The form is tagged as a proper noun throughout. In 2 Kings 15:27 the APB renders Pekah's accession as "Pekah son of Remaliah became king over Israel," while 2 Kings 15:30 identifies the same Pekah in the account of Hoshea's conspiracy; Isaiah 7:9 places "the son of Remaliah" as the head of Samaria.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the passages, the APB commonly presents the name in the phrase "son of Remaliah," including royal notices and Isaiah's warnings. Because the APB translates whole verses rather than aligning individual words, its English phrasing is treated as confirmation of the identifying clause.
