    The supplied forms are tagged Particle · Relative. In 1 Chronicles 10:7 the APB renders a clause about the men “who were in the valley,” while in 1 Chronicles 11:18 it renders the pit of Bethlehem “which is by the gate”; 1 Chronicles 16:16 similarly presents the covenant in relation to what was done with Abraham.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly represents the relative connection with words such as “who,” “which,” and “that,” though it is a whole-verse translation and may absorb the particle into English clause structure.
