    The cardinal forms occur in enumerations of people, property, and amounts: in 1 Chronicles 21:5 the APB renders muster totals for Israel and Judah, while in 1 Kings 10:29 it renders the stated prices of a chariot and a horse. In 1 Chronicles 18:4 the clause concerns chariots left by David, and Exodus 38:25 gives a reckoned quantity of silver; both show the term functioning as a hundred-unit within larger numerical totals.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the numerical expressions with English number phrases such as "one million one hundred thousand," "six hundred," and "one hundred thousand." These phrases confirm the verse-level enumerations rather than isolating a fixed English token for each form.
