2. A Simeonite; the father of Shemuel; appointed by Moses to help divide the land of Canaan (Num 34:20).

4. The father of Talmai, king of Geshur, to whom Absalom fled after the murder of his brother Amnon (2 Sam 13:37). The Kethibh of this verse reads “Ammihur,” but the reading “Ammihud,” followed by the KJV and the RSV, is favored.
