Saph Saph (סַף) is a figure briefly mentioned in a section of 2 Samuel which discusses four
yelide haraphah killed by Israelites. According to 2 Samuel 21:18, a war broke out between
Israel and the
Philistines. During the battle, Sibbecai the Hushathite, one of
David's Mighty Warriors, killed Saph, who was one of the four. The expression
yelide haraphah is rendered several different ways in translations of the Bible: "the descendants of Rapha" (NIV, NLT), "the descendants of the giants" (ESV, NLT), "the descendants of the giant" (NASB, Holman), and "the sons of the giant" (KJV, ASV). While most interpreters the phrase as a statement about the ancestry of the four people killed, describing them as descended from giants, another interpretation takes the phrase as meaning "votaries of Rapha," in reference to a deity by that name to which a group of warriors would have been associated.
Saraph Saraph (Hebrew: שראף) was a descendant of
Shelah, son of
Judah. (1 Chronicles 4:21-23)
Sarsekim Sarsekim, also spelled
Sarsechim, is a name or title, or a portion of a name or title, which appears in Jeremiah 39:3. Jeremiah describes Babylonian officials, some named and the rest unnamed, who according to the text sat down "in the middle gate" of Jerusalem during its destruction in 587 or 586 BCE. The portion which explicitly gives the names and/or titles of the officials reads, in Hebrew,
nrgl śr ʾṣr smgr nbw śr skym rb srys nrgl śr ʾṣr rb-mg. Various interpretations have divided the names in various ways. The
King James Version, sticking closely to the grammatical indicators added to the text by the
Masoretes during the Middle Ages, reads this as indicating six figures: "Nergalsharezer, Samgarnebo, Sarsechim, Rabsaris, Nergalsharezer, Rabmag". The
New International Version sees three characters "Nergal-Sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-Sarsekim a chief officer, Nergal-Sharezer a high official." Versions featuring these three figures, with variations in the exact details of translations, include NLT and ESV. Four figures appear in the New American Standard Bible, "Nergal-sar-ezer, Samgar-nebu, Sar-sekim the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag." In 2007, a Babylonian Tablet was deciphered containing a reference to a "Nabu-sharussu-ukin," identified as referring to the biblical figure. See

Shaaph Shaaph (שַׁעַף) appears in the second chapter of 1 Chronicles. In one translation, these verses read as follows: "And the sons of Jahdai: Regem, and Jotham, and Geshan, and Pelet, and Ephah, and Shaaph. Maacah, Caleb's concubine, bore Sheber and Tirhanah. And [the wife of] Shaaph the father of Madmannah bore Sheva the father of Machbenah and the father of Gibea. And the daughter of Caleb was Achsah" (1 Chronicles 2:47–49). The words [the wife of] do not occur in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, as Sara Japhet translates it, "And Shaaph the father of Madmannah bore Sheva . . ." but with a feminine form (
watteled) of the verb "bore," rather than the expected masculine form
wayyoled. Japhet outlines several possibilities as to how the text may originally have read., a Levite who helped
Ezra in the matter of the foreign marriages (), probably the one present at Ezra's reading of the law (), and possibly the Levite chief and overseer (). The name might mean "one born on
Sabbath", but more probably is a modification of the ethnic Zephathi (Zephathite), from
Zarephathi (Zarephathite).
Meshullam and
Jozabad, with which Shabbethai's name is combined, both originate in ethnic names. (
Encyclopaedia Biblica)

Shearjashub Shearjashub ( ''Šə'ār-yāšūḇ'') is possibly the first-mentioned son of

Isaiah 7:3. His name means "the remnant shall return" and was prophetic, offering hope to the people of Israel that although they were going to be sent into exile, and their temple destroyed, God remained faithful and would deliver "a remnant" from
Babylon and bring them back to their land. However,
Targum Pseudo-Jonathan,
Rashi, and some modern translations interpret the phrase according to the
Masoretic grammar of the
Hebrew cantillation marks, which break the sentence into ''u-sh'ar, yashuv b'nekha,
"And the remnant, of your sons which will return," viz. a phrase and not a proper noun. Pseudo-Jonathan reads "and the rest of thy disciples, who have not sinned, and who are turned away from sin," and Rashi, "The small remnant that will return to Me through you, and they are like your sons." The Brenton Septuagint Translation and Douay–Rheims Bible translate the phrase "and thy son Jasub who is left," following the Masoretic grammar but assuming that Jasub,'' "will return," is still a proper noun.
