Description
Who was Johanan?
Johanan, the son of Jehohanan, is mentioned in 2Ch.28.12 as one of the leaders of Ephraim during the reign of King Ahaz of Judah. When the army of Israel, led by King Pekah, defeated Judah and took captives to Samaria, Johanan and other leaders of Ephraim stood against this action. They rebuked the army, reminding them of their own sins and warning them not to add to their guilt by enslaving their fellow Israelites. Johanan and the other leaders insisted that the captives be released and provided for, demonstrating compassion and a desire to obey God's law. Their intervention led to the captives being clothed, fed, and anointed before being sent back to Judah (2Ch.28.15). Johanan's actions showcase his leadership, courage, and commitment to upholding God's commands, even in the face of opposition from his own people.
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 Johanan 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.
1 verse across 1 of 66 books; 65 write the name nowhere. Named in 2 Chronicles (1).
