    Description

    Who was Nethaniah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Nethaniah was a Levite who lived during the reign of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. He was one of the Levites that Jehoshaphat sent out to teach the Book of the Law in all the towns of Judah (2Ch.17.8). As a Levite, teaching the people God's laws would have been one of his key roles. This mission by Jehoshaphat was part of his reforms to turn the people back to God.

    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 Nethaniah10 of 13 entities the graph connects to Nethaniah, in 2 groups: company 1, events 9. 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.Sending of Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and MicaiahTook part in · 2 versesCompanyTeaching1 event · 119 versesJehoshaphat1 event · 67 versesJehoshaphat’s reign of Asa1 event · 2 versesAdonijah1 event · 1 verseAsahel1 event · 1 verseBen-hail1 event · 1 verseElishama1 event · 1 verseJehonathan1 event · 1 verseJehoram1 event · 1 verseEventsNethaniah

    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.

    No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
