his tabernacle; his tent
Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


("her own tent".) i.e., "she (Samaria, or the northern kingdom of Israel) has a tabernacle of her own"; namely, Jeroboam's golden calves of Dan and Bethel; "will worship" (Col_2:23). See Ezekiel 23: Aholibah (Aholah's sister). "My (Jehovah's) tent is in her," Judah: so far superior to Aholah that her worship was not self devised but God appointed. Compare Psa_78:67-69; 1Ki_12:25-33; 1Ch_11:13-16. But both were false to Jehovah their true husband (Isa_54:5).
Aholah (Samaria) gave her heart to the Assyrians, trusting in their power, and imitating their splendid luxury, and following their idols. Now God's just principle is, when the church corrupts herself with the world, the instrument of her sin is the instrument of her punishment. The Assyrians on whom she had leaned carried her away captive to Assyria, whence she has never returned (2Ki_15:18-29; 2Ki_15:17). Aholibah (Judah) was worse, in that her privileges were greater, and she ought to have been warned by the awful fate of Samaria. But she gave herself up to be corrupted by the Babylonians; and again the instrument of her sin was also the instrument of her punishment (Jer_2:19; Pro_1:31).

Aholibah
Aho?lah (her tent) and Aholibah (my tent is in her), two fictitious or symbolical names adopted by Ezekiel (Eze_23:4) to denote the two kingdoms of Samaria (Israel) and Judah. They are both symbolically described as lewd women, adulteresses, prostituting themselves to the Egyptians and the Assyrians, in imitating their abominations and idolatries; wherefore Jehovah abandoned them to those very people for whom they showed such inordinate and impure affection. They were carried into captivity, and reduced to the severest servitude. The allegory is an epitome of the history of the Jewish church.

Aholah
(Hebrew Oholah', אָהַלָה, i. q. אָהַלָהּ, she has her own tent, i e. tabernacle, for lascivious rites; Sept. Ο᾿ολά v. r. Ο᾿λλά, Ο᾿ολλά; Vulg. Oolla), the name of an imaginary harlot, used by Ezekiel (Eze_23:4-5; Eze_23:36; Eze_23:44) as a symbol of the idolatry of the northern kingdom, the apostate branch of Judah being designated, by a paronomasia, AHOLIBAH SEE AHOLIBAH (q.v.). These terms indicate respectively that, while the worship at Samaria had been self-invented, and never sanctioned by Jehovah, that at Jerusalem was divinely instituted and approved, so long as pure, but now degraded and abandoned for foreign alliances (Henderson, Comment. in loc.). They are both graphically described as sisters who became lewd women, adulteresses, prostituting themselves to the Egyptians and the Assyrians, in imitating their abominations and idolatries; wherefore Jehovah abandoned them to those very people for whom they showed such inordinate and impure affection. They were, carried into captivity, and reduced to the severest servitude. But the crime of Aholibah was greater than that of Aholah, for she possessed more distinguished privileges, and refused to be instructed by the awful example of her sister's ruin. The allegory is an epitome of the history of the Jewish Church. SEE IDOLATRY.
