AMMINADAB

(Heb. ʿammînāḏāḇ;
Gk. Aminadáb)

1. A leader of the tribe of Judah whose lineage is traced through Ruth down to David (Ruth 4:19-20; Matt. 1:4). He was the son of Ram (Ruth 4:19; called Admin in Luke 3:33), father of Nahshon (Num. 1:7; 2:3) and of Elisheba, the wife of Aaron (Exod. 6:23).

2. A Levite, son of Kohath and father of Korah (1 Chr. 6:22[MT 7]; LXX “Izhar”; cf. Exod. 6:18).

3. A chief of the levitical family of Uzziel, descendant of Kohath (1 Chr. 15:10-11). He was among the Levites who transferred the ark from the house of Obed-edom to Jerusalem.

4. The father of Esther, according to the LXX (Esth. 2:15; 9:29), though the MT names Abihail as her father.

5. The king of Beth-ammon (Akk. Amminadbi), who gave tribute to Assurbanipal (ANET, 294a). It is not impossible that he is identical with the same name which occurs on a 7th-century b.c.e. seal.
