From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Parlour       (from the Fr. parler, "to speak") denotes an "audience chamber,"       but that is not the import of the Hebrew word so rendered. It       corresponds to what the Turks call a kiosk, as in Judg. 3:20       (the "summer parlour"), or as in the margin of the Revised       Version ("the upper chamber of cooling"), a small room built on       the roof of the house, with open windows to catch the breeze,       and having a door communicating with the outside by which       persons seeking an audience may be admitted. While Eglon was       resting in such a parlour, Ehud, under pretence of having a       message from God to him, was admitted into his presence, and       murderously plunged his dagger into his body (21, 22).                The "inner parlours" in 1 Chr. 28:11 were the small rooms or       chambers which Solomon built all round two sides and one end of       the temple (1 Kings 6:5), "side chambers;" or they may have       been, as some think, the porch and the holy place.                In 1 Sam. 9:22 the Revised Version reads "guest chamber," a       chamber at the high place specially used for sacrificial feasts.
