STOOL. The KJV rendering of כִּסֵּא, H4058, (ASV SEAT, RSV CHAIR) in 2 Kings 4:10 and of אָבְנַ֫יִם, H78, (ASV, RSV BIRTHSTOOL) in Exodus 1:16. The stool consisted of two stones or bricks on which a woman sat during childbirth. Archeological remains show that the use of such seats existed in ancient Egypt.
