Meaning & History
According to Josephus' Antiquitates Judaicae XI 7:2 and 8:2, Nicaso was the name of a daughter of King Sanballat of Samaria who was given by Sanballat in a political marriage to Manasseh, brother of the high priest Jaddua. The elders of Jerusalem told him to either divorce Nicaso or revoke his priesthood, as a part of the mass divorce initiative of intermarried couples (Ezra 10:33).
