1. Royal realm or dominion · dominant

   The singular form names a realm bound to royal rule and succession: in 1 Kings 11:31 the APB renders the clause, “I am about to tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and give ten tribes to you,” while 1 Kings 2:46 says that it “was established in Solomon's hand.” Construct singular forms likewise occur with a throne and continuing royal house in 2 Samuel 7:13 and 2 Samuel 7:16. Plural forms extend the same reference to the several realms of the nations, as in 2 Chronicles 20:6, where the APB says that God rules “over all the kingdoms of the nations.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB commonly presents the term as “kingdom” or “kingdoms,” including a realm established in a king’s hand, a kingdom transferred to another ruler, and the kingdoms of the nations. These renderings confirm the clauses’ overall setting rather than map every English token directly to the term.
