Treasury of Scripture

A warm apartment suited to the season of the year, (December, when snow is often upon the ground in Palestine,) in which was a pan or brazier ({ach,} or {ikhkh,} as it is pronounced in Arabic) of burning charcoal; for we learn from Bp Pococke, and Dr. Russuel, that this was the mode in which the Orientals warmed their apartments.

Jeremiah 22:14-16 That said, I will build me a wide house and large chambers, and cuts him out windows; and it is paneled with cedar...

Context
King Jehoiakim Burns the Scroll

20And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the roll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king. 21So the king sent Jehudi to fetch the roll: and he took it out of Elishama the scribe's chamber. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes which stood beside the king. 22Now the king sat in the winter house in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him. 23And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth. 24Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words. 25Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the roll: but he would not hear them. 26But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the LORD hid them.
