o'-had ('ohadh, meaning unknown): A son of Simeon, mentioned as third in order (Gen 46:10; Ex 6:15). The name is not found in the list of Nu 26:12-14.
o'-hel ('ohel, "tent"): A son of Zerubbabel (1 Ch 3:20).
o-ho'-la ('oholah; the King James Version Aholah): The exact meaning is a matter of dispute. As written, it seems to mean a tent-woman, or the woman living in a tent. With a mappik in the last consonant it could mean "her tent." The term is used symbolically by Ezekiel to designate Samaria or the kingdom of Israel (Ezek 23:4,5,36,44).
See OHOLIBAH .
o-ho'-li-ab ('oholi'abh, "father's tent"; the King James Version Aholiab): A Danite artificer, who assisted Bezalel in the construction of the tabernacle and its furniture (Ex 31:6; 35:34; 36:1 f; 38:23).
o-hol'-i-ba, o-ho'-li-ba ('oholibhah, "tent in her," or "my tent is in her"): An opprobrious and symbolical name given by Ezekiel to Jerusalem, representing the kingdom of Judah, because of her intrigues and base alliances with Egypt, Assyria and Babylonia, just as the name OHOLAH (which see) was given to Samaria or the Northern Kingdom, because of her alliances with Egypt and Assyria. There is a play upon the words in the Hebrew which cannot be reproduced in English Both Oholah and Oholibah, or Samaria and Jerusalem, are the daughters of one mother, and wives of Yahweh, and both are guilty of religious and political alliance with heathen nations. Idolatry is constantly compared by the Hebrew prophets to marital unfaithfulness or adultery.

o-hol-i-ba'-ma, o-hol-i-ba'-ma ('oholibhamah, "tent of the high place"):
(1) One of Esau's wives, and a daughter of Anah the Hivite (Gen 36:2,5). It is strange that she is not named along with Esau's other wives in either Gen 28:9 or 26:30. Various explanations have been given, but none of them is satisfactory. There is probably some error in the text.
(2) An Edomite chief (Gen 36:41; 1 Ch 1:52).
