Bible Person

Nethaneel

Meaning: same as Nathanael · Male · 1 cross reference

This Nethaneel entry refers to the father of Shemaiah the scribe in 1 Chronicles 24:6, not to David's brother, the temple porter, or the teaching prince. He belongs to the family background of priestly ordering in David's reign. First appears in 1 Chr 24:6.1

AI summary: This Nethaneel matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of the scribe who records the priestly divisions. Even a brief paternal notice helps root administrative order in remembered households. Taken together, the material presents this Nethaneel as a familial source in David's priestly organization.1
