        <p> '''''ar´mẽr''''' -'''''i''''' : (1) ( אוצר , <i> ''''''ōcar''''' </i> ; θησαυρός , <i> '''''thēsaurós''''' </i> ): 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) ( נשׁק , <i> '''''nēsheḳ''''' </i> ): 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) ( תּלפיּות , <i> '''''talpı̄yōth''''' </i> ): 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." </p> <p> . </p>

        <p> ( תִּלְפִּיּוֹה, talpiyoth', destructives, i.e. weapons, Song of [[Solomon]] 4:4), the place in which armor was deposited in times of peace. Solomon had a naval arsenal at Ezion-geber (Jeremiah 1:25; 1 Kings 9:26). There is mention made in Nehemiah 3:19, of an armory ( נֵשֶׁק, ne'shek, elsewhere armor) in Jerusalem, "at the turning of the wall," meaning probably the bend in the brow of Zion opposite the south-western corner of the Temple, near where the bridge connected them, although [[Josephus]] (Ant. 9:7, 2) speaks of the armory as being in the temple itself. This was probably the arsenal ("house of armor") which [[Hezekiah]] took so much pride in showing to the [[Babylonian]] ambassadors ( Isaiah 39:2). Dr. Barclay (City of the Great King, p. 155) thinks it was the same as "the house of the forest of Lebanon" ( 2 Kings 10:17; Isaiah 22:8), and locates it at the north- eastern corner of Zion, adjoining the north-western angle of the Xystus. (See Arsenal). </p>
