1. Asa (proper name) — The proper noun אָסָא (Asa), referring primarily to Asa king of Judah (1 Kings 15-16, 2 Chronicles 14-16), the third king of the southern kingdom who reigned ~910-869 BCE, and also to a Levite in 1 Chronicles 9:16. All 58 occurrences across languages consistently render this as the same personal name: eng 'Asa', spa 'Asa', hin 'आसा', arb 'آسَا/آسا', kor '아사', swa 'Asa'. The two clusters differ only in prefixed prepositions: S83393 (47x) includes bare forms and waw-conjunction, while S83394 (11x) has the lamed-preposition ('of/to Asa'). These are grammatical particles not affecting referent identity. 58×
