Biblical and feminine?

Out of curiosity, can anyone think of any Biblical female names? The only one I can think of offhand is Esther. Thanks for any help!

Hepzibah
Keziah
Sara
Rachel
Delilah
Eve / Eva
? Agnes
Abigail
Leah
Rebecca
? Tabitha
Magdalene
Martha

Those are all the ones which I can place where they definitely come from, as opposed to being associated with the bible, eg Christian, or a feminisation eg Joanna, Michelle etc.

Technically, Magdalene is not so much a name as an indication of where Mary was from. Mary of Magdala = Mary Magdalene.

Also, I don't remember an Agnes in the Bible. She's a later saint.
