Aholah

Easton, 1897

She has her own tent, a name used by Ezekiel (Ezekiel 23:4, Ezekiel 23:5, Ezekiel 23:36, Ezekiel 23:44) as a symbol of the idolatry of the kingdom of Israel. This kingdom is described as a lewdwoman, an adulteress, given up to the abominations and idolatries of the Egyptians and Assyrians. Because of her crimes, she was carried away captive, and ceased to be a kingdom. (Comp. Psalms 78:67-69; 1 Kings 12:25-33; 2 Chronicles 11:13-16.)
