Abdiel
Abdiel (
Hebrew עֲבְדִּיאֵל "Servant of God") is a
Seraph in the Sepher Raziel and in
Milton's Paradise Lost. In the
Bible, Abdiel is the father of Ahi, a clan leader of the tribe of
Gad (1 Chronicles 5:15).In Paradise Lost, Abdiel denounces
Satan after hearing him incite revolt among the
angels, and abandons
Lucifer to bring the news of his defection to
God. However, when he arrives, he finds that preparations are already underway for battle. In the ensuing fight, Abdiel smites
Satan,
Ariel,
Ramiel, and
Arioch, presumably among others.
