    The supplied form is decoded as a proper noun in each occurrence. In Judges 4:2 the APB renders Sisera as living there; in Judges 4:13 it renders his troops as coming from there toward the river Kishon; and in Judges 4:16 it renders Barak's pursuit as continuing as far as that place.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB presents the term as “Harosheth of the nations” in settings of Sisera's residence, his army's movement, and Barak's pursuit. The verse is read as a whole, but it consistently treats the proper noun as a location.
