β | + | '''Gaddi''' was also the surname of two father-and-son Italian painters of the early Renaissance, Taddeo Gaddi (c.1300-1366), and Agnolo Gaddi (c. 1350-1396). The work of both artists is largely concerned with angels, saints, and the Madonna. | |

β | + | '''Gad''' is a Biblical name, belonging to one of the Tribes of Israel, a son of Jacob, and a prophet of David. The prophet Gad is most notable for delivering to David the choice of three punishments from God in 2 Samuel: three years of famine, three months of fleeing from enemies, or three days of plague in your land. David allows God to choose, and 70,000 of his people die in three days from plague. ([http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=10&chapter=24&version=31&context=chapter 2 Samuel 24:11-15]) The other Gad was the seventh son of Jacob and the founder of the Israelite tribe also named Gad; interestingly, like the modern Gaddi tribe of India (see above), the tribe of Gad were also nomads. | |
