In 1 Samuel 27:10, the masculine singular gentilic occurs in David's reply about the Negeb; the APB renders the clause "upon the Negeb of the Jerahmeelite." In 1 Samuel 30:29, the same form occurs with cities, and the APB renders "the cities of the Jerahmeelites."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term in a Negeb phrase in 1 Samuel 27:10 and in the phrase "the cities of the Jerahmeelites" in 1 Samuel 30:29. These renderings confirm the clauses' setting rather than isolate every contribution of the term.
