In some contexts, refers to a specific kingdom (e.g., Israelite, Judahite, or foreign), and in others to general sovereignty exercised by a monarch.

SIBI-P1 Translation H4467-09
your royal dominion
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular noun in construct state + 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun מַמְלָכָה derives from מלך and denotes the realm or institution arising from kingly rule. The feminine singular construct form with a 2ms suffix is preserved by rendering it as "your royal dominion," reflecting both possession and the abstract-territorial sense of kingship. |

your kingdom
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Your royal dominion' is accurate by root, but 'your kingdom' is more precise and expected in context, as the phrase refers to Saul's monarchy. The SILEX definition allows this specificity. |
