    Description

    Who was Bukkiah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Bukkiah was a Levite musician who served in the temple during the reign of King David (1Chr. 25:4, 13). He was one of the fourteen sons of Heman, the king's seer, who were appointed as musicians in the house of the Lord. Bukkiah and his brothers were skilled in singing and playing musical instruments, and they were responsible for providing music for worship services in the temple. The musicians were divided into twenty-four groups, each serving for a specified period. Bukkiah was the head of the sixth group (1Chr. 25:13). The inclusion of Bukkiah and his family in the lists of temple musicians highlights the importance of music in Israelite worship and the role of the Levites in maintaining the temple's spiritual atmosphere.

    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.

    How the graph connects Bukkiah10 of 23 entities the graph connects to Bukkiah, in 2 groups: kinship 5, events 5. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.HemanChild of · 12 versesEliathahSibling of · 2 versesGiddaltiSibling of · 2 versesHananiSibling of · 2 versesHananiahSibling of · 1 event · 2 versesKinshipAsaph1 event · 33 versesObed-edom1 event · 16 versesZaccur1 event · 3 versesGedaliah1 event · 2 versesHashabiah1 event · 2 versesEventsBukkiah

    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.
