHER Thummim@Exo.28.30-Neh=H8550 A Jewish oracle > #A Jewish oracle; called Thummim (תֻּמִּים) – Named Thummim@Exo.28.30-Neh H8550«H8550=תֻּמִּים Thummim https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Thummim*|reference=Exo.28.30;Lev.8.8;Deu.33.8;Ezr.2.63;Neh.7.65 Exo.28.30; Lev.8.8; Deu.33.8; Ezr.2.63; Neh.7.65 – Total Thummim H8550 Exo.28.30; Lev.8.8; Deu.33.8; Ezr.2.63; Neh.7.65 5 @Briefest= @Brief= Objects used with the Urim for divine guidance @Short= The Thummim, along with the Urim, were objects carried in the breastpiece of the high priest's ephod and used to seek divine guidance (Exodus 28:30; Numbers 27:21). @Article= The Thummim, along with the Urim, were objects used by the high priest of Israel to seek divine guidance and revelation from God.

It was celebrated seven weeks (fifty days) after Passover (Exodus 34:22, Deu.16.10). The festival marked the end of the grain harvest, particularly the wheat harvest (Exodus 34:22). It was a time to bring offerings to the Lord from the firstfruits of the harvest (Numbers 28:26). The Feast of Weeks also commemorated the giving of the Law to Moses at Mount Sinai, which traditionally occurred fifty days after the Exodus. In later Jewish tradition, it became a celebration of the Torah and God's covenant with Israel. The festival was observed at the Temple in Jerusalem (2Ch.8.13). In the New Testament, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the early Christians occurred on the day of Pentecost (Act.2.1), fifty days after Jesus' resurrection. The apostle Paul also sought to be in Jerusalem for Pentecost during his missionary journeys (Act.20.16, 1Co.16.8). The Feast of Weeks or Pentecost held both agricultural and spiritual significance for the Jewish people, celebrating God's provision and His covenant relationship with them. $========== OTHER Zealot@Mat.10.4-Mrk=G2581 Political group in the New Testament > #Political group in the New Testament; called Zealot (Κανανίτης, Καναναῖος) – Named Zealot@Mat.10.4-Mrk G2581«G2581=Κανανίτης, Καναναῖος Zealot (KJV= Canaanite) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Zealot*|reference=Mat.10.4;Mrk.3.18 Mat.10.4; Mrk.3.18 – Total Zealot G2581 Mat.10.4; Mrk.3.18 2 @Briefest= @Brief= A member of a Jewish political faction @Short= The Zealots were a Jewish political faction known for their fierce opposition to Roman rule and their advocacy for armed resistance (Matthew 10:4; Mrk.3.18). @Article= The Zealots were a Jewish political faction that emerged in the first century AD, known for their fierce opposition to Roman rule over Judea. They advocated for armed resistance against the Romans and sought to establish an independent Jewish state. ¶In the New Testament, the term "Zealot" is used to describe one of Jesus' twelve disciples, Simon the Zealot (Matthew 10:4; Mrk.3.18). This suggests that Simon may have been associated with or sympathetic to the Zealot movement before becoming a follower of Jesus. ¶The Zealots played a significant role in the Jewish Revolt against Rome (AD 66-73), which ultimately led to the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. They were known for their guerrilla warfare tactics and their willingness to engage in violent resistance against the Roman authorities. ¶While the Zealots are not mentioned extensively in the Bible, their presence in the New Testament highlights the complex political and religious landscape of first-century Judea, as well as the diverse backgrounds of Jesus' disciples. $========== OTHER Zeus@Act.14.12-=G2203 A male deity in the New Testament > #A male deity in the New Testament; called Zeus (Ζεύς, Δίς) – Named Zeus@Act.14.12- G2203«G2203=Ζεύς, Δίς Zeus (KJV= Jupiter) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Zeus*|reference=Act.14.12;Act.14.13 Act.14.12; Act.14.13 – Total Zeus G2203 Act.14.12; Act.14.13 2 @Briefest= @Brief= The chief god in Greek mythology @Short= Zeus, the chief god in Greek mythology, was identified with the Roman god Jupiter and was worshipped in Lystra (Act.14.12-13). @Article= Zeus, the chief god in Greek mythology, is mentioned in the New Testament in the context of Paul and Barnabas' visit to the city of Lystra (Act.14.12-13). After Paul healed a man who had been lame from birth, the people of Lystra identified Barnabas with Zeus and Paul with Hermes, believing them to be gods in human form. ¶The priest of Zeus, whose temple was located just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates, intending to offer sacrifices to Paul and Barnabas. However, the apostles tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, urging them not to worship them as gods but to turn to the living God who created the heavens and the earth. ¶This incident highlights the prevalence of polytheistic beliefs in the Greco-Roman world and the challenge that early Christian missionaries faced in proclaiming the message of the one true God. It also demonstrates the apostles' commitment to rejecting any form of idolatry or misplaced worship, even when it was directed towards them. $========== OTHER Ziv@1Ki.6.1-=H2099 Name of the 2nd month > #Name of the 2nd month; called Ziv (זִו) – Named Ziv@1Ki.6.1- H2099«H2099=זִו Ziv (KJV= Zif) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Ziv*|reference=1Ki.6.1;1Ki.6.37 1Ki.6.1; 1Ki.6.37 – Total Ziv H2099 1Ki.6.1,37 2 @Briefest= @Brief= The second month in the ancient Hebrew calendar @Short= Ziv, the second month in the ancient Hebrew calendar, is mentioned in connection with the construction of Solomon's Temple (1Ki.6.1, 37). @Article= Ziv is the name of the second month in the ancient Hebrew calendar, corresponding to the modern months of April-May. It is mentioned in the Old Testament in connection with the construction of Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem. ¶In 1Ki.6.1, we learn that the construction of the Temple began in the fourth year of Solomon's reign, in the month of Ziv. This marked a significant milestone in the history of Israel, as the Temple would become the central place of worship for the Jewish people. ¶Later in the same chapter, 1Ki.6.37 specifies that the foundation of the Temple was laid in the month of Ziv, again emphasizing the importance of this month in the construction process. ¶The name "Ziv" is derived from the Hebrew word for "brightness" or "splendor," which may be a reference to the bright sunlight and the blossoming of flowers that typically occur during this time of year in the region. ¶The mention of Ziv in the context of the Temple's construction highlights the importance of sacred time and the alignment of religious events with the natural cycles of the year in ancient Israelite culture.

The other two languages mentioned were Greek and Hebrew. ¶Latin was the official language of the Roman Empire, which ruled over Judea during the time of Jesus. Its use in the inscription on the cross reflects the political and cultural influence of Rome in the region. ¶The Gospel accounts provide slightly different wordings for the inscription. Luke 23:38 states, "There was also an inscription over him, 'This is the King of the Jews.'" Jhn.19.19-20 gives a more detailed description: "Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It read, 'Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.' Many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and it was written in Aramaic, in Latin, and in Greek." ¶The use of multiple languages in the inscription ensured that a wide audience could read and understand the charge against Jesus. It also highlights the irony of the situation, as the Roman authorities unintentionally proclaimed Jesus' true identity as the King of the Jews, albeit in a mocking manner. ¶The inclusion of Latin in the inscription points to the historical and cultural context of Jesus' crucifixion under Roman rule and serves as a reminder of the political and religious tensions that surrounded His earthly ministry and death. $========== EXCLUDED OTHER Aramaic@2Ki.18.26-Rev=H0762 A language > #A language;

Hebrew is the primary language of the Old Testament, while Aramaic appears in some later texts, such as portions of Ezra and Daniel. ¶In the Old Testament, Hebrew is mentioned as the language of the Israelites (2Ki.18.26; 2Ch.32.18; Isaiah 36:11, 13). It is also referred to as the "language of Judah" (Nehemiah 13:24). Hebrew was the primary language used in religious texts, such as the Torah and the Prophets. ¶Aramaic became increasingly important during the Neo-Assyrian, Neo-Babylonian, and Persian empires. It served as a lingua franca, a common language for communication among various peoples in the ancient Near East. In the Bible, Aramaic appears in some passages, such as Ezra 4:7 and Dan.2.4-7:28. Jesus likely spoke Aramaic, as evidenced by his words on the cross (Mrk.15.34) and the use of Aramaic terms in the New Testament (e.g., "Talitha cumi" in Mrk.5.41). ¶The New Testament also mentions Aramaic in several instances. Aramaic inscriptions were written on the cross of Jesus (Luke 23:38; Jhn.19.20). Some place names in the Gospels, such as Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36) and Golgotha (Jhn.19.17), are derived from Aramaic. The book of Acts records the apostle Paul addressing a crowd in Aramaic (Act.21.40; 22:2) and Jesus speaking to Paul in Aramaic during his conversion experience (Act.26.14). ¶In the book of Revelation, Aramaic terms appear, such as "Abaddon" (Revelation 9:11) and "Armageddon" (Revelation 16:16). These instances demonstrate the continued use and influence of Aramaic in the early Christian era. $========== EXCLUDED OTHER Greek@Isa.66.19-Rev=G1673 A language > #A language;

It was the common language of the eastern Mediterranean region during the time of Jesus and the early church, due to the influence of Alexander the Great's conquests and the subsequent Hellenization of the area. ¶In the New Testament, Greek is specifically mentioned in several passages. In Luke 23:38 and Jhn.19.20, the inscription placed above Jesus' cross during His crucifixion was written in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew, reflecting the languages spoken in Jerusalem at the time. This detail underscores the historical and cultural context of Jesus' death under Roman rule. ¶In Act.21.37, when Paul was arrested in Jerusalem, he surprised the Roman tribune by speaking to him in Greek. This incident demonstrates that Greek was a language commonly used for communication between people of different nationalities and social classes. ¶Revelation 9:11 mentions the name "Apollyon" as the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew name "Abaddon," both meaning "destroyer." This use of Greek in the book of Revelation shows that the language was widely understood among the early Christian communities to whom the book was addressed. ¶The New Testament authors, particularly Paul and the authors of the Gospels, wrote in Greek to make their message accessible to a broad audience. Many of the early Christian converts were Greek-speaking Gentiles, and the use of Greek facilitated the spread of the gospel throughout the Roman Empire. ¶The use of Greek in the New Testament also has significant implications for biblical interpretation and translation. Understanding the nuances and meaning of the Greek text is essential for accurately conveying the message of the New Testament to modern readers. $========== EXCLUDED OTHER Hebrew@2Ki.18.26-Isa=H3066 A language > #A language; called Hebrew (יְהוּדִית) – Named Hebrew@2Ki.18.26-Isa H3066«H3066=יְהוּדִית Hebrew https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Judah*|reference=2Ki.18.26,28;2Ch.32.18;Neh.13.24;Isa.36.11;Isa.36.13 2Ki.18.26; 2Ch.32.18; Neh.13.24; Isa.36.11; Isa.36.13 – Total Hebrew H3066 2Ki.18.26; 2Ch.32.18; Neh.13.24; Isa.36.11,13 5 @Briefest= @Brief= Language spoken by the Jews @Short= Hebrew was the language spoken by the Jews, as evidenced by its use in communication and writings (2Ki.18.26; 2Ch.32.18; Neh.13.24; Isa.36.11, 13). @Article= Hebrew is the language spoken by the Israelites throughout the Old Testament period.

During the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem, the officials of King Hezekiah requested that the Assyrian envoy speak in Aramaic rather than Hebrew, so that the people on the wall would not understand (2Ki.18.26; Isa.36.11).

The word is derived from the Hebrew term "goyim" and the Greek word "ethnos," both meaning "nations." ¶In the Old Testament, God's covenant and promises were primarily focused on the nation of Israel. However, there are numerous prophecies and passages that anticipate the inclusion of Gentiles in God's plan of salvation (Isaiah 11:10; 42:1, 6; 49:6, 22; 54:3; 60:3, 5, 11, 16; 61:6, 9; 62:2; 66:12, 19; Jeremiah 16:19; Malachi 1:11). The Book of Jonah also demonstrates God's concern for the Gentile city of Nineveh. ¶In the New Testament, the inclusion of Gentiles in the church becomes a central theme. Jesus' ministry extends to Gentile regions (Matthew 4:15; 12:18, 21), and He commissions His disciples to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). The apostle Paul, in particular, is called to be an apostle to the Gentiles (Act.9.15; 22:21; 26:17, 20, 23; Romans 11:13; 15:16; Galatians 2:8; Ephesians 3:1, 8; 1Ti.2.7). ¶The inclusion of Gentiles in the church was not without controversy, as seen in the debate over circumcision and adherence to the Mosaic Law (Acts 15). However, the Jerusalem Council affirmed that Gentiles could be saved by grace through faith in Christ, without being required to follow Jewish customs (Act.15.19-20). ¶Throughout the New Testament, the unity of Jewish and Gentile believers in Christ is emphasized (Ephesians 2:11-22; Galatians 3:28; Col.3.11). The mystery of the gospel is revealed, that Gentiles are fellow heirs and members of the same body, partaking of the promise in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 3:6). ¶The inclusion of Gentiles in God's plan of salvation demonstrates the universal scope of His love and grace. It also highlights the importance of unity and equality among believers, regardless of their ethnic or cultural background. $========== EXCLUDED OTHER Asiarch@Act.19.31=G0775 Title of a leader > #Title of a leader; called Asiarch (Ἀσιάρχης) – Named Asiarch@Act.19.31 G0775«G0775=Ἀσιάρχης Asiarch https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Asiarch*|reference=Act.19.31 Act.19.31 – Total Asiarch G0775 Act.19.31; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= High-ranking officials in the Roman province of Asia @Short= The Asiarchs, mentioned in Act.19.31, were high-ranking officials in the Roman province of Asia who had a friendly relationship with Paul. @Article= The Asiarchs, mentioned only once in the Bible (Act.19.31), were high-ranking officials in the Roman province of Asia, which included the city of Ephesus. During Paul's ministry in Ephesus, some of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent him a message urging him not to venture into the theater during the riot stirred up by Demetrius and the silversmiths. ¶The Asiarchs were likely wealthy and influential individuals who were appointed to oversee religious and political matters in the province. They were responsible for organizing and financing public games and festivals in honor of the Roman emperor and the gods. The fact that some of the Asiarchs were friendly to Paul suggests that his message had reached people in high positions and that he had made a positive impact on them. ¶The Asiarchs' warning to Paul demonstrates their concern for his safety and well-being, as they recognized the potential danger he faced from the angry mob in the theater. This brief mention of the Asiarchs in Acts provides insight into the social and political context of Paul's ministry and the diverse group of people he encountered during his travels. $========== EXCLUDED OTHER Candace@Act.8.27=G2582 Title of a leader > #Title of a leader; called Candacé (Κανδάκη) – Named Candace@Act.8.27 G2582«G2582=Κανδάκη Candace (NIV= Kandake) https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Candace*|reference=Act.8.27 Act.8.27 – Total Candace G2582 Act.8.27; 1 @Briefest= @Brief= Queen of Ethiopia, her eunuch met Philip @Short= Candacé, the queen of Ethiopia, is mentioned in Act.8.27 in connection with her eunuch, who was baptized by Philip. @Article= Candacé, mentioned in Act.8.27, was the title given to the queen mother who ruled over the ancient kingdom of Ethiopia (also known as Kush) during the first century AD. The name "Candacé" is derived from the Meroitic word "kdke," which means "queen mother." ¶In the biblical account, a eunuch who served under Candace encountered Philip, one of the seven deacons of the early church, on the road from Jerusalem to Gaza. The eunuch had been to Jerusalem to worship and was reading from the book of Isaiah when Philip approached him. Philip explained the scriptures to the eunuch, preached about Jesus, and baptized him (Act.8.26-39). ¶The fact that the eunuch held a high position in Candace's court suggests that he was a person of influence and authority. His journey to Jerusalem to worship also indicates that he was a proselyte or a God-fearer, a Gentile who believed in the God of Israel but had not fully converted to Judaism. ¶The story of Candace's eunuch is significant because it demonstrates the spread of the gospel to the Gentiles and the fulfillment of Jesus' command to be His witnesses "to the ends of the earth" (Act.1.8). It also highlights the importance of individual evangelism and the role of the Holy Spirit in guiding believers to share the gospel with others. $========== EXCLUDED OTHER Rabbi@Mat.23.7-Jhn=G4461 Title of a leader > #Title of a leader;

The term "Rabbi" literally means "my teacher" or "my master" in Hebrew. In the Gospels, Jesus is often addressed as Rabbi by His disciples and others who recognized His authority as a teacher (Matthew 26:25, 49; Mrk.9.5; 11:21; 14:45; Jhn.1.38, 49; 4:31; 9:2; 11:8). ¶Jesus warned His followers not to seek the title of Rabbi for themselves, as they were all brothers and had one Teacher, the Christ (Matthew 23:7-8). He emphasized the importance of humility and servanthood rather than seeking positions of status and honor. ¶In John's Gospel, the title Rabboni (which means "my teacher" in Aramaic) is used by Mary Magdalene when she recognizes the risen Jesus outside the tomb (Jhn.20.16). This title expresses her deep respect and devotion to Him as her teacher and Lord. ¶The use of the title Rabbi in the Gospels reflects the Jewish cultural context in which Jesus taught and ministered. It also highlights the significant role of religious teachers in Jewish society and the recognition of Jesus as a respected teacher, even by those who did not fully understand His divine identity and mission. $========== EXCLUDED OTHER Seraph@Isa.6.2-=H8314B An angel in the Old Testament > #An angel in the Old Testament; called Seraph (שָׂרָף) – Named Seraph@Isa.6.2- H8314B«H8314b=שָׂרָף Seraph https://www.stepbible.org/?q=version=ESV|version=KJV|text=Seraph*|reference=Isa.6.2;Isa.6.6 Isa.6.2; Isa.6.6 – Total Seraph H8314B Isa.6.2; Isa.6.6 2 @Briefest= @Brief= Angelic beings that attend to God's throne @Short= Seraphim are angelic beings that surround God's throne, each having six wings and praising His holiness (Isaiah 6:2-6). @Article= Seraphim (singular: seraph) are angelic beings mentioned in the book of Isaiah. They are described as attending to God's throne in the heavenly temple. The term "seraphim" comes from the Hebrew word meaning "burning ones," possibly indicating their fiery appearance or their fervent devotion to God. ¶In Isaiah's vision of the Lord's throne room (Isaiah 6:1-7), seraphim are portrayed as having six wings each: two covering their faces, two covering their feet, and two used for flying. They call out to one another, proclaiming the holiness and glory of God, saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!" (Isaiah 6:3). ¶One of the seraphim takes a burning coal from the altar with tongs and touches Isaiah's lips with it, symbolically cleansing him of his sin and guilt (Isaiah 6:6-7). This act prepares Isaiah to respond to God's call and to serve as His prophet. ¶The seraphim's primary role in this passage is to worship God and to serve as agents of purification. Their presence in the heavenly throne room emphasizes the majesty, holiness, and transcendence of God. The seraphim are not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, and their exact nature and relationship to other angelic beings are not elaborated upon in Scripture. $========== EXCLUDED OTHER Teraphim@Gen.31.19-Zec=H8655 Group of deities in the Old Testament > #Group of deities in the Old Testament;

They were often associated with pagan religious practices and were used for divination and worship. In Genesis 31, Rachel stole her father Laban's teraphim when she and her husband Israel (or 'Jacob') fled from Laban's household. This incident suggests that the possession of teraphim was considered valuable and that they may have been used for inheritance rights or protection. ¶In Judges 17-18, a man named Micah created a shrine with an ephod and teraphim, which were later stolen by the Danites and used in their own idolatrous worship. This story highlights the widespread use of teraphim and their association with syncretistic religious practices. ¶The prophet Hosea mentions teraphim in the context of Israel's future restoration, stating that the Israelites will be without king, prince, sacrifice, pillar, ephod, or teraphim (Hosea 3:4). This suggests that the use of teraphim was common during times of spiritual decline and that their absence would be a sign of Israel's return to true worship. ¶Other passages, such as 2Ki.23.24 and Ezk.21.21, condemn the use of teraphim as part of pagan practices that were to be eliminated from Israelite society. The Bible consistently portrays the use of teraphim as a form of idolatry and a violation of the commandment to worship only the one true God. $========== EXCLUDED OTHER Abaddon@Job.26.6-Pro=H0011 A non-physical place > #A non-physical place;

In Job, Abaddon is mentioned alongside Sheol, the grave, as a place that is open before God and from which nothing can be hidden (Job.26.6; 28:22). The psalmist cries out to God, asking if His lovingkindness and faithfulness will be declared in Abaddon (Psa.88.11). In Proverbs, Abaddon is personified along with Sheol, never satisfied and always craving more (Pro.15.11; 27:20).

It is often associated with darkness, stillness, and a place where both the righteous and the unrighteous go after death (Job.17.13; Psalm 89:48; Ecclesiastes 9:10). In some instances, Sheol is described as being located in the depths of the earth (Numbers 16:30, 33; Deu.32.22). ¶The concept of Sheol evolved throughout the Old Testament, with later texts suggesting a distinction between the fate of the righteous and the wicked (Psalm 49:14-15; Proverbs 15:24). However, the Old Testament does not provide a clear, consistent picture of the afterlife, and the idea of Sheol is often used as a metaphor for death and the grave (Psalm 6:5; 88:3; Isaiah 38:18). ¶In the New Testament, the Greek terms Hades (Luke 16:23; Act.2.27, 31; Revelation 1:18; 20:13-14), Gehenna (Matthew 5:22, 29-30; 10:28; Mrk.9.43, 45, 47; Luke 12:5; Jam.3.6), and Tartarus (2Pe.2.4) are used to refer to the realm of the dead or a place of punishment. These terms are often translated as "hell" in English Bibles, but their meanings are not always synonymous with the modern concept of hell as a place of eternal torment. ¶The biblical understanding of Sheol and the afterlife developed over time, with the New Testament providing a clearer picture of the distinction between the fate of the righteous and the wicked. As a Christian, it is essential to interpret the concept of Sheol in light of the fuller revelation of the New Testament, which emphasizes the hope of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ (Jhn.3.16; 11:25-26; 1Co.15.50-57).

List any other names used in ESV as "aka". * Dates before Saul are 2nd M BC and dates before Isaac are 3rd M BC. Don't give any dates to people before Noah. From Saul onwards the timeline at http://biblehub.com/timeline/ works fine. (the point is that there is a big uncertainty about whether the Judges were consecutive or overlapping, so dates before this can differ by 2 centuries). * always list the father and husband/wife if they are known (they occur on the top line of each record - see the intro to the Names dataset). * also, it is worth adding "descended from..." and finding someone significant, such as a tribe or a founder of a nation etc. One useful way of doing this is at http://marshallgenealogy.org/bible/index3.htm which lists the complete genealogy of everyone back to Adam (if possible) But make sure they are talking about the same individual. They may not be as careful about disambiguating names as we are. * when you can't tie them to descendents of note, they probably only occur once or twice, so record the refs instead (as for Besodeiah above) * be as boring as possible when describing the Significance - i.e. try to be repetitive and consistent with what you've used before. dStrong & uStrong numbers used for backward-compatible tagging Tagging using eStrong (which includes numbers ending in "a" or "b" etc) can be updated to differenciated dStrong or un initing uStrong which are both recognised by ending in upper-case letters such as "A", "B" etc) The purpose is to disambiguate those individuals who currently have the same Strong number, such as Adam (H0121G) who shares the same tag as the place called Adam at Jos.3.16, and individuals who share an alternate name with another, such as Jonadab@2Sa.13.3-1Ch=H3122A who is . In EStrong, the person Adam is H0121A and the place is H0121B In most cases a simple Strong (such as H5729 - the place 'Eden') will gain 'A' (H5729A). If there is another place or person using the same Strong number, the less common one becomes "....B", ".....C" etc. These are backward compatible to the simple Strong number. In some cases a name already has an eStrong number (such as H1090a - the woman Bilhah and H1090b - the place Bilhah). These will become their respective upper case (ie H1090A and H1090B) so they are backward compatible to eStrong and simple Strong numbers. Some eStrong numbers are already fully disambiguated eg Dedan@Jer.25.23-Ezk=H1719a; Dedan@Gen.10.7-1Ch=H1719b; Dedan@Gen.25.3-1Ch=H1719c, so these are simply changed to H1719A, H1719B and H1719C to confirm they are disambiguated. Some eStrong numbers are partially disambiguated eg Cush@Gen.2.13-Act=H3568a; Cush@Psa.7.1=H3568b but Cush@Gen.10.6-1Ch=H3568a. In this case the least commonly occuring conflicting name is changed. eg the tag H2608a is used for 15 individuals. One of those, Hananiah@Dan.1.6-, also uses H2608b so he becomes H2608B. The others occur only once or twice each, except for Hananiah@Jer.28.1- so he becomes H2608A. The rest are tagged "C", "D" etc so these are not backward compatible. For 224 of the 35060 instances of names, involving 138 of the 4257 individual names, the resultant EStrong tag is not backward compatible with eStrong, so if this data is used outside of STEPBible, a note would needed at the following 'wrong' eStrong numbers: H0223 « H0223a Uriah@2Ki.16.10-Isa 2Ki.16.10;
