Strong's Lexicon armon: Palace, citadel, fortress Original Word: עַרְמוֹן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be elevated or high. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of a palace or citadel can be related to Greek terms such as "βασίλειον" (basilion - G933), meaning royal palace or kingdom. Usage: The Hebrew word "armon" primarily refers to a large, fortified building or complex, often associated with royalty or significant authority. It is used to describe palaces or citadels, places of power and governance. In the biblical context, "armon" signifies not only the physical structure but also the seat of political and military strength. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, palaces were not merely royal residences but also centers of administration and military command. They were often grand structures, symbolizing the power and wealth of the ruler. The construction of palaces was a demonstration of a king's ability to control resources and labor. In Israel, the concept of a palace was influenced by neighboring cultures, such as the Egyptians and Babylonians, who had elaborate and fortified royal complexes.
