Description
Who was Ami?
Ami, also known as Amon, was the head of a family whose descendants were among the returned exiles from Babylon. They were listed among the servants of Solomon, suggesting that their ancestors had been assigned by King Solomon to perform specific duties or services. The descendants of Ami were part of the group that returned to Jerusalem and Judah under the leadership of Zerubbabel, as recorded in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. They likely played a role in the rebuilding of the temple and the restoration of Jewish worship in Jerusalem after the exile.
Relations
Direct connections
The kinship import reads the registry's own columns — parent, child, sibling, spouse — for every entity in it, and records none here. An extracted relation would be listed beside them, and none names this person either.
Not stated
No family is recorded for this person.
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.

The pattern
Where Ami 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 Ezra (1) and Nehemiah (1).
