as.sir is used as a personal name in genealogical listings, including among the sons of Jeconiah and Korah.

The attested use is as a personal name in genealogical and family-list clauses: it is named among Jeconiah's sons and among Korah's sons, while two occurrences appear in successive begetting statements whose APB wording does not display the name.

    In 1 Chronicles 3:17, the singular absolute noun occurs in the list introduced as “The sons of Jeconiah,” where the APB includes “Assir.” In Exodus 6:24 and 1 Chronicles 6:22, the proper-noun form occurs among Korah's sons; the APB renders the respective lists with “Assir.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly presents “Assir” in 1 Chronicles 3:17, Exodus 6:24, and 1 Chronicles 6:22. Although the form is also supplied for 1 Chronicles 6:7 and 1 Chronicles 6:8, the APB's begetting statements there do not display the name, so its specific contribution cannot be isolated from that translation.
