'''King Nadab''' of [[Northern Kingdom|Israel]] ([[Hebrew]]: "liberal, generous") (r. 954-953 BC according to [[James Ussher|Ussher]],<ref name=Ussher>[[James Ussher]], ''[[The Annals of the World]]'', [[Larry Pierce]], ed., Green Forest, AR: Master Books, 2003 (ISBN 0890513600), pghh. 491-492</ref> or 909-908 BC according to [[Edwin R. Thiele|Thiele]]<ref name=Wood>Leon J. Wood, ''A Survey of Israel's History'', rev. ed. David O'Brien, Grand Rapids, MI: Academie Books, 1986 (ISBN 031034770X), p. 260</ref>) was the second king of the Northern Kingdom and the son and successor of [[Jeroboam I]]. His reign is one of the shorter reigns of the troubled Northern Kingdom.<ref>{{Bible ref|book=I_Kings|chap=15|verses=25-31}}</ref>
== Early life ==
The author of [[I Kings]] says very little of Nadab's early life, beyond identifying his father, [[Jeroboam I]]. He might have been named after an earlier [[Nadab]], eldest son of [[Aaron]]. If so, then that naming was most ominous indeed, for the earlier Nadab died after kindling the anger of [[God]] against him by worshiping God improperly.
== The Siege of Gibbethon ==
In the second and last year of his reign, Nadab laid siege to [[Gibbethon]], a [[Philistia|Philistine]] town. During this time, one of his ranking generals, named [[Baasha]], made a conspiracy against him and killed him. Moreover, Baasha completely destroyed every member of Nadab's and Jeroboam's families, as the prophet [[Ahijah the Shilonite]] had predicted.<ref name=WebBible>Authors unknown.
