<p> ( '''''תִּלְפִּיּוֹה''''' , ''Talpiyoth', Destructives,'' i.e. ''Weapons,'' &nbsp;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; &nbsp;1 Kings 9:26). There is mention made in &nbsp;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 (&nbsp;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" (&nbsp;2 Kings 10:17; &nbsp;Isaiah 22:8), and locates it at the north- eastern corner of Zion, adjoining the north-western angle of the Xystus. (See Arsenal). </p>

<p> ''''' ar´mẽr ''''' - ''''' i ''''' : (1) (אוצר , <i> ''''' 'ōcar ''''' </i> ; θησαυρός , <i> ''''' thēsaurós ''''' </i> ): A storehouse (&nbsp;1 Kings 7:51; &nbsp;Nehemiah 10:38 ), but employed figuratively of the stored-up anger of [[Yahweh]] which breaks forth in judgments (&nbsp;Jeremiah 50:25 ). (2) (נשׁק , <i> ''''' nēsheḳ ''''' </i> ): Identical with Solomon's "house of the forest of Lebanon," the arsenal close to the temple (&nbsp;1 Kings 10:17; &nbsp;Nehemiah 3:19; &nbsp;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 (&nbsp;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>
