Description
Who was Zadok?
Zadok is mentioned as a high priest who lived and served in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. He is listed in the genealogies of the priests in the books of Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah. Zadok was a descendant of the earlier high priest Zadok who served during the reigns of David and Solomon. In the postexilic period, Zadok is described as the son of Meraioth and the father of Meshullam. He was part of the priestly lineage that returned to Jerusalem to help rebuild the temple and reestablish the worship of God. The mention of Zadok in these genealogies emphasizes the continuity of the priestly line and the importance of the priesthood in the restoration of Jewish religious life after the exile.
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.
