(young). Son of Azel (1 Chron. 8:38³⁸And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan. All these were the sons of Azel. (1 Chronicles 8:38)).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

Son of Azel, a Benjamite (1 Chron. 8:38³⁸And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan. All these were the sons of Azel. (1 Chronicles 8:38); 1 Chron. 9:44⁴⁴And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel. (1 Chronicles 9:44)). The LXX render the word “first-born” in both passages. An alteration in the Hebrew points would account for the difference.
