    In Judges 3:8, the proper-noun forms name the king into whose hand Israel was sold and whom Israel served. In Judges 3:10, the same proper-noun use names the king given into the judge’s hand in battle; the APB renders the name in both clauses.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Cushan-rishathaim” in both verses, naming the king in the clauses about Israel’s service and the judge’s victory. The verse is read as a whole.
