Description
Who was Haran?
Haran is briefly mentioned in 1Ch.23.9 as one of the Levites belonging to the clan of Shimei during the reign of King David. The Levites were the tribe responsible for assisting the priests in the temple service and maintaining the temple. In the context of 1Chronicles 23, David is organizing the Levites and assigning them their duties in preparation for the construction of the temple, which would be carried out by his son Solomon. Haran is listed along with his brothers Shelomoth and Haziel as members of the Shimei clan. No further information is provided about Haran's specific role or responsibilities within the Levitical system. The mention of Haran in this genealogical record highlights the importance of the Levites in the religious life of ancient Israel and their organization during the time of King David.
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.
