Description
Who was Shama?
Shama, mentioned in 1Ch.11.44, was one of the mighty men who served in King David's army. He is identified as the son of Hotham the Aroerite, indicating his family background. The mighty men were a group of skilled warriors who demonstrated exceptional bravery and loyalty to David throughout his military campaigns. They were renowned for their strength, courage, and military prowess. Shama's inclusion in this list highlights his significant contributions to David's victories and his position as a trusted and valiant soldier. The text does not provide further details about Shama's specific accomplishments or the battles in which he participated. However, his recognition as one of David's mighty men suggests that he played a notable role in establishing and maintaining the king's reign over Israel.
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.
