Description
Who was Meshullam?
Meshullam, the son of Besodeiah, is mentioned in the book of Nehemiah as one of the individuals who helped repair the Old Gate during the rebuilding of Jerusalem's wall (Neh.3.6). He worked alongside Joiada, the son of Paseah, to repair and restore this gate. The Old Gate was one of the main entrances to the city of Jerusalem, and its repair was crucial for the security and functionality of the city. Meshullam's participation in this task demonstrates his willingness to contribute to the restoration of Jerusalem and its infrastructure.
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.
The 10 best-attested of 13 are drawn. All 13 are listed below.

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 Meshullam 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 Nehemiah (1).
