Nadab

About Nadab Written by AI

Nadab is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 8:30 and 1 Chronicles 9:36 as one of the sons of Abiel, a descendant of Benjamin. These references appear in genealogical records that trace the lineage of the tribe of Benjamin, providing insight into the family lines within the tribe. In both passages, Nadab is listed alongside his brothers Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Gedor, Ahio, Zechariah, and Mikloth as the sons of Abiel (1 Chronicles 8:30). Abiel, also known as Jeiel, is identified as the father of this family and is described as living in Gibeon, a city within the territory of Benjamin (1 Chronicles 9:35). The repetition of Nadab's name in both 1Chronicles 8 and 9 reinforces the significance of these genealogical records in the chronicler's account of Israel's history.

This entry is on the name Nadab, and may cover more than one person or place by that name.

Liberal, generous. (1.) The eldest of Aaron’s four sons (Ex. 6:23; Num. 3:2). He with his brothers and their father were consecrated as priests of Jehovah (Ex. 28:1). He afterwards perished with Abihu for the sin of offering strange fire on the altar of burnt-offering (Lev. 10:1,2; Num. 3:4; 26:60).

(2.) The son and successor of Jeroboam, the king of Israel (1 Kings 14:20). While engaged with all Israel in laying siege to Gibbethon, a town of southern Dan (Josh. 19:44), a conspiracy broke out in his army, and he was slain by Baasha (1 Kings 15:25-28), after a reign of two years (B.C. 955-953). The assassination of Nadab was followed by that of his whole house, and thus this great Ephraimite family became extinct (1 Kings 15:29).
