Description

Who was Johanan?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Johanan is mentioned in 1Ch.6.9-10 as part of the genealogy of the Levites, specifically in the lineage of Kohath. He is listed as the son of Azariah and he called his son Azariah, who served as a priest during the reign of Solomon. This genealogy traces the ancestry of Samuel, the prophet and last judge of Israel, back to the time of Moses and Aaron. The mention of Johanan in this context highlights the importance of the Levitical lineage and their role in serving in the tabernacle and, later, the temple. However, no additional information is provided about Johanan's life or his specific responsibilities as a Levite.

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.
