Morphological NotesHNcmpc/Sp3mp: Noun, common (masculine), masculine plural construct form + 3mp pronominal suffix; absolute form is מֶלֶךְ (melek, 'king').
Rendering RationaleThe rendering 'their kings' directly reflects the morphology HNcmpc/Sp3mp, indicating a masculine noun construct plural ('kings of') with a 3rd masculine plural suffix ('their'), preserving grammatical gender, number, and possession. It maintains the root מלך's core sense of royal rulers without dilution. This form emphasizes collective royal figures tied to a masculine plural referent.
