Cool Biblical names needed

Good question, Yair. For the most part, the story of the other barons is being left a blank slate for filling in later on, but I know that a previous baron had a magical greatsword he called "Headsman," because he used it to enforce Imperial law during a particularly lawless period.

Other barons/baronesses I know already:

1st baron of Midwood - Gideon, a knight given an undesirable fief. (It had a green dragon next door!)

7th baron of Midwood - The current baron's father, groomed his son to take over, but the son was killed in a landslide before that could happen. He died elderly and heartbroken.

8th baroness of Midwood - The middle child of the 7th baron's three children, she had joined the church when it looked like her brother would take over the succeed. Picture a golden-haired warrior cleric. She died fighting a humanoid invasion during a particularly brutal winter and was shot and killed by a poisoned crossbow bolt magically treated to prevent divine healing.

9th baron of Midwood - Nicodemus Midwood was the child who was never supposed to be the baron, and instead became a scholar and diviner more interested in hunting in the Hartwood than statesmanship. Thrust into the situation, though, he has done the best he can, and is a good man in an increasingly precarious position.

Hmm. Rodan means tyrant, Chok (or Hok) means law. Tzedek is justice. Tzindkiyahu, the justice of god, is one. Yesharoz, meaning straight (i.e. honest, just) power. Shochet is a slayer (or butcher). Ose Mishpat is "one who does justice/judges".

7th baron of Midwood - The current baron's father, groomed his son to take over, but the son was killed in a landslide before that could happen. He died elderly and heartbroken.
Remez is clue. Ot is sign. Basis is foundation. Ot Labaot is "a sign for things to come". Shivaryah or Sheveryah is "broken by god", kind of.

8th baroness of Midwood - The middle child of the 7th baron's three children, she had joined the church when it looked like her brother would take over the succeed.

Giborat Chail is heroine of arms. Kadesha is a priestess, but with prostitude overtones so might not fit. Minchatya is offering to god. Ezratya is an aid to god. Elmagen is god shields (verb).

You can twist and turn them to get them to sound more English-biblical. To give you a clue, you got from eli-yahu to Elija, so names can strtch quite a bit :)
