    The proper-noun forms identify Arabia among kings in 2 Chronicles 9:14 and Jeremiah 25:24; in the latter, the APB renders the clause "all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness." In Ezekiel 27:21, the APB renders Arabia alongside Kedar's leaders as traders in rams and goats, while 1 Kings 10:15 places the common masculine singular absolute form among kings and governors.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all four verses, the APB presents the term as "Arabia." The verse is read as a whole, but its clauses place Arabia with kings, governors, traders, and wilderness dwellers.
