    The supplied morphology consistently identifies the form as a demonstrative pronoun. In 1 Kings 3:23 it distinguishes the women and their competing claims about the living child; in 1 Samuel 25:27 the APB renders the clause "let this present"; and in 2 Chronicles 24:18 it points back to the guilt because of which wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem. It likewise marks a stated matter or result in 1 Kings 11:11 and 1 Chronicles 27:24.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously displays the demonstrative relation with words such as "this," "like this," and "because of this," while some occurrences are absorbed into the translation’s larger clause. These renderings illustrate the verse context rather than a fixed English equivalent.
