    In 2 Chronicles 35:5, the construct singular form occurs in the instruction to stand according to divisions of the house of the fathers for the people and according to a division of the paternal house for the Levites. The APB renders the verse with “the divisions of the house of the fathers” and “the division of the house of the father.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Chronicles 35:5, the APB presents the relevant arrangement with “divisions” and “division”; These render the verse's arrangement rather than establish a finer distinction.
