    In Nehemiah 2:10 and Nehemiah 2:19, the masculine singular gentilic form occurs with Sanballat as the APB renders his distress and later his mockery of the work. In Nehemiah 13:28, the same form again identifies Sanballat in the account of a priestly family connection.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “the Horonite” with Sanballat in all three verses. This repeated rendering is treated as confirmation of the verse-level presentation.
