Nahum
the name means Consolation Easton's Bible Dictionary
Nahum is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Luke.
From Easton's Bible Dictionary
Consolation, the seventh of the so-called minor prophets, an Elkoshite. All we know of him is recorded in the book of his prophecies. He was probably a native of Galilee, and after the deportation of the ten tribes took up his residence in Jerusalem. Others think that Elkosh was the name of a place on the east bank of the Tigris, and that Nahum dwelt there.
