Description
Who was Jozacar?
Jozacar, also known as Zabad, is mentioned in 2Ki.12.22 and 2Ch.24.26 as one of the servants who conspired against and killed King Joash of Judah. The context of the passage is the assassination of Joash and the succession of his son Amaziah (2Ki.12.20-21; 2Ch.24.25-27).
Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, along with Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, plotted against King Joash and struck him down at Beth-millo (2Ki.12.21; 2Ch.24.26). The reason for their conspiracy is not explicitly stated, but it may have been related to Joash's earlier abandonment of the Lord's ways and his ordering the execution of the priest Zechariah (2Ch.24.17-22).
After killing Joash, the servants buried him in the City of David, but not in the tombs of the kings (2Ch.24.25). Joash's son Amaziah succeeded him as king (2Ki.12.21; 2Ch.24.27).
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.

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.
