Description
Who was Jerahmeel?
Jerahmeel, the son of Hammelech (which means "the king"), was an officer in the court of King Jehoiakim of Judah. When Jeremiah's scribe, Baruch, read the prophet's words in the temple, the officials reported the incident to the king. Jehoiakim ordered Jerahmeel, along with two other officers, to arrest Baruch and Jeremiah. However, the Lord hid them from the king's men. This event demonstrates the tension between the prophetic message and the royal authority, as well as God's protection of His faithful servants.
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.
