All occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper and occur in lists naming people. In 1 Chronicles 23:20 the APB renders Isshiah as Uzziel’s second son; in 1 Chronicles 24:21 it names Isshiah as the head among Rehabiah’s sons; and in 1 Chronicles 24:25 it identifies Isshiah in relation to Micah and names Zechariah among Isshiah’s sons. The name also appears among Izrahiah’s sons in 1 Chronicles 7:3, among Harim’s sons in Ezra 10:31, and in the named group of 1 Chronicles 12:7, where the APB’s wording does not clearly isolate its contribution.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB generally presents the name as “Isshiah” in family lists and relational clauses. In 1 Chronicles 12:7, although the supplied original form occurs, the APB renders only “Joelah and Zebadiah son of Jeroham from the Gedor,” so the translation does not clearly show a corresponding English name there.
