So Bathsheba visited the king in his private quarters. (The king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was serving the king.)

On top of each stand was a round opening three-quarters of a foot deep; there were also supports and frames on top of the stands.

They marched out at noon, while Ben Hadad and the thirty-two kings allied with him were drinking heavily in their quarters.

When Ben Hadad received this reply, he and the other kings were drinking in their quarters. He ordered his servants, “Get ready to attack!” So they got ready to attack the city.

The palace where he lived was constructed in a similar way. He also constructed a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married.
