Abinadab, the son of Iddo, was married to Solomon's daughter Taphath and served as an official in Solomon's government, overseeing the region of Dor.
Abinadab son of Iddo was one of Solomon's twelve district governors, responsible for the region of Dor on the Mediterranean coast (1 Kings 4:11). He held a privileged position by marrying Solomon's daughter Taphath, indicating close integration between the administrative class and the royal family. Each governor was responsible for providing provisions for the royal household for one month of the year, making their role essential to the logistical operations of Solomon's court. Abinadab is known exclusively from this administrative list.
