    Both occurrences use a common masculine singular absolute noun in accusations about a city's past conduct. In Ezra 4:15 the APB renders the surrounding charge as "rebellion has been carried on in her midst," while in Ezra 4:19 it reports that "rebellion and revolt have been done in it" after the city is said to have risen against kings.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the accusation with "rebellion" in both verses, adding "revolt" in Ezra 4:19; That addition cannot be assigned specifically to this term.
