Zabad:

(gift).

(1.) Son of Nathan son of Attai, son of Ahlai Sheshan's daughter (1 Chronicles 2:31-37) and hence called son of Ahlai (1 Chronicles 11:41). (B.C. 1046) He was one of David's mighty men but none of his deeds have been recorded. The chief interest connected with him is in his genealogy, which is of considerable importance in a chronological point of view.

(2.) An Ephraimite, if the text of 1 Chronicles 7:21 is correct.

(3.) Son of Shimeath, an Ammonitess; an assassin who, with Jehozabad, slew King Joash, according to 2 Chronicles 24:26, (B.C. 840); but in 2 Kings 12:21, his name is written, probably more correctly, JOZACHAR.

(4.) A layman of Israel, of the sons of Zattu, who put away his foreign wife at Ezra's command (Ezra 10:27). (B.C. 458)

(5.) One of the descendants of Hashum who had married a foreign wife after the captivity (Ezra 10:33). (B.C. 458)
