Description
Who was Beriah?
Beriah was a leader from the tribe of Benjamin who, along with his brother Shema, drove out the inhabitants of Gath (1Ch. 8:13). They were the heads of the families living in Aijalon, a city within the territory of Benjamin. This event likely occurred during the period of the judges or the early monarchy, when the Israelites were still establishing their presence in Canaan and facing resistance from the local populations. Beriah and Shema's actions demonstrate the military prowess and leadership of the Benjamites in defending and expanding their territory.
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.
