Armory
From Isbe ARMORY
ar'-mer-i:
(1) ('otsar; thesauros):
A storehouse (1 Kings 7:51; Nehemiah 10:38), but employed figuratively of the stored-up anger of Yahweh which breaks forth in judgments (Jeremiah 50:25).
(2) (nesheq):
Identical with Solomon's "house of the forest of Lebanon," the arsenal close to the temple (1 Kings 10:17; Nehemiah 3:19; Isaiah 22:8), in which were stored the shields and targets of beaten gold.
(3) (talpiyoth):
A puzzling word rendered "armory" in our versions (Song of Solomon 4:4)-- "the tower of David builded for an armory, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men." the Revised Version margin renders "builded with turrets."
