Is there anywhere in Tanach where brothers-in-law have the same name?

Either two sisters married men with the same name, or a woman married someone with the same name as her brother.

There is a situation like this in my family and I am looking for parallels in Tanach.

This question appears to be off-topic because it is a riddle. See this meta post. Try including some motivation behind the question to make it a better fit for Mi Yodeya.

@DoubleAA Is curiosity a good enough motive?

@DoubleAA Huh? By that logic, every question is a riddle.

@DoubleAA There is a situation like this in my family and I am looking for parallels in Tanach, that is my motivation. But that shouldn't matter - it doesn't really add to the question.

@Imray, your motivation definitely adds something to the question. First of all, in clarifying that this is not a riddle, you've made it clear that you don't know that such a situation exists. (Your question would be clear enough on this point, except that the type of question it is made it look like a "I know the answer - do you?" riddle.) Also, if people know what you want this information for, it makes it easier for them to determine what kinds of detail to include in their answers and which edge cases may be close enough to be useful. I suggest adding even more on why you want this.
