Thoughts And Things Of The Bible -- Chamber
On the wall, which the Shunammite prepared for the prophet Elisha (2
Kings 4:10), was an upper chamber over the porch through the hall toward
the street. This was the "guest chamber" where entertainments
were prepared (Mark 14:14). There were also "chambers within
chambers" (1 Kings 22:25; 2 Kings 9:2). To enter into a chamber is
used metaphorically of prayer and communion with God (Isa. 26:20). The
"chambers of the south" (Job 9:9) are probably the
constelations of the southern hemisphere. The "chambers of
imagery", i.e., chambers painted with images, as used by Ezekiel
(8:12), is an expression denoting the vision the prophet had of the
abominations practised by the Jews in Jerusalem.
