In 1 Chronicles 15:10 the APB renders Amminadab as “the ruler” from the sons of Uzziel, with his brothers. In 1 Chronicles 15:11, the same proper-noun form occurs in David’s summons of named priests and Levites.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB normally presents the proper name directly in family and leadership clauses, such as “Nahshon son of Amminadab” and “Amminadab the ruler.” In 1 Chronicles 6:7, although the supplied data marks a proper-noun occurrence, the APB wording does not visibly present the name’s contribution.
