In 1 Kings 22:34 and 2 Chronicles 18:33, the masculine singular noun occurs in the king's instruction to turn and take or bring him out of the camp after he is wounded. In 2 Kings 9:17, the same singular noun names the person Jehoram orders sent to meet Jehu's approaching company and ask whether it is peace.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the noun as "charioteer" in all three verses. This shared rendering is confirmation of the verse contexts rather than a precise lexical mapping.
