Description
Who was Hananiah?
Hananiah is mentioned in Jer.36.12 as one of the officials present when Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe, read the prophet's scroll in the chamber of Elishama, the royal secretary. This event took place during the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah. Jeremiah had dictated the words of the Lord to Baruch, who wrote them on a scroll. Baruch then read the scroll in the temple, and when the officials heard about it, they summoned him to read it in their presence. Hananiah, along with the other officials, listened to the words of the scroll, which contained warnings of judgment against Judah for their disobedience. After hearing the scroll, the officials advised Baruch and Jeremiah to hide while they reported the matter to the king. The mention of Hananiah in this context suggests that he held a position of authority in the royal court.
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.
