Description
Who was Shebuel?
Shebuel (or Shubael), mentioned in 1Ch.23.16, 26:24, and 1Ch.24.20, was a Levite who descended from Gershom, one of the sons of Levi. He played a significant role in the organization of the Levitical duties during the reign of King David. In 1Ch.23.16, Shebuel is identified as the son of Gershom and the head of the fathers' houses of the Levites. Later, in 1Ch.26.24, Shebuel is appointed by David to be in charge of the treasuries of the house of God, which included the dedicated gifts and offerings. This responsibility highlights Shebuel's trustworthiness and administrative skills in managing the temple's resources. In 1Ch.24.20, Shebuel is mentioned again as a descendant of Gershom, emphasizing his Levitical lineage. The text does not provide any further details about Shebuel's life or specific achievements. However, his appointment to oversee the treasuries of the temple demonstrates the importance of the Levites' role in maintaining and managing the sacred spaces and resources dedicated 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.
