Zabad

From Textus Receptus

Zabad is the name of seven men in the Hebrew Bible. Zabad means gift or endowment.

In 1 Chronicles 2:36-37, Zabad is a member of the Tribe of Judah, the family of Hezron and the house of Jahahmeel. He was the son of Nathan and the father of Ephlal.
In 1 Chronicles 7:21, Zabad is an Ephraimite of the family of Shuthelah. He was the son of Tanath and the father of Suthelah.
In 1 Chronicles 11:41, Zabad is one of King David's mighty men. He is the son of Ahlai.
In 2 Chronicles 24:26, Zabad is one of two servants of King Joash who kill him in his bed. He is the son of Shimeath, an Amonite woman. In 2 Kings 12:21 this same man seems to be called Jozachar (Hebrew: יוֹזָכָר‎; Latin: Josachar). His fellow conspirator is Jehozabad (Hebrew: יהוֹזָבָד‎; Latin: Jozabad), the son of Shomer (Hebrew: שֹׁמֵר‎; Latin: Somer).
In Ezra 10:27,33,34, three men named Zabad are listed as having taken foreign wives, whom Ezra persuades them to send away.^[1]

Fausset's Bible Dictionary

Contracted from Zebadijah, "Jehovah hath given him." 1. Son of Nathan, great grandson of Ahlai, Sheshun's daughter (1Ch_2:31-37). See Smith's Dict. in proof that this genealogy ends in the time of Hezekiah. "Son" means great grandson "of Ahlai" (1Ch_11:41). One of David's mighty men. Sheshan married an Egyptian husband, Jarha; of her as being the Israelite parent Zabad is called "the son," i.e. descendant, just as Joab, Abishai, and Asahel, are called from the mother's side sons of Zeruiah, who married a foreigner. 2. An Ephraimite (1Ch_7:21). 3. A domestic palace servant of king Joash, one of the slayers of Joash; son of Shimeath an Ammonitess (2Ch_24:26). Jozachar in 2Ki_12:20-21; Zachar is the abbreviation, and Zabad is a transcriber's error for Zachar! One of a powerful conspiracy stirred up by Joash's unpopularity owing to his idolatries, oppression, and foreign disasters (2 Chronicles 24). Amaziah executed him, but not his children (2Ch_25:3-4; Deu_24:16). 4. Son of Zattu; put away his foreign wife (Ezr_10:27). 5. Descendant of Hashum; did the same (Ezr_10:33). 6.

Smith's bible Dictionary

Za'bad. (gift). 1. Son of Nathan, son of Attai, son of Ahlai, Sheshan's daughter, 1Ch_2:31-37, and hence, called son of Ahlai. 1Ch_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 1Ch_7:21 is correct. 3. Son of Shimeath, an Ammonitess; an assassin who, with Jehozabad, slew King Joash, according to 2Ch_24:26. (B.C. 840); but in 2Ki_12:21, his name is written, probably more correctly, as Jozachar. 4. A layman of Israel, of the sons of Zattu, who put away his foreign wife at Ezra's command. Ezr_10:27. (B.C. 458). 5. One of the descendants of Hashum who had married a foreign wife after the captivity. Ezr_10:33. (B.C. 458). 6.
