ash.chur is used as the personal name of the father of Tekoa in genealogical notices.

The attested use is a proper personal name: both verses identify the named individual as the father of Tekoa, once within a birth notice and once in a notice about his two women.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name in genealogical notices · dominant

    The form is tagged Noun · Proper in both occurrences. In 1 Chronicles 2:24 the APB renders a birth notice in which Abijah bore the named man, identified as the father of Tekoa; in 1 Chronicles 4:5 it renders the same named man as the father of Tekoa and states that he had Helah and Naarah.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Ashhur” in both verses, identifying him as “the father of Tekoa.” Its wording is treated only as confirmation of the genealogical context.
