Description
Who was Shemaiah?
Shemaiah was a Levite who served as a scribe during the reign of King David. In 1Ch.24.6, he is described as the son of Nethanel, a Levite. When David organized the divisions of the priests for their service in the temple, Shemaiah was the scribe who recorded the allotment of duties. He worked alongside Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the priests and Levites. Shemaiah's role as a scribe demonstrates the importance of accurate record-keeping in the administration of the temple services.
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.
