From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Naked
      This word denotes (1) absolute nakedness (Gen. 2:25; Job 1:21;
      Eccl. 5:15; Micah 1:8; Amos 2:16); (2) being poorly clad (Isa.
      58:7; James 2:15). It denotes also (3) the state of one who has
      laid aside his loose outer garment (Lat. nudus), and appears
      clothed only in a long tunic or under robe worn next the skin (1
      Sam. 19:24; Isa. 47:3; comp. Mark 14:52; John 21:7). It is used
      figuratively, meaning "being discovered" or "made manifest" (Job
      26:6; Heb. 4:13). In Ex. 32:25 the expression "the people were
      naked" (A.V.) is more correctly rendered in the Revised Version
      "the people were broken loose", i.e., had fallen into a state of
      lawlessness and insubordination. In 2 Chr. 28:19 the words "he
      made Judah naked" (A.V.), but Revised Version "he had dealt
      wantonly in Judah," mean "he had permitted Judah to break loose
      from all the restraints of religion."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Nehushta
      copper, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem, and the wife of
      Jehoiakin (2 Kings 24:8), king of Judah.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Nehushta, made of brass
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Nekoda, painted; inconstant
