Description
Who was Puah?
Puah's son Tola was a minor judge of Israel mentioned briefly in Jdg.10.1. He was the son of Dodo and came from the tribe of Issachar. After the death of Abimelech, who had ruled Israel for three years following the time of Gideon, Puah's son arose to judge Israel. He is described as being from Issachar and living in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim. The text does not provide any details about the length of Puah's judgeship or the specific events that occurred during his time as a judge.
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.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
