    Description

    Who was Maaseiah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Maaseiah was a priest who played a role in the coronation of King Joash of Judah (2Ch.23.1). During the reign of Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, who had usurped the throne and killed the royal heirs, Jehoiada the priest organized a coup to restore the Davidic line (2Ch.22.10-23.21). Maaseiah, along with other leaders and Levites, was part of the group that Jehoiada gathered to support the young prince Joash and overthrow Athaliah. The coup was successful, and Joash was crowned king at the age of seven (2Ch.24.1). Maaseiah's involvement in this event highlights the importance of the priesthood in maintaining the religious and political stability of the kingdom of Judah.

    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 Maaseiah10 of 12 entities the graph connects to Maaseiah, in 3 groups: kinship 1, company 1, events 8. 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.AdaiahChild of · 1 event · 1 verseKinshipJehoiada, Azariah, Ishmael, Maaseiah, Elishaphat, and Whole Assembly’s covenant of Jeroham, Jehohanan, Obed, Adaiah, and ZichriTook part in · 3 versesCompanyJehoiada1 event · 26 versesJoash1 event · 26 versesAzariah1 event · 1 verseAzariah1 event · 1 verseElishaphat1 event · 1 verseIshmael1 event · 1 verseJehohanan1 event · 1 verseJeroham1 event · 1 verseEventsMaaseiah

    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.
