HDSBANDRY The ' husband ' is originally the
' master of the house ' (Icel. hiis, a ' house,' and buandi, ' inhabiting '), but the word is used in AV only in the mod. sense of a married man. See Family, Marriage.
So a busbandman is a householder, as Mt 20' Wye. ' The kyngdam of hevenes is lie to an husbond man' (Tind. and all others 'householder'), but in AV it always means a tiller of the ground, a far- mer. Then ' husbandry ' is first the occuii.ition of a husbandman, 2Ch 26''' 'he had much caltle, both in the low country and in the plains : husbandmen also, and vinedressers in the mountains, and in Carniel : for he loved husbandry' (n^'js, lit., as AVm, 'ground'); 1 Es 4' 'Those that are no soldiers, and have not to do with wars, but use husbandry ' (yeiiipyovcnii -niv yfiv) ; Sir 7'° ' Hate not laborious work, neither husbandry ' (-^eupylav). But, secondly, in 1 Co 3° 'husbandry' is nsed figuratively in the sense of ' that which is culti- vated ' : ' ye are God's husbandry ' (Beov yewpytov.

lit., as RVm, ' God's field '). The first meaning is common. Thus Shaks. As You Like It, II. iii. ti5 —
* But, poor old man, thou prun'at a rott«n tree, That cannot so much a^ a blos-'^om yield, In lieu of all thy pains and huHbandry.'
Golding, Justine, fol. 181, 'The women have all tlie doyng in houskeping and husband rie, and the men geve themselfa to warre and rolibyng.' The second meaning is rare, being in 1 Co 3" an adapta- tion of the word to suit the Gr., as Shaks. uses ' liusbandry ' of the product of husbandry in Henry V. v. ii. 39—
' Alofi ! she hath from France too lon^ been chased, And all her husbandry dolh lie on heaps. Corrupting in its own fertility.'

HUSHAH (■vin, 'n<riv), the son of Ezer, the son of Hur (sfo IIuu 2), and therefore of the tribe of Judah. Probably H. represents the name of a place, otlierwi.se unknown, in Judah (1 Ch 4*).
See HUSIIATHITE.
HDSHAI ('^n, Xowei, Chusai). — An Archite (2 S 15^- 17'-"), i.e. a native of 'the border of the Archites' (.Jos 1G=) to the W. of Uethel. See Arbite. He is further described as ' the friend of David ' (in .i;:t lo'^'), while at 2 S IG'" the two titles are united. It is probable, therefore, that the LXX is right in reading ' the Archite, the friend of Da\'id,' at 2 S 15'-, though its rendering 6 ipx'^Taipof represents a strange combination of the gentilic name (in a Gra;cized form) and iroipos, the whole = 'cliief companion.' At the rebellion of Absalom he was induced by David to act as if he favoured the cause of the king's son. By BO doing he was enabled both to defeat the plans of Ahithophel and to keep David informed (by means of Ahiniaaz and Jonathan, the sons of Zadok and Abiathar the prie.sts) of the progress of events in Jerusalem (2 S IC'-IT^). He is prob- ably to be identified with the father of Baana, one of Solomon's twelve commissariat oflicers (1 K 4'"). G. Buchanan Gray {Hebrew Proper Nanics, p. 323) suggests that 'V^n may be a parallel forma- tion to ^'Itj (Abishai), the m being dropped as in oyn, ''S'n. J. i'". StenNING.

This description is applied to Sibdkcai (wh. .see), one of David s ' thirty ' heroes (2 8 21" = 1 Ch 20^, 2 S 23=^=1 Ch ll'* 27"). In the Utter
Eassage of 2 S the Hebrew reads 'Jii? (Mebunnai), ut a comparison with the parallel lists makes it clear that we must read Sibbecai as in 21" (•;?;). B A read ix tSiv vl^v ( = •;;;) ; but many MSS have Za^ovxai, Luc. ^a^SeW. In 1 Ch ll-« 27" the gen- tilic name appears as Hushshathite ('ly"?).
J. r. Sten'ning. HUSHIM (D'pn). — 1. The eponyni of a Danite family, Lin 46-",' called in Nu 20'- Shuham. In I Ch 7'^ Hushim seems to bo a Benjamite, but it is possible that for ' sons of Aher ' wo should road ' sons of another ' (-nx, not a nropcr name), i.e. Dan (80 QPB, nd Inc.).
