Tuesday Night Trivia

Many American Presidents have had biblical first names, but only two share first names with persons from the Old Testament. Name them.

As usual, Wikipedia is not allowed. Quick note: The name "Barack" is basically the same as "Barak," the name of an Old Testament judge. But for the purposes of this trivia challenge, the extra "c" disqualifies the current president's name. Similarly, several presidents have been named "James," which is a derivative of "Jacob," an Old Testament name. Again, for the purposes of this challenge, names that are spelled differently than their Old Testament relatives do not count.
