Hebron
chev.ron is a proper name used chiefly for figures in genealogical lines and once for the place where a king reigned.
The term is used predominantly as a proper name within genealogical lists, including a father with named sons and a member of Kohath's line; it also names the location where the APB says a king reigned over Judah.

The form is tagged Noun · Proper in genealogical clauses. In 1 Chronicles 2:42 the APB renders a figure as “the father of Hebron,” and 1 Chronicles 2:43 then lists “The sons of Hebron”; Exodus 6:18 and Numbers 3:19 likewise place the name among the sons of Kohath.

Place named as a reign location · rare
In 2 Samuel 5:5, the Noun · Proper form occurs in the clause locating a king's reign over Judah; the APB renders, “In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Hebron” in the genealogical lists and in the location clause of 2 Samuel 5:5. In 1 Chronicles 6:3, however, the supplied APB text does not visibly render the attested proper-noun token, so its individual contribution cannot be isolated from that translation.
