| <p> ("willing".) </p> <p> 1. Aaron's oldest son by [[Elisheba]] (Exodus 6:23; Numbers 3:2). With [[Aaron]] and [[Abihu]] and 70 elders he had the privilege of nearer access to [[Jehovah]] at [[Sinai]] than the mass of the people, but not so near as [[Moses]] (Exodus 24:1). [[Struck]] dead for kindling (probably under intoxication) the incense with "strange fire," not taken from the perpetual fire on the altar (Leviticus 6:13; Leviticus 10:1-10). (See AARON; ABIHU.) </p> <p> 2. Jeroboam's son, who walked in his father's evil way; reigned two years, 954-952 B.C. (1 Kings 25:25-31). Slain, in fulfilment of [[Ahijah]] the Shilonite's prophecy, by the conspirator Baasha, while besieging [[Gibbethon]] of [[Dan]] (Joshua 19:44; Joshua 21:23). [[Probably]] the neighbouring [[Philistines]] had seized Gibbethon when the [[Levites]] generally left it, to escape from Jeroboam's apostasy to Judah. By a retributive coincidence it was when [[Israel]] was besieging Gibbethon, 24 years after, that the same destruction fell on Baasha's family as [[Baasha]] had inflicted on [[Nadab]] (1 Kings 16:9-15). </p> <p> 3. 1 Chronicles 2:28. </p> <p> 4. 1 Chronicles 8:30; 1 Chronicles 9:36. </p> | | == References == |

He, his father and brother, and seventy old men of [[Israel]] were led out, from the midst of the assembled people, Exodus 24:1, and were commended to stay and worship [[God]] "afar off," below the lofty summit of Sinai, where [[Moses]] alone was to come near to the Lord. </p> <p> Subsequently, Leviticus 10:1, [[Nadab]] and his brother were struck dead, before the sanctuary, by fire from the Lord.

King Jeroboam's son, who succeeded to the throne of Israel, B.C. 954, and reigned two years. 1 Kings 15:25-31.

| <p> son of Aaron, and brother to Abihu. He offered incense to the Lord with strange fire, that is, with common fire, and not with that which had been miraculously lighted upon the altar, of burnt-offerings. Therefore, he was slam by the Lord, together with his brother Abihu, Leviticus 10:1 , &c. </p>

| <p> (Heb. Nadab', נָדָב , liberal [see Simonis Onome. V.T. page 409]; Sept. Ναδάβ ), the name of four men. </p> <p> 1. (Josephus, Νάβαδος , Ant. 3:8,1 and 7.) The eldest (Exodus 6:23; Numbers 3:2) of the four sons of [[Aaron]] by Elisheba, who were anointed, with their father, to be priests of [[Jehovah]] (Exodus 28:1). B.C. 1657. He, his father and brother, and seventy old men of Israel, were led out from the midst of the assembled people (Exodus 24:1), and were commanded to stay and worship [[God]] "afar off," below the lofty summit of Sinai, where [[Moses]] alone was to come near to the Lord. Subsequently he, with his brother Abihu, offered incense with strange or common fire to the Lord, instead of that which had been miraculously kindled and was perpetually kept burning upon the altar of burnt offerings; and they were immediately consumed by a fire from the presence of God (Leviticus 10:1-2; Numbers 3:4; Numbers 26:61). They left no children (1 Chronicles 24:2). From the injunction given (Leviticus 10:9-10) immediately after their death, it has been inferred (Rosenmuller, ad loc.) that the brothers were in a state of intoxication when thev committed the offence. The spiritual meaning of the injunction is drawn out at great length by Origen, Hom. 7, in Levit. On this occasion, as if to mark more decidedly the divine displeasure with the offenders, Aaron and his surviving son were forbidden to go through the ordinary outward ceremonial of mourning for the dead. See J. D. Frobosen, Gedanken v. d. Sunde Nadabs u. Obihu, in the Brem. u. Verd. Bibl. 1:4. page 159 sq.; J. Medhurst, in the Bibl. Hffgan. 4:70-76; Bp. Hall, Contemplations, ad loc.; Saurin, Discour. Historiques, 2:354; Dissert. page 531; A. Littleton, Sermons, page 303; J. Dickson, Discourses, page 183; C. Simeon, Works, 1:613; R.P. Buddicom, [[Christian]] Exodus, 2:1. (See [[Abihu]]). </p> <p> 2. (Josephus, Νάδαβος , Ant. 8:11, 4.) [[Son]] and successor of [[Jeroboam]] on the throne of [[Israel]] (1 Kings 14:20). B.C. 951. He followed the deep- laid but criminal and dangerous policy of his father (15:26). In the latter part of his reign, "Gibbethon, in the territory of [[Dan]] (Joshua 19:44), a [[Levitical]] town (21:23), was occupied by the Philistines, perhaps having been deserted by its lawful possessors in the general self-exile of the [[Levites]] from the polluted territory of Jeroboam. [[Nadab]] and all Israel went up and laid siege to this frontier town. A conspiracy broke out in the midst of the army, and the king was slain by Baasha, a man of Issachar. Abijah's prophecy (1 Kings 14:10) was literally fulfilled by the murderer, who proceeded to destroy the whole house of Jeroboam. So perished the first [[Israelitish]] dynasty. We are not told what events led to the siege of Gibbethon, or how it ended, or any other incident in Nadab's short reign. It does not appear what ground Ewald and Newman have for describing the war with the [[Philistines]] as unsuccessful. It is remarkable that when a similar destruction fell upon the family of the murderer [[Baasha]] twenty-four years afterwards, the Israelitish army was again engaged in a siege of [[Gibbethon]] (1 Kings 16:15)." (See Cibbethon). In 1 Kings 15:25 Nadab is assigned a reign of two years, but a comparison of the connected events and dates show that it lasted little, if any, over one year; so that the reckoning must have been made out by the usual proleptic method, which computed the years as begilnning at the normal point of the [[Jewish]] calendar, i.e., the 1st of [[Nisan]] preceding. (See [[Chronology]]). </p> <p> 3. The first named of the two sons of Shammai, in the tribe of Judah, and the father of two sons (1 Chronicles 2:28; 1 Chronicles 2:30). B.C. post 1618. </p> <p> 4. The fifth named of the eight sons of Jehiel, "the father [founder] of Gibeon;" a [[Benjamite]] of [[Gibeon]] (1 Chronicles 8:30; 1 Chronicles 9:36). B.C. perhaps cir. 1013. </p>

| <p> ''''' nā´dab ''''' ( דנדב , <i> ''''' nādhābh ''''' </i> , "noble"; Ναδάβ , Nadab): </p> <p> (1) Aaron's first-born son (Exodus 6:23; Numbers 3:2; Numbers 26:60; 1 Chronicles 6:3 (5:29 in Heb); 1 Chronicles 24:1 ). He was permitted with Moses, Aaron, the 70 elders, and his brother [[Abihu]] to ascend Mt. [[Sinai]] and behold the [[God]] of [[Israel]] Exodus 24:1 , Exodus 24:9 . He was associated with his father and brothers in the priestly office Exodus 28:1 . [[Along]] with Abihu he was guilty of offering "strange fire," and both "died before Yahweh" Leviticus 10:1-2; Numbers 3:4; Numbers 26:61 . The nature of their offence is far from clear. The word rendered "strange" seems in this connection to mean no more than "unauthorized by the Law" (see זוּר , <i> '''''zūr''''' </i> , in <i> Brown, Driver, and Briggs, [[Hebrew]] and English Lexicon of the Old [[Testament]] </i> , and compare Exodus 30:9 ). The proximity of the prohibition of wine to officiating priests Leviticus 10:8-9 has given rise to the erroneous suggestion of the [[Midrash]] that the offence of the brothers was drunkenness. </p> <p> (2) A descendant of [[Jerahmeel]] 1 Chronicles 2:28 , 1 Chronicles 2:30 . </p> <p> (3) A G ibeonite 1 Chronicles 8:30 . </p> <p> (4) [[Son]] of [[Jeroboam]] I and after him for two years king of Israel 1 Kings 14:20; 1 Kings 15:25 . While [[Nadab]] was investing Gibbethon, a [[Philistine]] stronghold, Baasha, who probably was an officer in the army, as throne-robbers usually were, conspired against him, slew him and seized the throne 1 Kings 15:27-31 . With the assassination of Nadab the dynasty of Jeroboam was extirpated, as foretold by the prophet [[Ahijah]] 1 [[Kin]] 14. This event is typical of the entire history of the [[Northern]] Kingdom, characterized by revolutions and counter-revolutions. </p>
