Description
Who was Shemaiah?
Shemaiah was a priest who participated in the dedication of Jerusalem's wall during the time of Nehemiah. According to Neh.12.35, Shemaiah the son of Mattaniah, son of Micaiah, son of Zaccur, son of Asaph, was one of the priests who played trumpets during the ceremonial procession on the wall. This event marked the completion of the wall's reconstruction and was a time of great celebration and thanksgiving for the Jewish community. Shemaiah's role as a trumpet-playing priest contributed to the joyful atmosphere and the musical expression of praise to God during this significant moment in the history of Jerusalem.
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.
