Dict: easton - Bed-chamber

easton:

Bed-chamber @ 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 ( kjv@2Kings:4:10; kjv@Exodus:8:3; kjv@2Kings:6:12). In kjv@2Kings:11:2 this word denotes, as in the margin of the Revised Version, a store-room in which mattresses were kept.
