It can also denote a royal palace or the concept of kingship and reign. In the New Testament, it is often used to describe the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven, emphasizing the spiritual reign of God over the hearts and lives of believers.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greco-Roman world, a "basileion" was understood as a realm governed by a king, encompassing both the physical territory and the authority exercised by the monarch. The concept of a kingdom was central to Jewish eschatological hopes, where the anticipated Messiah would establish God's rule on earth. This understanding is reflected in the New Testament's portrayal of Jesus as the King who inaugurates God's kingdom.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/934.htm">basileios</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a palace<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>royal palaces (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>king's court. <p>Neuter of <a href="/greek/934.htm">basileios</a>; a palace -- king's court. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/934.htm">basileios</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>βασίλεια βασιλείοις βασίλειον βασιλείων<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><a href="/greek/ebasanisan_928.htm">ἐβασάνισαν — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/ebasanizen_928.htm">ἐβασάνιζεν — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basanismon_929.htm">βασανισμὸν — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basanismos_929.htm">βασανισμὸς — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basanismou_929.htm">βασανισμοῦ — 3 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basanistais_930.htm">βασανισταῖς — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basanois_931.htm">βασάνοις — 2 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basanou_931.htm">βασάνου — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basileia_932.htm">βασιλεία — 77 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basileian_932.htm">βασιλείαν — 61 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basileiois_934.htm">βασιλείοις — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basileion_934.htm">βασίλειον — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basilea_935.htm">βασιλέα — 15 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basilei_935.htm">βασιλεῖ — 6 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basileis_935.htm">βασιλεῖς — 16 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basileo_n_935.htm">βασιλέων — 11 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basileo_s_935.htm">βασιλέως — 9 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basileu_935.htm">βασιλεῦ — 9 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basileus_935.htm">βασιλεὺς — 48 Occ.</a><br><a href="/greek/basileusin_935.htm">βασιλεῦσιν — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/greek/932.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="932"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="932" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/greek/934.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="934"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="934" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
