Description
Who was Hothir?
Hothir is mentioned in 1Ch.25.4 and 1Ch.25.28 as one of the sons of Heman, a prominent musician and prophet in King David's court. Heman, along with Asaph and Jeduthun, was appointed by David to lead the music and worship in the temple (1Ch.25.1).
Hothir was one of Heman's fourteen sons, all of whom were set apart for the ministry of music in the temple. They were described as "under the supervision of their father Heman, the king's seer, in the music of the temple of the Lord" (1Ch.25.6).
In 1Ch.25.28, Hothir is mentioned again in the context of the division of the musicians into twenty-four groups, each responsible for serving in the temple for a specific period. Hothir and his sons and relatives were assigned the twenty-first turn of service.
The inclusion of Hothir and his family in the temple music ministry highlights the importance of worship and the role of music in ancient Israelite culture. It also demonstrates the organization and structure of the temple service during the reign 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.
The 10 best-attested of 14 are drawn. All 14 are listed below.

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.
