Description
Who was Ahijah?
Ahijah is mentioned in the Bible as the father of Baasha, who became the third king of Israel after Jeroboam I. Baasha, the son of Ahijah, was from the tribe of Issachar and reigned over Israel for 24 years. (1Ki.15.27,33)
During his reign, Baasha did evil in the sight of the Lord and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, leading Israel into sin. (1Ki.15.34) The prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, prophesied against Baasha and his house, declaring that they would meet a fate similar to that of Jeroboam's house. (1Ki.16.1-4)
Ahijah is mentioned in the context of God's judgment against the house of Baasha, as God declared that He would bring disaster upon Baasha and his house, making it like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. (1Ki.21.22; 2Ki.9.9)
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
