Other Names in the Bible
Not every name in the Bible belongs to a person, place, or nation. This page collects titles, named objects, names of God, and other labeled entities in the KJV. There are currently 104 entries in this other-names list. It is a companion to the people and places indexes when a word functions as a title, a sacred name, or a named object rather than a personal or geographic name.
