1. genuine prophet of י׳, נביא, anciently called רֹאֶה, 1 Samuel 9:9 (antiquarian note); change probably occurred in times of Elijah and is first reflected in Ehpraimitic source literally as applied to Abraham Genesis 20:7; Moses Deuteronomy 34:10, M. and other early prophets. Hosea 6:5; Hosea 12:11 (twice in verse); Hosea 12:14 (twice in verse); Amos 2:11, 12; of prophets in ecstatic state Numbers 12:6 (E), Numbers 11:24 (JE). So in Judaic literature, of prophet like Moses Deuteronomy 18:15, 18 (D), of Aaron (as mouthpiece of Moses) Exodus 7:1 (P), of Samuel 1 Samuel 3:20, an unknown Judges 6:8; in time of Samuel prophets were organized in bands: חֶבֶל נביאים 1 Samuel 10:5, 10:10; להקת הנ׳ 1 Samuel 19:20; and in time of Elijah were בְּנֵי הַנְּבִיאִים = members of prophets' guilds 1 Kings 20:35; 2 Kings 2:3, 5, 7, 15; 2 Kings 4:1, 38 (twice in verse); נָבִיא of genuine prophets (besides phrases), in Judaic prophets, only Jeremiah, Jeremiah 1:5; Ezekiel, Ezekiel 2:5 = Ezekiel 33:33; of ancient prophets Jeremiah 28:8, 9 (3 times in verse); Zechariah 1:6; Zechariah 8:9; especially הנביאים הראשׁנים Zechariah 1:4; Zechariah 7:7, 12, compare הנביאים עבדי(וׅ my (his) servants the prophets 2 Kings 9:7; 2 Kings 17:13, 23; 2 Kings 21:10; 2 Kings 24:2 (all RD) Ezra 9:11; Jeremiah 7:25; Jeremiah 25:4; Jeremiah 26:5; Jeremiah 29:19; Jeremiah 35:15; Jeremiah 44:4; Amos 3:7; Zechariah 1:6, compare Ezekiel 38:17; Daniel 9:6; עבדוֺ הַנּ׳ his servant the prophet 1 Kings 14:18; 2 Kings 14:25; הַנָּבִיא with proper name: Jerome, 2 Chronicles 36:12; Daniel 9:2 + 31 times Jeremiah (but Greek Version of the LXX only + 4 times, the rest probably redactional, see GieJer. xxvii); Elijah 1 Kings 18:36 (om Greek Version of the LXX), 2 Chronicles 21:12; Malachi 3:23; Nathan 2 Samuel 7:2 + 10 times Samuel and Kings; + 4 times Chronicles; Psalm 51:2 (title); Isaiah, 2 Kings 19:2; 2 Kings 20:1, 14 = Isaiah 37:2; Isaiah 38:1; Isaiah 39:1; 2 Kings 20:11; 2 Chronicles 26:22; 32:20, 32; Habakkuk Habakkuk 1:1; Habakkuk 3:1 (titles); Haggai, Haggai 1:1, 3, 12; Haggai 2:1, 10; Zechariah, Zechariah 1:1, 7 (titles); elsewhere several others in Samuel, Kings and Chronicles + 15 times; נביא is used elsewhere of Genuine prophecy only 1 Samuel 9:9 + 34 times Samuel and Kings; 1 Chronicles 16:22 = Psalm 105:15, + 13 times Chronicles; Psalm 74:9 complains of absence of נ׳; לַחְתֹּם חָזוֺן וְנָבִיא Daniel 9:24 see חתם
2. false prophets: prophets as official class, beside priests, character as false prophets: Isaiah 28:7; Jeremiah 2:26; Jeremiah 4:9; Jeremiah 6:13; Jeremiah 8:1, 10; Jeremiah 13:13; Jeremiah 14:18; Jeremiah 18:18; Jeremiah 23:11, 33, 34; Jeremiah 26:7, 8, 11, 16; Jeremiah 32:32; Zechariah 7:3, app. also 2 Kings 23:2; Nehemiah 9:32; Lamentations 2:20; Jeremiah 29:1; Ezekiel 7:26 (in these not characterized); always false (except of ancient and special prophets given above) in Amos 7:14; Hosea 4:5; Hosea 9:7, 8; Micah 3:5, 6, 11; Isaiah 3:2; Isaiah 9:14; Isaiah 29:10; Jeremiah 2:8, 30; Jeremiah 5:13, 31; Jeremiah 14:13, 14, 15 (twice in verse); Jeremiah 23:9 + 16 times Jeremiah 27:9, 14, 15, 16, 18; Jeremiah 29:8, 15; Jeremiah 37:19; Ezekiel 13:2 (twice in verse); Ezekiel 13:3, 4, 9, 16; Ezekiel 14:4, 7, 9 (twice in verse); Ezekiel 14:10; Ezekiel 22:25, 28; Zephaniah 3:4; Lamentations 2:9, 14; Lamentations 4:13; especially discredited Deuteronomy 13:2; Deuteronomy 13:4; Deuteronomy 13:6; Deuteronomy 18:20 (twice in verse); Deuteronomy 18:22 (twice in verse); Zechariah 13:2, 4, 5; such a prophet Hananiah called הַנָּבִיא Jeremiah 28:1, 5, 10, 12, 15, 17 (Greek Version of the LXX omits in all but Jeremiah 28:1, where ψευδοπροφήτης). Usage of prophets themselves gives such a bad flavour to נביא, that we are not surprised that it is absent from exilic Isaiah, the Wisdom Literature, and Psalms (except for special reasons in 3 Psalms given under 1).
3. heathen prophets 1 Kings 18:20; 1 Kings 19:1; 2 Kings 3:13 (twice in verse); נביאי האשׁדה 1 Kings 18:19; נביאי הבעל 1 Kings 18:19, 22, 25, 40; 2 Kings 10:19; 1 Kings 22:6, 10, 12, 13, 22, 23 2 Chronicles 18:5; 18:9; 18:11; 18:12; 18:21; 18:22.
