qo.re is a personal name borne by men identified through family and service relationships in Chronicles.

The attested forms are proper-noun uses identifying a person named in lineage and service contexts: a gatekeeper's father in 1 Chronicles 26:1, an ancestor in Shallum's line in 1 Chronicles 9:19, and a Levite gatekeeper in 2 Chronicles 31:14.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name in lineage and service records · dominant

    All three occurrences are tagged as a proper noun. In 1 Chronicles 26:1 the APB renders “Meshelemiah son of Kore”; in 1 Chronicles 9:19 it places Kore in Shallum's ancestry; and in 2 Chronicles 31:14 it names Kore as Imnah's son and an east gatekeeper overseeing offerings.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Kore” in each verse, within patronymic and service descriptions. These name renderings are confirmed by the proper-noun morphology and clause context.
