Nehushta is a minor biblical character. From the book of 2nd Kings we learn that she is the wife of King Jehoiakim and daughter of Elnathan ben Achbor. She was also the mother of King Jehoiachin. Jehoiakim (he whom Jehovah has set up, Hebrew language: יהוֹיָקִי×) was the son of Josiah by Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah, and king of Judah. ... Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin, Joachin, and Coniah) was king of Judah. ...
Reference: 2Ki 24:8 - Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
Nehushta (or ‘Nou’ for short), is of chiefly Arab blood, and from the Libyan coast, from which she was kidnapped as a girl by Jewish slavers.
On the instructions of Rachel, Nehushta travels to the village of the Essenes, in the valley of the Jordan, where lives Ithiel the Essene, (great-)uncle of Miriam, brother to Miriam wife of Benoni.
Marcus and Nehushta learn that Miriam is in Rome, and persuade the council of the Essenes – including the aged Ithiel, who is on his deathbed – to allow Marcus to depart to rescue Miriam by bidding for her at auction.
