Description

Who was Joel?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Joel is mentioned in 1Ch.15.7 and 1Ch.15.11 as a Levite of the Gershomite clan during the reign of King David. When David decided to bring the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem, he gathered the Levites and instructed them to consecrate themselves and carry the ark according to the proper procedures. Joel, along with his fellow Gershomites, was appointed to this sacred task. The Gershomites were one of the three main divisions of the Levites, responsible for assisting in the transportation and care of the tabernacle and its furnishings. Joel's inclusion in this narrative highlights the importance of the Levites' role in maintaining the proper worship of God and the significance of the ark's journey to Jerusalem.

Relations

Direct connections

The kinship import reads the registry's own columns — parent, child, sibling, spouse — for every entity in it, and records none here. An extracted relation would be listed beside them, and none names this person either.

Not stated

No family is recorded for this person.

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.
