mal.bush denotes clothing or garments, whether worn, supplied, prepared, or marked by what happens to them.

The term denotes items of clothing in varied scenes: attendants' attire, apparel brought out for a group, fine clothing, garments prepared as possessions, and clothing worn or defiled in action. The same usage is visible in courtly settings in 1 Kings 10:5 and 2 Chronicles 9:4, in provision in 2 Kings 10:22, and in the clothing imagery of Ezekiel 16:13, Isaiah 63:3, Job 27:16, and Zephaniah 1:8.

1. Clothing worn, supplied, or prepared · dominant

   Plural construct forms occur with the servants and attendants in 1 Kings 10:5 and 2 Chronicles 9:4; in both verses the APB renders the surrounding clauses with their "clothing" or "garments." In 2 Kings 10:22 the singular absolute form is the apparel brought out for Baal's servants, while Ezekiel 16:13, Isaiah 63:3, Job 27:16, and Zephaniah 1:8 place the term in descriptions of fine clothing, garments stained in trampling, garments prepared like clay, and those clothed with foreign garment.
