   The masculine singular absolute form is attached to named individuals: in Judges 10:3 the APB renders Jair as “the Gileadite,” while Judges 11:1, Judges 11:40, and Judges 12:7 identify Jephthah in accounts of his life, daughter, death, and burial. The same singular form identifies Barzillai in 1 Kings 2:7 and Ezra 2:61; the masculine plural absolute form in 2 Kings 15:25 refers collectively to fifty men “of the Gileadites.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the singular form as “the Gileadite” when it accompanies Jair, Jephthah, or Barzillai, and uses “the Gileadites” for the plural group in 2 Kings 15:25. These renderings confirm the verse-level identification without fixing every nuance of the Hebrew term.
