    The form is consistently tagged as a cardinal adjective. In 1 Chronicles 18:4, the APB renders a military total of "twenty thousand foot soldiers"; in 1 Chronicles 23:24, it renders an age threshold "from twenty years old and upward"; and in 1 Kings 14:20, it renders a reign lasting "twenty-two years." Numbered allotments use the same form in 1 Chronicles 24:16, where the APB renders "the twentieth" assignment.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the numeral within larger expressions such as "one hundred and twenty" in 1 Chronicles 15:5, "twenty-four thousand" in 1 Chronicles 27:1, and ordinal-style wording such as "the twenty-first" in 1 Chronicles 24:17. These English expressions show the verse-level numerical context rather than a separate rendering for each token.
