Hebrew houses had a room at the top, generally built into the roof and usually connected by a private staircase to the rest of the rooms.

They were, in general, the most ventilated and comfortable rooms in the house and were used especially in summer (2 Kings 23:12), considered worthy of being dwellings for respected or distinguished guests (1 Kings 17:20). ; 2 Kings 4:10,11; Mr. 14:15; Acts 1:13; 9:37; 20:8).
