Description
Who was Igal?
Igal is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.3.22 as one of the descendants of King David. He is listed in the genealogy of David's descendants through his son Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin), who was one of the last kings of Judah before the Babylonian exile.
In the genealogy, Igal is mentioned as one of the six sons of Shecaniah, who was a descendant of Jeconiah. The other sons of Shecaniah mentioned in the verse are Shemaiah, Hattush, Bariah, Neariah, and Shaphat.
The genealogical record in 1Chronicles 3 traces the royal line of David, focusing on his descendants who were kings of Judah, as well as those who continued the lineage after the Babylonian exile. The inclusion of Igal in this genealogy suggests that he was part of the royal family and held a place of importance in the lineage of David.
However, apart from this brief mention, no other details are provided about Igal's life, his role within the family, or any significant events or accomplishments associated with him. The purpose of the genealogy is primarily to establish the continuity of David's lineage and to highlight the enduring significance of the Davidic dynasty in the history of Israel.
The name Igal means "he redeems" or "God redeems" in Hebrew, reflecting the spiritual heritage and hope of redemption that was associated with the Davidic line.
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.
