    In 2 Kings 20:13, the feminine singular construct form occurs in the phrase rendered by the APB as “his treasure house,” followed by silver, gold, spices, oil, and articles that Hezekiah showed. Isaiah 39:2 likewise uses the construct form in the house Hezekiah showed, with its contents and storehouses named in the clause.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant phrase as “his treasure house” in 2 Kings 20:13 and “the house of his treasure” in Isaiah 39:2. These phrases indicate the clause-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent for the noun.
