  Hail!
     a salutation expressive of a wish for the welfare of the person
     addressed; the translation of the Greek _Chaire_, "Rejoice"
     (Luke 1:8). Used in mockery in Matt. 27:29.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary : [ easton ]


  Hail
     frozen rain-drops; one of the plagues of Egypt (Ex. 9:23). It is
     mentioned by Haggai as a divine judgment (Hag. 2:17). A
     hail-storm destroyed the army of the Amorites when they fought
     against Joshua (Josh. 10:11). Ezekiel represents the wall daubed
     with untempered mortar as destroyed by great hail-stones (Ezek.
     13:11). (See also 38:22; Rev. 8:7; 11:19; 16:21.)
