Description
Who was Jashobeam?
Jashobeam, also referred to as Josheb-basshebet, was a prominent figure among David's mighty men. He is mentioned in 1Ch.11.11 and 1Ch.27.2, as well as 2Sa.23.8. Jashobeam was the son of Hachmoni and is described as the chief of the mighty men. In 1Ch.11.11, it is recorded that he wielded his spear against 300 men and killed them in a single encounter. This feat demonstrates his exceptional skill and bravery as a warrior. In 1Ch.27.2, Jashobeam is listed as the leader of the first division of David's army, which served the king in the first month of each year. This position indicates that he held a high rank and was trusted with significant military responsibilities. The variations in his name, "Jashobeam" and "Josheb-basshebet," may be due to textual differences or scribal errors in the transmission of the biblical text.
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.
