[or rather SABI'E, as in the earliest editions of the A.V.] ( Σαβιή , v.r. Σαβείν ), given in 1 Esdras 5:34 as the head of one of the families of "Solomon's servants" who returned from Jerusalem; apparently a false Graecism for the ZEBAIM (See Zebaim) (q.v.) of the Heb. lists ( Ezra 2:57; Nehemiah 7:59).
