    Description

    Who was Jehoiada?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Jehoiada, also referred to as Barachiah in Mat.23.35, was a high priest during the reign of King Joash of Judah. He played a crucial role in preserving the Davidic lineage and restoring the worship of Yahweh in Judah.

    When Athaliah, the mother of the deceased king Ahaziah, seized the throne and ordered the execution of all the royal heirs, Jehoiada and his wife Jehosheba rescued the infant Joash and hid him in the temple for six years (2Ki.11.1-3; 2Ch.22.11-12). In the seventh year, Jehoiada gathered the military leaders and Levites, revealing the existence of the rightful heir and orchestrating a coup against Athaliah (2Ki.11.4-12; 2Ch.23.1-11). Joash was crowned king, and Athaliah was executed (2Ki.11.13-16; 2Ch.23.12-15).

    During Joash's reign, Jehoiada served as his advisor and guided him in the ways of the Lord (2Ki.12.2). Jehoiada also initiated repairs to the temple and oversaw the collection of funds for this purpose (2Ki.12.7-16; 2Ch.24.4-14). He died at the age of 130 and was buried among the kings in the City of David, a testament to his significant role in the history of Judah (2Ch.24.15-16).

    After Jehoiada's death, Joash turned away from the Lord and even ordered the execution of Jehoiada's son, Zechariah, for speaking out against the king's disobedience (2Ch.24.17-22; Mat.23.35). This act of betrayal led to the downfall of Joash and the kingdom of Judah.

    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.

    How the graph connects Jehoiada10 of 18 entities the graph connects to Jehoiada, in one group: events 10. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.Israel1 event · 2,578 versesJudah2 events · 1,023 versesComing1 event · 574 versesLevi3 events · 329 versesKing1 event · 174 versesBurnt Offering1 event · 160 versesPlacing1 event · 101 versesObedience1 event · 29 versesJoash16 events · 26 versesCherethites4 events · 9 versesJehoiada

    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.
