A  city  captured  by  the  Assyrians  (2  Kin.
xviii.  34  ;  xix.  13  ;  Is.  xxxvii.  13).  It  is  men


tioned  in  connection  with  Sepharvaim,  and
is  accordingly  sought  for  in  the  neighborhood
of  Babylonia.  Hena  is  commonly  identified
with  the  ancient  town  of  Ana,  at  a  ford  over
the  Euphrates,  about  160  miles  northwest  of
Bagdad.  Extensive  ruins  still  exist  at  the
spot.  The  two  names,  however,  are  radically
!  different.  Another  conjecture  places  it  on
an  island  in  the  Euphrates,  Avhere  the  As
syrian  inscriptions  locate  a  certain  Anat.
Hen'a-dad  [probably,  favor  of  Hadad].
Founder  of  a  Levitical  family,  whose  sons
supported  Zerubbabel  at  the  time  the  founda
tions  of  the  temple  were  being  laid  (Ezra  iii.
9),  and  assisted  in  rebuilding  the  wall  of  Je
rusalem  (Xeh.  iii.  18).
Hen/na  [Persian  henna,  Arabic  hanna].
The  rendering  of  the  Hebrew  Kopher,  cov
ering,  in  the  Septuagint  and  in  R.  V.  of  Song
i.  14  and  iv.  13.  It  is  translated  in  the  A.  V.
camphire.  Henna  is  a  plant  of  the  Lythrariese
or  loosestrife  order  (Lawsotiia  alba  or  inermis),
with  opposite  entire  leaves,  and  fragrant,  yel
low  and  white  flowers  in  corymbs  or  clusters
(Song  i.  14).  The  Greeks  called  it  kvpros,
from  the  island  of  Cyprus,  where  it  grew.  In
Palestine  its  special  seat  was  the  virtually
tropical  region  of  En-gedi  (Song  i.  14)  and
Jericho  (War  iv.  8,  3).  The  leaves  and  young
twigs  are  made  into  a  fine  powder,  converted
into  paste  with  hot  water,  and  used  by  ori
ental  women  and  wealthy  men  to  dye  the
finger  and  toe  nails  and  the  soles  of  the  feet
a  reddish  orange  color.  Some  Egyptian
mummies  are  found  with  these  parts  dyed
in  the  same  manner.
