My example and your example are like the example of Jacob and his sons.
يَعْقُوبَ — Jacob. A proper name serving as the owner term in the 'example of Jacob' possessive pairing, so it sits in the 'of'-style (genitive) ending demanded by the noun in front of it. Being a name, it is already definite, which is why it carries no al-.
