- H>@ - consists of three chapters, in the first of which he foreshadows the invasion of Judea by the Chaldeans, and in the second he foretells the doom of the Chaldeans.

HACHMONI
- H>@ - (wise) Son of, and The Hach’monite. ( kjv@1Chronicles:11:11 kjv@1Chronicles:27:32) Hachmon or Hachmoni was no doubt the founder of a family to which these men belonged: the actual father of Jashobeam was Zabdiel, ( kjv@1Chronicles:27:2) and he is also said to have belonged to the Korhites. ( kjv@1Chronicles:12:6) (B.C. before 1046.)
HADAD
- H>@ - (mighty), originally the indigenous appellation of the sun among the Syrians, and thence transferred to the king as the highest of earthly authorities. The title appears to have been an official one, like Pharaoh. It is found occasionally in the altered form Hadar. kjv@Genesis:25:15 kjv@Genesis:36:39) compared with 1Chr 1:30,50 Son of Ishmael. kjv@Genesis:25:15; kjv@1Chronicles:1:30) A king of Edom who gained an important victory over the Midianites on the field of Moab. kjv@Genesis:36:35; kjv@1Chronicles:1:46) Also a king of Edom, with Pau for his capital.

After the first repulse of the Ammonites and their Syrian allies by Joab, Hadarezer sent his army to the assistance of his kindred the people of Maachah, Rehob and Ishtob. ( kjv@1Chronicles:19:16; 2 Samuel 10:15) comp. 2Sam 10:8 Under the command of Shophach or Shobach, the captain of the host, they crossed the Euphrates, joined the other Syrians, and encamped at a place called Helam. David himself came from Jerusalem to take the command of the Israelite army. As on the former occasion, the route was complete.
HADASHAH
- H>@ - (new), one of the towns of Judah, in the maritime low country, kjv@Joshua:16:37) only, probably the ADASA of the Maccabean history.
HADASSAH
- H>@ - (myrtle), probably the earlier name of Esther. kjv@Esther:2:7)
HADATTAH
- H>@ - (new). According to the Authorized Version, one of the towns of Judah in the extreme south. kjv@Joshua:15:25)
HADES
- H>@ - in Revised Version.
See HELL
HADID
- H>@ - (sharp), a place named, with Lod (Lydda) and Ono, only in the later books of the history. kjv@Ezra:2:33; kjv@Nehemiah:7:37 kjv@Nehemiah:11:34) In the time of Eusebius a town called Aditha or Adatha existed to the east of Diospolis (Lydda). This was probably Hadid.
HADLAI
- H>@ - (rest of God), a man of Ephraim. ( kjv@2Chronicles:28:12)
HADORAM
- H>@ - (noble honor). The fifth son of Joktan. kjv@Genesis:10:27; kjv@1Chronicles:1:21) His settlements, unlike those of many of Joktan’s sons, have not been identified. Son of Tou or Toi king of Hamath; his father’s ambassador to congratulate David on his victory over Hadarezer king of Zobah. ( kjv@1Chronicles:18:10) (B.C. 1035.) The form assumed in Chronicles by the name of the intendant of taxes under David, Solomon and Rehoboam. ( kjv@2Chronicles:10:18) In Kings the name is given in the longer form of ADONIRAM, but in Samuel, (2 Samuel 20:24) as ADORAM.
HADRACH
- H>@ - (dwelling), a country of Syria, mentioned once only, by the prophet Zechariah. kjv@Zechariah:9:1) The addition of the district, with its borders, is here generally stated; but the name itself seems to have wholly disappeared. It still remains unknown.
HAGAB
- H>@ - (locust). Bene
- Hagab were among the Nethinim who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel. kjv@Ezra:2:46) (B.C. before 536.)
HAGABA
- H>@ - (locust). Bene Hagaba were among the Nethinim who came back from captivity with Zerubbabel. kjv@Nehemiah:7:48) The name is slightly different in form from
HAGA BAH
- H>@ - under which it is found in the parallel list of kjv@Ezra:2:45)
HAGAR
- H>@ - (flight), an Egyptian woman, the handmaid or slave of Sarah, kjv@Genesis:16:1) whom the latter gave as a concubine to Abraham, after he had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan and had no children by Sarah. ch kjv@Genesis:16:2-3) (B.C. 1912.) When Hagar saw that she had conceived, "her mistress was despised in her eyes," kjv@5:4, and Sarah, with the anger, we may suppose, of a free woman rather than of a wife, reproached Abraham for the results of her own act. Hagar fled, turning her steps toward her native land through the great wilderness traversed by the Egyptian road. By the fountain in the way to Shur the angel of the Lord found her, charged her to return and submit herself under the hands of her mistress, and delivered the remarkable prophecy respecting her unborn child recorded in vs. 10-12. On her return she gave birth to Ishmael, and Abraham was then eighty-six years old. When Ishmael was about sixteen years old, he was caught by Sarah making sport of her young son Isaac at the festival of his weaning, and Sarah demanded the expulsion of Hagar and her son. She again fled toward Egypt, and when in despair at the want of water, an angel again appeared to her, pointed out a fountain close by, and renewed the former promises to her. kjv@Genesis:21:9-21) St. Paul, kjv@Galatians:4:25) refers to her as the type of the old covenant of the law.
HAGARENES, HAGARITES
- H>@ - (named after Hagar), a people dwelling to the east of Palestine, with whom the tribes of Reuben made war in the time of Saul. ( kjv@1Chronicles:5:10 kjv@1Chronicles:5:18-20) The same people, as confederate against Israel, are mentioned in kjv@Psalms:83:6) It is generally believed that they were named after Hagar, and that the important town and district of Hejer , on the borders of the Persian Gulf, represent them.
HAGERITE, THE
- H>@ - Jaziz the Hagerite, i.e. the descendant of Hagar, had the charge of David’s sheep. ( kjv@1Chronicles:27:31)
HAGGAI
- H>@ - (festive), the tenth in order of the minor prophets, and first of those who prophesied after the captivity. With regard to his tribe and parentage history and tradition are alike silent.
HAGGAI, PROPHECY OF
- H>@ - The style of Haggai is generally tame and prosaic, though at times it rises to the dignity of severe invective when the prophet rebukes his countrymen for their selfish indolence and neglect of God’s house. But the brevity of the prophecies is so great, and the poverty of expression which characterizes them so striking, as to give rise to a conjecture, not without reason, that in their present form they are but the outline or summary of the original discourses. They were delivered in the second year of Darius Hystaspes (B.C. 620), at intervals from the 1st day of the 6th month to the 24th day of the 9th month in the same year.
HAGGERI
- H>@ - (wanderer) was one of the mighty men of David’s guard, according to ( kjv@1Chronicles:11:38) The parallel passage
(2 Samuel 23:36)
has "Bani the Gadite," which is probably the correct reading. (B.C. 1046.)
HAGGI
- H>@ - (festive), second son of Gad. kjv@Genesis:46:16; kjv@Numbers:26:15)
HAGGIAH
- H>@ - (festival of Jehovah), a Merarite Levite. ( kjv@1Chronicles:6:30)
HAGGITES, THE
- H>@ - a Gadite family sprung from Haggi. kjv@Numbers:26:15)
HAGGITH
- H>@ - (festive; a dancer), one of David’s wives, the mother of Adonijah. (2 Samuel kjv@3:4; Kings:1:6) (B.C. 1053.)
HAI
- H>@ - Same as AI.
HAIR
- H>@ - The Hebrews were fully alive to the importance of the hair as an element of personal beauty. Long hair was admired in the case of young men. (2 Samuel 14:26) In times of affliction the hair was altogether cut off. kjv@Isaiah:3:17 kjv@Isaiah:3:24 kjv@Isaiah:15:2; kjv@Jeremiah:7:29) Tearing the hair kjv@Ezra:9:3) and letting it go dishevelled were similar tokens of grief. The usual and favorite color of the hair was black, (Solomon kjv@5:11) as is indicated in the comparisons in (Solomon kjv@1:5; 4:1) a similar hue is probably intended by the purple of (Solomon kjv@7:6) Pure white hair was deemed characteristic of the divine Majesty. kjv@Daniel:7:9; kjv@Revelation:1:14) The chief beauty of the hair consisted in curls, whether of a natural or an artificial character. With regard to the mode of dressing the hair, we have no very precise information; the terms used are of a general character, as of Jezebel, ( kjv@2Kings:9:30) and of Judith, ch. 10:3, and in the New Testament, ( kjv@1Timothy:2:9; kjv@1Peter:3:3) The arrangement of Samson’s hair into seven locks, or more properly braids, kjv@Judges:16:13 kjv@Judges:16:19) involves the practice of plaiting, which was also familiar to the Egyptians and Greeks. The locks were probably kept in their place by a fillet, as in Egypt. The Hebrews like other nations of antiquity, anointed the hair profusely with ointments, which were generally compounded of various aromatic ingredients, kjv@Ruth:3:3; 2 Samuel 14:2; kjv@Psalms:23:6 kjv@Psalms:92:10; kjv@Ecclesiastes:9:8) more especially on occasions of festivity or hospitality. kjv@Luke:7:46) It appears to have been the custom of the Jews in our Saviour’s time to swear by the hair, kjv@Matthew:5:36) much as the Egyptian women still swear by the side-locks, and the men by their beards.
HAKKATAN
- H>@ - (young). Johanan son ,of Hakkatan, was the chief of the Bene
- Azgad who returned from Babylon with Ezra. kjv@Ezra:8:12)
HAKKOZ
- H>@ - (thorn), a priest, the chief of the seventh course in the service of the sanctuary, as appointed by David. ( kjv@1Chronicles:24:10) In kjv@Ezra:2:61) and Nehe 3:4,21 The name occurs again as Koz in the Authorized Version.
HAKUPHA
- H>@ - (bent). Bene
- Hakupha were among the Nethinim who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel. kjv@Ezra:2:61; kjv@Nehemiah:7:63)
HALAH
- H>@ - is probably a different place from the Calah of kjv@Genesis:10:11) It may be identified with the Chalcitis of Ptolemy.
HALAK
- H>@ - (smooth), The mount, a mountain twice, and twice only, named, was the southern limit of Joshua’s conquests, kjv@Joshua:11:17 kjv@Joshua:12:7) but which has not yet been identified.
HALHUL
- H>@ - (trembling), a town of Judah in the mountain district. kjv@Joshua:16:68) The name still remains unaltered attached to a conspicuous hill a mile to the left of the road from Jerusalem to Hebron, between three and four miles from the latter.
HALI
- H>@ - (necklace), a town on the boundary of Asher, named between Helkath and Beten. kjv@Joshua:19:25)
HALL
- H>@ - used of the court of the high priest’s house. kjv@Luke:22:55) In kjv@Matthew:27:27) and kjv@Mark:15:16 "Hall" is synonymous with "praetorium," which in kjv@John:18:28) is in Authorized Version "judgment hall."
HALLELUJAH
- H>@ - (praise ye the Lord). ALLELUIA
HALLOHESH
- H>@ - (enchanter), one of the chief of the people who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah. kjv@Nehemiah:10:24) (B.C. 410.)
HALOHESH
- H>@ - Shallum, son of Halohesh was "ruler of the half part of Jerusalem" at the time of the repair of the wall by Nehemiah. kjv@Nehemiah:3:12) (B.C. 446.)
HAM
- H>@ - (hot; sunburnt). The name of one of the three sons of Noah, apparently the second in age. (B.C. 2448.) Of the history of Ham nothing is related except his irreverence to his father and the curse which that patriarch pronounced. The sons of Ham are stated, to have been "Cush and Mizraim and Phut and Canaan." kjv@Genesis:10:6) comp. 1Chr 1:8 Egypt is recognized as the "land of Ham" in the Bible. kjv@Psalms:78:51 kjv@Psalms:105:23 kjv@Psalms:106:22 ) The other settlements of the sons of Ham are discussed under their respective names. The three most illustrious Hamite nations
the Cushites, the Phoenicians and the Egyptians
were greatly mixed with foreign peoples. Their architecture has a solid grandeur that we look for in vain elsewhere. According to the present text, kjv@Genesis:14:5) Chedorlaomer and his allies smote the Zuzim in a place called Ham, probably in the territory of the Ammonites (Gilead), east of the Jordan.
HAMAN
- H>@ - (magnificent), the chief minister or vizier of King Ahasuerus. kjv@Esther:3:1) (B.C. 473.) After the failure of his attempt to cut off all the Jews in the Persian empire, he was hanged on the gallows which he had erected for Mordecai. The Targum and Josephus interpret the inscription of him
the Agagite
as signifying that he was of Amalekitish descent. The Jews hiss whenever his name is mentioned on the day of Purim.
HAMATH
- H>@ - (fortress), the principal city of upper Syria, was situated in the valley of the Orontes, which it commanded from the low screen of hills which forms the water-shed between the source of the Orontes and Antioch. The Hamathites were a Hamitic race, and are included among the descendants of Canaan. kjv@Genesis:10:18) Nothing appears of the power of Hamath until the time of David. (2 Samuel kjv@8:9) Hamath seems clearly to have been included in the dominions of Solomon. (Kings:4:21-24) The "store-cities" which Solomon "built in Hamath," ( kjv@2Chronicles:8:4) were perhaps staples for trade. In the Assyrian inscriptions of the time of Ahab (B.C. 900) Hamath appears as a separate power, in alliance with the Syrians of Damascus, the Hittites and the Phoenicians. About three-quarters of a century later Jeroboam the Second "recovered Hamath." ( kjv@2Kings:14:28) Soon afterwards the Assyrians took it, ( kjv@2Kings:18:34 kjv@2Kings:19:13) etc., and from this time it ceased to be a place of much importance. Antiochus Epiphanes changed its name to Epiphaneia. The natives, however, called it Hamath even in St. Jerome’s time, and its present name, Hamah , is but slightly altered from the ancient form.
HAMATHZOBAH
- H>@ - (fortress of Zobah), ( kjv@2Chronicles:8:3) has been conjectured to be the same as Hamath. But the name Hamath
- Zobah would seem rather suited to another Hamath which was distinguished from the "Great Hamath" by the suffix "Zobah."
HAMATHITE, THE
- H>@ - one of the families descended from Canaan, named last in the list. kjv@Genesis:10:18; kjv@1Chronicles:1:16)
HAMMATH
- H>@ - (warm springs), one of the fortified cities in the territory allotted to Naphtali. kjv@Joshua:19:35) It was near Tiberias, one mile distant, and had its name Chammath, "hot baths," because it contained those of Tiberias. In the list of Levitical cities given out of Naphtali, kjv@Joshua:21:32) the name of this place seems to be given as HAMMOTH
- DOR.
HAMMEDATHA
- H>@ - (double), father of the infamous Haman. kjv@Esther:3:1 kjv@Esther:3:10 kjv@Esther:8:5; 9;24)
HAMMELECH
- H>@ - lit. "the king, " unnecessarily rendered in the Authorized Version as a proper name. kjv@Jeremiah:36:26 kjv@Jeremiah:38:6)
HAMMOLEKETH
- H>@ - (the queen), a daughter of Machir and sister of Gilead. ( kjv@1Chronicles:7:17-18) (B.C. between 1706 and 1491.)
HAMMON
- H>@ - (warm springs). A city in Asher, kjv@Joshua:19:28) apparently not far from Zidon-rabbah. A city allotted out of the tribe of Naphtali to the Levites, ( kjv@1Chronicles:6:76) and answering to the somewhat similar names HAMMATH and HAMMOTH
- DOR in Joshua.
HAMMOTHDOR
- H>@ - (dwelling of the warm springs). HAMMATH
HAMONAH
- H>@ - (multitude), the name of a city mentioned in Ezekiel. kjv@Ezekiel:39:16)
HAMONGOG
- H>@ - (the multitude of God), The valley of, the name to be bestowed on the ravine or glen, previously known as "the ravine of the passengers on the east of the sea," after the burial there of "God and all his multitude." kjv@Ezekiel:39:11 kjv@Ezekiel:39:15)
HAMOR
- H>@ - (an ass), a Hivite who at the time of the entrance of Jacob on Palestine was prince of the land and city of Shechem. kjv@Genesis:33:19 kjv@Genesis:34:2-4-6-8 kjv@Genesis:34:13,18-20,24-26) (B.C. 1737.) DINAH
HAMUEL

HANANEEL
- H>@ - (whom God graciously gave), The tower of, a tower which formed part of the wall of Jerusalem kjv@Nehemiah:3:1 kjv@Nehemiah:12:39) From these two passages, particularly from the former, it might almost be inferred that Hananeel was but another name for the tower of Meah; at any rate they were close together, and stood between the sheep-gate and the fish-gate. This tower is further mentioned in kjv@Jeremiah:31:38) The remaining passage in which it is named, kjv@Zechariah:14:10) also connects this tower with the "corner-gate," which lay on the other side of the sheep-gate.

Hananiah corroborated his prophecy by taking from off the neck of Jeremiah the yoke which he wore by divine command. kjv@Jeremiah:27:1) ... and breaking it. But Jeremiah was bidden to go tell Hananiah that for the wooden yokes which he had broken he should make yokes of iron, so firm was the dominion of Babylon destined to he for seventy years. The prophet Jeremiah added to this rebuke the prediction of Hananiah’s death, the fulfillment of which closes the history of this false prophet.

HANDICRAFT
- H>@ - kjv@Acts:18:3 kjv@Acts:19:25; kjv@Revelation:18:22) A trade was taught to ail the Jewish boys as a necessary part of their education. Even the greatest rabbis maintained themselves by trades (Delitzsch). Says Rabbi Jehuda, "He who does not teach his son a trade is much the same as if he taught him to be a thief". In the present article brief notice only can be given of such handicraft trades as are mentioned in Scripture. Smiths or metal-workers.
The preparation of iron for use either in war, in agriculture or for domestic purposes was doubtless one of the earliest applications of labor; and together with iron, working in brass, or rather copper alloyed with tin (bronze), is mentioned as practiced in antediluvian times. kjv@Genesis:4:22) After the establishment of the Jews in Canaan, the occupation of a smith became recognized as a distinct employment- ( kjv@1Samuel:13:19) The smith’s work and its results are often mentioned in Scripture. (2 Samuel 12:31; kjv@Kings:6:7; kjv@2Chronicles:26:14; kjv@Isaiah:44:12 kjv@Isaiah:54:16) The worker in gold and silver must have found employment among both the Hebrews and the neighboring nations in very early times. kjv@Genesis:24:22 kjv@Genesis:24:53 kjv@Genesis:35:4 kjv@Genesis:38:18 ) Various processes of the goldsmith’s work are illustrated by Egyptian monuments. After the conquest frequent notices are found of both moulded and wrought metal, including soldering. Carpenters are often mentioned in Scripture. kjv@Genesis:6:14; kjv@Exodus:37; Isaiah:44:13) In the palace built by David for himself the workmen employed were chiefly foreigners. (2 Samuel kjv@5:11) That the Jewish carpenters must have been able to carve with some skill is evident from kjv@Isaiah:41:7 kjv@Isaiah:44:13) In the New Testament the occupation of a carpenter is mentioned in connection with Joseph the husband of the Virgin Mary, and ascribed to our Lord himself. kjv@Matthew:13:55; kjv@Mark:6:3) The trade included our cabinet work as well as carpentering. The masons employed by David and Solomon, at least the chief of them, were Phoenicians. (Kings:5:18; kjv@Ezekiel:27:9) The large stones used in Solomon’s temple are said by Josephus to have been fitted together exactly without either mortar or clamps, but the foundation stones to have been fastened with lead. For ordinary building mortar was used; sometimes, perhaps, bitumen, as was the case at Babylon. kjv@Genesis:11:3) The wall "daubed with untempered mortar" of kjv@Ezekiel:13:10) was perhaps a sort of cob-wall of mud or clay without lime, which would give way under heavy rain. The use of whitewash on tombs is remarked by our Lord. kjv@Matthew:23:27) Ship-building must have been exercised to some extent for the fishing-vessels on the Lake of Gennesaret. kjv@Matthew:8:23 kjv@Matthew:9:1; kjv@John:21:3 kjv@John:21:8) Solomon built ships for his foreign trade. (Kings:9:26-27; 22:48; kjv@2Chronicles:20:36-37) Apothecaries or perfumers appear to have formed a guild or association. kjv@Exodus:30:25 kjv@Exodus:30:35 kjv@2Chronicles:16:14; kjv@Nehemiah:3:8; kjv@Ecclesiastes:7:1 kjv@Ecclesiastes:10:1) Ecclus 38:8. Weavers .
The arts of spinning and weaving both wool and linen were carried on in early times, as they usually are still among the Bedouins, by women. kjv@Exodus:35:20 kjv@Exodus:35:26 kjv@Leviticus:19:19 kjv@Leviticus:22:11; kjv@2Kings:23:7; kjv@Ezekiel:16:16; kjv@Proverbs:31:13-14) The loom with its beam, ( kjv@1Samuel:17:7) pin, kjv@Judges:16:14) and shuttles kjv@Job:7:6) was perhaps introduced later, but as early as David’s time. ( kjv@1Samuel:17:7) Dyeing and dressing cloth were practiced in Palestine, as were also tanning and dressing leather . kjv@Joshua:2:15-18; kjv@2Kings:1:8; kjv@Matthew:3:4; kjv@Acts:9:43) Barbers . kjv@Numbers:6:5 kjv@Numbers:6:19 kjv@Ezekiel:5:1) Tentmakers are noticed in kjv@Acts:18:3) Potters are frequently alluded to. kjv@Jeremiah:18:2-6) Bakers are noticed in Scripture, kjv@Jeremiah:37:21; kjv@Hosea:7:4) and the well-known valley Tyropoeon probably derived its name from the occupation of the cheese-makers, its inhabitants. Butchers , not Jewish, are spoken of ( kjv@1Corinthians:10:25) Shoemakers, tailors, glaziers and glass vessels painters and gold workers are mentioned in the Mishna. Chel. kjv@8:9; 29:3-4; 30:1.
HANDKERCHIEF, NAPKIN, APRON
- H>@ - kjv@Luke:19:20; kjv@John:11:44 kjv@John:20:7; kjv@Acts:19:12) These terms were used in much the same manner and having much the same significance as at the present.

Exod 26:36-37; 39:38 The "hangings"; were used for covering, the walls of the court of the tabernacles just as tapestry is used in modern times. kjv@Exodus:27:9 kjv@Exodus:35:17 kjv@Exodus:38:9 ; kjv@Numbers:3:26 kjv@Numbers:4:26)

HARAN
- H>@ - (a mountaineer). The third son of Terah, and therefore youngest brother of Abram. kjv@Genesis:11:26) (B.C. 1926.) Three children are ascribed to him
Lot, vs. kjv@Genesis:11:27 kjv@Genesis:11:31) and two daughters, viz., Milcah, who married her uncle Nahor, ver. kjv@Genesis:11:29) and Iscah. ver. kjv@Genesis:11:29) Haran was born in Ur of the Chaldees, and he died there while his father was still living. ver. kjv@Genesis:11:28) A Gershonite Levite in the time of David, one of the family of Shimei.

HARE
- H>@ - (Heb. arnebeth) occurs only in kjv@Leviticus:11:6) and kjv@Deuteronomy:14:7 Amongst the animals disallowed as food by the Mosaic law. The hare is at this day called arnel by the Arabs in Palestine and Syria. It was erroneously thought by the ancient Jews to have chewed the cud. They were no doubt misled as in the case of the shaphfan (hyrax), by the habit these animals have of moving the jaw about.
HAREM
- H>@ - HOUSE
HAREPH

It further occurs in a list of the families of priests "who went up with Zerubbabel and Jeshua," and of those who were their descendants in the next generation. kjv@Nehemiah:12:16) Another family of Bene
- Harim, 320 in number, came from the captivity in the same caravan. kjv@Ezra:2:82; kjv@Nehemiah:7:35) (B.C. 536.) They also appear among those who had married foreign wives, kjv@Ezra:10:31) as well as those who sealed the covenant- kjv@Nehemiah:10:27) (B.C. 410.)

HARLOT
- H>@ - That this class of persons existed in the earliest states of society is clear from kjv@Genesis:38:15) Rahab, kjv@Joshua:2:1) is said by the Chald. Paraphr. to have been an innkeeper; but if there were such persons, considering what we know of Canaanitish morals, kjv@Leviticus:18:27) we may conclude that they would, if women, have been of this class. The "harlots" are classed with "publicans," as those who lay under the ban of society, in the New Testament. kjv@Matthew:21:32)
HARMAGEDON
- H>@ - (hill of Megiddo), kjv@Revelation:16:16) in the Revised Version for Armageddon. The change is chiefly Har , hill, in place of Ar , city.

- H>@ - (fear), The well of, a spring by which Gideon and his great army encamped on the morning of the day which ended in the rout of the Midianites. kjv@Judges:7:1) and where the trial of the people by their mode of drinking apparently took place. The Ain Jalud is very suitable to the circumstances, as being at present the largest spring in the neighborhood.

Sometimes it was smaller having only eight strings, and was usually played with the fingers.
HARROW
- H>@ - The word so rendered, (2 Samuel 12:31; kjv@1Chronicles:20:3) is probably a threshing-machine. The verb rendered "to harrow," kjv@Job:39:10; kjv@Isaiah:28:24; kjv@Hosea:10:11) expresses apparently the breaking of the clods, and is so far analogous to our harrowing
but whether done by any such machine as we call a "harrow" is very doubtful.

- Harsha were among the families of Nethinim who came back from Babylon with Zerubbabel. kjv@Ezra:2:52; kjv@Nehemiah:7:54)
HART

- H>@ - (fearful), one of the sons of Othniel the Kenazite. ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:13)
HATIPHA
- H>@ - (captive). Bene
- Hatipha (i.e. sons of Hatipha) were among the Nethinim who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel. kjv@Ezra:2:54; kjv@Nehemiah:7:56) (B.C. 536.)
HATITA
- H>@ - (exploring). Bene
- Hatita (i.e. sons of Hatita) were among the "porters" (i.e. the gate-keepers) who returned from the captivity with Zerubbabel. kjv@Ezra:2:42; kjv@Nehemiah:7:45) (B.C. 536.)
HALTIL
- H>@ - (doubtful). Bene
- Hattil were among the children of Solomon’s slaves "who came back from captivity with Zerubbabel. kjv@Ezra:2:57; kjv@Nehemiah:7:59) (B.C. 536.)
HATTUPH
- H>@ - (assembled). A descendant of the kings of Judah apparently one of the sons of Shechaniah, ( kjv@1Chronicles:3:22) in the fourth or fifth generation from Zerubbabel. A person of the same name accompanied Ezra from Babylon to Jerusalem. kjv@Ezra:8:2) In another statement Hattush is said to have returned with Zerubbabel. kjv@Nehemiah:12:2) Son of Hashabniah. one-of those who assisted Nehemiah in the repair of the wall of Jerusalem. kjv@Nehemiah:3:10) (B.C. 446.)
HAURAN
- H>@ - (caverns), a province of Palestine twice mentioned by Ezekiel. kjv@Ezekiel:47:16-17) There can be little doubt that it is identical with the well-known Greek province of Auranitis and the modern Hauran east of the Sea of Galilee, on the borders of the desert, in the tetrarchy of Philip.
HAVILAH
- H>@ - (circle). A son of Cush. kjv@Genesis:10:7) A son of Joktan. kjv@Genesis:10:29)
HAVILAH
- H>@ - kjv@Genesis:2:11) A part of Eden through which flowed the river Pison (Araxes). It was probably the Grecian Colchis, in the northeast corner of Asia Minor, near the Caspian Sea. A district in Arabia Felix, kjv@Genesis:10:7) named from the second son of Cush; probably the district of Kualan, in the northwestern part of Yemen.
HAVOTHJAIR
- H>@ - (villages of Jair), certain villages on the east of Jordan, in Gilead or Bashan, which were taken by Jair the son of Manasseh, and called after his name. kjv@Numbers:32:41 kjv@Numbers:3:14) In the records of Manasseh in kjv@Joshua:13:30) and 1Chr 2:23 The Havoth-jair are reckoned with other districts as making up sixty "cities." Comp. (Kings:4:13) There is apparently some confusion in these different statements as to what the sixty cities really consisted of. No less doubtful is the number of the Havoth
- Jair. In ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:22) they are specified as twenty-three, but in kjv@Judges:10:4) as thirty.
HAWK
- H>@ - kjv@Leviticus:11:16 kjv@Leviticus:14:15; kjv@Job:39:26) The hawk includes various species of the Falconidae . With respect to the passage in Job (l.c.) which appears to allude to the migratory habits of hawks, it is curious to observe that of the ten or twelve lesser raptors (hawk tribe) of Palestine, nearly all are summer migrants. The kestrel remains all the year, but the others are all migrants from the south.
HAY
- H>@ - (Heb. chatsir), the rendering of the Authorized Version in kjv@Proverbs:27:25) and Isai 15:6 Of the Hebrew term, which occurs frequently in the Old Testament, and denotes "grass" of any kind. It is quite probable that the modern Orientals do not make hay in our sense of the term; but it is certain that the ancients did mow their grass, and probably made use of the dry material.
See kjv@Psalms:37:2) We may remark that there is an express Hebrew term for "dry grass" or "hay," viz. chashash , which, in the only two places where the word occurs, kjv@Isaiah:5:24 kjv@Isaiah:33:11) is rendered "chaff" in the Authorized Version.
HAZAEL
- H>@ - (whom God sees), a king of Damascus who reigned from about B.C. 886 to B.C. 840. He appears to have been previously a person in a high position at the court of Ben-hadad, and was sent by his master to Elisha to inquire if he would recover from the malady under which he was suffering. Elisha’s answer led to the murder of Ben-hadad by his ambitious servant, who forthwith mounted the throne. ( kjv@2Kings:8:7-15) He was soon engaged in war with the kings of Judah and Israel for the possession of the city of Ramoth-gilead. Ibid. ( kjv@2Kings:8:28) Towards the close of the reign of Jehu, Hazael led the Syrians against the Israelites (about B.C. 860), whom he "smote in all their coasts," ( kjv@2Kings:10:32) thus accomplishing the prophecy of Elisha. Ibid . ( kjv@2Kings:8:12) At the close of his life, having taken Gath, ibid. ( kjv@2Kings:12:17) comp. kjv@Amos:6:2 He proceeded to attack Jerusalem, ( kjv@2Chronicles:24:24) and was about to assault the city when Joash bribed him to retire. ( kjv@2Kings:12:18) Hazael appears to have died about the year B.C. 840, ( kjv@2Kings:13:24) having reigned forty-six years.
HAZAIAH
- H>@ - (whom Jehovah sees), a man of Judah of the family of the Shilonites, or descendants of Shelah. kjv@Nehemiah:11:5)
HAZARADAR
- H>@ - etc. HAZER
HAZARMAVETH
- H>@ - (court of death), the third in order of the sons of Joktan kjv@Genesis:10:26) The name is preserved in the Arabic Hadramawt and Hadrumawl , the appellation of a province and an ancient people of southern Arabia. The capital is Satham, a very ancient city, and its chief ports are Mirbat, Zafari and Kisheem, from whence a great trade was carried on in ancient times with India and Africa.
HAZEL
- H>@ - The Hebrew term luz occurs only in kjv@Genesis:30:37) Authorities are divided between the hazel and the almond tree as representing the luz . The latter is most probably correct.
HAZELELPONI
- H>@ - (shade coming upon me), the sister of the sons of Etam in the genealogies of Judah. ( kjv@1Chronicles:4:3)
HAZER
- H>@ - topographically, seems generally employed for the villages of people. As a proper name it appears in the Authorized Version
In the plural, HAZERIM and HAZEBOTH, for which see below. In the slightly different form of HAZOR. In composition with other words: HAZAR
- ADDAR (village of Addar), a place named as one of the landmarks on the southern boundary of the land promised to Israel. kjv@Numbers:34:4) ADAR kjv@Joshua:15:3) HAZAR
- ENAN (village of fountains), the place at which the northern boundary of the land promised to the children of Israel was to terminate. kjv@Numbers:34:9-10) comp. kjv@Ezekiel:47:17 kjv@Ezekiel:48:1 HAZAB GADDAH (village of fortune), one of the towns in the southern district of Judah, kjv@Joshua:15:27) named between Moladah and Heshmon. HAZAR
- SHUAL (village of jackals), a town in the southern district of Judah, lying between Hazar-gaddah and Beersheba. kjv@Joshua:15:28 kjv@Joshua:19:3; kjv@1Chronicles:4:28) HAZAR
- SUSAH (village of horses), one of the "cities" allotted to Simeon in the extreme south of the territory of Judah. kjv@Joshua:19:5)
HAZERIM
- H>@ - (villages). The Avim, or more accurately the Avvim, are said to have lived "in the villages (Authorized Version ’Hazerim’) as far as Gaza," (2:23) before their expulsion by the Caphtorim.
HAZEROTH
- H>@ - (villages), kjv@Numbers:11:35 kjv@Numbers:12:16 kjv@Numbers:33:17 ; kjv@1:1) a station of the Israelites in the desert, and perhaps recognizable in the Arabic Ain Hudhera , forty miles northeast of Sinai.
HAZEZONTAMAR

HAZIEL
- H>@ - (union of God), a Levite in the time of David, of the family of Shi-mei or Shimi, the younger branch of the (Gershonites. ( kjv@1Chronicles:23:9) (B.C. 1014.)
HAZO
- H>@ - (vision), a son of Nahor, by Milcah his wife. kjv@Genesis:22:22) (B.C. about 1900.)
HAZOR
- H>@ - (castle). A fortified city, which on the occupation of the country was allotted to Naphtali. kjv@Joshua:19:36) Its position was apparently between Ramah and Kedesh, ibid. kjv@Joshua:12:19) on the high ground overlooking the Lake of Merom. There is no reason for supposing it a different place from that of which Jabin was king. kjv@Joshua:11:1; kjv@Judges:4:2 kjv@Judges:4:17 kjv@1Samuel:12:9) It was the principal city of the whole of north Palestine. kjv@Joshua:11:10) It was fortified by Solomon, (Kings:9:15) and its inhabitants were carried captive by Tiglath-pileser. ( kjv@2Kings:15:29) The most probable site of Hazor is Tell Khuraibeh . One of the "cities" of Judah in the extreme south, named next in order to Kedesh. kjv@Joshua:15:23) Hazor
- Hadattah = "new Hazor" another of the southern towns of Judah. kjv@Joshua:15:25) A place in which the Benjamites resided after their return from the captivity. kjv@Nehemiah:11:33)
easton:
Habakkuk @ embrace, the eighth of the twelve minor prophets. Of his personal history we have no reliable information. He was probably a member of the Levitical choir. He was contemporary with Jeremiah and Zephaniah.
Habakkuk, Prophecies of @ were probably written about B.C. 650-627, or, as some think, a few years later. This book consists of three chapters, the contents of which are thus comprehensively described: "When the prophet in spirit saw the formidable power of the Chaldeans approaching and menacing his land, and saw the great evils they would cause in Judea, he bore his complaints and doubts before Jehovah, the just and the pure (1:2-17). And on this occasion the future punishment of the Chaldeans was revealed to him
(2). In the third chapter a presentiment of the destruction of his country, in the inspired heart of the prophet, contends with his hope that the enemy would be chastised." The third chapter is a sublime song dedicated "to the chief musician," and therefore intended apparently to be used in the worship of God. It is "unequalled in majesty and splendour of language and imagery." The passage in kjv@2:4, "The just shall live by his faith," is quoted by the apostle in kjv@Romans:1:17. (Comp. kjv@Galatians:3:12; kjv@Hebrews:10:37-38.)
Habergeon @ an Old English word for breastplate. In kjv@Job:41:26 (Heb. shiryah) it is properly a "coat of mail;" the Revised Version has "pointed shaft." In kjv@Exodus:28:32-39:23, it denotes a military garment strongly and thickly woven and covered with mail round the neck and breast. Such linen corselets have been found in Egypt. The word used in these verses is tahra, which is of Egyptian origin. The Revised Version, however, renders it by "coat of mail." (
See ARMOUR.)
Habitation @ God is the habitation of his people, who find rest and safety in him kjv@Psalms:71:3 kjv@Psalms:91:9). Justice and judgment are the habitation of God's throne kjv@Psalms:89:14, Heb. mekhon, "foundation"), because all his acts are founded on justice and judgment. (
See kjv@Psalms:132:5 kjv@Psalms:132:13 kjv@Ephesians:2:22, of Canaan, Jerusalem, and the temple as God's habitation.) God inhabits eternity kjv@Isaiah:57:15), i.e., dwells not only among men, but in eternity, where time is unknown; and "the praises of Israel" kjv@Psalms:22:3), i.e., he dwells among those praises and is continually surrounded by them.
Habor @ the united stream, or, according to others, with beautiful banks, the name of a river in Assyria, and also of the district through which it flowed ( kjv@1Chronicles:5:26). There is a river called Khabur which rises in the central highlands of Kurdistan, and flows south-west till it falls into the Tigris, about 70 miles above Mosul. This was not, however, the Habor of Scripture. There is another river of the same name (the Chaboras) which, after a course of about 200 miles, flows into the Euphrates at Karkesia, the ancient Circesium. This was, there can be little doubt, the ancient Habor.
Hachilah @ the darksome hill, one of the peaks of the long ridge of el
- Kolah, running out of the Ziph plateau, "on the south of Jeshimon" (i.e., of the "waste"), the district to which one looks down from the plateau of Ziph ( kjv@1Samuel:23:19). After his reconciliation with Saul at Engedi (24:1-8), David returned to Hachilah, where he had fixed his quarters. The Ziphites treacherously informed Saul of this, and he immediately (26:1-4) renewed his pursuit of David, and "pitched in the hill of Hachilah." David and his nephew Abishai stole at night into the midst of Saul's camp, when they were all asleep, and noiselessly removed the royal spear and the cruse from the side of the king, and then, crossing the intervening valley to the height on the other side, David cried to the people, and thus awoke the sleepers. He then addressed Saul, who recognized his voice, and expostulated with him. Saul professed to be penitent; but David could not put confidence in him, and he now sought refuge at Ziklag. David and Saul never afterwards met. ( kjv@1Samuel:26:13-25).
Hadad @ Adod, brave(?), the name of a Syrian god.
(1.) An Edomite king who defeated the Midianites kjv@Genesis:36:35; kjv@1Chronicles:1:46).
(2.) Another Edomite king ( kjv@1Chronicles:1:50-51), called also Hadar kjv@Genesis:36:39; kjv@1Chronicles:1:51).
(3.) One of "the king's seed in Edom." He fled into Egypt, where he married the sister of Pharaoh's wife (kjvKings:11:14-22). He became one of Solomon's adversaries. Hadad, sharp, (a different name in Hebrew from the preceding), one of the sons of Ishmael ( kjv@1Chronicles:1:30). Called also Hadar kjv@Genesis:25:15).
Hadad-rimmon @ (composed of the names of two Syrian idols), the name of a place in the valley of Megiddo. It is alluded to by the prophet Zechariah (12:11) in a proverbial expression derived from the lamentation for Josiah, who was mortally wounded near this place ( kjv@2Chronicals:35:22-25). It has been identified with the modern Rummaneh, a village "at the foot of the Megiddo hills, in a notch or valley about an hour and a half south of Tell Metzellim."
Hadadezer @ Hadad is help; called also Hadarezer, Adod is his help, the king of Zobah. Hanun, the king of the Ammonites, hired among others the army of Hadadezer to assist him in his war against David. Joab, who was sent against this confederate host, found them in double battle array, the Ammonities toward their capital of Rabbah, and the Syrian mercenaries near Medeba. In the battle which was fought the Syrians were scattered, and the Ammonites in alarm fled into their capital. After this Hadadezer went north "to recover his border" ( kjv@2Samuel:8:3, A.V.); but rather, as the Revised Version renders, "to recover his dominion", i.e., to recruit his forces. Then followed another battle with the Syrian army thus recruited, which resulted in its being totally routed at Helam ( kjv@2Samuel:10:17). Shobach, the leader of the Syrian army, died on the field of battle. The Syrians of Damascus, who had come to help Hadadezer, were also routed, and Damascus was made tributary to David. All the spoils taken in this war, "shields of gold" and "very much brass," from which afterwards the "brasen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass" for the temple were made ( kjv@1Chronicles:18:8), were brought to Jerusalem and dedicated to Jehovah. Thus the power of the Ammonites and the Syrians was finally broken, and David's empire extended to the Euphrates ( kjv@2Samuel:10:15-19; kjv@1Chronicles:19:15-19).
Hadar @ Adod, brave(?).
(1.) A son of Ishmael kjv@Genesis:25:15); in kjv@1Chronicles:1:30 written Hadad.
(2.) One of the Edomitish kings kjv@Genesis:36:39) about the time of Saul. Called also Hadad ( kjv@1Chronicles:1:50-51). It is probable that in these cases Hadar may be an error simply of transcription for Hadad.
Hadarezer @ Adod is his help, the name given to Hadadezer ( kjv@2Samuel:8:3-12) in kjv@2Samuel:10.
Hadashah @ new, a city in the valley of Judah kjv@Joshua:15:37).
Hadassah @ myrtle, the Jewish name of Esther (q.v.), kjv@Esther:2:7.
Hadattah @ new, one of the towns in the extreme south of Judah kjv@Joshua:15:25).
Hades @ that which is out of sight, a Greek word used to denote the state or place of the dead. All the dead alike go into this place. To be buried, to go down to the grave, to descend into hades, are equivalent expressions. In the LXX. this word is the usual rendering of the Hebrew sheol, the common receptacle of the departed kjv@Genesis:42:38; kjv@Psalms:139:8; kjv@Hosea:13:14; kjv@Isaiah:14:9). This term is of comparatively rare occurrence in the Greek New Testament. Our Lord speaks of Capernaum as being "brought down to hell" (hades), i.e., simply to the lowest debasement, kjv@Matthew:11:23). It is contemplated as a kind of kingdom which could never overturn the foundation of Christ's kingdom (16:18), i.e., Christ's church can never die. In kjv@Luke:16:23 it is most distinctly associated with the doom and misery of the lost. In kjv@Acts:2:27-31 Peter quotes the LXX. version of kjv@Psalms:16:8-11, plainly for the purpose of proving our Lord's resurrection from the dead. David was left in the place of the dead, and his body saw corruption. Not so with Christ. According to ancient prophecy kjv@Psalms:30:3) he was recalled to life.
Hadid @ pointed, a place in the tribe of Benjamin near Lydda, or Lod, and Ono kjv@Ezra:2:33; kjv@Nehemiah:7:37). It is identified with the modern el
- Haditheh, 3 miles east of Lydda.
Hadlai @ resting, an Ephraimite; the father of Amasa, mentioned in kjv@2Chronicals:28:12.
Hadoram @ is exalted.
(1.) The son of Tou, king of Hamath, sent by his father to congratulate David on his victory over Hadarezer, king of Syria ( kjv@1Chronicles:18:10; called Joram kjv@2Samuel:8:10).
(2.) The fifth son of Joktan, the founder of an Arab tribe kjv@Genesis:10:27; kjv@1Chronicles:1:21).
(3.) One who was "over the tribute;" i.e., "over the levy." He was stoned by the Israelites after they had revolted from Rehoboam ( kjv@2Chronicals:10:18). Called also Adoram ( kjv@2Samuel:20:24) and Adoniram (kjvKings:4:6).
Hadrach @ the name of a country kjv@Zechariah:9:1) which cannot be identified. Rawlinson would identify it with Edessa. He mentions that in the Assyrian inscriptions it is recorded that "Shalmanezer III. made two expeditions, the first against Damascus B.C. 773, and the second against Hadrach B.C. 772; and again that Asshurdanin-il II. made expeditions against Hadrach in B.C. 765 and 755."
Haemorrhoids @ or Emerods, bleeding piles known to the ancient Romans as mariscae, but more probably malignant boils of an infectious and fatal character. With this loathsome and infectious disease the men of Ashdod were smitten by the hand of the Lord. This calamity they attributed to the presence of the ark in their midst, and therefore they removed it to Gath ( kjv@1Samuel:5:6-8). But the same consequences followed from its presence in Gath, and therefore they had it removed to Ekron, 11 miles distant. The Ekronites were afflicted with the same dreadful malady, but more severely; and a panic seizing the people, they demanded that the ark should be sent back to the land of Israel (9-12; 6:1-9).
Haft @ a handle as of a dagger kjv@Judges:3:22).
Hagar @ flight, or, according to others, stranger, an Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid kjv@Genesis:16:1 kjv@Genesis:21:9-10), whom she gave to Abraham (q.v.) as a secondary wife (16:2). When she was about to become a mother she fled from the cruelty of her mistress, intending apparently to return to her relatives in Egypt, through the desert of Shur, which lay between. Wearied and worn she had reached the place she distinguished by the name of Beer-lahai-roi ("the well of the visible God"), where the angel of the Lord appeared to her. In obedience to the heavenly visitor she returned to the tent of Abraham, where her son Ishmael was born, and where she remained
(16) till after the birth of Isaac, the space of fourteen years. Sarah after this began to vent her dissatisfaction both on Hagar and her child. Ishmael's conduct was insulting to Sarah, and she insisted that he and his mother should be dismissed. This was accordingly done, although with reluctance on the part of Abraham kjv@Genesis:21:14). They wandered out into the wilderness, where Ishmael, exhausted with his journey and faint from thirst, seemed about to die. Hagar "lifted up her voice and wept," and the angel of the Lord, as before, appeared unto her, and she was comforted and delivered out of her distresses kjv@Genesis:21:18-19). Ishmael afterwards established himself in the wilderness of Paran, where he married an Egyptian kjv@Genesis:21:20-21). "Hagar" allegorically represents the Jewish church kjv@Galatians:4:24), in bondage to the ceremonial law; while "Sarah" represents the Christian church, which is free.
Hagarene @ or Hagarite.
(1.) One of David's mighty men ( kjv@1Chronicles:11:38), the son of a foreigner.
(2.) Used of Jaziz ( kjv@1Chronicles:27:31), who was over David's flocks. "A Hagarite had charge of David's flocks, and an Ishmaelite of his herds, because the animals were pastured in districts where these nomadic people were accustomed to feed their cattle."
(3.) In the reign of Saul a great war was waged between the trans
- Jordanic tribes and the Hagarites ( 1Chronicles:5), who were overcome in battle. A great booty was captured by the two tribes and a half, and they took possession of the land of the Hagarites. Subsequently the "Hagarenes," still residing in the land on the east of Jordan, entered into a conspiracy against Israel (comp. kjv@Psalms:83:6). They are distinguished from the Ishmaelites.
Haggai @ festive, one of the twelve so-called minor prophets. He was the first of the three (Zechariah, his contemporary, and Malachi, who was about one hundred years later, being the other two) whose ministry belonged to the period of Jewish history which began after the return from captivity in Babylon. Scarcely anything is known of his personal history. He may have been one of the captives taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. He began his ministry about sixteen years after the Return. The work of rebuilding the temple had been put a stop to through the intrigues of the Samaritans. After having been suspended for fifteen years, the work was resumed through the efforts of Haggai and Zechariah kjv@Ezra:6:14), who by their exhortations roused the people from their lethargy, and induced them to take advantage of the favourable opportunity that had arisen in a change in the policy of the Persian government. (
See DARIUS 2.) Haggai's prophecies have thus been characterized:, "There is a ponderous and simple dignity in the emphatic reiteration addressed alike to every class of the community, prince, priest, and people, 'Be strong, be strong, be strong' (2:4). 'Cleave, stick fast, to the work you have to do;' or again, 'Consider your ways, consider, consider, consider' (1:5-7;2:15,18). It is the Hebrew phrase for the endeavour, characteristic of the gifted seers of all times, to compel their hearers to turn the inside of their hearts outwards to their own view, to take the mask from off their consciences, to 'see life steadily, and to see it wholly.'", Stanley's Jewish Church. (
See SIGNET.)
Haggai, Book of @ consists of two brief, comprehensive chapters. The object of the prophet was generally to urge the people to proceed with the rebuilding of the temple. Chapter first comprehends the first address (2-11) and its effects (12-15). Chapter second contains,
(1.) The second prophecy (1-9), which was delivered a month after the first.
(2.) The third prophecy (10-19), delivered two months and three days after the second; and
(3.) The fourth prophecy (20-23), delivered on the same day as the third. These discourses are referred to in kjv@Ezra:5:1 kjv@Ezra:6:14; kjv@Hebrews:12:26. (Comp. kjv@Haggai:2:7-8, 22.)
Haggith @ festive; the dancer, a wife of David and the mother of Adonijah ( kjv@2Samuel:3:4; kjvKings:1:5,11; kjv@2:13; 1Chronicles:3:2), who, like Absalom, was famed for his beauty.
Hagiographa @ the holy writings, a term which came early into use in the Christian church to denote the third division of the Old Testament scriptures, called by the Jews Kethubim, i.e., "Writings." It consisted of five books, viz., Job, Proverbs, and Psalms, and the two books of Chronicles. The ancient Jews classified their sacred books as the Law, the Prophets, and the Kethubim, or Writings. (
See BIBLE.) In the New Testament kjv@Luke:24:44) we find three corresponding divisions, viz., the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms.
Hail @ frozen rain-drops; one of the plagues of Egypt kjv@Exodus:9:23). It is mentioned by Haggai as a divine judgment kjv@Haggai:2:17). A hail-storm destroyed the army of the Amorites when they fought against Joshua kjv@Joshua:10:11). Ezekiel represents the wall daubed with untempered mortar as destroyed by great hail-stones kjv@Ezekiel:13:11). (
See also 38:22; kjv@Revelation:8:7 kjv@Revelation:11:19 kjv@Revelation:16:21 .)
Hail! @ a salutation expressive of a wish for the welfare of the person addressed; the translation of the Greek Chaire, "Rejoice" kjv@Luke:1:8). Used in mockery in kjv@Matthew:27:29.
Hair @
(1.) The Egyptians let the hair of their head and beard grow only when they were in mourning, shaving it off at other times. "So particular were they on this point that to have neglected it was a subject of reproach and ridicule; and whenever they intended to convey the idea of a man of low condition, or a slovenly person, the artists represented him with a beard." Joseph shaved himself before going in to Pharoah kjv@Genesis:41:14). The women of Egypt wore their hair long and plaited. Wigs were worn by priests and laymen to cover the shaven skull, and false beards were common. The great masses of hair seen in the portraits and statues of kings and priests are thus altogether artificial.
(2.) A precisely opposite practice, as regards men, prevailed among the Assyrians. In Assyrian sculptures the hair always appears long, and combed closely down upon the head. The beard also was allowed to grow to its full length.
(3.) Among the Greeks the custom in this respect varied at different times, as it did also among the Romans. In the time of the apostle, among the Greeks the men wore short hair, while that of the women was long ( kjv@1Corinthians:11:14-15). Paul reproves the Corinthians for falling in with a style of manners which so far confounded the distinction of the sexes and was hurtful to good morals. (See, however, kjv@1Timothy:2:9, and kjv@1Peter:3:3, as regards women.)
(4.) Among the Hebrews the natural distinction between the sexes was preserved by the women wearing long hair kjv@Luke:7:38; kjv@John:11:2; kjv@1Corinthians:11:6), while the men preserved theirs as a rule at a moderate length by frequent clipping. Baldness disqualified any one for the priest's office Leviticus:21). Elijah is called a "hairy man" ( kjv@2Kings:1:8) from his flowing locks, or more probably from the shaggy cloak of hair which he wore. His raiment was of camel's hair. Long hair is especially noticed in the description of Absalom's person ( kjv@2Samuel:14:26); but the wearing of long hair was unusual, and was only practised as an act of religious observance by Nazarites kjv@Numbers:6:5; kjv@Judges:13:5) and others in token of special mercies kjv@Acts:18:18). In times of affliction the hair was cut off kjv@Isaiah:3:17 kjv@Isaiah:3:24 kjv@Isaiah:15:2 kjv@Isaiah:22:12 ; kjv@Jeremiah:7:29; kjv@Amos:8:10). Tearing the hair and letting it go dishevelled were also tokens of grief kjv@Ezra:9:3). "Cutting off the hair" is a figure of the entire destruction of a people kjv@Isaiah:7:20). The Hebrews anointed the hair profusely with fragrant ointments kjv@Ruth:3:3; kjv@2Samuel:14:2; kjv@Psalms:23:5 kjv@Psalms:45:7, etc.), especially in seasons of rejoicing kjv@Matthew:6:17; kjv@Luke:7:46).
Hakkoz @ the thorn, the head of one of the courses of the priests ( kjv@1Chronicles:24:10).
Halah @ a district of Media to which captive Israelites were transported by the Assyrian kings ( kjv@2Kings:17:6 kjv@2Kings:18:11; kjv@1Chronicles:5:26). It lay along the banks of the upper Khabur, from its source to its junction with the Jerujer. Probably the district called by Ptolemy Chalcitis.
Halak @ smooth; bald, a hill at the southern extremity of Canaan kjv@Joshua:11:17). It is referred to as if it were a landmark in that direction, being prominent and conspicuous from a distance. It has by some been identified with the modern Jebel el
- Madura, on the south frontier of Judah, between the south end of the Dead Sea and the Wady Gaian.
Halhul @ full of hollows, a town in the highlands of Judah kjv@Joshua:15:58). It is now a small village of the same name, and is situated about 5 miles north-east of Hebron on the way to Jerusalem. There is an old Jewish tradition that Gad, David's seer ( kjv@2Samuel:24:11), was buried here.
Hall @ (Gr. aule, kjv@Luke:22:55; R.V., "court"), the open court or quadrangle belonging to the high priest's house. In kjv@Matthew:26:69 and kjv@Mark:14:66 this word is incorrectly rendered "palace" in the Authorized Version, but correctly "court" in the Revised Version. In kjv@John:10:1 kjv@John:10:16 it means a "sheep-fold." In kjv@Matthew:27:27 and kjv@Mark:15:16 (A.V., "common hall;" R.V., "palace") it refers to the proetorium or residence of the Roman governor at Jerusalem. The "porch" in kjv@Matthew:26:71 is the entrance-hall or passage leading into the central court, which is open to the sky.
Hallel @ praise, the name given to the group of kjv@Psalms:113-118, which are preeminently psalms of praise. It is called "The Egyptian Hallel," because it was chanted in the temple whilst the Passover lambs were being slain. It was chanted also on other festival occasions, as at Pentecost, the feast of Tabernacles, and the feast of Dedication. The Levites, standing before the altar, chanted it verse by verse, the people responding by repeating the verses or by intoned hallelujahs. It was also chanted in private families at the feast of Passover. This was probably the hymn which our Saviour and his disciples sung at the conclusion of the Passover supper kept by them in the upper room at Jerusalem kjv@Matthew:26:30; kjv@Mark:14:26). There is also another group called "The Great Hallel," comprehending kjv@Psalms:118-136, which was recited on the first evening at the Passover supper and on occasions of great joy.
Hallelujah @ praise ye Jehovah, frequently rendered "Praise ye the LORD," stands at the beginning of ten of the psalms (106, 111-113, 135, 146-150), hence called "hallelujah psalms." From its frequent occurrence it grew into a formula of praise. The Greek form of the word (alleluia) is found in kjv@Revelation:19:1-3, 4, 6.
Hallow @ to render sacred, to consecrate kjv@Exodus:28:38 kjv@Exodus:29:1). This word is from the Saxon, and properly means "to make holy." The name of God is "hallowed", i.e., is reverenced as holy kjv@Matthew:6:9).
Halt @ lame on the feet kjv@Genesis:32:31; kjv@Psalms:38:17). To "halt between two opinions" (kjvKings:18:21) is supposed by some to be an expression used in "allusion to birds, which hop from spray to spray, forwards and backwards." The LXX. render the expression "How long go ye lame on both knees?" The Hebrew verb rendered "halt" is used of the irregular dance ("leaped upon") around the altar (ver. 26). It indicates a lame, uncertain gait, going now in one direction, now in another, in the frenzy of wild leaping.
Ham @ warm, hot, and hence the south; also an Egyptian word meaning "black", the youngest son of Noah kjv@Genesis:5:32; comp. 9:22-24). The curse pronounced by Noah against Ham, properly against Canaan his fourth son, was accomplished when the Jews subsequently exterminated the Canaanites. One of the most important facts recorded in Genesis:10 is the foundation of the earliest monarchy in Babylonia by Nimrod the grandson of Ham (6, 8, 10). The primitive Babylonian empire was thus Hamitic, and of a cognate race with the primitive inhabitants of Arabia and of Ethiopia. (
See ACCAD.) The race of Ham were the most energetic of all the descendants of Noah in the early times of the post-diluvian world.
Haman @ (of Persian origin), magnificent, the name of the vizier (i.e., the prime minister) of the Persian king Ahasuerus kjv@Esther:3:1, etc.). He is called an "Agagite," which seems to denote that he was descended from the royal family of the Amalekites, the bitterest enemies of the Jews, as Agag was one of the titles of the Amalekite kings. He or his parents were brought to Persia as captives taken in war. He was hanged on the gallows which he had erected for Mordecai the Jew kjv@Esther:7:10). (
See ESTHER
Hamath @ fortress, the capital of one of the kingdoms of Upper Syria of the same name, on the Orontes, in the valley of Lebanon, at the northern boundary of Palestine kjv@Numbers:13:21 kjv@Numbers:34:8), at the foot of Hermon kjv@Joshua:13:5) towards Damascus kjv@Zechariah:9:2; kjv@Jeremiah:49:23). It is called "Hamath the great" in kjv@Amos:6:2, and "Hamath-zobah" in kjv@2Chronicals:8:3. Hamath, now Hamah, had an Aramaean population, but Hittite monuments discovered there show that it must have been at one time occupied by the Hittites. It was among the conquests of the Pharaoh Thothmes III. Its king, Tou or Toi, made alliance with David ( kjv@2Samuel:8:10), and in B.C. 740 Azariah formed a league with it against Assyria. It was, however, conquered by the Assyrians, and its nineteen districts placed under Assyrian governors. In B.C. 720 it revolted under a certain Yahu-bihdi, whose name, compounded with that of the God of Israel (Yahu), perhaps shows that he was of Jewish origin. But the revolt was suppressed, and the people of Hamath were transported to Samaria ( kjv@2Kings:17:24 kjv@2Kings:17:30), where they continued to worship their god Ashima. Hamah is beautifully situated on the Orontes, 32 miles north of Emesa, and 36 south of the ruins of Assamea. The kingdom of Hamath comprehended the great plain lying on both banks of the Orontes from the fountain near Riblah to Assamea on the north, and from Lebanon on the west to the desert on the east. The "entrance of Hamath" kjv@Numbers:34:8), which was the north boundary of Palestine, led from the west between the north end of Lebanon and the Nusairiyeh mountains.
Hamath-zobah @ fortress of Zobah, ( kjv@2Chronicals:8:3) is supposed by some to be a different place from the foregoing; but this is quite uncertain.
Hammath @ warm springs, one of the "fenced cities" of Naphtali kjv@Joshua:19:35). It is identified with the warm baths (the heat of the water ranging from 136 degrees to 144 degrees) still found on the shore a little to the south of Tiberias under the name of Hummam Tabariyeh ("Bath of Tiberias").
Hammedatha @ father of Haman, designated usually "the Agagite" kjv@Esther:3:1 kjv@Esther:3:10 kjv@Esther:8:5).
Hammelech @ the king's, the father of Jerahmeel, mentioned in kjv@Jeremiah:36:26. Some take this word as a common noun, "the king", and understand that Jerahmeel was Jehoiakim's son. Probably, however, it is to be taken as a proper name.
Hammer @
(1.) Heb. pattish, used by gold-beaters kjv@Isaiah:41:7) and by quarry-men kjv@Jeremiah:23:29). Metaphorically of Babylon kjv@Jeremiah:50:23) or Nebuchadnezzar.
(2.) Heb. makabah, a stone-cutter's mallet (kjvKings:6:7), or of any workman kjv@Judges:4:21; kjv@Isaiah:44:12).
(3.) Heb. halmuth, a poetical word for a workman's hammer, found only in kjv@Judges:5:26, where it denotes the mallet with which the pins of the tent of the nomad are driven into the ground.
(4.) Heb. mappets, rendered "battle-axe" in kjv@Jeremiah:51:20. This was properly a "mace," which is thus described by Rawlinson: "The Assyrian mace was a short, thin weapon, and must either have been made of a very tough wood or (and this is more probable) of metal. It had an ornamented head, which was sometimes very beautifully modelled, and generally a strap or string at the lower end by which it could be grasped with greater firmness."
Hammoleketh @ the queen, the daughter of Machir and sister of Gilead ( kjv@1Chronicles:7:17-18). Abiezer was one of her three children.
Hammon @ warm springs.
(1.) A town in the tribe of Asher, near Zidon kjv@Joshua:19:28), identified with 'Ain Hamul.
(2.) A Levitical city of Naphtali ( kjv@1Chronicles:6:76).
Hammoth-dor @ warm springs, a Levitical city of Naphtali kjv@Joshua:21:32); probably Hammath in 19:35.
Hamon @
See BAAL
- HAMON.
Hamon-gog @ multitude of Gog, the name of the valley in which the slaughtered forces of Gog are to be buried kjv@Ezekiel:39:11 kjv@Ezekiel:39:15), "the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea."
Hamonah @ multitude, a name figuratively assigned to the place in which the slaughter and burial of the forces of Gog were to take place kjv@Ezekiel:39:16).
Hamor @ he-ass, a Hivite from whom Jacob purchased the plot of ground in which Joseph was afterwards buried kjv@Genesis:33:19). He is called "Emmor" in kjv@Acts:7:16. His son Shechem founded the city of that name which Simeon and Levi destroyed because of his crime in the matter of Dinah, Jacob's daughter kjv@Genesis:34:20). Hamor and Shechem were also slain (ver. 26).
Hamul @ spared, one of the sons of Pharez, son of Judah ( kjv@1Chronicles:2:5). His descendants are called Hamulites kjv@Numbers:26:21).
Hamutal @ kinsman of the dew, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah, wife of king Josiah, and mother of king Jehoahaz ( kjv@2Kings:23:31), also of king Zedekiah ( kjv@2Kings:24:18).

Hananeel @ God has graciously given, a tower in the wall of Jerusalem kjv@Nehemiah:3:1 kjv@Nehemiah:12:39). It is mentioned also in kjv@Jeremiah:31:38; kjv@Zechariah:14:10.
Hanani @ God has gratified me, or is gracious.
(1.) One of the sons of Heman ( kjv@1Chronicles:25:4 kjv@1Chronicles:25:25).
(2.) A prophet who was sent to rebuke king Asa for entering into a league with Benhadad I., king of Syria, against Judah ( kjv@2Chronicals:16:1-10). He was probably the father of the prophet Jehu (kjvKings:16:7).
(3.) Probably a brother of Nehemiah kjv@Nehemiah:1:2 kjv@Nehemiah:7:2), who reported to him the melancholy condition of Jerusalem. Nehemiah afterwards appointed him to have charge of the city gates.

Hand @ Called by Galen "the instrument of instruments." It is the symbol of human action kjv@Psalms:9:16; kjv@Job:9:30; kjv@Isaiah:1:15; kjv@1Timothy:2:8). Washing the hands was a symbol of innocence kjv@Psalms:26:6 kjv@Psalms:73:13; kjv@Matthew:27:24), also of sanctification ( kjv@1Corinthians:6:11; kjv@Isaiah:51:16; kjv@Psalms:24:3-4). In kjv@Psalms:77:2 the correct rendering is, as in the Revised Version, "My hand was stretched out," etc., instead of, as in the Authorized Version, "My sore ran in the night," etc. The right hand denoted the south, and the left the north kjv@Job:23:9; kjv@1Samuel:23:19). To give the right hand was a pledge of fidelity ( kjv@2Kings:10:15; kjv@Ezra:10:19); also of submission to the victors kjv@Ezekiel:17:18; kjv@Jeremiah:50:15). The right hand was lifted up in taking an oath kjv@Genesis:14:22, etc.). The hand is frequently mentioned, particularly the right hand, as a symbol of power and strength kjv@Psalms:60:5; kjv@Isaiah:28:2). To kiss the hand is an act of homage (kjvKings:19:18; kjv@Job:31:27), and to pour water on one's hands is to serve him ( kjv@2Kings:3:11). The hand of God is the symbol of his power: its being upon one denotes favour kjv@Ezra:7:6 kjv@Ezra:7:28 kjv@Isaiah:1:25; kjv@Luke:1:66, etc.) or punishment kjv@Exodus:9:3; kjv@Judges:2:15; kjv@Acts:13:11, etc.). A position at the right hand was regarded as the chief place of honour and power kjv@Psalms:45:9 kjv@Psalms:80:17 kjv@Psalms:110:1 ; kjv@Matthew:26:64).
Handbreadth @ a measure of four fingers, equal to about four inches kjv@Exodus:25:25 kjv@Exodus:37:12; kjv@Psalms:39:5, etc.).
Handkerchief @ Only once in Authorized Version kjv@Acts:19:12). The Greek word (sudarion) so rendered means properly "a sweat-cloth." It is rendered "napkin" in kjv@John:11:44 kjv@John:20:7; kjv@Luke:19:20.
Handmaid @ servant kjv@Genesis:16:1; kjv@Ruth:3:9; kjv@Luke:1:48). It is probable that Hagar was Sarah's personal attendant while she was in the house of Pharaoh, and was among those maid-servants whom Abram had brought from Egypt.
Handwriting @ kjv@Colossians:2:14). The "blotting out the handwriting" is the removal by the grace of the gospel of the condemnation of the law which we had broken.
Hanes @ a place in Egypt mentioned only in kjv@Isaiah:30:4 in connection with a reproof given to the Jews for trusting in Egypt. It was considered the same as Tahpanhes, a fortified town on the eastern frontier, but has been also identified as Ahnas-el
- Medeeneh, 70 miles from Cairo.
Hanging @ (as a punishment), a mark of infamy inflicted on the dead bodies of criminals kjv@Deuteronomy:21:23) rather than our modern mode of punishment. Criminals were first strangled and then hanged kjv@Numbers:25:4; kjv@Deuteronomy:21:22). (
See kjv@2Samuel:21:6 for the practice of the Gibeonites.) Hanging (as a curtain).
(1.) Heb. masak, (a) before the entrance to the court of the tabernacle kjv@Exodus:35:17); (b) before the door of the tabernacle (26:36-37); (c) before the entrance to the most holy place, called "the veil of the covering" (35:12; 39:34), as the word properly means.
(2.) Heb. kelaim, tapestry covering the walls of the tabernacle kjv@Exodus:27:9 kjv@Exodus:35:17; kjv@Numbers:3:26) to the half of the height of the wall kjv@Exodus:27:18; comp. 26:16). These hangings were fastened to pillars.
(3.) Heb. bottim ( kjv@2Kings:23:7), "hangings for the grove" (R.V., "for the Asherah"); marg., instead of "hangings," has "tents" or "houses." Such curtained structures for idolatrous worship are also alluded to in kjv@Ezekiel:16:16.
Hannah @ favour, grace, one of the wives of Elkanah the Levite, and the mother of Samuel ( kjv@1Samuel:1; 2). Her home was at Ramathaim-zophim, whence she was wont every year to go to Shiloh, where the tabernacle had been pitched by Joshua, to attend the offering of sacrifices there according to the law kjv@Exodus:23:15 kjv@Exodus:34:18; kjv@Deuteronomy:16:16), probably at the feast of the Passover (comp. kjv@Exodus:13:10). On occasion of one of these "yearly" visits, being grieved by reason of Peninnah's conduct toward her, she went forth alone, and kneeling before the Lord at the sanctuary she prayed inaudibly. Eli the high priest, who sat at the entrance to the holy place, observed her, and misunderstanding her character he harshly condemned her conduct ( kjv@1Samuel:1:14-16). After hearing her explanation he retracted his injurious charge and said to her, "Go in peace: and the God of Israel grant thee thy petition." Perhaps the story of the wife of Manoah was not unknown to her. Thereafter Elkanah and his family retired to their quiet home, and there, before another Passover, Hannah gave birth to a son, whom, in grateful memory of the Lord's goodness, she called Samuel, i.e., "heard of God." After the child was weaned (probably in his third year) she brought him to Shiloh into the house of the Lord, and said to Eli the aged priest, "Oh my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the Lord. For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him: therefore I also have granted him to the Lord; as long as he liveth he is granted to the Lord" ( kjv@1Samuel:1:27-28, R.V.). Her gladness of heart then found vent in that remarkable prophetic song (2:1-10; comp. kjv@Luke:1:46-55) which contains the first designation of the Messiah under that name ( kjv@1Samuel:2:10, "Annointed" = "Messiah"). And so Samuel and his parents parted. He was left at Shiloh to minister "before the Lord." And each year, when they came up to Shiloh, Hannah brought to her absent child "a little coat" (Heb. meil, a term used to denote the "robe" of the ephod worn by the high priest, kjv@Exodus:28:31), a priestly robe, a long upper tunic ( kjv@1Chronicles:15:27), in which to minister in the tabernacle ( kjv@1Samuel:2:19 kjv@1Samuel:15:27; kjv@Job:2:12). "And the child Samuel grew before the Lord." After Samuel, Hannah had three sons and two daughters.
Hanniel @ grace of God.
(1.) A chief of the tribe of Manasseh kjv@Numbers:34:23).
(2.) A chief of the tribe of Asher ( kjv@1Chronicles:7:39).
Hanun @ graciously given.
(1.) The son and successor of Nahash, king of Moab. David's messengers, sent on an embassy of condolence to him to Rabbah Ammon, his capital, were so grossly insulted that he proclaimed war against Hanun. David's army, under the command of Joab, forthwith crossed the Jordan, and gained a complete victory over the Moabites and their allies ( kjv@2Samuel:10:1-14) at Medeba (q.v.).
(2.) kjv@Nehemiah:3:13.
(3.) kjv@3:30.
Hara @ mountainous land, a province of Assyria (
