Nagge       illuminating, one of the ancestors of Christ in the maternal       line (Luke 3:25).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Nahash       serpent. (1.) King of the Ammonites in the time of Saul. The       inhabitants of Jabesh-Gilead having been exposed to great danger       from Nahash, sent messengers to Gibeah to inform Saul of their       extremity. He promptly responded to the call, and gathering       together an army he marched against Nahash. "And it came to pass       that they which remained were scattered, so that two of them       [the Ammonites] were not left together" (1 Sam. 11:1-11).                (2.) Another king of the Ammonites of the same name is       mentioned, who showed kindness to David during his wanderings (2       Sam. 10:2). On his death David sent an embassy of sympathy to       Hanun, his son and successor, at Rabbah Ammon, his capital. The       grievous insult which was put upon these ambassadors led to a       war against the Ammonites, who, with their allies the Syrians,       were completely routed in a battle fought at "the entering in of       the gate," probably of Medeba (2 Sam. 10:6-14). Again Hadarezer       rallied the Syrian host, which was totally destroyed by the       Israelite army under Joab in a decisive battle fought at Helam       (2 Sam. 10:17), near to Hamath (1 Chr. 18:3). "So the Syrians       feared to help the children of Ammon any more" (2 Sam. 10:19).                (3.) The father of Amasa, who was commander-in-chief of       Abasolom's army (2 Sam. 17:25). Jesse's wife had apparently been       first married to this man, to whom she bore Abigail and Zeruiah,       who were thus David's sisters, but only on the mother's side (1       Chr. 2:16).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Necho II       an Egyptian king, the son and successor of Psammetichus (B.C.       610-594), the contemporary of Josiah, king of Judah. For some       reason he proclaimed war against the king of Assyria. He led       forth a powerful army and marched northward, but was met by the       king of Judah at Megiddo, who refused him a passage through his       territory. Here a fierce battle was fought and Josiah was slain       (2 Chr. 35:20-24). Possibly, as some suppose, Necho may have       brought his army by sea to some port to the north of Dor (comp.       Josh. 11:2; 12:23), a Phoenician town at no great distance from       Megiddo. After this battle Necho marched on to Carchemish       (q.v.), where he met and conquered the Assyrian army, and thus       all the Syrian provinces, including Palestine, came under his       dominion.                On his return march he deposed Jehoahaz, who had succeeded his       father Josiah, and made Eliakim, Josiah's eldest son, whose name       he changed into Jehoiakim, king. Jehoahaz he carried down into       Egypt, where he died (2 Kings 23:31; 2 Chr. 36:1-4). Four years       after this conquest Necho again marched to the Euphrates; but       here he was met and his army routed by the Chaldeans (B.C. 606)       under Nebuchadnezzar, who drove the Egyptians back, and took       from them all the territory they had conquered, from the       Euphrates unto the "river of Egypt" (Jer. 46:2; 2 Kings 24:7,       8). Soon after this Necho died, and was succeeded by his son,       Psammetichus II. (See {NEBUCHADNEZZAR}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Neck       used sometimes figuratively. To "lay down the neck" (Rom. 16:4)       is to hazard one's life. Threatenings of coming judgments are       represented by the prophets by their laying bands upon the       people's necks (Deut. 28:48; Isa. 10:27; Jer. 27:2). Conquerors       put their feet on the necks of their enemies as a sign of their       subjection (Josh. 10:24; 2 Sam. 22:41).
