Description
Who was Shemaiah?
Shemaiah was a Levite who lived during the reign of King David. He is mentioned in 1Ch.15.8 as one of the sons of Elizaphan, a descendant of Kohath. When David gathered the Levites to bring the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem, Shemaiah was among those chosen for this task (1Ch.15.11). The Levites were to carry the ark on their shoulders using the poles, as prescribed by the Law of Moses. Shemaiah's specific role in the procession is not mentioned, but his participation highlights the importance of the Levites in the proper handling and transportation of the sacred ark.
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.

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.
