Description
Who was Hamutal?
Hamutal was the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah and the mother of two kings of Judah: Jehoahaz and Zedekiah (2Ki.23.31; 24.18). Jehoahaz, also known as Shallum, became king after the death of his father, King Josiah (1Ch.3.15). However, he reigned for only three months before being deposed by Pharaoh Necho of Egypt (2Ki.23.31-34). Zedekiah, Hamutal's other son, was the last king of Judah before the Babylonian exile. He was appointed as king by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, after the deportation of his nephew, King Jehoiachin (2Ki.24.17-18). Zedekiah reigned for eleven years but ultimately rebelled against Babylon, leading to the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple (2Ki.25.1-10). The mention of Hamutal in the genealogies of the kings of Judah highlights the importance of maternal lineage in the royal succession and provides insight into the political dynamics of the time.
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 Hamutal 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.
3 verses across 2 of 66 books; 64 write the name nowhere. Named in 2 Kings (2) and Jeremiah (1).
