Description
Who was Naam?
Naam is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.4.15 as one of the sons of Caleb, who was a prominent figure from the tribe of Judah. This reference appears in a genealogical record that traces the descendants of Judah, providing insight into the family lines within the tribe.
Caleb, Naam's father, is known for his faithfulness to God during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. He, along with Joshua, was one of the twelve spies sent to explore the land of Canaan (Numbers 13-14). Caleb and Joshua were the only two spies who encouraged the Israelites to trust God and enter the Promised Land.
Apart from being listed as a son of Caleb, no additional information is provided about Naam's life, character, or role within the tribe of Judah. His mention in the genealogy serves primarily to highlight his lineage and his connection to Caleb, a significant figure in Israel's history.
The inclusion of Naam in the genealogical record demonstrates the importance of family heritage and tribal identity in ancient Israelite society. These records helped establish the legitimacy of land claims and leadership roles within the community, as well as preserving the history of God's chosen people.
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.
