Description
Who was Ahio?
Ahio was the son of Abinadab, in whose house the ark of God had been kept for many years after it was returned by the Philistines. When David decided to bring the ark to Jerusalem, Ahio and his brother Uzzah were tasked with transporting it.
They placed the ark on a new cart, with Uzzah walking alongside the ark and Ahio going before it. (2Sa.6.3,4; 1Ch.13.7) However, during the journey, when the oxen stumbled, Uzzah reached out to steady the ark and was struck down by God for his irreverent act. (2Sa.6.6-7; 1Ch.13.9-10)
The biblical text does not mention Ahio's reaction to his brother's death or provide any further details about his life. His role in the story is primarily as one of the two men entrusted with the responsibility of transporting the ark, which highlights the importance and sacredness of the ark in Israelite worship.
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.

The pattern
Where Ahio 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.
