Hammol'eketh (Ileb. ham-Mole'keth, 'T^'zhiz'n^ which is the art. jirefixed to P^pb, mole'keth, fern. part. = "the Queen;" Sept. ?'/ MoXf^s^.^'ulg- translates re- gina), a woman introduced in the genealogies of Manas- seh as daughter of IMachir and sister of Gilead (1 Chron. vii, 17, 18), and as having among her three children Abi-ezer, from whose family sprang the great judge Gideon, B.C. prob. between 1874 and 1658. The Tar- gum translates the name by Hisbp '1, who reigned. The Jewish tradition, as preserved bj-^ Kimchi in his com- mentarj' on the passage, is that "she used to reign over a portion of the land which belonged to Gilead," and that for that reason her lineage has been preserved. — Smith, 8. V. See Hasuiklech.
Ham'mon (Heb. Chammon', lisri, warm; Sept. 'Afioiv and Xajxwi>), the name of two places.
1. A town in the tribe of Asher, mentioned between Eehob and Kanali ( Josli. xix, 28). Dr. Eobhison qubtcs the suggestion di' Schultz as possible, that it may be the ruined town Hamnl, at tlie head of a wady of the same name which comes doAvn to the Mediterranean just north of En-Nakurah, somewhat south of Tyre (ne^v ed. of Researches, iii, 66). Schwarz thinks it is identical with a village Hamani, situated, according to him, two miles south by east of Tyre {Palest, p. 192) ; probably the place marked on Zimmerman's and Van de Velde's Maps as Himnav-eh. The scriptural text, however, woidd seem to indicate a position on the northern boun- dary, about midway between Naphtali (at Eehob) and Sidon. Hence Knobel (Erkldr. ad loc.) connects it with the village Hammana, on a wady of the same name east of BejTut, where there is now a Maronite monasterj-- (Seetzen, i, 260); but this, again, is too I'ar north (Keil, in Keil and Delitzsch, ad loc). Van de Velde (Memoir and Map') adopts the first of the above sites, which, al- though neither the name nor the situation exactly agrees, is perhaps the best hitherto suggested.
2. A Levitical city of Naphtali, assigned, with its suburbs, to the descendants of Gershom (1 Chron. vi, 76). Schwarz (Palest. \). 183) not improbably conjectures that it is the same with Hamjiatii (Josh. xLx, 35). Compare Hajijioth-uou (Josh, xxi, 32).
Hammond, Hexkv, D.D., a learned divine of the EngUsh Church, was born Aug. 18, 1605, at Chertsey, Surrej-. He was sent at an early age to Eton, whence he removed to INIagdalen College, Oxford, and became a fellow of that society in 1625. In 1633 the earl of Leicester presented him to the rectory of Penshiu-st, Kent, where he resided till 1643, when he was made archdeacon of Chichester. " By birth and education a confirmed Eoyalist, he retired to Oxford soon after the civil war broke out, continued to reside there while that city was held by the king, and attended the king's com- missioners to Uxbridge, where he disputed with Vines, a Presbyterian minister. He was ajipointed canon of Christchiu-ch and pulilic orator in 1645, and attended Charles I as his chaplain from the time when he fell into the hands of the army until the end of 1647, when the king's attendants were sent away from him. Ham- mond then returned to Oxford, and was chosen sub- dean of Christchurch, from ^vhich situation he was ex-

pclled in Tklarch, 1G48, by the parliamentan' visitors, and placed for some time in confinement. On his re- liase he repaired to Westwood, Worcestersliire, the seat of Sir Jolin Packwood, where the remainder of his hfe was spent in literary labor, 'doing much good to the day of his death, in which time he had the disposal of great charities reposed in his hands, as being the most zealous promoter of almsgiving that lived in England since the change of religion.' ... He died after long suffering from a complication of disorders, April 25, 1660. It is said that Charles II intended for him the bishopric of Worcester. Hammond was a man of great learning, as well in the classics and general philology as in doc- trinal and school divinity, and possessed great natural ability" (.Jones, C/i)-ht. Biogr. p. 210). Of his writings the following arc some of the most important : Prac- tical Cdlec/iLini (IGU) : — Paraphrase and Annotations OH the Xew Testament (Lond. 1653, 8vo; often reprinted; last edition 1845, 4 vols. 8vo). It was translated into Latin by Leclerc (Amster. 1698), with observations and criticisms. Dr. Johnson was very fond of Hammond's Annotations, and recommended them strongly. The theology of the work is Arminian. Paraphrase and Annotations upon the Psalms (1659, fol. ; new ed. 1850, 2 \o\s.B\-o): — Discourses on God's Grace and Dea-ees (1660, 8vo), taking the Arminian \\tyf:— Annotations on the Proverbs (1683, M.) : — Sermons (1644, fol.). These, with many valuable writings on the Itomish controversy, may be found in Fulman's Collected Works ofDr.Uitmmond (3d ed., London, 1774, 4 vols, fol.), of which the 1st vol. contains his Life by Dr. Fell. The /.;/'' was reprinted in 1849, and may be found in Words- worth, Juries. Biotjraphtj, iv, 313. See also Hook, Eccl. Pidtpiijihij. V, 534. Hammond's miscellaneous theologic- al writings are reprinted in t\\^ Library of Angh-Cath- oUr Thnln;!,/ (Oxford 1847-51, 4 vols. 8vo).

Ifamoth Dor), a Levitical and refuge city of Naphtali (Josh, xxi, 32) ; probably the same elsewhere called simply Hammatii (Josh, xix, 35).
