    The supplied forms are tagged as Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 9:12 the APB renders a genealogical chain ending with “Pashhur son of Malchijah”; in Jeremiah 21:1 it identifies Pashhur in the delegation sent to Jeremiah. In Nehemiah 3:14, the named person is identified as Rechab’s son and ruler of Beth-haccherem while strengthening the dung gate, and in Nehemiah 8:4 the APB includes the name among those standing beside Ezra.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB usually presents the form as “Malchijah” within names, genealogies, and narrative identifications, as in Jeremiah 38:6 and Nehemiah 3:14. Its omission of the name in 1 Chronicles 6:25 does not establish a different use of the supplied proper-noun form.
