   Ham
      warm, hot, and hence the south; also an Egyptian word meaning
      "black", the youngest son of Noah (Gen. 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 Gen. 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.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hannah
      favour, grace, one of the wives of Elkanah the Levite, and the
      mother of Samuel (1 Sam. 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
      (Ex. 23:15; 34:18; Deut. 16:16), probably at the feast of the
      Passover (comp. Ex. 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
      (1 Sam. 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" (1 Sam. 1:27, 28, R.V.). Her
      gladness of heart then found vent in that remarkable prophetic
      song (2:1-10; comp. Luke 1:46-55) which contains the first
      designation of the Messiah under that name (1 Sam. 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, Ex. 28:31), a
      priestly robe, a long upper tunic (1 Chr. 15:27), in which to
      minister in the tabernacle (1 Sam. 2:19; 15:27; Job 2:12). "And
      the child Samuel grew before the Lord." After Samuel, Hannah had
      three sons and two daughters.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hem
      of a garment, the fringe of a garment. The Jews attached much
      importance to these, because of the regulations in Num. 15:38,
      39. These borders or fringes were in process of time enlarged so
      as to attract special notice (Matt. 23:5). The hem of Christ's
      garment touched (9:20; 14:36; Luke 8:44).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hen
      common in later times among the Jews in Palestine (Matt. 23:37;
      Luke 13:34). It is noticeable that this familiar bird is only
      mentioned in these passages in connection with our Lord's
      lamentation over the impenitence of Jerusalem.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hena
      one of the cities of Mesopotamia destroyed by sennacherib (2
      Kings 18:34; 19:13). It is identified with the modern Anah,
      lying on the right bank of the Euphrates, not far from
      Sepharvaim.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hoham
      Jehovah impels, the king of Hebron who joined the league against
      Gibeon. He and his allies were defeated (Josh. 10:3, 5, 16-27).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Honey
      (1.) Heb. ya'ar, occurs only 1 Sam. 14:25, 27, 29; Cant. 5:1,
      where it denotes the honey of bees. Properly the word signifies
      a forest or copse, and refers to honey found in woods.
     
         (2.) Nopheth, honey that drops (Ps. 19:10; Prov. 5:3; Cant.
      4:11).
     
         (3.) Debash denotes bee-honey (Judg. 14:8); but also
      frequently a vegetable honey distilled from trees (Gen. 43:11;
      Ezek. 27:17). In these passages it may probably mean "dibs," or
      syrup of grapes, i.e., the juice of ripe grapes boiled down to
      one-third of its bulk.
     
         (4.) Tsuph, the cells of the honey-comb full of honey (Prov.
      16:24; Ps. 19:10).
     
         (5.) "Wild honey" (Matt. 3:4) may have been the vegetable
      honey distilled from trees, but rather was honey stored by bees
      in rocks or in trees (Deut. 32:13; Ps. 81:16; 1 Sam. 14:25-29).
     
         Canaan was a "land flowing with milk and honey" (Ex. 3:8).
      Milk and honey were among the chief dainties in the earlier
      ages, as they are now among the Bedawin; and butter and honey
      are also mentioned among articles of food (Isa. 7:15). The
      ancients used honey instead of sugar (Ps. 119:103; Prov. 24:13);
      but when taken in great quantities it caused nausea, a fact
      referred to in Prov. 25:16, 17 to inculcate moderation in
      pleasures. Honey and milk also are put for sweet discourse
      (Cant. 4:11).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hymn
      occurs only Eph. 5:19 and Col. 3:16. The verb to "sing an hymn"
      occurs Matt. 26:30 and Mark 14:26. The same Greek word is
      rendered to "sing praises" Acts 16:25 (R.V., "sing hymns") and
      Heb. 2:12. The "hymn" which our Lord sang with his disciples at
      the last Supper is generally supposed to have been the latter
      part of the Hallel, comprehending Ps. 113-118. It was thus a
      name given to a number of psalms taken together and forming a
      devotional exercise.
     
         The noun hymn is used only with reference to the services of
      the Greeks, and was distinguished from the psalm. The Greek
      tunes required Greek hymns. Our information regarding the
      hymnology of the early Christians is very limited.
