Description
Who was Alemeth?
Alemeth is mentioned briefly in the genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin, specifically as a son of Becher. (1Ch.7.8)
Becher was one of the sons of Benjamin, the youngest son of Israel (or 'Jacob'). (Gen.46.21) The genealogy in 1Chronicles 7 lists the descendants of Becher, including Alemeth and his brothers, Zemira, Joash, Eliezer, Elioenai, Omri, Jeremoth, and Abijah. (1Ch.7.8)
The listing of Alemeth and his brothers indicates that they were part of the Benjamite clan descended from Becher. However, no further information is provided about Alemeth's life, his role within the family, or any significant events associated with him.
The genealogies in Chronicles serve to document the lineage of the Israelite tribes and to highlight the importance of family heritage in the post-exilic Jewish community. The mention of Alemeth in this context helps to establish the continuity of the Benjamite lineage and its various branches.
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.
