    Description

    Who was Jonathan?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Jonathan, the son of Kareah, is mentioned in Jer.40.8 as one of the army officers who came to Gedaliah at Mizpah after the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians in 586 BC. Gedaliah had been appointed by the Babylonians as governor over the towns of Judah (Jer.40.5). After the Babylonians departed, Gedaliah encouraged the remaining people in the land to serve the king of Babylon and settle in the land (Jer.40.9-10). Jonathan, along with other officers and their men, came to Gedaliah at Mizpah and were assured by him of safety as long as they remained submitted to Babylonian rule.

    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.

    How the graph connects Jonathan7 of 7 entities the graph connects to Jonathan, in 2 groups: kinship 2, events 5. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.JohananSibling of · 1 event · 15 versesKareahChild of · 14 versesKinshipMizpah1 event · 50 versesGedaliah1 event · 26 versesIshmael1 event · 21 versesJezaniah1 event · 4 versesSeraiah1 event · 2 versesEventsJonathan
