The Syriac is the same. The Septuagint in the London Polyglott has גיןץ, Abihu; but in the Complutensian and Antwerp Polyglotts it has גיב, Abiah; and the Editio Princeps of the Vulgate, some manuscripts and the text in these two Polyglotts, instead of Abiam, have Abia. 1 Chronicles 3:10, Abia, 2 Chronicles 12:16, Abijah, Matthew 1:7, Abia
