   In Jeremiah 51:27, the singular masculine noun occurs in the command to appoint such a figure while kingdoms and horses are being summoned; the APB renders the clause “appoint a marshal against her.” In Nahum 3:17, the plural construct form names a group alongside “Your princes,” whom the APB calls “your officials” and compares to a swarm of locusts.
