Description
Who was Nadab?
Nadab is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.2.28 and 1Ch.2.30 as one of the sons of Shammai, a descendant of Judah through his son Jerahmeel. This reference appears in a genealogical record that traces the lineage of the tribe of Judah, providing insight into the family lines within the tribe.
In the genealogy, Shammai is listed as the son of Onam, who was the son of Jerahmeel (1Ch.2.26-28). Nadab is named alongside his brother Abishur as the sons of Shammai (1Ch.2.28).
Apart from being listed as a son of Shammai, no additional information is provided about Nadab's life, character, or role within the tribe of Judah. His mention in the genealogy serves primarily to establish his place within the family line and to contribute to the overall record of the tribe's history and lineage.
The inclusion of Nadab in this genealogical record demonstrates the importance of family heritage and tribal identity in ancient Israelite society. These records helped establish the legitimacy of land claims, leadership roles, and the preservation of the tribe's history and connection to their ancestors.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.

Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
