Description
Who was Micaiah?
Micaiah is mentioned in the book of 2 Chronicles as one of the Levites commissioned by King Jehoshaphat to teach the Book of the Law in the cities of Judah (2Ch.17.7). In the third year of his reign, Jehoshaphat sent officials, Levites, and priests to instruct the people in the Law of the Lord. Micaiah is listed among the Levites who participated in this educational mission, along with Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tobadonijah. This initiative demonstrates Jehoshaphat's commitment to spiritual reform and the importance of teaching God's word to the people. Micaiah's inclusion in this group suggests that he was a trusted Levite, knowledgeable in the Law, and capable of teaching others.
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.
