 Abihu
    father of Him; i.e., "worshipper of God", the second of the sons
    of Aaron (Ex. 6:23; Num. 3:2; 26:60; 1 Chr. 6:3). Along with his
    three brothers he was consecrated to the priest's office (Ex.
    28:1). With his father and elder brother he accompanied the
    seventy elders part of the way up the mount with Moses (Ex.
    24:1,9). On one occasion he and Nadab his brother offered
    incense in their censers filled with "strange" (i.e., common)
    fire, i.e., not with fire taken from the great brazen altar
    (Lev. 6:9, etc.), and for this offence they were struck dead,
    and were taken out and buried without the camp (Lev. 10:1-11;
    comp. Num. 3:4; 26:61; 1 Chr. 24:2). It is probable that when
    they committed this offence they were intoxicated, for
    immediately after is given the law prohibiting the use of wine
    or strong drink to the priests.
