Description
Who was Baal-hanan?
Baal-hanan the Gederite was one of the officials who served under King David. In 1Ch.27.28, he is described as being in charge of the olive and sycamore trees in the lowlands, which were likely the coastal plains and foothills of Judah. This was an important role, as olive oil and sycamore fruit were valuable crops in ancient Israel. Baal-hanan's title "the Gederite" suggests he was from the town of Geder or had an association with that place.
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
The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.
The pattern
Where Baal-hanan 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 1 Chronicles (1).
