   The proper noun names one of the sons of Anak in Numbers 13:22, Joshua 15:14, and Judges 1:10; the APB renders him among Sheshai and Talmai, living at Hebron, later dispossessed, and struck. In 1 Chronicles 9:17, the same proper-noun form appears in a list of gatekeepers, where the APB renders “Ahiman” alongside Shallum, Akkub, and Talmon.
