Description
Who was Bunni?
Bunni was a Levite who lived in Jerusalem during the time of Nehemiah (Neh. 11:15). After the completion of the wall of Jerusalem, Nehemiah organized the resettlement of the city, ensuring that a tenth of the population, including various leaders and officials, would reside within the city walls. Bunni is mentioned among the Levites who were chosen to live in Jerusalem. The presence of Levites in the city was crucial for maintaining the spiritual life of the community, as they were responsible for the temple services and religious instruction. Bunni's inclusion in the list of Levites residing in Jerusalem highlights his role in the spiritual leadership of the nation and the importance of having Levites present in the holy city.
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.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
