    Description

    Who was Seraiah?

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Seraiah, mentioned in 2Ki.25.18, 1 Chronicles 2Ki.6.14, Ezr.7.1, Neh.11.11, and Jer.52.24, was the high priest during the reign of King Zedekiah, the last king of Judah before the Babylonian exile. As the high priest, Seraiah held the highest religious authority in the land and was responsible for overseeing the temple services and religious practices. He was also a descendant of Aaron, as evident from the genealogical records in 1 Chronicles and Ezra. Tragically, after the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians, Seraiah was captured and executed by Nebuzaradan, the captain of the Babylonian guard, at Riblah. His death marked the end of the line of high priests serving in the first temple.

    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.

    How the graph connects Seraiah 8 of 8 entities the graph connects to Seraiah, in 2 groups: kinship 4, events 4. Kinship, company and ground are stated relations; events counts the acts two entities stand in together and is not a relation. Each mark is sized by how many verses name that entity and labelled with the link and the count, so the grouping and the size are both readable without colour. Distance from the centre carries nothing.EzraFather of · 22 versesHilkiahChild of · 19 versesJehozadakFather of · 12 versesAzariahChild of · 4 versesKinshipNebuchadnezzar1 event · 88 versesNebuzaradan2 events · 15 versesRiblah2 events · 11 versesZephaniah2 events · 6 versesEventsSeraiah

Each dot is a coordinate from the gazetteer, sized by how many rows put Seraiah there. The coastline is a modern one, simplified; no border, road or settlement of any period is drawn, and no line joins two points, because the rows state where and not in what order.Riblah

    The pattern

    Where Seraiah 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.

    Seraiah is named in 5 verses, and the name is written 6 times in them — occurrences of the name in the Hebrew or Greek, counted in the versification of the Berean Standard Bible (v5.7). Every book of the corpus is drawn, its width its share of the 1,189 chapters. 61 of the 66 books never write it. A verse that tells of this subject without writing the name is not counted here.
