“Hen” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
Son of Zephaniah (Zech. 6:14). By comparing verse 14 with Zechariah 6:10 Hen (really Chen) appears to be another name of Josiah. Some treat the word Hen not as a proper name, and translate “for the favor of the son of Zephaniah.”
“Hen” From Concise Bible Dictionary:
In Matthew 23:37 and Luke 13:34 the domestic fowl is alluded to, and her well-known care for her chickens, in illustration of how the Lord would have gathered the Jews under His almighty and loving protection; but, alas, they would not!
