Garments cut in half · dominant
In 1 Chronicles 19:4 and 2 Samuel 10:4, the masculine plural construct form occurs in the clause where Hanun cuts the servants’ garments in half before sending them away. The APB renders the relevant action as cutting “their garments in half” in both verses.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the item as “their garments” in both cited verses and describes them as cut in half. It does not isolate the term beyond the clause’s overall presentation.
