In 2 Samuel 12:19, the Hithpael masculine plural participle describes David’s servants as whispering, and David recognizes from their conduct that the child is dead; the APB renders the clause “his servants were whispering.” Psalm 41:8 has a Hithpael imperfect masculine plural form, and Psalm 58:6 a Piel active participle masculine plural form, but their APB renderings do not visibly isolate the term’s contribution, so they support this use only at the supplied gloss level.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly renders the term as “whispering” in 2 Samuel 12:19. In Psalm 41:8 and Psalm 58:6, the translation does not make a corresponding English expression identifiable.
