Yes, Names can sometimes give you a deeper or even new understanding of a verse or its meaning. God often changed peoples names to mean something else when they accomplished certain things or were given blessings, or changed their missions in life. God uses names to reflect the character of certain people. The Study of names especially Hebrew names is a whole area of study itself. Some examplesAbram Named was changed to Abraham because Abraham means Abraham: Father of a -Multitude (God promised his descendants would be as numerous as the stars) Israel: = He Will Rule As God Lo-ammi: = Not My- People name was changed to Ammi = of my people

So now both Judah and Israel are both removed from off their land and taken off to foreign lands. This bunch of people that were killed at Riblah were those that ran from the prior battle, cowards and misfits, and they were done away with.Remember that all through these three sieges, Jeremiah, Isaiah and many other prophets of God were telling the people of Judah that God expects us to go into captivity because of the sins of our forefathers. That captivity would be for a seventy year period, and then they would be set free.Jeremiah 25:11 "And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years."Jeremiah 25:12 "And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations." Sure those taken into capivity will be dead and gone, but their children will return to rebuild the Temple and the walls and streets of Jerusalem.There were are few working poor left ll Kings25:12But the point that is important here is this that God put a time limit on their captivity 70 years. Then they were to be set free. To return and rebuildwhich they did...... Jews is a term the applies to the tribe of Judah (with Levi and few Benjamites straglers and some others included See Rev. 2 & 3 Jews who say they are Jews but are not) Israel applies to the other ten tribes.The southern part of Israel was given to Judah (w/Levi) the northern part divided among the other ten tribes.Todays Jews are this same Judah w/Levi and others described above The Northern ten tribes Israel the remnant traveled over the Caucasus Mt. into Scotland within 100 years after Christ death on the cross they scattered across Briton, England, and eventually to America and around the world and became known as the ten Lost tribes. Im not clear on your question about linage of Christ but you will find it under the linage of Mary (Elizabeth mother of John the Baptist was her (marys) cousin. remember when Mary went to visit Elizabeth she was carrying John and he lept within her womb )

Heres a side study on the Stone called Jabobs pilliar(Pillow) (Stone of Scone)The coronation stone which sat in Westminster Abbey, England, is the coronation stone of the Hebrew nation called Israelites. This stone was named Beth-el (house of God) by the patriarch Israel (sometimes called Jacob) roughly 2000 BC and remained with his descendents. It travelled with them for forty years in the wilderness, supplying their water, and was preserved and brought to Ireland in 583 BC by the prophet Jeremiah; eventually being transferred to Scotland, then England, and now resides in Scotland._______________STONE HISTORYIn 1950 BC a man lays his head on a rock, has a dream of God, and calls the rock "House of God." His family carries that rock around for the next 38 centuries. It becomes their symbolic throne, their water supply, the type of their coming Deliverer, their coronation symbol, and it even roars when the proper king is crowned.Gen 28:10-14 Jacob puts his pillows on a rock, dreams of a ladder to heaven. Gen 28:18-22 He sets up the rock for a pillar (of witness), annoints it with oil, naming it "Beth-el"; Jacob also names the place Beth-el (House of God) Gen 31:13 God validates Jacob's "Bethel" name and annointing. Gen 35:9-15 Jacob's name is changed to Israel, God reconfirms His promises, Jacob again annoints and names the place Bethel. Gen 49:24 The Stone of Israel (Jacob); the Shepherd is passed on to Joseph Josh 24:24-27 Joshua sets up the Stone at Shechem for a witness. I Kin 12:1 Rehoboam goes to Shechem (in Ephraim) to be crowned king of Judah. I Kin 12:25 Shechem is established as the capitol of the kingdom of Israel. II Kin 11:13-14( II Chr 23:13) Joash is crowned by a pillar, "as the manner was." II Kin 23:3(II Chr 34:31) Josiah's covenant by a pillar. Jud 9:1,6 Abimelech is Gideon's son; he is crowned by the pillar at Shechem. Hos 3:4 Israel is to be without a standing pillar.
