      3. (Law) A day fixed by law for suspension of business; a
            legal holiday.
  
      Note: In the United States legal holidays, so called, are
               determined by law, commonly by the statutes of the
               several States. The holidays most generally observed
               are: the 22d day of February (Washington's birthday),
               the 30th day of May (Memorial day), the 4th day of July
               (Independence day), the 25th day of December (Christmas
               day). In most of the States the 1st day of January is a
               holiday. When any of these days falls on Sunday,
               usually the Monday following is observed as the
               holiday. In many of the States a day in the spring (as
               Good Friday, or the first Thursday in April), and a day
               in the fall (as the last Thursday in November) are now
               regularly appointed by Executive proclamation to be
               observed, the former as a day of fasting and prayer,
               the latter as a day of thanksgiving and are kept as
               holidays. In England, the days of the greater church
               feasts (designated in the calendar by a red letter, and
               commonly called red-letter days) are observed as
               general holidays. Bank holidays are those on which, by
               act of Parliament, banks may suspend business. Although
               Sunday is a holiday in the sense of a day when business
               is legally suspended, it is not usually included in the
               general term, the phrase [bd]Sundays and holidays[b8]
               being more common.
  
      {The holidays}, any fixed or usual period for relaxation or
            festivity; especially, Christmas and New Year's day with
            the intervening time.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Halt
      lame on the feet (Gen. 32:31; Ps. 38:17). To "halt between two
      opinions" (1 Kings 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.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Heldai
      wordly. (1.) 1 Chr. 27:15; called also Heleb (2 Sam. 23:29); one
      of David's captains.
     
         (2.) Zech. 6:10, one who returned from Babylon.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Heled
      this world, (1 Chr. 11:30); called Heleb (2 Sam. 23:29).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Hold
      a fortress, the name given to David's lurking-places (1 Sam.
      22:4, 5; 24:22).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Huldah
      weasel, a prophetess; the wife of Shallum. She was consulted
      regarding the "book of the law" discovered by the high priest
      Hilkiah (2 Kings 22:14-20; 2 Chr. 34:22-28). She resided in that
      part of Jerusalem called the Mishneh (A.V., "the college;" R.V.,
      "the second quarter"), supposed by some to be the suburb between
      the inner and the outer wall, the second or lower city, Akra.
      Miriam (Ex. 15:20) and Deborah (Judg. 4:4) are the only others
      who bear the title of "prophetess," for the word in Isa. 8:3
      means only the prophet's wife.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Heldai, Heleb, Heled, the world; rustiness
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Huldah, the world
