Description
Who was Zimmah?
Zimmah was a Levite who lived during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah. He was a descendant of Asaph, one of the principal musicians appointed by David to lead worship in the temple. In 2Chronicles 29, Zimmah is mentioned as one of the Levites who participated in the purification and rededication of the temple, which had been neglected during the reign of the previous king, Ahaz. Hezekiah initiated a series of religious reforms, including the cleansing of the temple and the restoration of proper worship practices. Zimmah, along with other Levites from the families of Kohath and Merari, played a role in this important process of spiritual renewal. The participation of the Levites in the temple purification demonstrates their continued significance in maintaining the religious life of Judah, even during times of religious decline.
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.
