Hodaviah, [H“wdavyƒh <\\See definition 01938\\>,] is called Hodevah, [H“wdevƒh <\\See definition 01937\\>,] by the elision of [Y“wd,] {yood,} and was probably named Judah, from the word having the same signification.

People ................... people's ..... people <05971> [So that.]

This sight must have been very affecting; a whole people, one part weeping aloud with sorrow, the other shouting aloud for joy; and on the same occasion too, in which both sides felt an equal interest. The prophet Haggai (ch 2:1-9) comforted them on this occasion, by assuring them that the glory of this latter house should exceed that of the former, because the Lord would come to this temple, and fill it with His glory.
