Description
Who was Zimri?
Zimri was a member of the tribe of Benjamin mentioned in the genealogies found in 1Chronicles 8 and 9. He was the son of Jehoadah and is listed among the descendants of Saul, the first king of Israel. The genealogies in these chapters trace the lineage of several prominent Benjamite families, particularly those who lived in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. The repetition of Zimri's name in both genealogies suggests that he was a significant figure within the tribe of Benjamin. However, no additional information is provided about his life or role within the tribe. The inclusion of Zimri in the genealogical records demonstrates the importance of preserving family lineages and the connection of the Benjamites to their royal heritage through Saul's line.
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.
