Description
Who was Micaiah?
Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, appears briefly in the book of Jeremiah during the reign of King Jehoiakim of Judah (Jer.36.11,13). When Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe, read the prophet's scroll in the temple, Micaiah was present and heard the words of warning and judgment against Judah (Jer.36.10-11). Micaiah then went to the royal palace and reported to the officials all that he had heard from the scroll (Jer.36.12-13). His report prompted the officials to send for Baruch and have him read the scroll to them (Jer.36.14). Micaiah's actions led to the officials' awareness of Jeremiah's prophetic message, although King Jehoiakim ultimately burned the scroll and sought to arrest Jeremiah and Baruch (Jer.36.20-26). Micaiah's role in this narrative highlights the importance of bearing witness to God's word and the potential impact of an individual's actions in bringing that word to the attention of those in authority.
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.
