The proper-noun forms in 2 Kings 19:37 and Isaiah 37:38 identify Sharezer alongside Adrammelech as a son who strikes his father with the sword; the APB renders the name "Sharezer." In Zechariah 7:2, the form occurs in Bethel-Sharezer, who is sent with Regem-melech and his men to entreat the LORD.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "Sharezer" in 2 Kings 19:37 and Isaiah 37:38, and as part of "Bethel-Sharezer" in Zechariah 7:2. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
