    Description

    Who was Jehosheba?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Jehosheba, also known as Jehoshabeath, was the daughter of King Jehoram of Judah and the sister of King Ahaziah. She was married to Jehoiada, the high priest. When Athaliah, Jehosheba's mother, attempted to kill all the royal heirs after Ahaziah's death, Jehosheba rescued the infant Joash, Ahaziah's son, and hid him in the temple for six years. Later, Jehoiada and Jehosheba orchestrated the coronation of Joash and the overthrow of Athaliah.

    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 Jehosheba8 of 8 entities the graph connects to Jehosheba, in 3 groups: kinship 5, company 2, events 1. 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.AhaziahSibling of · 26 versesJehoiadaSpouse of · 26 versesJehoramChild of · 21 versesAthaliahChild of · 2 events · 15 versesZechariahMother of · 3 versesKinshipJehosheba’s hiding of JoashTook part in · 2 versesJehosheba’s placement of Joash and NurseTook part in · 2 versesCompanyJoash5 events · 26 versesEventsJehosheba

    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.
