Senses in use

Royal stores for silver · dominant
In Esther 3:9, the construct-plural form occurs in the clause about bringing ten thousand talents of silver into the king’s stores; the APB renders the clause with “the king’s treasury.” In Esther 4:7, the same construct-plural form stands in the statement that Haman proposed to weigh silver upon the king’s stores; the APB renders “the treasuries of the king.”

Stores associated with rich apparel · rare
In Ezekiel 27:24, the construct-plural form occurs within a list involving blue garments, embroidery, and rich apparel in the market description. The APB renders this portion “in treasuries of rich apparel,” though its whole-verse translation does not isolate the term’s contribution precisely.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the royal occurrences as “the king’s treasury” and “the treasuries of the king,” while Ezekiel 27:24 has “treasuries of rich apparel.” These renderings confirm the clauses’ settings rather than establish separate English equivalents.
