Description
Who was Jehiel?
Jehiel, also referred to as Jahath, is mentioned in several passages in 1 Chronicles as a Levite leader during the reign of King David. In 1Ch.23.8, Jehiel is listed as one of the sons of Ladan, who was a descendant of Gershon. This chapter describes the organization of the Levites and their duties in the temple service. In 1Ch.29.8, Jehiel is mentioned as one of the leaders of the Levites who received the donations of precious stones for the construction of the temple. This suggests that he held a position of responsibility and trust within the Levitical community. In 1Ch.26.21-22, Jehiel is identified as the father of Zetham and Joel, who were in charge of the treasuries of the house of the Lord. This passage also refers to him as Jehieli, possibly indicating a variant spelling of his name. The text does not provide any further details about Jehiel's life or his specific role as a Levite leader. However, his repeated mention in these passages highlights his importance and the significance of the Levites in the administration and service of the temple during David'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.
