OHOLIBAH ō hō’ lĭ bə (אָהֳלִיבָ֣ה). KJV AHOLIBAH. A symbolical name given by Ezekiel to Jerusalem because she had allowed herself to be led into idolatry by Babylon. Ezekiel gives a similar name to Oholibah’s sister, representing Samaria, because she was led astray by Assyria. The sisters are the daughters of the same mother, and are represented as the wives of Jehovah, guilty of marital unfaithfulness to Him (Ezek 23).
