The upper chamber of Ahaziah in 2Ki 1:2 was evidently in the 2nd story of the building. On the upper chambers of the temple (1Ch 28:11; 2Ch 3:9), see TEMPLE. The large upper room which was the scene of the Last Supper, with that in Act 1:13, was also plainly an upper-story chamber. That in Act 20:8 was in the 3rd story (at Miletus, a Greek city). See also HOUSE.
