This name appears multiple times in the Old Testament, associated with various individuals who played significant roles in the history and religious life of Israel.<br><br>1. <b>Nethanel, Son of Zuar</b>: Nethanel, the son of Zuar, was a leader of the tribe of Issachar during the wilderness wanderings of the Israelites. He is mentioned in the Book of Numbers as one of the tribal leaders who assisted Moses in the census of the Israelites. <a href="/numbers/1-8.htm">Numbers 1:8</a> states, "from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar." He also played a role in the organization of the camp and the offerings at the dedication of the altar (<a href="/numbers/2-5.htm">Numbers 2:5</a>; 7:18).<br><br>2. <b>Nethanel, Son of Jesse</b>: Another Nethanel is listed as one of the sons of Jesse, making him a brother of King David. In <a href="/1_chronicles/2-14.htm">1 Chronicles 2:14</a>, it is recorded, "Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth." Although not much is detailed about his life, his inclusion in the genealogy highlights the prominence of Jesse's family in the history of Israel.<br><br>3. <b>Nethanel, a Priest</b>: In the time of King David, a priest named Nethanel is mentioned as one of the Levites who played musical instruments in the service of the house of the LORD. <a href="/1_chronicles/15-24.htm">1 Chronicles 15:24</a> notes, "Shebaniah, Jehoshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer the priests were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God."<br><br>4. <b>Nethanel, a Teacher of the Law</b>: During the reign of King Jehoshaphat, Nethanel was one of the Levites sent throughout the cities of Judah to teach the people the Law of the LORD. This initiative was part of Jehoshaphat's reforms to bring the nation back to the worship of Yahweh. <a href="/2_chronicles/17-7.htm">2 Chronicles 17:7-9</a> describes this mission, emphasizing the importance of religious education in maintaining the covenant relationship with God.<br><br>5. <b>Nethanel, a Signatory of the Covenant</b>: In the post-exilic period, a Nethanel is listed among the priests who sealed the covenant with Nehemiah, committing to follow the Law of God and to separate themselves from the surrounding peoples. <a href="/nehemiah/10-2.htm">Nehemiah 10:2-8</a> includes his name among those who took this solemn oath, reflecting the community's dedication to spiritual renewal and obedience.<br><br>The name Nethanel, with its meaning "God has given," underscores the biblical theme of divine provision and blessing. Each individual bearing this name contributed to the religious and communal life of Israel, whether through leadership, worship, teaching, or covenant commitment.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">NETHANEL</span><p>ne-than'-el, neth'-a-nel (nethan'el, "God has given"; Nathanael; the King James Version Nethaneel, ne-than'-e-el):<br><br>(1) A chief or prince of Issachar (<a href="/numbers/1-8.htm">Numbers 1:8</a>; <a href="/numbers/2-5.htm">Numbers 2:5</a>; <a href="/numbers/7-18.htm">Numbers 7:18, 23</a>; 10:15).<br><br>(2) The 4th son of Jesse (<a href="/1_chronicles/2-14.htm">1 Chronicles 2:14</a>).<br><br>(3) One of the trumpet-blowers before the ark when it was brought up from the house of Obededom (<a href="/1_chronicles/15-24.htm">1 Chronicles 15:24</a>).<br><br>(4) A Levite scribe, the father of Shemaiah (<a href="/1_chronicles/24-6.htm">1 Chronicles 24:6</a>).<br><br>(5) The 5th son of Obed-edom (<a href="/1_chronicles/26-4.htm">1 Chronicles 26:4</a>).<br><br>(6) One of the princes whom Jehoshaphat sent to teach in the cities of Judah (<a href="/2_chronicles/17-7.htm">2 Chronicles 17:7</a>).<br><br>(7) A Levite who gave cattle for Josiah's Passover (<a href="/2_chronicles/35-9.htm">2 Chronicles 35:9</a>).<br><br>(8) One of the priests who had married foreign wives (<a href="/ezra/10-22.htm">Ezra 10:22</a>; compare 1Es 9:22).<br><br>(9) A priest registered under the high priest Joiakim (<a href="/nehemiah/12-21.htm">Nehemiah 12:21</a>).<br><br>(10) A Levite musician who assisted at the dedication of the walls (<a href="/nehemiah/12-36.htm">Nehemiah 12:36</a>).<br><br>John A.
