Description
Who was Oded?
Oded was a prophet who lived during the reign of King Asa of Judah. He was the father of Azariah, another prophet (2Ch.15.1). Azariah, inspired by the Spirit of God, delivered a message to King Asa, encouraging him to seek the Lord and reminding him of the consequences of forsaking God (2Ch.15.1-7). This prophecy prompted Asa to initiate religious reforms in Judah, removing idols and repairing the altar of the Lord (2Ch.15.8). Although Oded himself is not recorded as delivering a prophecy, his role as the father of Azariah suggests that he may have been influential in his son's prophetic ministry.
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.

The pattern
Where Oded 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.
