Description
Who was Jozabad?
Jozabad is mentioned in 2Ch.31.13 as one of the Levites appointed by King Hezekiah to oversee the distribution of contributions to the priests and Levites. The context of the passage is Hezekiah's religious reforms and the restoration of proper worship in Judah (2Ch.31.1-21).
After the people brought in abundant contributions, tithes, and dedicated gifts (2Ch.31.5-6), Hezekiah appointed officers to oversee the distribution of these offerings. Jozabad, along with Jehiel, Azaziah, Nahath, Asahel, Jerimoth, Jozabad, Eliel, Ismachiah, Mahath, and Benaiah, was appointed as an overseer under the direction of Conaniah and his brother Shimei, the chief officers (2Ch.31.12-13).
These overseers were entrusted with the task of ensuring that the contributions were faithfully distributed to the priests and Levites according to their divisions and duties (2Ch.31.14-19).
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.
