<p> (Hebrews Azma'veth, עִזְמָיֶת perhaps ''Strong'' as ''Death;'' Sept. Ἀσμώθ and Ἀζμώθ ), the name of three men, and also of a place. </p> <p> '''1.''' A [[Barhumite]] (or Baharumite), one of David's thirty warriors (&nbsp;2 Samuel 23:31; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 11:33), and father of two of his famous slingers (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 12:3). B.C. 1061. </p> <p> '''2.''' The second named of the three sons of [[Jehoadah]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 8:36) or [[Jarah]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:42), a descendant of Jonathan. B.C. post 1037. </p> <p> '''3.''' A son of Adiel, and overseer of the royal treasury under David and [[Solomon]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 27:25). B.C. 1014. </p> <p> '''4.''' A villae of Judah or Benjamin, and mentioned in connection with [[Geba]] (&nbsp;Nehemiah 12:29). Forty-two persons residents of this place were enrolled in the list of those that returned from the captivity at [[Babylon]] (&nbsp;Ezra 2:24; &nbsp;Nehemiah 7:28; in which latter passage the place is called BETH-AZMAVETH). The corresponding Arabic name Azment is still found in Palestine, but not in a location corresponding to the one in question (Robinson's ''Researches,'' 3, 102; De Saulcy's ''Narrative,'' 1, 91). Schwarz ''(Palest.'' p. 129) conjectures that the name of this place may have been derived from that of the Benjamite preceding; but he confounds it with Alemeth, Almon, and even Bahurim. The notices seem to point to some locality in the northern environs of Jerusalem; hence Ritter (Erdk. 16, 519) identifies it with Hizmeh, a village north of the site of [[Anathoth]] (Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 291). </p>
