Queen Naamah was an Ammonite, wife of King Solomon (r. 971-931 BC) and mother of King Rehoboam (r. 931-913 BC).
Lot, son of Haran, nephew of Abraham, was the ancestor of the Ammonites.
His younger daughter gave birth to their child and named him Ben-’Ammī, the patriarch of the Ammonites.
Lot had two sisters, Milcah and Iscah.
Abraham (Abram) was the son of Terah a descendant of Shem. He had two brothers, Nahor and Haran.
King Solomon, the son of King David (r. 1011-971 BC) and Bathsheba, reigned over the entire Kingdom of Israel.
Solomon had many wives, aside from Naamah. One was the daughter of Egypt’s pharaoh, whom he married as part of an alliance. He brought her to live in the City of David until he could finish building his palace and the Temple of the Lord and the wall around the city.
Solomon also had a son with Makeda, queen of Sheba, the ruler of the ancient Axumite Kingdom, a trading nation in the area of northern Ethiopia and Eritrea.
When King Solomon died, he was buried in the City of David, named for his father. Then his son Rehoboam (r. 931-913 BC), whose mother is Naamah, became king of the Kingdom of Judah.
Shortly after the division of the Kingdom of Israel, Pharaoh Shoshenq/Shishak’s (r. 945-924 BC), campaigned against the Israelites, the Ammonites declared their independence from the kingdoms of Israel and Judah.
