This placement in the genealogy highlights the importance of family lineage in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of the Davidic line, which is central to the history of Israel and the messianic prophecies. The name Nethanel means "God has given," reflecting a common practice in Hebrew culture of naming children with meanings that express gratitude or divine intervention. While Nethanel himself is not a prominent figure in biblical stories, his inclusion in the genealogy underscores the significance of each member in the lineage leading to David, and ultimately to Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the "Son of David" in the New Testament (<a href="/matthew/1.htm">Matthew 1:1</a>).<p><b>Raddai fifth</b><br>Raddai is the fifth son of Jesse. His name, which means "trampling" or "subduing," may reflect characteristics valued in the culture of ancient Israel, such as strength and the ability to overcome adversaries. Although Raddai does not play a major role in the biblical narrative, his mention in the genealogy serves to complete the picture of Jesse's family, from which David, the future king, would emerge. This genealogy is crucial for understanding the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel, as it traces the lineage through which the Messiah would come. The emphasis on genealogies in the Bible often points to the fulfillment of God's covenantal promises, as seen in the genealogies of Jesus in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, which trace His lineage back to David and Abraham, affirming His rightful place as the promised Savior.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/n/nethanel.htm">Nethanel</a></b><br>The fourth son of Jesse, mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah.
