NEBAT.Father of Jeroboam i. (1Ki_11:26 and onwards). The constant designation of Jeroboam i. as ben-Nebat is probably the usage of a writer later than Jeroboam ben-Joash. It is intended, doubtless, to distinguish the two kings.

Father of Jeroboam, an Ephrathite, or Ephraimite, of Zereda in the Jordan valley. Died before his son came into notice (1Ki_11:26).

nē?bat (נבט, nebhāṭ): Father of Jeroboam I (1Ki_11:26, and frequently elsewhere). The name occurs only in the phrase ?Jeroboam the son of Nebat,? and is evidently intended to distinguish Jeroboam I from the later son of Joash. See JEROBOAM.
