   In 2 Chronicles 27:3 the proper-noun form occurs in the clause about extensive building on its wall; in 2 Chronicles 33:14, a city wall is said to go around it. In Nehemiah 3:26 and Nehemiah 3:27, the APB renders the locality in boundary descriptions involving the water gate, a tower, and its wall, while Nehemiah 11:21 places temple servants dwelling there.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Ophel” in the building, wall, and dwelling clauses, but uses “the Ophel” in Nehemiah 3:26. These renderings confirm the verse-level locality rather than isolate a separate lexical nuance.
