    In 2 Samuel 2:24, the proper noun names the hill reached as Joab and Abishai pursue Abner; the APB renders the clause "they came to the hill of Ammah," and locates it before Giah on the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Samuel 2:24, the APB presents the term in the place-name phrase "the hill of Ammah." The verse is read as a whole, but the clause clearly treats it as the hill's name.
