STEPBible TIPNR
Padon is mentioned in the lists of the people who returned to Jerusalem from the Babylonian exile (Ezr 2:44; Neh 7:47). He was an ancestor of a group of temple servants, also known as the Nethinim, who were assigned to assist the Levites in the maintenance and service of the temple. The Nethinim were considered a distinct group among the returnees and were listed separately from the other Israelites. The mention of Padon in these lists suggests that he was a significant figure among the temple servants, possibly a leader or a prominent ancestor. However, no further details about Padon's life or specific role are provided in the Bible.
