Description
Who was Azmaveth?
Azmaveth is mentioned in 1Ch.12.3 as the father of two of the Benjamite warriors, Jeziel and Pelet, who joined David at Ziklag when he was fleeing from King Saul. The fact that Azmaveth's sons were among David's supporters suggests that they had chosen to align themselves with David, even though their family was closely associated with Saul. The genealogies in Chronicles serve to trace the lineage of important individuals and to demonstrate the continuity of the people of Israel, even during times of political transition. when he was fleeing from King Saul. During this time, David had taken refuge among the Philistines, and a group of warriors from various tribes of Israel came to support him. Azmaveth, along with other skilled archers and slingers from the tribe of Benjamin, pledged their allegiance to David and fought alongside him. The fact that these warriors were willing to leave their homes and families to support David demonstrates their belief in his leadership and their commitment to his cause. The support of these warriors was crucial to David's eventual success in establishing his kingdom and uniting the tribes of Israel under his rule.
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.
