    All five occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 9:14 and Nehemiah 11:15, the form occurs in the identification of Shemaiah as son of Hasshub; in Nehemiah 10:24 the APB renders a list including “Hallohesh, Pilha, Shobek,” while the proper-name form is present. In Nehemiah 3:11 and Nehemiah 3:23, the APB renders Hasshub among those who “strengthened” sections of work.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly renders “Hasshub” in 1 Chronicles 9:14, Nehemiah 11:15, Nehemiah 3:11, and Nehemiah 3:23. In Nehemiah 10:24 it renders only a sequence of other names, so the term's specific English presentation is unclear in that translation.
