BARACK could be the QUEEN and HILLARY the KING.

BARACK

Barak, also spelled Baraq, is a given name of Semitic origin. As a Hebrew name, from the root B-R-Q, it means "lightning" and it appears in the Hebrew Bible as the name of an Ancient Israelite general Barak

BIBLICAL STORY concerning BARACK..

The story of the Hebrews' defeat of the Canaanites led by Sisera, under the prophetic leadership of Deborah and the military leadership of Barak, is related in prose (Judges Chapter 4) and repeated in poetry (Chapter 5, which is known as the Song of Deborah).

Chapter 4 makes the chief enemy Jabin, king of Hazor (present Tell el-Qedah, about three miles southwest of Hula Basin), though a prominent part is played by his commander-in-chief, Sisera of Harosheth-ha-goiim (possibly Tell el-'Amr, approximately 12 miles (19 km) northwest of Megiddo).

Deborah summoned Barak, the son of Abinoam, from his home at Kedesh in Naphtali, and ordered him, in the name of YHWH, to take ten thousand men to Mount Tabor. He agreed to on condition that Deborah should go with him. Here he was attacked, as Deborah had expected, by Sisera, whose forces were put to flight, and the greater part of them were slain by Barak's army.

Because Barak would not go to battle without Deborah, the honor of victory did not go to him, but rather to "a woman" (Judges 4:9). Most authorities believe this passage refers to Jael's killing of Sisera in her tent following the battle, while others believe this refers to Deborah herself.
