a-has'-bi ('achacbay, "blooming"): The father of Eliphelet, a Maacathite, a soldier in David's army (2Sa 23:34). He was either a native of Abel-beth-maacah (2Sa 20:14) or, more probably, of Maacah in Syria (2Sa 10:6). The list in1Ch 11:35,36gives different names entirely. Here we have Ur and Hepher, which simply show that the text is corrupt in one or both places.
