In 2 Kings 10:27, the feminine plural absolute form occurs after the house of Baal is torn down and made into such a place; the APB renders the resulting clause, "and made it into a sewer for refuse until this day."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 2 Kings 10:27, the APB presents the clause as making the demolished house "into a sewer for refuse." That wording confirms the clause's setting rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
