Hell; In the O.T. this is the A.V. translation of the Heb. Sheol, the dark, mysterious abode of the dead. The R.V. in general renders it “grave” or “pit” with Sheol in the margin.

³³For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. (1 Corinthians 14:33); Phil. 2:3; 4:2³Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. (Philippians 2:3)
²I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. (Philippians 4:2); Titus 3:10¹⁰A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; (Titus 3:10); Jude 19¹⁹These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. (Jude 19).

Heritage. Job 20:29²⁹This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God. (Job 20:29): h. appointed by God.

Psa. 16:6⁶The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage. (Psalm 16:6); Jer. 3:19¹⁹But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.

Mic. 7:14¹⁴Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old. (Micah 7:14): feed flock of thine h.

1 Peter 5:3³Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. (1 Peter 5:3): lords over God’s h. R.V. the charge allotted to you.

See Joel 2:17; 3:2¹⁷Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? (Joel 2:17)
²I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. (Joel 3:2); Mal. 1:3³And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness. (Malachi 1:3).

⁴⁸From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon, (Deuteronomy 4:48); Josh. 12:5; 13:5⁵And reigned in mount Hermon, and in Salcah, and in all Bashan, unto the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and half Gilead, the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.

⁵And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath. (Joshua 13:5); Psa. 89:12; 133:3¹²The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. (Psalm 89:12)
³As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore. (Psalm 133:3).

Hermonites, hĕr′-mō-nītes, “the summits of Hermon”; Psa. 42:6⁶O my God, my soul is cast down within me: therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermonites, from the hill Mizar. (Psalm 42:6).

Herod, hĕr′-o̲d.

(1) (the Great) king of Judaea. Matt. 2:1¹Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, (Matthew 2:1). Troubled at Christ’s birth. Matt. 2:3³When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. (Matthew 2:3).

slays the babes at Bethlehem. Matt. 2:16¹⁶Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men. (Matthew 2:16).

(2) (Antipas) reproved by John the Baptist, imprisons him, Luke 3:19¹⁹But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done, (Luke 3:19). Beheads him, Matt. 14; Mark 6:14¹⁴And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him. (Mark 6:14).

desires to see Christ. Luke 9:9⁹And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him. (Luke 9:9).

scourges Him, and is reconciled to Pilate. Luke 23:7⁷And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time. (Luke 23:7); Acts 4:27²⁷For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, (Acts 4:27).

(3) (Agrippa) persecutes the church. Acts 12:1¹Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. (Acts 12:1). His pride and miserable death. Acts 12:23²³And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost. (Acts 12:23).

(4) (Agrippa II.) Visit to Festus. Acts 25. Paul’s defence before. Acts 26.

Herodians, hĕ-rō′-dĭ-ăns; partisans of Herod. They appear to have been a political party rather than a religious sect. It is thought that they looked with disfavor on the popular Messianic expectations and desired a restoration of Jewish independence under some member of the Herodian family. In Matt. 22:16¹⁶And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. (Matthew 22:16) we find them allied with the Pharisees, to whose general principles they were hostile, in a combined attack upon our Lord. Rebuked by Christ. Matt. 22:16¹⁶And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. (Matthew 22:16); Mark 12:13¹³And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. (Mark 12:13).

plot against him. Mark 3:6; 8:15; 12:13⁶And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him. (Mark 3:6)
¹⁵And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. (Mark 8:15)
¹³And they send unto him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. (Mark 12:13).

Herodias. Matt. 14:3³For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. (Matthew 14:3).

married to Herod Antipas. Mark 6:17¹⁷For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her. (Mark 6:17).

plans the death of John the Baptist. Matt. 14; Mark 6:24²⁴And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist. (Mark 6:24).

Herodion, hē-rō′-dĭ-o̲n; Paul’s kinsman. Rom. 16:11¹¹Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord. (Romans 16:11).
