Description
Who was Shamma?
Shamma, mentioned in 1Ch.7.37, was a descendant of Asher, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. He is identified as the son of Zophah, indicating his place within the genealogy of the tribe of Asher. The text provides a list of Asher's descendants, tracing the lineage through several generations. Shamma's mention in this genealogical record serves to highlight the importance of family lines and the preservation of tribal identity. No further details about Shamma's life or his role within the tribe are provided in the biblical text. The inclusion of his name in the genealogy suggests that he was a recognized member of the tribe of Asher and contributed to the continuation of the family line.
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.
The 10 best-attested of 11 are drawn. All 11 are listed below.
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.
