    All occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 2:21 the APB renders that Hezron's wife “bore Segub to him,” and in 1 Chronicles 2:22 it says that “Segub begot Jair.” In 1 Kings 16:34, the APB identifies Segub as Hiel's “youngest” in the account of setting up Jericho's gates.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name directly as “Segub” in each cited verse: as a child born to Hezron, as Jair's father, and as Hiel's youngest. These renderings confirm the verse-level identification rather than isolate every contribution of the Hebrew form.
