   In 2 Samuel 20:15, the singular form occurs where besiegers build an installation against the city while battering its wall; the APB renders the clause "they built a siege mound against the city." In Ezekiel 4:2 and Daniel 11:15, it belongs among actions directed against a city—setting a siege and capturing a fortified city—and the APB renders "pour out a mound against it" and "throw up a siege mound." The plural form in Jeremiah 32:24 describes such installations as having reached the city to capture it.
