Description
Who was Hadad?
Hadad, also referred to as Hadar in some passages, was the last king of Edom mentioned in the Bible before the Israelites established their own monarchy (Gen.36.39, 1 Chronicles Gen.1.50-51). He was the successor of Baal-hanan, son of Achbor. Hadad's wife was Mehetabel, daughter of Matred and granddaughter of Me-zahab. The city where Hadad reigned was Pau, but its exact location is unknown. The mention of Hadad as the last king suggests that after his reign, Edom came under the rule of the Israelites.
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.

The pattern
Where Hadad 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.
