Overview
Scripture mentions two women named Naamah. The first was the daughter of Lamech and sister of Tubal-cain, representing the line of Cain in pre-flood civilization (Genesis 4:22). The second was an Ammonite woman who became the mother of King Rehoboam and grandmother of King Abijah, playing a significant role in Judah's royal lineage during the divided kingdom period.
