Exegesis
The verb vayeshev {וַיֵּ֖שֶׁב | vayešeḇ} ‘and He dwelled’ takes the prepositional phrase bəvēyṯ-haḥāp̄šît {בְּבֵית־הַחָפְשִׁ֑ית | bəvēyṯ-haḥāp̄šît} ‘in the house of separation’ as its locative object.
In context — 2 Kings 15:5
And the LORD struck the king and he became a leper until the day of his death, and he lived in the house of separation. And Jotham, the king’s son, was over the house judging the people of the land.
