    In Judges 3:20, the feminine singular absolute noun occurs in the clause describing a private upper room where Ehud approaches the seated ruler; the APB renders it "the upper room of the cool." In Judges 3:24, the same form occurs as servants find the upper-room doors locked and suppose he is in "the chamber of the cool."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the setting as "the upper room of the cool" in Judges 3:20 and "the chamber of the cool" in Judges 3:24. These phrases show the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
