Haggai was one of the twelve minor prophets and the author of the Book of Haggai. He was the first of three prophets (with Zechariah, his contemporary, and Malachi, who lived about one hundred years later), whose ministry belonged to the period of Jewish history which began after the return from captivity in Babylon. Scarcely anything is known of his personal history. He may have been one of the captives taken to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. - Hezekiah
Hezekiah was the 13th king of independent Judah and the son of King Ahaz and Abijah (2 Chronicles 29:1), who was a daughter of a man (who was not the prophet) named Zechariah.

He married Jezebel, the daughter of King Ithobaal I of Tyre, and the alliance was doubtless the means of procuring him great riches, which brought pomp and luxury in their train. - Ebed-Melech
Ebed-Melech is mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah as an official at the court of Zedekiah, king of Judah during the Siege of Jerusalem. The name is translated as "Servant of the King", and as such may not be his proper name but a title. The text relates that he was a Nubian and a eunuch. Ebed-Me lech is notable for rescuing the prophet Jeremiah from the cistern where he was imprisoned. - Jeconiah

He was defeated and brought as a captive to Jerusalem, where his thumbs and great toes were cut off, which rendered him harmless as a future warrior, as he could no longer run nor draw a bow. - Josiah
Josiah or Yoshiyahu was king of Judah, and son of Amon and Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath. His grandfather was King Manasseh, who had turned from the Jewish religion, even adapting the Temple for worship that was considered idolatrous by faithful Jews.

Amoz was the father of the prophet Isaiah, mentioned in Isaiah 1:1 and 2:1, and in II Kings 19:2, 20; 20:1. Nothing else is known for certain about him. There is a Talmudic tradition that when the name of a prophet's father is given, the father was also a prophet, so that Amoz would have been a prophet like his son. Though it is mentioned frequently as the patronymic title of Isaiah, the name Amoz appears nowhere else in the Bible. - Jehu
Jehu (Lordis He"}}) was king of Israel, the son of Jehoshaphat, and grandson of Nimshi. William F. Albright has dated his reign to 842 BCE-815 BCE, while E. R. Thiele offers the dates 841 BCE-814 BCE. Our principal source for the events of his reign comes from "2 Kings" 9-10.

Years after this, the Syrian king Hadadezer was ill and sent his court official Hazael with gifts to Elijah's successor Elisha. Elisha asked Hazael to tell Hadadezer that he would recover, … - Abner
In the Book of Samuel, Abner (Biblical Hebrew for "father of [or is a] light"), is first cousin to Saul and commander-in-chief of his army (1 Samuel 14:50, 20:25).

According to the Biblical Book of Kings, he pardoned and released Jehoiachin, king of Judah, who had been a prisoner in Babylon for thirty-seven years.

Ashur (Akkadian:), was the second son of Shem, the son of Noah. Ashur's brothers were Elam, Aram, Arpachshad and Lud. The Hebrew text of Gen. 10:11 is somewhat ambiguous as to whether it was Ashur himself (eg. as reads the KJV), or Nimrod who built the cities of Nineveh, etc. in Assyria, since the name "Ashur" can refer to either the person or the country. - Jehoram Of Israel
Jehoram (or Joram) was the king of Israel ("2 Kings" 8:16, 25, 28f), and he was the son of Ahab. William F. Albright has dated his reign to 849 BCE-842 BCE, while E. R. Thiele offers the dates 852 BCE-841 BCE. The author of "Kings" speaks of both Jehoram of Israel and Jehoram of Judah in the same passage, which can be confusing. His only known act was when he, aided by his nephew Ahaziah, king of Judah, … - Abayudaya

When the American Revolution broke out, Touro was a Loyalist, and when the British captured Newport in 1776, … - Baruch ben Neriah
Baruch ben Neriah was the scribe, disciple, secretary, and devoted friend of the Biblical prophet Jeremiah.

Baruch wrote down the first and second editions of Jeremiah's prophecies as they were dictated to him by the prophet. - Judah Kalaẓ

Nadia Abu El Haj is an assistant professor of anthropology at Barnard College and author of "Facts on the Ground: Archaeological Practice and Territorial Self-Fashioning in Israeli Society". In the book, El Haj attempts to demonstrate how "(social) science generates facts or phenomena, which refigure what counts as true or real," and concludes that the existence of the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah should be considered "a pure political fabrication." - Helena Of Adiabene
Helena was queen of Adiabene and wife of Monobaz I. With her husband she was the mother of Izates II. She died about 56 CE. Her name and the fact that she was her husband's sister indicate a Hellenistic origin. Helena became a convert to Judaism about the year 30 CE. She was noted for her generosity; during a famine at Jerusalem she sent to Alexandria for corn and to Cyprus for dried figs for distribution among the sufferers from the famine. In the Talmud, however (B.
