(my tabernacle) two symbolical names, are described as harlots, the former representing Samaria
and the latter Judah. Ezek. 23.
Aholiab
a Danite of great skill as a weaver and embroiderer, whom Moses appointed with Bezaleel to
erect the tabernacle. (Exodus 35:30-35) (B.C. 1490.)
Aholibamah Or Abolibamah
(my tabernacle is exulted), One of the three wives of Esau. (B.C. 1797.) She was the daughter
of Anah. (Genesis 36:2,26) In the earlier narrative, (Genesis 26:34) Aholi-bamah is called Judith,
which may have been her original name.
Ahumai
(brother of water, i.e. cowardly), Son of Jabath, a descendant of Judah, and head of one of the
families of the Zorathites. (1 Chronicles 4:2)
Ahuzam
(possession), properly Ahuzzam son of Ashur, the father or founder of Tekoa, by his wife
Naarah. (1 Chronicles 4:6)
Ahuzzath
(possesions) one of the friends of the Philistine king Abimelech, who accompanied him at his
interview with Isaac. (Genesis 26:26) (B.C. about 1877.)
Ai
(heap of ruins).
•A city lying east of Bethel and “beside Bethaven.” (Joshua 7:2; 8:9) It was the second city taken
by Israel after the passage of the Jordan, and was “utterly destroyed.” (Joshua 7:3-5; 8:1; Joshua
9:3; 10:1,2; 12:9)
•A city of the Ammonites, apparently attached to Heshbon. (Jeremiah 49:3)
Aiah
(clamor).
•Son of Zibeon, a descendant of Seir and ancestor of one of the wives of Esau, (1 Chronicles 1:40)
called in (Genesis 36:24) Ajah = A Iah. He probably died before his father, as the succession fell
to his brother Anah.
•Father of Rizpah, the concubine of Saul. (2 Samuel 3:7; 21:8,10,11) (B.C. before 1040.)
Aiath
(feminine of Ai), a place named by Isaiah, (Isaiah 10:28) in connection with Migron and
Michmash probably the same as Ai.
Aija
like Aiath probably a variation of the name Ai, mentioned with Michmash and Bethel. (Nehemiah
11:31)
Aijalon, Or Ajalon
(place of gazelles).
•A city of the Kohathites. (Joshua 21:24; 1 Chronicles 6:69) It was a Levitical city and a city of
refuge. It was originally allotted to the tribe of Dan, (Joshua 19:42) Authorized Version, AJALON,
which tribe, however, was unable to dispossess the Amorites of the place. (Judges 1:35) Aijalon
was one of the towns fortified by Reheboam, (2 Chronicles 11:10) and the last we hear of it is
being in the hands of the Philistines. (2 Chronicles 28:18) Being on the very frontier of the two
kingdoms, we can understand how Aijalon should be spoken of sometimes, (1 Chronicles 6:69)
