Description
Who was Bilhan?
Bilhan was a member of the tribe of Benjamin, the son of Jediael (1Ch. 7:10). He had seven sons: Jeush, Benjamin, Ehud, Chenaanah, Zethan, Tarshish, and Ahishahar. These sons were described as mighty warriors and heads of their families, indicating their strength, leadership, and importance within the tribe of Benjamin. The genealogy of Benjamin in Chronicles highlights the significance of family lineage and the preservation of tribal records. It also demonstrates the military prowess of the Benjamites, who were known for their skill in battle and their strategic location in the land of 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
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.
