Morphological NotesHNcmpc: Noun, Hiphil participle? (common interpretation as noun), common/masculine, plural, construct state; construct form indicating possession or relation, e.g., 'kings of'.[2]
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the core meaning of מלך as 'kings' derived from the root מלך meaning 'to reign or rule,' while exactly reflecting the morphology HNcmpc as a masculine noun construct plural form, which functions as 'kings of' in Hebrew genitive constructions.[1][2]
