Nebat
An Ephraimite of Zeredah and the father of Jeroboam I, the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel.
Nebat is primarily identified in Scripture as the father of Jeroboam I, who led the ten tribes in rebellion against the house of David. His name is frequently invoked in the refrain describing Jeroboam as the one who made Israel sin. Beyond his lineage as an Ephraimite from Zeredah, the biblical text provides no further details regarding his personal life or actions.
