Josephus
(Ant. 12, 4, 11) mentions the bedchambers in the Arabian palace of Hyrcanus. The ordinary furniture of a bedchamber in private life is given in 2Ki_4:10. The bedchamber in the Temple where Joash was hidden was probably a store-chamber for keeping beds, not a mere bedroom, and thus better adapted to conceal the fugitives (2Ki_11:2; 2Ch_22:11). The position of the bedchamber in the most remote and secret parts of the palace seems marked in Exo_8:3; 2Ki_6:12. SEE BED.
