Also called: Nebat
Nebat is a figure mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, primarily known as the father of Jeroboam, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the division of the united monarchy. He is referenced in connection with the rise of Jeroboam and the subsequent establishment of the northern kingdom following the reign of Solomon.[1KI 11:26][1KI 12:2]
Nebat's significance lies in his role as the progenitor of Jeroboam, whose leadership marked a critical turning point in Israel's history, leading to the division of the kingdom. This division had lasting impacts on the political and religious landscape of ancient Israel.[1KI 12:15][2CH 10:15]
