Spouses in Tanach whose names start with the same letter?



This is one of those parsha sheet trivia questions: There are six couples in Tanach where the names of the spouses start with the same letter. Who are they?


I've got five of them, but I can't think of the sixth. Any help?



  1. אחאב & איזבל


  2. אחשורוש & אסתר

  3. עשו & עדה (Genesis 36:10)

  4. אהרון & אלישבע (Exodus 6:23)

  5. נח & נעמה (According to Midrash, quoted by Rashi on Genesis 4:22)



Answer



עתניאל בן קנז ועכסה בת כלב — see Judges 1:13


EDIT: I found some more:


יואש מלך יהודה ויהועדן - See Kings II 14:2


אחז מלך יהודה ואבי בת-זכריה - See Kings II 18:2



חזקיהו מלך יהודה וחפצי-בה - See Kings II 21:1


מנשה מלך יהודה ומשלמת בת חרוץ - See Kings II 21:19
