Description
Who was Ishpah?
Ishpah is mentioned in a genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin in 1Ch.8.16. He is listed as one of the sons of Beriah, who was a descendant of Benjamin through Elpaal.
The genealogy in this chapter focuses on the descendants of Benjamin who lived in Jerusalem and the surrounding areas. Ishpah's mention helps to establish the family connections and the continuity of the Benjamite lineage.
No additional information is given about Ishpah's life, occupation, or role within the clan. His inclusion in the genealogy serves to highlight the importance of family records and the preservation of tribal heritage among the Israelites.
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.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
