Description
Who was Jedidah?
Jedidah is mentioned in 2Ki.22.1 as the mother of King Josiah of Judah. She was the daughter of Adaiah from Bozkath, a town in the Shephelah region of Judah. Jedidah's son, Josiah, became king at the age of eight and reigned for thirty-one years in Jerusalem. He is known for his religious reforms and his efforts to restore the worship of the Lord in Judah. The text does not provide any further information about Jedidah's life or her role in Josiah's upbringing. However, her mention as the mother of a significant king in Judah's history highlights the importance of maternal lineage in the royal succession.
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.
