Description
Who was Conaniah?
Conaniah was a Levite who served during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah. He was appointed as one of the officials in charge of the contributions, tithes, and dedicated gifts brought to the Temple (2Ch.31.12). Along with his brother Shimei and other Levites, Conaniah was responsible for ensuring the proper distribution of these offerings to the priests and Levites (2Ch.31.13).
Later, during the Passover celebration in Hezekiah's reign, Conaniah, along with other Levite leaders, contributed a large number of animals for the Passover sacrifices (2Ch.35.9). This demonstrates Conaniah's ongoing commitment to the Temple service and his leadership role among the Levites.
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.
