1. Siege construction raised against a city · dominant

   All six occurrences show the masculine singular absolute noun in siege settings. In 2 Kings 25:1 and Jeremiah 52:4, the APB renders attackers encamping against Jerusalem and building works around it; in Ezekiel 4:2 and Ezekiel 26:8, it places the construction among actions taken against a city, with mounds, camps, shields, or battering rams. Ezekiel 17:17 likewise associates it with battle and the destruction of many lives, while Ezekiel 21:27 occurs in a verse whose APB rendering does not isolate the term's contribution.
