Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
Let us make a little chamber - not build, but prepare it. She meant a room in the oleah, the porch, or gateway (Judges 2:20-23; 2 Samuel 18:33; 1 Kings 17:19), attached to the front of the house, leading into the court and inner apartments. The front of the house, excepting the door, is a dead wall, and hence, this room is called a chamber in the wall. It was usually appropriated to the use of strangers, or lodgers for a night, and from its seclusion, convenient for study and retirement.
