In 1 Chronicles 11:29 and 2 Samuel 23:27, the masculine singular absolute form follows the names Sibbecai and Mebunnai in lists; the APB renders the phrases “Sibbecai the Hushathite” and “Mebunnai the Hushathite.” The same designation identifies Sibbecai in 1 Chronicles 20:4 and 2 Samuel 21:18, where the APB renders his striking down an adversary in war, and in 1 Chronicles 27:11, where he is set over the eighth month.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all five verses, the APB presents the term with “the Hushathite” after a personal name. This shows the verse-level presentation rather than isolating every aspect of the term's contribution.
