Both occurrences are masculine singular construct nouns. In 1 Samuel 18:4 the form occurs among the robe, garments, sword, and bow Jonathan gives David; the APB renders the list with “his belt.” In 2 Samuel 20:8 it occurs in the description of a sword fastened at Joab's waist; the APB again renders “a belt.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the item as “his belt” in 1 Samuel 18:4 and “a belt” in 2 Samuel 20:8. These renderings are confirmed by the surrounding clothing and sword-equipment clauses rather than treated as exact token alignment.
