Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 2:33, the APB renders a list in which Jonathan’s sons are “Peleth and Zaza”; in Numbers 16:1, it renders On as “son of Peleth” within a chain of named people.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Peleth” in both verses: once as Jonathan’s son and once in the phrase “son of Peleth.” These clauses identify the name’s setting rather than establish a separate English meaning.
