Attai was the father of Nathan
The name "Attai" is derived from the Hebrew root "עַתַּי" (Attay), which means "timely" or "my time." This name suggests a person who is seen as arriving or being born at an opportune moment, perhaps indicating divine timing or purpose. In the genealogical context of 1 Chronicles, Attai is a link in the lineage of Judah, emphasizing the continuity and faithfulness of God's promises to His people. The mention of Attai as the father of Nathan highlights the importance of family lineage in the Hebrew tradition, where each generation is seen as a steward of God's covenant.

Nathan was the father of Zabad
The name "Nathan" comes from the Hebrew "נָתָן" (Natan), meaning "he has given" or "gift." This name reflects the biblical theme of God's generosity and the blessings bestowed upon His people. Nathan, in this context, is a continuation of the divine promise, a gift to the lineage of Judah. The role of Nathan as a father to Zabad underscores the transmission of faith and heritage, a central theme in the Chronicles, where the chronicler seeks to remind the Israelites of their identity and divine calling.

Zabad
The name "Zabad" is derived from the Hebrew "זָבַד" (Zabad), meaning "endowed" or "given." This name, like Nathan, carries the connotation of a divine gift or endowment. Zabad's place in the genealogy serves as a reminder of God's ongoing provision and the fulfillment of His promises through successive generations. The chronicler's inclusion of Zabad in the lineage underscores the importance of each individual in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan, encouraging readers to see their own lives as part of a larger divine narrative.

Verse 36. - The name Zabad throws considerable doubt on the opinion that no one of Jerahmeel's descendants given in this genealogy can be found elsewhere in the Old Testament; for compare again 1 Chronicles 11:41.
