Description
Who was Joah?
Joah, son of Zimmah, a Levite belonging to the Gershonite clan, is mentioned in 2Ch.29.12 as one of the Levites who participated in the cleansing and consecration of the temple during the reign of King Hezekiah. When Hezekiah ascended to the throne, he initiated a reformation to restore proper worship in Judah. As part of this process, he called upon the Levites to purify the temple, which had fallen into disrepair and defilement during the reign of the previous kings. Joah, along with other Levites from various clans, responded to this call and took part in the cleansing and sanctification of the temple, ensuring that it was ready for the proper worship of God.
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.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
