    In 2 Kings 6:25, the masculine plural absolute form occurs in the price list formed during the siege of Samaria; the APB renders the clause with "a fourth of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver."

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Kings 6:25, the APB presents the item in a measured quantity, "a fourth of a kab of dove's dung," within a famine price list. That wording cannot isolate the lemma's contribution beyond the verse's sales context.
