3. Modifier in a pursuit question · rare

   In 1 Samuel 24:14, the masculine singular adjective occurs in David's repeated question about whom the king pursues, followed by "a dead dog" and "a single flea." The supplied APB does not make this adjective's particular contribution identifiable.

   1 Samuel 24:14

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the spatial use with "eastern," including an "eastern gate," "eastern side," and "eastern sea." In temporal contexts it uses "former," "old," and "first,", and 1 Samuel 24:14 leaves the term's contribution unclear.
