Reference: Fortress
Morish
The terms 'fortress,' 'stronghold,' and 'castle' mostly refer to a part of a city that was more strongly fortified than by the mere walls. Pr 18:19 speaks of the 'bars of a castle.' There was such a place in Jerusalem when the city was taken by David, which was held by the Jebusites. 2Sa 5:6-7. The Romans had a 'castle' in Jerusalem, to which Paul was carried when he was seized by the Jews. Ac 21:34,37. This may have been the same that was called ANTONIA, a fortress built by Herod the Great, adjoining the temple, as described by Josephus: Wars, 5:5. 8. The Psalmist often calls Jehovah his rock and fortress. Ps 18:2; 31:3; 71:3; 91:2.
