In Matthew 1:13, the accusative singular masculine form occurs in the clause where Eliakim begets the named person; the APB renders the sequence, “Eliakim then begot Azor.” In Matthew 1:14, the nominative singular masculine form identifies the same person as the one who begets Zadok; the APB renders, “Azor then begot Zadok.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Azor” in both genealogy clauses, once as the person begotten and once as the person who begot Zadok. It confirms the sequence of the verse rather than independently defining the term.
