zim.mah is used as a proper personal name in genealogical and Levitical family listings.

The attested form is a proper personal name in family-line and Levitical-list contexts; 2 Chronicles 29:12 explicitly presents Joah as “son of Zimmah,” while the forms in 1 Chronicles occur in genealogical notices.

    All three forms are tagged Noun Proper. In 2 Chronicles 29:12, the form marks the father in the relation “Joah son of Zimmah”; in 1 Chronicles 6:27 and 1 Chronicles 6:5, it occurs in genealogical notices, whose APB renderings list successive family relationships.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly includes “Joah son of Zimmah” in 2 Chronicles 29:12. In its renderings of 1 Chronicles 6:27 and 1 Chronicles 6:5, the supplied genealogical wording does not visibly reproduce the name, so the translation does not consistently display the term.
