   In 1 Chronicles 28:17, the singular absolute form occurs in a list that the APB renders with forks, bowls, and pitchers, followed by gold and silver items. In Ezra 1:10 and Ezra 8:27, plural construct forms occur in enumerations that the APB renders as gold bowls or gold bowls worth a stated value; the surrounding lists identify these as counted vessels.
