Description
Who was Tobadonijah?
Tobadonijah is mentioned in 2Ch.17.8 as one of the Levites sent by King Jehoshaphat of Judah to teach the Book of the Law in the cities of Judah. He was part of a delegation that included other Levites, such as Shemaiah, Nethaniah, and Zebadiah, as well as the priests Elishama and Jehoram. This teaching mission was part of Jehoshaphat's reforms to strengthen the spiritual and moral foundation of his kingdom. The Levites were responsible for instructing the people in the Law of God and ensuring that they understood and followed its precepts.
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.
The 10 best-attested of 13 are drawn. All 13 are listed below.

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.
