    The form is tagged as a proper noun in all three verses. In Joshua 11:1 the APB renders it in the phrase “the king of Achshaph,” and Joshua 12:20 again lists “the king of Achshaph”; in Joshua 19:25 the APB includes it among locations in the statement of a border.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB presents the name as “Achshaph”: twice in connection with “the king of Achshaph” and once within a border list. The verse is read as a whole, but its clauses consistently treat the term as a place-name.
