Description
Who was Zephaniah?
Zephaniah was a prophet of Judah who ministered during the reign of King Josiah, likely in the late 7th century BC. He was the son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah. This genealogy suggests that Zephaniah may have been a descendant of King Hezekiah of Judah. The book of Zephaniah, the ninth book of the Minor Prophets, is attributed to him. In his prophecies, Zephaniah addresses the judgment coming upon Judah and the surrounding nations, as well as the future restoration of God's people. His message emphasizes the Day of the Lord, a time of both judgment and salvation. The book concludes with a promise of hope and joy for the remnant of Israel.
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.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
