Jeremiah 36:22  (King James Version)
Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.
 


A warm apartment suited to the season of the year, (December, when snow is often upon the ground in Palestine,) in which was a pan or brazier ({ach,} or {ikhkh,} as it is pronounced in Arabic) of burning charcoal; for we learn from Bp. Pococke, and Dr. Russel, that this was the mode in which the Orientals warmed their apartments.
