Usage: The term אַרְמוֹן is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a fortified structure, often a palace or a stronghold, typically associated with royalty or significant authority. It conveys the idea of a place of security and power.

Context: • The Hebrew word אַרְמוֹן appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often describing the residences of kings or rulers. It is used to denote a place of strength and protection, reflecting the architectural and strategic importance of such structures in ancient times.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, examples of its usage include:
1 Kings 16:18: "When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the citadel of the royal palace and burned it down over himself."
Amos 3:9: "Proclaim to the citadels of Ashdod and to the citadels of Egypt: 'Assemble on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest in the city and the acts of oppression within her.'"
• The term is often associated with the grandeur and authority of the ruling class, serving as a symbol of their power and influence. In prophetic literature, the destruction or desolation of an אַרְמוֹן can symbolize the downfall of a kingdom or the judgment of God against a nation.
