    In 2 Samuel 1:24, the plural absolute form occurs in the description of Saul clothing Israel's daughters; the APB renders the clause "who clothed you with scarlet and with delicacies." In Jeremiah 51:34, the plural construct form is what Nebuchadnezzar is said to have filled his belly with; in Psalm 36:9, another plural construct form occurs in the clause introduced by "For with you is the fountain of life," though the APB does not visibly represent the term there.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses "delicacies" in 2 Samuel 1:24 and Jeremiah 51:34. In Psalm 36:9 it renders the verse as "For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light," without an identifiable English counterpart for the term.
