Description
Who was Azariahu?
Azariahu is mentioned in 2Ch.21.2 as one of the sons of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. This is an alternate spelling of the name Azariah, which appears in the same verse. Azariahu was a brother of Jehoram, who succeeded Jehoshaphat as king. Jehoshaphat gave his sons many gifts of silver, gold, and valuable possessions, along with fortified cities in Judah. However, he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn. The text does not provide further details about Azariahu's life or role in the kingdom. The mention of Azariahu and his brothers receiving gifts and cities from their father suggests that Jehoshaphat sought to provide for his sons and ensure their well-being, even as he passed the throne to his eldest son.
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.

The pattern
Where Azariahu 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.
1 verse across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere. Named in 2 Chronicles (1).
