Usage: Azubah is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Azubah is a feminine proper noun found in the Hebrew Bible, appearing in the context of genealogical records. There are two notable mentions of individuals named Azubah:

• Azubah, wife of Caleb: Azubah is mentioned as the wife of Caleb, the son of Hezron, in 1 Chronicles 2:18-19. Caleb is a significant figure in the tribe of Judah, and Azubah is noted as the mother of several of his children. The passage states: "Caleb son of Hezron had children by his wife Azubah and by Jerioth. These were her sons: Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon." (BSB)

• Azubah, mother of Jehoshaphat: Another Azubah is mentioned as the mother of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. She is identified as the daughter of Shilhi in 1 Kings 22:42 and 2 Chronicles 20:31. Jehoshaphat was a king known for his religious reforms and efforts to bring the people of Judah back to the worship of Yahweh. The text in 1 Kings 22:42 states: "Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi." (BSB)

The name Azubah, meaning "forsaken," may reflect a cultural or familial significance, though the biblical text does not provide specific details about the circumstances or reasons for the name.
