Description
Who was Shaphat?
Shaphat, mentioned in 1Ch.27.29, was an official in King David's administration who was responsible for overseeing the royal herds that grazed in the valleys. He is identified as the son of Adlai, but no further details about his family background are provided. As the overseer of the herds in the valleys, Shaphat would have been in charge of managing the livestock, ensuring their well-being, and organizing their grazing and care. The valleys likely refer to the fertile lowlands of Israel, which were suitable for grazing cattle and other livestock. Shaphat's appointment to this position indicates that he possessed the necessary skills and trustworthiness to manage this important aspect of the king's property. The mention of Shaphat in the context of David's administrative organization highlights the king's efforts to establish a well-structured and efficient system for managing his assets and resources.
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.
