Aaron's eldest son. He and his brother Abihu offered unauthorised fire before the Lord and were struck dead.

Who this is

At least five people in the Bible and its associated writings are called Nadab. The priest is the one most people mean: Aaron's eldest son, struck dead alongside his brother Abihu for offering unauthorized fire before the Lord. A king by the same name ruled northern Israel for two years before Baasha assassinated him and wiped out his family. A third Nadab was Saul's uncle, a fourth appears only in a genealogy of Judah as the son of Shammai, and a fifth, a relative of the Ahikar of the book of Tobit, belongs to the Second Temple literature rather than the Hebrew Bible.
