    The form is consistently tagged Noun · Proper and identifies individuals in varied settings. In 1 Chronicles 3:19 the APB renders it within Zerubbabel's family list; in 2 Chronicles 26:11 it names an official under whom military records are organized; in Daniel 1:7 it identifies the person called Shadrach; and in Jeremiah 28:1 it names the prophet who speaks before priests and people.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally presents the proper name as “Hananiah,” whether in lists, appointments, or narrative speech. In Nehemiah 10:24, however, the supplied APB line does not visibly include the name, so the translation does not consistently make every occurrence identifiable in English.
