Bronze as material for objects and supplies · dominant
The singular noun identifies the material of made or gathered items: in 1 Kings 7:15 the APB renders two pillars as made of bronze, and in 1 Samuel 17:6 it describes greaves and a javelin of the same material. It also occurs for large stores and finished temple equipment, as in 1 Chronicles 22:3 and 2 Kings 25:14; the dual form in 2 Chronicles 33:11 occurs in the clause about bronze fetters.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB regularly presents the term as “bronze,” whether it describes articles, structural items, weapons, or fetters. These renderings confirm the material context rather than assign an English word to every individual token.
