Description
Who was Amaziah?
Amaziah was a priest who served at the sanctuary in Bethel during the reign of Jeroboam II, king of Israel. When the prophet Amos came to Bethel and prophesied against the kingdom of Israel, Amaziah opposed him. He sent a message to King Jeroboam, accusing Amos of conspiracy and claiming that the land could not bear his words. Amaziah also told Amos to flee to the land of Judah, eat bread there, and prophesy there, but not to prophesy anymore at Bethel, as it was the king's sanctuary and a temple of the kingdom. Amos responded by affirming that he was not a professional prophet, but a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore figs, and that the Lord had called him to prophesy to Israel.
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
The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.
