1. One of Mered's two wives. Mother to the fathers or founders of Keilah and Eshtemoa (1 Chronicles 4:19). The same as Jehudijah (but Keil gives reason for Hodiah being a man (See JEHUDIJAH)) "the Jewess" (1 Chronicles 4:18), to distinguish her from his other wife Bithiah ("worshipper of Jehovah"), an Egyptian princess, daughter of Pharaoh, a convert from idolatry.
2. HODIJAH. Nehemiah 8:7; Nehemiah 9:5; Nehemiah 10:10; Nehemiah 10:13; Nehemiah 10:18.
