Name of the king of Goiim · dominant
In Genesis 14:1, the proper noun occurs in the clause naming Tidal as king of Goiim. In Genesis 14:9, the same proper-noun use appears in the group of four kings; the APB renders the name "Tidal king of Goiim" in both verses.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as "Tidal" and identifies him as "king of Goiim" in Genesis 14:1 and Genesis 14:9. The name’s specific correspondence is supported by the proper-noun form and its place in the king lists.
