Why can I find no entry for the woman who is the Mother of Shaul? What should I be looking under?

Also MIA is the wife of Eleazar aka daughter of Putiel.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    We haven't yet shipped the dataset documentation for Biblical People (there's a lot to document!): but IIRC, as a matter of expediency, we only assigned unique identifiers to unnamed people who occurred at least five times in the text (or had some other rationale for distinguishing them). Otherwise we'd have piled up a lot of identifiers with virtually no information, which clutters other parts of the interface (like Factbook).

    Example: in Gen 22:3, Abraham takes "two of his young men" with him to prepare to sacrifice Isaac. These young men are mentioned three times in this passage but not elsewhere, so we've curated no further information about them besides the generic "A servant".
