Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Bed-chamber
A bed-chamber is an apartment in Eastern houses, furnished with a
slightly elevated platform at the upper end and sometimes along the
sides, on which were laid mattresses. This was the general arrangement
of the public sleeping-room for the males of the family and for guests,
but there were usually besides distinct bed-chambers of a more private
character (2 Kings 4:10; Ex. 8:3; 2 Kings 6:12). In 2 Kings 11:2 this
word denotes, as in the margin of the Revised Version, a store-room in
which mattresses were kept.
