A simply made object for a person to sit on (2 Kings 4:10 ). Some translate “chair” (NAS, NRSV, NIV). It is also mentioned in Exodus 1:16 (birthstool NAS, NRSV; delivery stool NIV). God is said to have a footstool where the faithful worship Him ( Psalm 99:5 ). James speaks of a footstool being in the assembly of the early church (Psalm 2:3 ).
