Description
Who was Ibneiah?
Ibneiah is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.9.8 as one of the Benjamites who lived in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. He is listed among the descendants of Benjamin who resettled in the city.
The genealogical record in 1Chronicles 9 provides a list of the Israelites, particularly from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi, who returned to Jerusalem and the surrounding areas following the Babylonian captivity. This resettlement took place after the Persian king Cyrus issued a decree allowing the Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the temple in Jerusalem.
Ibneiah's inclusion in this list suggests that he was part of the group that returned to Jerusalem and contributed to the rebuilding and restoration of the city and its community. The mention of his name also indicates that he was a person of some significance within the Benjamite clan.
Apart from this brief mention, no other details are provided about Ibneiah's life or role in the post-exilic community. However, his presence in the genealogical record attests to the importance of family lineage and tribal identity in the reconstitution of Jewish society after the exile.
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 Ibneiah 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.
