Description
Who was Delaiah?
Delaiah is mentioned in 1Ch.3.24 as part of the genealogy of David's descendants, particularly those who came after Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin), the king of Judah who was exiled to Babylon. Delaiah is listed as one of the sons of Elioenai, who was a descendant of Jeconiah through Shealtiel and Zerubbabel.
The genealogy in 1Chronicles 3 traces the royal line of David, focusing on the kings of Judah and their descendants. The inclusion of Delaiah and his family members in this genealogy indicates that they were part of the royal lineage, even after the exile to Babylon.
The mention of Delaiah and his brothers (Hizkiah, Akkub, Johanan, Dalaiah, and Anani) several generations after Zerubbabel suggests that the descendants of David continued to be recognized and recorded even after the return from exile and the end of the monarchy.
Apart from this genealogical reference, no other details are provided about Delaiah's life or specific role. His inclusion in the genealogy serves to demonstrate the continuation of David's lineage and the fulfillment of God's promise to establish David's throne forever (2Sa.7.16).
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.
