   Both occurrences use the noun in the singular absolute. In 2 Chronicles 20:24 the APB renders Judah coming to “the lookout over the wilderness” before looking toward the multitude; in Isaiah 21:8 it renders the speaker standing continually “upon the lookout” and upon his post through the nights.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “lookout” in both verses, describing a vantage over the wilderness in 2 Chronicles 20:24 and a standing watch location in Isaiah 21:8. These renderings confirm the clauses' setting rather than isolate every nuance of the noun.
