Nahash
The word nahash means "serpent" in Hebrew. Nahash may refer to
- Serpent (Bible), the serpent in the Garden of Eden
- Nahash of Ammon, a king mentioned in the Book of Samuel
- Another king of the Ammonites of the same name is mentioned, who showed kindness to David during his wanderings (2 Samuel 10:2). On his death, David sent an embassy of sympathy to Hanun, Nahash's son and successor.
- The father of David's sisters, of which one was the mother of Amasa, the commander-in-chief of Absalom's army (2 Sam. 17:25).
