Description
Who was Elnaam?
Elnaam is mentioned in the list of David's mighty men as the father of Jeribai and Joshaviah (1Ch.11.46). The mighty men were a group of skilled warriors who demonstrated exceptional valor and loyalty to King David. Elnaam's sons, Jeribai and Joshaviah, were counted among this elite group, indicating their prowess in battle and their dedication to serving the king. The inclusion of Elnaam's name in this context suggests that he was a notable figure, possibly known for his own military achievements or for his role in raising and training his sons to be skilled warriors. However, no further details about Elnaam's life, occupation, or personal characteristics are provided in the Bible. His mention serves primarily to identify the family background of two of David's mighty men.
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.
