in Revised Version. [See Hell]
Hadid
(sharp), a place named, with Lod (Lydda) and Ono, only in the later books of the history. (Ezra
2:33; Nehemiah 7:37; 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
(rest of God), a man of Ephraim. (2 Chronicles 28:12)
Hadoram
(noble honor).
•The fifth son of Joktan. (Genesis 10:27; 1 Chronicles 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. (1 Chronicles 18:10) (B.C. 1035.)
•The form assumed in Chronicles by the name of the intendant of taxes under David, Solomon and
Rehoboam. (2 Chronicles 10:18) In Kings the name is given in the longer form of Adoniram, but
in Samuel, (2 Samuel 20:24) as Adoram.
Hadrach
(dwelling), a country of Syria, mentioned once only, by the prophet Zechariah. (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.
Haga Bah
under which it is found in the parallel list of (Ezra 2:45)
Hagab
(locust). Bene-Hagab were among the Nethinim who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel.
(Ezra 2:46) (B.C. before 536.)
Hagaba
(locust). Bene Hagaba were among the Nethinim who came back from captivity with Zerubbabel.
(Nehemiah 7:48) The name is slightly different in form from
Hagar
(flight), an Egyptian woman, the handmaid or slave of Sarah, (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 (Genesis 16:2,3) (B.C. 1912.) When Hagar saw that she had conceived, “her
mistress was despised in her eyes,” v. 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.
(Genesis 21:9-21) St. Paul, (Galatians 4:25) refers to her as the type of the old covenant of the law.
