The form is tagged Noun · Proper in all three verses. In 1 Chronicles 8:4 the APB renders “Abishua, Naaman, and Ahoah,” placing it in a sequence of names; in Ezra 7:5 it appears in the succession “son of Abishua son of Phinehas.” In 1 Chronicles 6:35, the APB renders a chain of “Son of” relationships, though it does not visibly include this name.
In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB explicitly presents “Abishua” in 1 Chronicles 8:4 and Ezra 7:5. In 1 Chronicles 6:35 it renders the surrounding genealogical sequence without visibly displaying the name; the paraphrase is not word-aligned.
