Description
Who was Jokim?
Jokim is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.4.22 as part of the genealogy of Judah, specifically within the lineage of Shelah, one of Judah's sons. The genealogy in this chapter traces the descendants of Judah, providing a record of the families and clans that comprised this important tribe in Israel.
Jokim is listed along with several other names, including Jozeh and the men of Cozeba, as well as Joash and Saraph, who are described as having "dominion in Moab" and "Jashubi-lehem." The exact nature of their dominion and the meaning of "Jashubi-lehem" are unclear from the text.
No further details are provided about Jokim's life, his specific place within the family lineage, or any notable achievements. His mention in the genealogy serves primarily to document the continuity of Judah's descendants and to highlight the significance of the tribe in the history of Israel.
The inclusion of these names and the reference to their dominion in Moab may also suggest that some members of Judah's lineage had connections or influence beyond the borders of Israel. However, without additional context, the implications of these details remain uncertain.
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
The places the claims about this person reach, drawn where the gazetteer locates them. A point is where a row puts them and never where tradition does; no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.
The pattern
Where Jokim 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.
