From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Rachal
      traffic, a town in the tribe of Judah, to which David sent
      presents from the spoils of his enemies (1 Sam. 30:29).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Rachel
      ewe, "the daughter", "the somewhat petulant, peevish, and
      self-willed though beautiful younger daughter" of Laban, and one
      of Jacob's wives (Gen. 29:6, 28). He served Laban fourteen years
      for her, so deep was Jacob's affection for her. She was the
      mother of Joseph (Gen. 30:22-24). Afterwards, on Jacob's
      departure from Mesopotamia, she took with her her father's
      teraphim (31:34, 35). As they journeyed on from Bethel, Rachel
      died in giving birth to Benjamin (35:18, 19), and was buried "in
      the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem. And Jacob set a pillar
      upon her grave". Her sepulchre is still regarded with great
      veneration by the Jews. Its traditional site is about half a
      mile from Jerusalem.
     
         This name is used poetically by Jeremiah (31:15-17) to denote
      God's people mourning under their calamities. This passage is
      also quoted by Matthew as fulfilled in the lamentation at
      Bethlehem on account of the slaughter of the infants there at
      the command of Herod (Matt. 2:17, 18).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Raguel
      friend of God, (Num. 10:29)=Reuel (q.v.), Ex. 2:18, the
      father-in-law of Moses, and probably identical with Jethro
      (q.v.).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Rachal, to whisper; an embalmer
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Rachel, sheep
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
