Description
Who was Jushab-hesed?
Jushab-hesed is mentioned in 1Ch.3.20 as one of the sons of Zerubbabel, a descendant of King Jehoiachin of Judah. The context of the passage is the genealogy of the royal line of David, focusing on the descendants of Jehoiachin after the Babylonian exile (1Ch.3.17-24).
Jushab-hesed is listed along with his brothers: Meshullam, Hananiah, Shelomith (their sister), Hashubah, Ohel, Berechiah, Hasadiah, and Jushab-hesed (1Ch.3.19-20). The repetition of Jushab-hesed's name in verse 20 has led some scholars to suggest that it may be a scribal error or that there were two individuals with the same name.
As a descendant of Jehoiachin and Zerubbabel, Jushab-hesed would have been part of the royal lineage of David during the post-exilic period. However, no further information is provided about his life, role, or significance in the biblical narrative.
The inclusion of Jushab-hesed in the genealogy of David's descendants demonstrates the continuity of the royal line and God's faithfulness to His promises to David, even through the difficult period of the Babylonian exile and its aftermath.
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.
