al.gum.mim denotes a material brought as wood and made into steps and musical instruments.

The occurrences present al.gum.mim as a plural material: it is brought as wood in 2 Chronicles 9:10 and then made into steps, lyres, and harps in 2 Chronicles 9:11; 2 Chronicles 2:7 places the same form within a request concerning skilled work, though its precise contribution there is less clear from the paraphrase.

1. Wood material for construction and instruments · dominant

   In 2 Chronicles 9:10 the APB renders the clause that servants brought “algum wood” with gold and precious stone. In 2 Chronicles 9:11, the same masculine plural absolute form is material from which the king made steps, lyres, and harps.

2. Material named in a skilled-work request · occasional

   In 2 Chronicles 2:7, the masculine plural absolute form occurs in a request for a wise worker alongside gold, silver, bronze, iron, colored materials, and engraving. The APB does not plainly isolate this term's contribution in its rendering of the verse.

   2 Chronicles 2:7

In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB explicitly presents the term as “algum wood” in 2 Chronicles 9:10 and 2 Chronicles 9:11. In 2 Chronicles 2:7, its specific rendering is not clear because the paraphrase is not word-aligned.
