Description
Who was Jerahmeel?
Jerahmeel was the son of Hezron, a descendant of Judah, and is mentioned in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles. He had two wives, Atarah and Ahijah, and several children who became the founders of various clans within the tribe of Judah. Jerahmeel's descendants, known as the Jerahmeelites, are mentioned in connection with David's time as a fugitive from King Saul. David sent gifts to the Jerahmeelites, among others, after defeating the Amalekites who had raided Ziklag. This suggests that the Jerahmeelites were a significant clan within Judah and had a friendly relationship with David. The Jerahmeelites' territory was likely located in the Negev region, south 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 Jerahmeel 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.
8 verses across 2 of 66 books; 64 write the name nowhere. Named in 1 Samuel (2) and 1 Chronicles (6).
