The singular absolute noun occurs in the accounts of the afflicted king’s residence. In 2 Chronicles 26:21 the APB renders Uzziah as living “in a separate house,” and in 2 Kings 15:5 it likewise says that he “lived in a separate house” while Jotham governed the household.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the surrounding clause as the king living “in a separate house.” That wording cannot by itself identify the noun’s precise English rendering.
