Mattan
(Heb. Mattan’, , a gift, as in Gen 34:12, etc.), the name of two men in the Old Testament and one in the New. SEE MITHNITE.
1. (Sept. , v. r. and .) The priest of Baal slain before his idolatrous altar during the reformation instituted by Jehoiada (2Ki 11:18; 2Ch 23:17). B.C. 876. He probably accompanied Athaliah from Samaria, and would thus be the first priest of the Baal-worship which Jehoram, king of Judah, following the steps of his father-in-law Ahab, established at Jerusalem (2Ch 21:6; 2Ch 21:13). Josephus (Ant. 9:7, 3) calls him (Smith).
2. (Sept. v. r. .) The father of the Shephatiah who was one of the nobles that charged Jeremiah with treason (Jer 38:1). B.C. ante 589.
3. (, Auth.Vers. Matthan.) The son of Eleazar and father of Jacob, which last was father of Joseph, the husband of the Virgin Mary (Mat 1:15). According to tradition he was a priest (which disagrees with his tribal descent), and father of Anna, the mother of the same Mary (Niceph. Hist. Ev. 2:3). B.C. considerably ante 40.
