Nethaneel

Meaning: same as Nathanael · Male · 1 cross reference

This Nethaneel entry refers to one of Jesse's sons and David's brother in 1 Chronicles 2:14, not to the priestly and post-exilic figures of the same name elsewhere. He belongs to David's immediate family in Bethlehem. First appears in 1 Chr 2:14.1

AI summary: This Nethaneel matters because his single cross reference helps fill out the wider family setting from which David emerges. The entry adds household texture to the story of Israel's most important royal family. Taken together, the material presents this Nethaneel as one of David's brothers.1
