Nadab of Israel
From Free net encyclopedia
Nadab was the son and successor of Jeroboam, the king of Israel (1 Kings 14:20). William F. Albright has dated his reign to 901 BC-900 BC, while E. R. Thiele offers the dates 910 BC-909 BC. While engaged with his army in besieging Gibbethon, a town of southern Dan (Joshua 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. The assassination of Nadab was followed by that of his whole house, and so this great Ephraimite family became extinct (1 Kings 15:29).
