Description
Who was Shallum?
Shallum, mentioned in 2Ch.28.12, was one of the leaders from the tribe of Ephraim who opposed the army of Israel taking captives from Judah during the reign of King Ahaz. When the army of Israel, led by King Pekah, attacked Judah and captured a large number of people, intending to bring them back to Samaria as slaves, Shallum and other leaders confronted them. They rebuked the army, reminding them of their own sins against the Lord and warning them not to add to their guilt by enslaving their fellow Israelites. As a result of their intervention, the captives were released, and the leaders of Ephraim provided them with clothing, food, and medical care before sending them back to Judah. Shallum's actions, along with those of the other leaders, demonstrated a sense of unity and compassion among the tribes of Israel, even during a time of conflict and division.
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.
