Description
Who was Akkub?
Akkub is mentioned briefly in the genealogy of the royal line of Judah, specifically as a descendant of King Jehoiachin, who was also known as Jeconiah. (1Ch.3.24)
Jehoiachin, the son of King Jehoiakim, reigned in Judah for a short period before being deposed and exiled to Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar. (2Ki.24.8-15) He spent many years in captivity, but later, Evil-merodach, the king of Babylon, released him from prison and showed him favor. (2Ki.25.27-30).
The genealogy in 1Chronicles 3 traces the descendants of Jehoiachin, demonstrating the continuity of the royal lineage even during the Babylonian exile. Akkub is listed among the sons of Elioenai, who was a descendant of Jehoiachin through his son Shealtiel. (1Ch.3.22-24)
Apart from being mentioned in the genealogy, no further details are provided about Akkub's life, his role within the family, or any significant events associated with him.
The inclusion of Akkub in the genealogy serves to document the ongoing lineage of the Davidic dynasty and to highlight the preservation of the royal family's records, even during the challenging period of the Babylonian exile.
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.
