I'm not sure who 'some' are, but the Masoretic text of Divre Ha'yamim
(1:4:18) reads 'Bisyah'.

[I originally wrote 'the author of Divre Ha'yamim wrote', but I
subsequently emended as above since I believe that it is far from clear
that the Biblical authors (or transcribers) actually wrote the Nikkud.]
