In 1 Chronicles 4:36 the APB renders Asaiah within a list of names; in 1 Chronicles 15:6 it identifies him as a ruler among the sons of Merari, and in 1 Chronicles 15:11 he is among the Levites David summoned. In 2 Kings 22:12 and 2 Kings 22:14, the APB includes Asaiah among those commanded by the king and then sent to speak with Huldah.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB normally presents the name as “Asaiah” in lists and narrative groups. In 1 Chronicles 6:15, the supplied whole-verse rendering does not visibly include the name, so the translation does not isolate every occurrence consistently.
