### Core Meaning & Semantic Range
The Hebrew term `{{H2044}}` (Hâshêm) functions as a proper noun, specifically a personal name. Its base definition is given as "wealthy," with a suggested etymological connection to `{{H2829}}` (Chashum/Hashum), which also carries the meaning of "wealthy" or "rich." As a proper noun, its primary semantic function is to identify a specific individual within the biblical narrative. The meaning "wealthy" would have been the inherent significance or aspirational quality associated with the name by those who bestowed it, rather than a descriptor of the individual's character or status in every instance. The semantic range is therefore quite narrow, focused on the identity of the person named.
### Biblical Occurrences & Contextual Analysis
The name `{{H2044}}` (Hâshêm) appears in the Hebrew Bible in a singular instance:
* [[1 Chronicles 12:30]]: "Of the Benjamites, Saul’s kinsmen, 3,000, for until then a great part of them had kept allegiance with the house of Saul. And of the Gadites, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and who were swift as gazelles on the mountains: Ezer the chief, Obadiah second, Eliab third, Mishmannah fourth, Jeremiah fifth, Attai sixth, Eliel seventh, Johanan eighth, Elzabad ninth, Jeremiah tenth, Machbannai eleventh. These Gadites were chiefs of the army; the least of them could resist a hundred and the greatest a thousand. These are the men who crossed the Jordan in the first month, when it was overflowing all its banks, and put to flight all those in the valleys, to the east and to the west. Some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to David at the stronghold. David went out to meet them and said to them, 'If you have come to me peaceably to help me, my heart will be knit to you. But if to betray me to my enemies, although there is no wrong in my hands, then may the God of our fathers see and rebuke you.' Then the Spirit clothed Amasai, chief of the thirty, and he said, 'We are yours, O David, and with you, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, and peace to your helpers! For your God helps you.' Then David received them and made them officers of his troops. Some of the Manassites deserted to David when he came with the Philistines for battle against Saul. (But he did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines, after consultation, sent him away, saying, 'He will desert to his master Saul at the cost of our heads.') When he went to Ziklag, there deserted to him from Manasseh Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands in Manasseh. They helped David against the raiding band, for they were all mighty men of valor and were commanders in the army. Indeed, from day to day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army, like an army of God. These are the numbers of the divisions of the armed troops who came to David at Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul over to him, according to the word of the Lord: The sons of Judah, bearing shield and spear, 6,800 armed for war. Of the sons of Simeon, mighty men of valor for war, 7,100. Of the sons of Levi, 4,600. Jehoiada, the leader of the house of Aaron, and with him 3,700. Zadok, a young man mighty of valor, and 22 commanders from his own father's house. Of the sons of Benjamin, Saul’s kinsmen, 3,000, for until then a great part of them had kept allegiance with the house of Saul. Of the sons of Ephraim, 20,800 mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ houses. Of the half-tribe of Manasseh, 18,000, who were expressly named to come and make David king. Of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, 200 chiefs, and all their kinsmen were under their command. Of Zebulun, 50,000 seasoned troops, equipped for battle with all the weapons of war, to help David with singleness of purpose. Of Naphtali, 1,000 commanders, with whom were 37,000 men with shield and spear. Of the Danites, 28,600 equipped for battle. Of Asher, 40,000 seasoned troops, equipped for battle. Of the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, 120,000, equipped for battle with all the weapons of war. All these, men of war, who could keep battle formation, came to Hebron with a loyal heart to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were of one mind to make David king. And they were there with David for three days, eating and drinking, for their kinsmen had made preparation for them. Moreover, their kinsmen from as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali brought food on donkeys and camels and mules and oxen—provisions of flour, cakes of figs, clusters of raisins, wine, oil, oxen, and sheep in abundance, for there was joy in Israel. And of the Benjamites, Saul’s kinsmen, 3,000; for until then a great part of them had kept allegiance with the house of Saul. And of Ephraim, 20,800, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers’ houses. And of the half-tribe of Manasseh, 18,000, who were expressly named to come and make David king.
