Hen

Easton's Bible Dictionary

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.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

Hen (1)

hen (chen, "favor"). In Zech 6:14, English Versions of the Bible reads, "And the crowns shall be to Helem .... and to Hen the son of Zephaniah." But as this person is called Josiah in Zech 6:10, the Revised Version, margin "and for the kindness of the son of Zephaniah" is probably right, but the text is uncertain.

See JOSIAH.
