Hen
Smith's Bible Dictionary
Hen. (rest).
1. Probably, a son of Zephaniah, and apparently, the same who is called Josiah, in Zechariah 6:10.
2. The hen is nowhere noticed in the Bible except in Matthew 23:37; Luke 13:34. That a bird so common in Palestine should receive such slight notice is certainly peculiar.
