Description
Who was Jahdai?
Jahdai is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.2.47 as one of the descendants of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh. This passage is part of a larger genealogical record of the tribe of Judah, focusing particularly on the descendants of Hezron, one of the sons of Perez (1Ch.2.3-55).
Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, is known for his faithfulness to the Lord during the time of the Israelites' wandering in the wilderness (Num.14.24, Jos.14.6-14). He was one of the twelve spies sent to explore the land of Canaan, and along with Joshua, he brought back a positive report and encouraged the people to trust in the Lord (Num.13.30, 14.6-9).
In 1Chronicles 2, several of Caleb's descendants are listed, including his sons and grandsons. Jahdai is mentioned among these descendants (1Ch.2.47), indicating that he was part of Caleb's lineage and a member of the tribe of Judah.
No other specific details are provided about Jahdai's life, occupation, or role within the family or tribe. His inclusion in this genealogical record, however, serves to highlight the importance of family lineage and the preservation of ancestral records among the Israelites, particularly within the tribe of Judah.
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 Jahdai 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.
