David was the second anointed king of Israel, Elah was king of Israel when Hezekiah was king of Judah and Tiglath-Pileser was a king of Assyria.

Answer: Rehoboam

1 Kings 11:42,43 "Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years. Then he rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of David his father. And Rehoboam his son succeeded him as king." (New International Version). Solomon took many foreign wives and they led him astray.

The other names are of men involved in the building of Solomon's Temple. Hiram was king of Tyre and provided the cedars of Lebanon, Adoniram was in charge of the forced labour and Huram did bronze work.

Answer: Naamah

1 Kings 14:21 "Rehoboam son of Solomon was king in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his Name. His mother's name was Naamah; she was an Ammonite." (New International Version). Maacah was the mother of Abijah who was a king of Judah that reigned in Jerusalem for three years, Bathsheba was Solomon's mother and therefore Rehoboam's grandmother and Azubah was the mother of Jehoshaphat who reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years.

Answer: Kish

1 Sam 9:1,2 "There was a Benjamite, a man of standing, whose name was Kish son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin. He had a son named Saul, an impressive young man without equal among the Israelites-a head taller than any of the others." (New International Version). Abiel, Zeror and Becorath were all ancestors of Saul.

Answer: Cush

Genesis 10:8 "Cush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth." (New International Version). Mizraim, Put and Canaan were brothers of Cush and therefore uncles of Nimrod.

Genesis 5: 28,29 "When Lamech had lived 182 years, he had a son. He named him Noah and said, 'He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the LORD has cursed.'" (New International Version). Shem, Ham and Japheth were Noah's sons.

Answer: Elkanah and Hannah

Samuel was the judge who anointed Saul. 1 Samuel 10:1 "Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on Saul's head and kissed him, saying, 'Has not the LORD anointed you leader over his inheritance?'"(New International Version). Samuel's mother, Hannah, was barren for many years before the Lord answered her prayers for a child. 1 Samuel 1:19-20 "Early the next morning they arose and worshiped before the LORD and then went back to their home at Ramah. Elkanah lay with Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her. So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son.

She named him Samuel, saying, 'Because I asked the LORD for him.'"(New International Version).

Answer: Remaliah

2 Kings 15:25 "One of his chief officers, Pekah son of Remaliah, conspired against him. Taking fifty men of Gilead with him, he assassinated Pekahiah, along with Argob and Arieh, in the citadel of the royal palace at Samaria. So Pekah killed Pekahiah and succeeded him as king." (New International Version). Pekahiah was the king that Pekah conspired against, Menahem was Pekahiah's father and Azariah was king of Judah at this time.
