Abiel
a.vi.el is a personal name appearing in genealogical and individual identification clauses.
The attested forms function as a personal name: twice in ancestry statements connecting Kish and Abner to a named forebear, and once in the identification of an individual called “the Arbathite.”

All three occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Samuel 9:1 the APB renders a lineage clause, “Kish son of Abiel son of Zeror”; in 1 Samuel 14:51 it identifies Abner as “son of Abiel.” In 1 Chronicles 11:32 the APB lists “Abiel the Arbathite” among named individuals.
In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB presents the name directly in each verse: within ancestry clauses in 1 Samuel 9:1 and 1 Samuel 14:51, and with the designation “the Arbathite” in 1 Chronicles 11:32. Because the paraphrase is not word-aligned, these renderings show the clauses rather than a separate lexical translation.
