Senses in use

  1. Personal name in a genealogy · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 2:28 the APB renders the genealogy by naming Abishur among Shammai’s sons; in 1 Chronicles 2:29 it presents him in the clause concerning Abihail, his wife, and the sons she bore to him.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Abishur” in both verses: first in a list of Shammai’s sons and then in the statement about his wife and children. It confirms the genealogical setting rather than supplying a lexical definition.
