Description

Who was daughter of Meshullam?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

The daughter of Meshullam is mentioned in Neh.6.18 as the wife of Jehohanan, the son of Tobiah the Ammonite. Tobiah was one of the adversaries who opposed Nehemiah's efforts to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The marriage between Meshullam's daughter and Tobiah's son highlights the complex relationships and alliances that existed among the Jewish nobles and their neighboring tribes. This connection likely contributed to the challenges Nehemiah faced in his mission to restore Jerusalem and its community.

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.
