Description
Who was Jehohanan?
Jehohanan is mentioned in 2Ch.23.1 as the father of Ishmael, one of the military leaders who supported the priest Jehoiada in his coup against Queen Athaliah. Athaliah had seized the throne of Judah after the death of her son, King Ahaziah, and had ordered the execution of all the royal heirs. However, Jehoiada and his wife, Jehosheba, managed to rescue the young prince Joash and hide him in the temple for six years. In the seventh year, Jehoiada gathered the military leaders, including Ishmael, son of Jehohanan, and revealed the existence of the rightful heir to the throne. The military leaders pledged their support to Joash and helped Jehoiada execute a plan to overthrow Athaliah and install Joash as king. The text does not provide any further information about Jehohanan himself, but his son's involvement in this significant event suggests that the family may have held a prominent position in the military or royal court.
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.
The 10 best-attested of 12 are drawn. All 12 are listed below.
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.
