In 2 Chronicles 31:13 the APB renders a named overseer under appointed officials; in 2 Chronicles 35:9 it includes the name among Levite rulers who contributed Passover offerings; and in Nehemiah 8:7 it places the named person among Levites who helped the people understand the law. Ezra 10:22 and Ezra 10:23 place the name in separate family and Levite lists, while Ezra 8:33 names a person entrusted with weighed valuables.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across several list and narrative verses, the APB presents the name as “Jozabad,” including in accounts of overseers, Levite leaders, and entrusted officials. In 1 Chronicles 12:5 and 1 Chronicles 12:21, the supplied translation does not visibly preserve the name, so its individual English correspondence is not consistently recoverable from the translation alone.
