The meaning of Palace in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

pal'-as: In Hebrew chiefly 'armon, in the Revised Version (British and American) text translated "castle" in I Kings 16:18; II Kings 15:25; birah, hekhal, the same word often rendered "temple"; in Greek aule, in the Revised Version (British and American) translated "court" (Matthew 26:3, Matthew 26:18, Matthew 26:69; Mark 14:54, Mark 14:66; Luke 11:21; John 18:15). On the other hand, "palace" takes the place in the Revised Version (British and American) of the King James Version "common hall" or "judgment hall" (praitorion, Matthew 27:27; John 18:28, John 18:33; John 19:9; Acts 23:35). See JUDGMENT HALL. A description of Solomon's palace is given in I Kings 7:1-12 (see TEMPLE). Archaeology has brought to light the remains of great palaces in Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria (Sargon, Sennacherib, Assurbanipal, etc.), Susa, etc.

See HOUSE.
