Description
Who was Maaseiah?
Maaseiah was a false prophet who, along with Ahab, prophesied lies to the Jewish exiles in Babylon (Jer.29.21). In a letter sent by the prophet Jeremiah to the exiles, he warned them about the false prophecies of Ahab and Maaseiah, who were leading the people astray (Jer.29.20-23). Jeremiah prophesied that these false prophets would be punished by God, and they would be killed by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon (Jer.29.21). The presence of false prophets like Maaseiah among the exiles demonstrates the spiritual challenges faced by the Jewish community during the Babylonian captivity.
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.
