noun
an archaic word for bedroom
n.

also bed-chamber, mid-14c., from bed (n.) + 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 (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.
