or (Hebrews Ebyasaph', אֶבְיָסָ prob. a contraction for אֲבַיאָסָ , Abiasaph; Sept. Ἀβιασάφ and Ἀβισάφ, Vulg. Abiasaph), the son of Elkanah and father of Assir, in the genealogy of the Kohathite Levites (1 Chronicles 6:23). B.C. cir. 1660. In 1 Chronicles 6:37 he is called the son of Korah, from a comparison of which circumstance with Exodus 6:24, most interpreters have identified him with the Abiasaph (q.v.) of the latter passage; but (unless we there understand not three sons of Korah to be meant, but only three in regular descent), the pedigrees of the two cannot be made to tally without violence. (See ASSIR). From 1 Chronicles 9:19, it appears that he had a son named Kore. In 1 Chronicles 26:1, his name is abbreviated to ASAPH (See ASAPH) .
