Description
Who was Ulam?
Ulam is mentioned in 1Ch.8.39-40 as a descendant of Benjamin. He was the firstborn son of Eleasah (or 'Eshek'), who was a descendant of Saul, the first king of Israel. Ulam is noted for his numerous descendants, which included 150 sons and grandsons. His descendants were known for their skill in archery, as they are described as "mighty men of valor, archers." The large number of Ulam's descendants and their military prowess suggest that he and his family played a significant role in the tribe of Benjamin during their time. The genealogy in 1Chronicles 8 traces the lineage of Saul and highlights the prominence of certain individuals within the tribe of Benjamin.
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.

The pattern
Where Ulam 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.
