Ezer; personal name of three individuals: a Judahite, a Gadite warrior, and a wall-builder
Ezer (meaning "help" or "helper") is a common Hebrew name borne by at least three individuals in Scripture. One was a descendant of Judah, the father of Hushah (1 Chronicles 4:4). Another was a Gadite warrior who joined David at Ziklag (1 Chronicles 12:9, English v. 10). The third was a priest who participated in Nehemiah's wall dedication ceremony (Nehemiah 12:42) and possibly the wall-builder of Nehemiah 3:19. The name reflects trust in divine assistance.

Senses
1. sense 1 — A personal name meaning "help" or "helper," attested in Phoenician and Old Hebrew inscriptions as well as biblical texts. Three distinct individuals bear this name: (1) a Judahite ancestor (1 Chronicles 4:4), (2) a Gadite warrior of David (1 Chronicles 12:10), and (3) a post-exilic leader (Nehemiah 3:19, 12:42). Transliterations are uniform: Ezer/Ézer, with some bracketing [ועזר] and [עזר]. Greek versions render as Αζερ, Εζερ. The name's popularity reflects its positive theophoric or attributive meaning (possibly short form of Azariah or similar). 4×
