The meaning of Palace in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)

Used now only of royal dwellings, although originally meaning simply (as the Latin word palatium, from which it is derived, shows) a building surrounded by a fence or a paling. In the Authorized Version there are many different words so rendered, presenting different ideas, such as that of citadel or lofty fortress or royal residence (Nehemiah 1:1; Daniel 8:2). It is the name given to the temple fortress (Nehemiah 2:8) and to the temple itself (I Chronicles 29:1). It denotes also a spacious building or a great house (Daniel 1:4; 4:4,29: Esther 1:5; 7:7), and a fortified place or an enclosure (Ezekiel 25:4). Solomon's palace is described in I Kings 7:1-12 as a series of buildings rather than a single great structure. Thirteen years were spent in their erection. This palace stood on the eastern hill, adjoining the temple on the south.
