Description
Who was Benaiah?
Benaiah is mentioned in 2Ch.20.14 as the father of Jahaziel, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, during the reign of King Jehoshaphat. The context of the passage is the impending attack on Judah by a vast army from Edom. As the people gathered to seek the Lord's help, the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel, and he prophesied victory for Jehoshaphat and the people of Judah. Jahaziel's prophecy encouraged the king and the people, assuring them that the battle belonged to God and that they would not need to fight. The mention of Benaiah as Jahaziel's father identifies him as a Levite and connects him to the lineage of Asaph, one of the principal musicians and worship leaders in the time of David.
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.
