Morphological NotesHNcmsc: Noun, common gender, masculine, singular, construct state; appears in construct chain as 'king of' in many contexts.
Rendering RationaleThe faithful rendering 'king' directly preserves the core semantic field of מלך (H4428), derived from the root מלך meaning 'to rule' or 'reign' (H4427), emphasizing sovereign authority[1][3]. The morphology HNcmsc (noun, common gender, masculine, singular, construct state) is reflected in the masculine singular form 'king', which matches the grammatical specifications without suffixes or plurality[1]. This maintains both root meaning and form fidelity for the Scattered Israelites Bible lexicon.
