Topic: Persons Of The Bible - Naamah

The name "Naamah" means "pleasant" in Hebrew. The name also means "beautiful" or "loveliness."

There are two persons in the Bible whose names are "Naamah."

(1) One of the four women whose names are preserved in the records of the world before the flood; all except Eve being Cainites. Naamah was daughter of Lamech by his wife Zillah, and sister, as is expressly mentioned to Tubal-cain (Genesis 4:22) only. (B.C. about 3550.)
(2) Mother of King Rehoboam. (1 Kings 14:21,31; 2 Chronicles 12:13) In each of these passages Naamah is distinguished by the title "the (not 'an,' as in Authorized Version) Ammonite." She was therefore one of the foreign women whom Solomon took into his establishment. (1 Kings 11:1) (B.C. 1015-975.)
