After the Ark was returned by the Philistines, it was brought to the house of Abinadab in Kirjath-jearim, where it remained for many years. Abinadab's son, Eleazar, was consecrated to guard the Ark. This event is recorded in <a href="/1_samuel/7.htm">1 Samuel 7:1</a>: "Then the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took up the ark of the LORD. They brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill and consecrated Eleazar his son to guard the ark of the LORD."<br><br>2. <b>Abinadab, Son of Jesse:</b> Abinadab is also the name of one of Jesse's sons, making him one of David's brothers. He is mentioned during the selection of David as king, when Samuel visits Jesse's family. Abinadab is presented to Samuel as a potential king, but he is not chosen. This account is found in <a href="/1_samuel/16-8.htm">1 Samuel 16:8</a>: "Then Jesse called Abinadab and presented him to Samuel, who said, 'The LORD has not chosen this one either.'"<br><br>3. <b>Abinadab, Son of Saul:</b> Another Abinadab is one of King Saul's sons. He fought alongside his father in the battle against the Philistines at Mount Gilboa, where he was killed. This is recorded in <a href="/1_samuel/31-2.htm">1 Samuel 31:2</a>: "The Philistines pursued Saul and his sons, and they killed his sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua."<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b><br><br>· <b>Abinadab of Kirjath-jearim:</b> The Ark of the Covenant was a central symbol of God's presence with Israel. Its stay in Abinadab's house signifies a period of transition and waiting for Israel, as the Ark was not yet brought to Jerusalem. The consecration of Eleazar indicates the sacred responsibility associated with the Ark.<br><br>· <b>Abinadab, Son of Jesse:</b> As one of David's elder brothers, Abinadab's mention highlights the unexpected choice of David, the youngest, as king. This narrative underscores the biblical theme that God often chooses the unlikely or overlooked to fulfill His purposes.<br><br>· <b>Abinadab, Son of Saul:</b> His death alongside his father and brothers marks the tragic end of Saul's reign and the transition to David's kingship. This event is pivotal in the shift of power from the house of Saul to the house of David.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>· <b>Divine Selection:</b> The accounts involving Abinadab, particularly the son of Jesse, emphasize the theme of divine selection and the criteria by which God chooses leaders, which often contrasts with human expectations.<br><br>· <b>Custodianship of the Sacred:</b> Abinadab of Kirjath-jearim's role in housing the Ark highlights the importance of reverence and proper custodianship of sacred objects and symbols in Israelite worship.<br><br>· <b>Judgment and Transition:</b> The death of Abinadab, son of Saul, serves as a narrative of judgment against Saul's disobedience and the divine orchestration of leadership transition in Israel.<br><br><b>Related Entries:</b> Ark of the Covenant, Jesse, Saul, David, Eleazar, Jonathan, Philistines, Kirjath-jearim, Mount Gilboa.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Abinadab</span><p>father of a vow, or of willingness<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Abinadab</span><p><ol> <li>A Levite, a native of Kirjath-jearim, in whose house the ark remained 20 years.

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 (<a href="/1_samuel/6-20.htm">1 Samuel 6:20, 21</a>); 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" (<a href="/joshua/9-17.htm">Joshua 9:17, 23</a>). 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 (<a href="/1_samuel/14-18.htm">1 Samuel 14:18</a>).<br><br>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 (<a href="/nasb/1_chronicles/13.htm">1 Chronicles 13</a> <a href="/nasb/2_samuel/6.htm">2 Samuel 6</a>).
