Description
Who was Shashak?
Shashak, mentioned in 1Ch.8.14 and 1Ch.8.25, was a Benjamite leader who descended from Elpaal. He is listed in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin, which trace the lineage of prominent figures within the tribe. In verse 14, Shashak is identified as one of the sons of Elpaal, along with his brothers Beriah and Shema. Later, in verse 25, Shashak is mentioned again as the son of Beriah and the father of Iphedeiah and Penuel. The repetition of Shashak's name in the genealogy emphasizes his significance within the Benjamite lineage. However, the text does not provide any specific details about Shashak's life, his role as a leader, or his achievements. The inclusion of his name in the genealogical record serves to establish the continuity of the Benjamite lineage and highlight the importance of family ties within the tribe.
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.

Sibling of
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.
