Ezekiel 23:4

Aholah ... and Aholibah - More correctly "Oholah" ("her own tent or tabernacle" ) and "Oholibah" ("My tent or tabernacle is in her" ): names chosen to express that after the division Israel set up her own tabernacle in the place of the temple in which God dwelt I Kings 12:32, while with Judah the Temple of God still remained. The presence of God aggravated Judah' s sins. In the times of the captivity it was customary among the Jews to give their children names connected with the temple or tabernacle.
