Killing of kings · dominant
In Hebrews 7:1, the genitive singular feminine form occurs in the phrase describing Abraham's return after the kings had been killed; the APB renders the clause “as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Hebrews 7:1, the APB presents the event as “the slaughter of the kings.” This rendering confirms the clause's overall setting rather than isolating every contribution of the Greek form.
