CIELED, CIELING (Amer. RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘ceiled,’ ‘ceiling’). The latter occurs only 1 Kings 6:15 , where it has its modern signification (reading, however, ‘unto the beams [or rafters] of the cieling).’ The verb, on the other hand, should everywhere be rendered ‘ panelled ’ ( 2 Chronicles 3:5 , Jeremiah 22:14 , Ezekiel 41:16 , Haggai 1:4 ‘your panelled houses’), the reference being to the panels of cedar or other costly wood with which the inner walls were lined. See House, § 4.
