Nadab:
liberal, generous. (1.) The eldest of Aaron's four sons (Exd 6:23; Num 3:2). He with his brothers and their father were consecrated as priests of Jehovah (Exd 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 (1Ki 14:20). While engaged with all Israel in laying siege to Gibbethon, a town of southern Dan (Jos 19:44), a conspiracy broke out in his army, and he was slain by Baasha (1Ki 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 (1Ki 15:29).
(3.) One of the sons of Shammai in the tribe of Judah (1Ch 2:28,30).
