<p> There were several of this name in the Old Testament. Saul had a son of this name; and David a brother. (1 Chronicles 2:13.) And there was an Abinadab a Levite. The signification of the name is, my father is a prince. </p>

<p> '''''a''''' -'''''bin´a''''' -'''''dab''''' ( אבינדב , <i> ''''''ăbhı̄nādhābh''''' </i> , "father of willingness," or, "my father is willing." This is according to the ordinary usage of the second word in the name - "willing" rather than "munificent" or "noble"): </p> <p> (1) The man in whose house the men of Kiriath-jearim placed the ark, after its return from the land of the Philistines, his house being either in [[Gibeah]] of [[Benjamin]] or "in the hill" (1 Samuel 7:1; 2 Samuel 6:3 , 2 Samuel 6:4 ). To account for the ambiguity note that <i> '''''gibh'āh''''' </i> means hill, and that the place-name Gibeah ordinarily has the definite article. It is natural to think that Abinadab was himself a man of Kiriath-jearim, though the account does not explicitly say so. The record is that the men of Kiriath-jearim were summoned to take charge of the ark at a time when no one else dared to have it (1 Samuel 6:20 , 1 Samuel 6:21 ); and the implication seems to be that they had no option to refuse. Possibly this was due to their being Gibeonites, and hereditary "bondmen" of "the house of my God" (Joshua 9:17 , Joshua 9:23 ). However this may be, they "sanctified" Abinadab's son Eleazar to have charge of the ark. According to the [[Hebrew]] and some of the Greek copies, the ark was in Gibeah in the middle of the reign of King Saul (1 Samuel 14:18 ). </p> <p> About a century later, according to the [[Bible]] numbers, David went with great pomp to Kiriath-jearim, otherwise known as [[Baalah]] or Baale-judah, to bring the ark from Kiriath-jearim, out of the house of Abinadab in the hill (or, in Gibeah), and place it in [[Jerusalem]] (1 Chronicles 13:1-14; 2 Sam 6). The new cart was driven by two descendants of Abinadab. There may or may not have been another Abinadab then living, the head of the house. </p> <p> (2) The second of the eight sons of Jesse, one of the three who were in Saul's army when Goliath gave his challenge (1 Samuel 16:8; 1 Samuel 17:13; 1 Chronicles 2:13 ). </p> <p> (3) One of the sons of King Saul (1 Chronicles 8:33; 1 Chronicles 9:39; 1 Chronicles 10:2; 1 Samuel 31:2 ). He died in the battle of Gilboa, along with his father and brothers. </p> <p> (4) In 1 Kings 4:11 the King James Version has "the son of Abinadab," where the Revised Version (British and American) has [[Ben-Abinadab]] . </p>

A Levite of Kirjath-jearim, in whose house, which was on a hill [ (See [[Gibeah]]) ], the ark of the covenant was deposited, after being brought back from the land of the Philistines (1 Samuel 7:1), B.C. 1124. It was committed to the special charge of his son Eleazar; and remained there eighty years, until it was removed by David (2 Samuel 6:3-4; 1 Chronicles 13:7). (See [[Ark]]). </p> <p> 2. The second of the eight sons of Jesse, the father of David (1 Samuel 16:8; 1 Chronicles 2:13), and one of the three who followed Saul to the campaign against the Philistines in which Goliath defied the army (1 Samuel 17:13), B.C. 1063, </p> <p> 3. The third named of the four sons of King Saul (1 Chronicles 8:33; 1 Chronicles 9:39), and one of the three who perished with their father in the battle at Gilboa (1 Samuel 31:2; 1 Chronicles 10:2), B.C. 1053. His name appears to be omitted in the list in 1 Samuel 14:49. </p> <p> 4. The father of one of Solomon's purveyors (or rather BEN-ABINIDAB is to be regarded as the name of the purveyor himself), who presided over the district of Dor, and married Taphath, Solomon's daughter (1 Kings 4:11), B.C. ante 1014. </p>

<p> Abin´adab (father of nobleness, or noble father). There are several persons of this name, all of whom are also called Aminadab—the letters b and m being very frequently interchanged in Hebrew. </p> <p> Abinadab, 1 </p> <p> Abinadab, one of the eight sons of Jesse, and one of the three, who followed Saul to the war with the Philistines (1 Samuel 16:8). </p> <p> Abinadab, 2 </p> <p> Abinadab, one of Saul's sons, who was slain at the battle of Gilboa (1 Samuel 31:2). </p> <p> Abinadab, 3 </p> <p> Abinadab, the Levite of Kirjath-jearim, in whose house, which was on a hill, the Ark of the [[Covenant]] was deposited, after being brought back from the land of the Philistines.
