Description
Who was Jada?
Jada is mentioned in 1Ch.2.28 and 32 as part of the genealogy of the tribe of Judah. He is identified as the son of Onam and the brother of Shammai.
The genealogy in this chapter traces the descendants of Judah, one of the twelve sons of Israel (or 'Jacob'). It provides a detailed record of the families and clans within the tribe of Judah, highlighting significant individuals and their relationships.
Jada's father, Onam, is listed as a descendant of Jerahmeel, who was one of the sons of Hezron, a grandson of Judah (1Ch.2.25). This places Jada within the larger context of the Jerahmeelite clan within the tribe of Judah.
Apart from his familial connections, no other specific details are provided about Jada's life, occupation, or role within the tribe. His inclusion in the genealogy serves to maintain a record of the lineage of Judah and to demonstrate the continuity of the tribe through successive generations.
The preservation of such genealogical records was important for the Israelites, as it helped to establish tribal identity, inheritance rights, and the fulfillment of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
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 Jada 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.
