Description

Who was Sismai?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Sismai is mentioned in 1Ch.2.40 as a descendant of Judah through the line of Jerahmeel. He was the son of Eleasah and the father of Shallum. The genealogy in this passage traces the lineage of Jerahmeel, who was one of the sons of Hezron, a grandson of Judah. This genealogical record demonstrates the continued presence and development of the tribe of Judah, even through lesser-known branches of the family tree.

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.
