    The supplied morphology marks the form as a proper noun throughout. In Numbers 13:4 the APB renders the clause "Shammua son of Zaccur," while 1 Chronicles 4:26 places the name in a father-to-son genealogy. In 1 Chronicles 25:2 it occurs among Asaph's sons, and Nehemiah 3:2 names "Zaccur son of Imri" as a builder.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally presents the term as "Zaccur" in personal names and genealogical identifications, such as "son of Zaccur." In Nehemiah 10:13, although the original-language form is supplied, the APB verse gives only "Hodiah, Bani, Beninu," so its individual contribution is not visible there.
