   In 1 Kings 14:28, the construct singular occurs in the clause where guards return the carried items; the APB renders the destination as “the guardroom.” In Ezekiel 40:7, Ezekiel 40:12, Ezekiel 40:13, Ezekiel 40:16, and Ezekiel 40:21, singular and plural forms identify units whose size, roofs, windows, and placement within the gate are described; the APB renders these units as “chamber” or “chambers.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB usually presents the term as “chamber” or “chambers” in the gate measurements, while in the guard narrative it renders the destination “the guardroom.” These renderings show the verse context rather than a separate meaning for each English expression.
