reigning ones

Morphological NotesHNcmpa: Hebrew noun, common gender (functionally masculine), masculine plural, absolute state, participle form (from verbal root מָלַךְ 'to reign').[2]
Rendering Rationale'Reigning ones' preserves the root מלך meaning 'to reign' by using a participle form that directly evokes ongoing royal rule, avoiding generic 'kings' to highlight the dynamic action of kingship; it reflects the HNcmpa morphology as a masculine plural participle with no pronominal suffixes.[2][3]
