1. A son of Korah, a Levite (Exodus 6:24, and in the list of 1 Chronicles 6:7). 2. Son of Ebiasaph and great-grandson of Assir, son of Korah (1 Chronicles 6:8,22). 3. Son of Jeconiah, found in the genealogical lists of the kings of Judah (1 Chronicles 3:17). "Assir" is interpreted by the R. V. as "captive"; but the rendering "Jeconiah the captive" is most improbable.
