In 1 Kings 10:16 and 1 Kings 10:17, the passive participle occurs in clauses describing gold alongside Solomon's making of shields. The same construction recurs in 2 Chronicles 9:15 and 2 Chronicles 9:16, where the APB presents the verses' gold-and-shield descriptions with “beaten gold.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all four verses, the APB includes “beaten gold” in its presentation of the gold-and-shield clauses. This wording confirms the clause-level presentation rather than isolating a precise English equivalent for the term.
