Description
Who was Tikvah?
Tikvah, also referred to as Tokhath, is mentioned in 2Ki.22.14 and 2Ch.34.22 as the father of Shallum. Shallum was the husband of Huldah, a prophetess who lived in Jerusalem during the reign of King Josiah. When Josiah ordered the repair of the temple, the high priest Hilkiah discovered the Book of the Law. Josiah then sent a delegation, including Shallum, to consult Huldah regarding the words of the book. Huldah prophesied that God would bring judgment upon Judah for their unfaithfulness but that Josiah would be spared because of his repentance. No other details are provided about Tikvah's life or role. His mention serves to identify Shallum and, by extension, Huldah, who played a significant role in Josiah's religious reforms.
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.

Where Tikvah 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.
