Usage: The name Segub appears in the context of genealogies and historical accounts within the Old Testament. It is used to identify specific individuals in the lineage of significant biblical figures.

Context: Segub is mentioned in the Old Testament as a descendant of notable biblical figures. The name appears in two primary contexts:

- 1 Kings 16:34: Segub is identified as the youngest son of Hiel of Bethel. Hiel rebuilt Jericho during the reign of King Ahab, and according to the curse pronounced by Joshua, Hiel laid its foundations at the cost of his firstborn, Abiram, and set up its gates at the cost of his youngest son, Segub. This account highlights the fulfillment of Joshua's curse upon anyone who would rebuild Jericho, as recorded in Joshua 6:26.

- 1 Chronicles 2:21-22: Segub is also mentioned as the son of Hezron and the father of Jair. Hezron, a descendant of Judah, married the daughter of Machir, the father of Gilead, and Segub was born to them. Segub's son, Jair, became a prominent figure, known for his control over twenty-three towns in the region of Gilead.

The name Segub, meaning "exalted," reflects the high status or significant role these individuals played in their respective narratives. The accounts of Segub in the Bible serve to illustrate the fulfillment of divine pronouncements and the continuation of genealogical lines that are crucial to the history of Israel.
