    All five occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Job 8:1, Job 18:1, and Job 25:1 the APB renders the introductory clause "Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,"; in Job 2:11 and Job 42:9 it places him alongside Eliphaz and Zophar in their actions concerning Job.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as "Bildad the Shuhite" in every supplied verse: as the speaker in Job 8:1, Job 18:1, and Job 25:1, and among the named companions in Job 2:11 and Job 42:9. This reflects the translation’s presentation of the clauses rather than a word-by-word alignment.
