a) Abihu was the second son of Aaron. He was consecrated a priest along with his brothers Nadab, Eleazar, and Ithamar to minister at the Tabernacle (Exodus 28:1). But later, Abihu and Nadab were guilty of offering "profane fire before the Lord, such as He had not authorized." Both Abihu and Nadab died when "Fire came forth from the Lord's presence and consumed them." (Leviticus 10:1-2). 

Leviticus 10:1-2 New King James Version (NKJV) 

10 Then Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it, put incense on it, and offered profane fire before the Lord, which He had not commanded them. ² So fire went out from the Lord and devoured them, and they died before the Lord.
