Abihu

Abihu
Meaning: father of Him; i.e., "worshipper of God".
This was the name of the second of the sons of Aaron.Exodus 6:23; Numbers 3:2, 26, 60; 1 Chronicles 6:3
Along with his three brothers he was consecrated to the priest's office.Exodus 28:1 With his father and elder brother he accompanied the seventy elders part of the way up the mount with Moses (Exodus 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,Leviticus 6:9 etc.), and for this offense they were struck dead, and were taken out and buried without the camp.Leviticus 10:1-11; Numbers 3:4, 26, 61; 1 Chronicles 24:2 It is probable that when they committed this offense they were intoxicated, for immediately after is given the law prohibiting the use of wine or strong drink to the priests.
