1. Elevated location or city feature · dominant

   The absolute noun occurs in 2 Kings 5:24 as the place to which someone comes before depositing items in a house; the APB renders the setting “the hill.” In Isaiah 32:14 it stands beside the watchtower in a description of abandoned city features, while in Micah 4:8 the construct form identifies an elevated location associated with the daughter of Zion; the APB likewise renders each clause with “hill.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “hill” in all three verses, though the surrounding clauses differ: arrival in 2 Kings 5:24, desolation in Isaiah 32:14, and an address to Zion in Micah 4:8. These renderings confirm the verse settings rather than establish finer distinctions.
