Description
Who was Romamti-ezer?
Romamti-ezer is mentioned in 1Ch.25.4 and 31 as one of the sons of Heman, a Levite appointed by King David to lead worship in the temple. Heman, along with Asaph and Jeduthun, was a chief musician and prophet in the service of the tabernacle (1Ch.25.1, 5). Romamti-ezer and his brothers were skilled musicians who were trained in singing to the Lord (1Ch.25.7). They were divided into twenty-four groups, each responsible for leading worship in the temple for a specific period (1Ch.25.8-31). Romamti-ezer was the head of the twenty-fourth division (1Ch.25.31). The inclusion of Romamti-ezer and his brothers in the organization of temple worship highlights the importance of music and praise in Israelite worship and the role of the Levites in facilitating this aspect of devotion to God.
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.
