In 1 Chronicles 7:3, the form is tagged Noun · Proper and occurs first as Uzzi's son and then as the father of Michael, Obadiah, Joel, and Isshiah; the APB renders the genealogy with the name twice. In Nehemiah 12:42, also tagged Noun · Proper, it identifies the overseer in the clause where the singers made themselves heard; the APB renders "with Izrahiah the overseer."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "Izrahiah" in both verses, twice within the genealogy of 1 Chronicles 7:3 and once as "Izrahiah the overseer" in Nehemiah 12:42. The added role description in the latter verse belongs to the clause rather than necessarily to the name itself.
