ya.qim is used as a proper name in a priestly allotment and in a list of people.

The attested form functions as a proper name: it appears in the naming of a twelfth allotment in 1 Chronicles 24:12 and in a list alongside other names in 1 Chronicles 8:19.

Senses in use

  1. Proper name in allotment and name lists · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 24:12 the APB renders the allotment clause “the twelfth to Jakim”; in 1 Chronicles 8:19 it renders a sequence of names, “Jakim, Zichri, and Zabdi.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Jakim” in both verses: once within an allotment statement and once in a list of names. It confirms the verse-level presentation rather than isolating the term beyond its proper-name use.
