    In 2 Chronicles 4:3, the singular construct form occurs in the clause describing two rows of cattle beneath the sea; the APB renders that clause, “two rows of the cattle were cast in its casting.” In Zechariah 4:2, the plural absolute form occurs in the lampstand description, where the APB speaks of “seven castings for the lamps.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “casting” in 2 Chronicles 4:3 and “castings” in Zechariah 4:2. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than isolate the term precisely.
