Abinadab
a-bina-dab (, ‘abhnadhabh, father of willingness, or, my father is willing. This is according to the ordinary usage of the second word in the name – willing rather than munificent or noble):
(1) The man in whose house the men of Kiriath-jearim placed the ark, after its return from the land of the Philistines, his house being either in Gibeah of Benjamin or in the hill (1Sa 7:1; 2Sa 6:3, 2Sa 6:4). To account for the ambiguity note that gibh’ah means hill, and that the place-name Gibeah ordinarily has the definite article. It is natural to think that Abinadab was himself a man of Kiriath-jearim, though the account does not explicitly say so. The record is that the men of Kiriath-jearim were summoned to take charge of the ark at a time when no one else dared to have it (1Sa 6:20, 1Sa 6:21); and the implication seems to be that they had no option to refuse. Possibly this was due to their being Gibeonites, and hereditary bondmen of the house of my God (Jos 9:17, Jos 9:23). However this may be, they sanctified Abinadab’s son Eleazar to have charge of the ark. According to the Hebrew and some of the Greek copies, the ark was in Gibeah in the middle of the reign of King Saul (1Sa 14:18).
About a century later, according to the Bible numbers, David went with great pomp to Kiriath-jearim, otherwise known as Baalah or Baale-judah, to bring the ark from Kiriath-jearim, out of the house of Abinadab in the hill (or, in Gibeah), and place it in Jerusalem (1Ch 13:1-14; 2 Sam 6). The new cart was driven by two descendants of Abinadab. There may or may not have been another Abinadab then living, the head of the house.
(2) The second of the eight sons of Jesse, one of the three who were in Saul’s army when Goliath gave his challenge (1Sa 16:8; 1Sa 17:13; 1Ch 2:13).
(3) One of the sons of King Saul (1Ch 8:33; 1Ch 9:39; 1Ch 10:2; 1Sa 31:2). He died in the battle of Gilboa, along with his father and brothers.
(4) In 1Ki 4:11 the King James Version has the son of Abinadab, where the Revised Version (British and American) has BEN-ABINADAB.
