Both occurrences are tagged as a proper noun. In Nehemiah 11:7, the form occurs in the descent sequence naming Maaseiah as son of Ithiel; the APB renders the line as including “son of Ithiel son of Jeshaiah.” In Proverbs 30:1, the form occurs twice in the address of Agur's utterance; the APB renders it “to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name directly as “Ithiel” in both verses, once within a genealogy and twice in an address. Its wording confirms the verse contexts rather than supplying a further lexical meaning.
