All occurrences show the plural construct form in relation to a person or group. In Ezekiel 38:6 and Ezekiel 38:9, the APB renders the surrounding clauses with groups gathered with larger peoples; in Ezekiel 39:4, those groups fall alongside the addressed figure. Ezekiel 12:14, Ezekiel 17:21, and Ezekiel 38:22 likewise place them with a leader or people in scenes of scattering, sword-fall, or judgment.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the surrounding clause with “bands,” including groups that surround, accompany, advance, receive judgment, or fall. This wording confirms the verse-level portrayal rather than fixing a separate English equivalent for every token.
