Audio Bible Context The Sons of Israel…13Jesse was the father of Eliab his firstborn; Abinadab was born second, Shimea third, 14Nethanel fourth, Raddai fifth, 15Ozem sixth, and David seventh.… Cross References 1 Samuel 16:6-13 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and said, “Surely here before the LORD is His anointed.” / But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.” / Then Jesse called Abinadab and presented him to Samuel, who said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.” ... 1 Samuel 17:12-14 Now David was the son of a man named Jesse, an Ephrathite from Bethlehem of Judah who had eight sons. And in the days of Saul, Jesse was old and well along in years. / The three older sons of Jesse had followed Saul into battle: The firstborn was Eliab, the second was Abinadab, and the third was Shammah. / And David was the youngest. The three oldest had followed Saul, 1 Samuel 17:28 Now when David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, his anger burned against David. “Why have you come down here?” he asked. “And with whom did you leave those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and wickedness of heart—you have come down to see the battle!” 1 Samuel 18:17 Then Saul said to David, “Here is my older daughter Merab. I will give her to you in marriage. Only be valiant for me and fight the LORD’s battles.” But Saul was thinking, “I need not raise my hand against him; let the hand of the Philistines be against him.” 1 Samuel 22:1-2 So David left Gath and took refuge in the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and the rest of his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there. / And all who were distressed or indebted or discontented rallied around him, and he became their leader. About four hundred men were with him. 1 Samuel 22:9-10 But Doeg the Edomite, who had stationed himself with Saul’s servants, answered: “I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelech son of Ahitub at Nob. / Ahimelech inquired of the LORD for him and gave him provisions. He also gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.” 1 Samuel 22:20-23 But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped. His name was Abiathar, and he fled to David. / And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD. / Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew that Doeg the Edomite was there that day, and that he was sure to tell Saul. I myself am responsible for the lives of everyone in your father’s house. ... 2 Samuel 2:18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Now Asahel was fleet of foot like a wild gazelle, 2 Samuel 3:30 (Joab and his brother Abishai murdered Abner because he had killed their brother Asahel in the battle at Gibeon.) 2 Samuel 23:18-19 Now Abishai, the brother of Joab and son of Zeruiah, was chief of the Three, and he wielded his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three. / Was he not more honored than the Three? And he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three. 2 Samuel 23:24 Now these were members of the Thirty: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem, 1 Kings 2:5 Moreover, you know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me—what he did to Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether, the two commanders of the armies of Israel. He killed them in peacetime to avenge the blood of war. He stained with the blood of war the belt around his waist and the sandals on his feet. 1 Kings 2:32 The LORD will bring his bloodshed back upon his own head, for without the knowledge of my father David he struck down two men more righteous and better than he when he put to the sword Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army. 1 Chronicles 11:20-21 Now Abishai, the brother of Joab, was chief of the Three, and he wielded his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name along with the Three. / He was doubly honored above the Three, and he became their commander, even though he was not included among the Three. 1 Chronicles 11:26 Now these were the mighty men: Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan son of Dodo of Bethlehem, Treasury of Scripture Nethaneel the fourth, Raddai the fifth, Jump to Previous Fifth Fourth Nethaneel Nethanel Nethan'elJump to Next Fifth Fourth Nethaneel Nethanel Nethan'el1 Chronicles 2 1.

Nethanel fourth Nethanel is listed as the fourth son of Jesse, the father of King David. 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 (Matthew 1:1). Raddai fifth Persons / Places / Events 1. NethanelThe fourth son of Jesse, mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. His name means "God has given" in Hebrew, reflecting a common practice of naming children with a theophoric element, indicating a connection to God. 2. Raddai The fifth son of Jesse. His name is less common in the biblical account, and not much is known about him beyond his place in the genealogy. The name Raddai may derive from a root meaning "to subdue" or "to rule." 3. Jesse The father of David, an important figure in the lineage of Jesus Christ. Jesse is a significant patriarch in the tribe of Judah, and his lineage is crucial for understanding the messianic prophecies. 4. Tribe of Judah One of the twelve tribes of Israel, known for its leadership and royal lineage, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended. 5. Genealogical Records The chronicling of family lines, which was important for establishing tribal identity, inheritance rights, and fulfilling God's promises to His people. Teaching Points The Importance of Genealogy in ScriptureGenealogies in the Bible are not mere lists of names; they serve to connect God's promises across generations. They remind us of God's faithfulness and the unfolding of His redemptive plan. God's Sovereignty in Family Lines The inclusion of seemingly obscure figures like Nethanel and Raddai in the genealogy of Jesus underscores God's sovereign choice and His ability to use all people for His purposes, regardless of their prominence. The Role of Family in God's Plan Families are central to God's work in the world. Just as Jesse's family played a crucial role in biblical history, our families can be instruments of God's grace and purpose today. Legacy and Faithfulness The genealogies challenge us to consider the legacy we are leaving. Are we living in a way that honors God and sets a foundation of faith for future generations?

What Does 1 Chronicles 2:14 Mean Nethanel fourth• “Nethanel the fourth” (1 Chronicles 2:14) identifies the fourth son of Jesse after Eliab, Abinadab, and Shimea (1 Chronicles 2:13; 1 Samuel 17:13). • By naming him, Scripture highlights God’s careful preservation of the Davidic line that ultimately points to Christ (Matthew 1:6; Luke 3:31). • His place in the birth order underscores a recurring pattern: while firstborn status carried legal weight (Deuteronomy 21:17), God chose the youngest, David, for kingship (1 Samuel 16:6-13), showing that divine selection rests on God’s purpose rather than human rank. • Though the Bible records no exploits for Nethanel, his inclusion assures us that every person plays a part in God’s unfolding plan (2 Timothy 2:19). Raddai fifth • The verse continues, “Raddai the fifth” (1 Chronicles 2:14), confirming a fifth son before Ozem and David (1 Chronicles 2:15; 1 Samuel 17:12). • The Chronicler writes centuries after David, yet the list agrees with earlier narratives, reinforcing the reliability and unity of Scripture (2 Samuel 7:8; 1 Chronicles 17:7). • Raddai’s obscurity illustrates a biblical theme: many faithful lives remain unseen by history but are fully known to God (Hebrews 6:10). • His mention alongside his brothers sets the scene for God’s surprising choice of David, reminding us that “the LORD looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7; Romans 9:11-12). summary 1 Chronicles 2:14 is more than a brief genealogical note. By recording “Nethanel the fourth, Raddai the fifth,” God establishes the historical accuracy of the Davidic family, shows His attention to every individual, and prepares the reader for His sovereign choice of David—foreshadowing the greater Son of David, the Messiah (Luke 1:32-33).
