Description
Who was Joahaz?
Joahaz is briefly mentioned in 2Ch.34.8 as the father of Joah, who held the position of King Josiah's secretary during the king's reign in Judah. Joah, along with Shaphan the scribe and Maaseiah the governor of the city, was entrusted by Josiah to oversee the distribution of funds to the workers involved in the temple repairs. This event took place in the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign, as part of the king's efforts to restore proper worship in 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.

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.
