Description
Who was Sachar?
Sachar is mentioned in 1Ch.26.4 as one of the sons of Obed-edom, a Levite who served as a gatekeeper in the tabernacle during the reign of King David. Obed-edom was entrusted with the care of the Ark of the Covenant for three months after the incident involving Uzzah (2Sa.6.10-11; 1Ch.13.13-14). As a result of God's blessing upon Obed-edom's household during this time, David appointed him and his sons as gatekeepers in the tabernacle (1Ch.15.18, 24). Sachar is listed among Obed-edom's eight sons, who are described as "able men with strength for the service" (1Ch.26.8). The gatekeepers were responsible for guarding the entrances to the tabernacle, maintaining order, and ensuring that only authorized individuals entered the sacred spaces (1Ch.9.22-27). The mention of Sachar and his brothers highlights the importance of the Levites' role in the worship and service of the Lord, as well as the faithfulness of Obed-edom's family in carrying out their assigned duties.
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.
