Description
Who was Zaccur?
Zaccur was one of the sons of Asaph, a prominent Levitical musician during the reigns of King David and King Solomon. Asaph was a leader of the Levitical singers and musicians appointed by David to serve in the tabernacle and later in the temple. Zaccur, along with his brothers, was trained in music and participated in the musical worship services. In the time of Nehemiah, after the Babylonian exile, a descendant of Zaccur named Zacchur is mentioned among the musicians who played at the dedication of the rebuilt wall of Jerusalem. This suggests that Zaccur's family continued to serve as musicians in the temple for generations.
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.
The 10 best-attested of 14 are drawn. All 14 are listed below.
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.
