Senses in use

  1. Feminine Jezreel designation for Ahinoam · dominant

    In 1 Samuel 27:3 and 2 Samuel 2:2, the feminine singular gentilic form occurs with Ahinoam among David's two wives; the APB renders her as “Ahinoam the Jezreelitess.” In 1 Samuel 30:5, the same designation identifies Ahinoam when David's two wives are said to have been taken captive, while 1 Chronicles 3:1 and 2 Samuel 3:2 identify her as Amnon's mother.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all cited verses, the APB presents the designation as “the Jezreelitess” attached to Ahinoam's name. This confirms the verse-level presentation rather than establishing a separate English sense.
