Description

Who was Unni?

In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

Unni is mentioned in 1Ch.15.18, 20 as one of the Levite musicians during the reign of King David. He was appointed, along with other skilled musicians, to play the harp during the procession when the ark of the covenant was brought to Jerusalem. Unni was part of the second group of musicians, led by Zechariah, who accompanied the ark with lyres according to alamoth, which may refer to a high pitch or a specific musical term. The inclusion of Unni in this list highlights the importance of music and worship in the transportation of the ark and the establishment of proper worship practices in 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.

How the graph connects Unni10 of 13 entities the graph connects to Unni, in 2 groups: company 1, events 9. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.Levi, Musicians, Zechariah, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, Benaiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, Jeiel, and Azaziah’s appointment of Levitical Relatives, Singer, Heman, Asaph, and JeduthunTook part in · 6 versesCompanyLevi1 event · 329 versesHarp1 event · 38 versesAsaph1 event · 33 versesSinger1 event · 29 versesLyre1 event · 20 versesObed-edom1 event · 16 versesJeduthun1 event · 15 versesHeman1 event · 12 versesZechariah1 event · 7 versesEventsUnni

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.
