Description
Who was Adrammelech?
Adrammelech was one of the sons of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria. After Sennacherib's unsuccessful campaign against Jerusalem, he returned to Nineveh. While worshipping in the temple of his god Nisroch, Adrammelech and his brother Sharezer assassinated their father with the sword. They then escaped to the land of Ararat. Sennacherib's son Esarhaddon succeeded him as king. (2Ki.19.37; Isa.37.38).
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
The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.
The pattern
Where Adrammelech is named
Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.
2 verses across 2 of 66 books; 64 write the name nowhere. Named in 2 Kings (1) and Isaiah (1).
