Description
Who was Misham?
Misham is a name that appears in 1Ch.8.12, in the context of a genealogy of the tribe of Benjamin. He is listed as one of the sons of Elpaal, along with his brothers Eber, Shemed, Beriah, and Shema. The genealogy traces the descendants of Benjamin, providing insight into the family lines and individuals within the tribe.
Beyond being mentioned as a son of Elpaal, no further details are given about Misham's life, actions, or role within the tribe. His inclusion in the genealogy suggests that he was a recognized member of the Benjamite community and that his lineage was considered significant enough to be recorded in the biblical text. However, the lack of additional information about him leaves much of his personal story and contributions unknown.
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.

Where Misham 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.
