Description
Who was Ishi?
Ishi is mentioned as one of the leaders of the tribe of Simeon who led an expedition to secure more pastureland during the reign of King Hezekiah (1Ch.4.42). Along with Pelatiah, Neariah, Rephaiah, and Uzziel, Ishi is described as a son of Ishi (likely referring to an ancestor or clan name). These Simeonite leaders attacked the Hamites who lived in Gedor, conquering their land and settling there because it had good pasture for their flocks. This event demonstrates the Simeonites' efforts to expand their territory and secure resources during Hezekiah's reign.
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.
