Armoury
Easton's Bible Dictionary
The place in which armour was deposited when not used (Neh 3:19; Jer 50:25). At first each man of the Hebrews had his own arms, because all went to war. There were no arsenals or magazines for arms till the time of David, who had a large collection of arms, which he consecrated to the Lord in his tabernacle (1 Sa,. 21:9; 2 Sam 8:7-12; 1 Chr 26:26, 27).

Armory
ar'-mer-i:
(1) ('otsar; thesauros): A storehouse (1 Kgs 7:51; Neh 10:38), but employed figuratively of the stored-up anger of Yahweh which breaks forth in judgments (Jer 50:25).
(2) (nesheq): Identical with Solomon's "house of the forest of Lebanon," the arsenal close to the temple (1 Kgs 10:17; Neh 3:19; Isa 22:8), in which were stored the shields and targets of beaten gold.
(3) (talpiyoth): A puzzling word rendered "armory" in our versions (Song 4:4)-- "the tower of David builded for an armory, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men." the Revised Version margin renders "builded with turrets."
