    In Genesis 14:14, the masculine plural construct form occurs in the phrase concerning men born of Abram's house after he hears that his brother has been taken captive. The APB renders the clause "he emptied his trained men born of his house" and then describes their pursuit as far as Dan.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Genesis 14:14, the APB presents the group as "trained men born of his house." This rendering confirms the clause's overall presentation rather than isolating each element precisely.
