Onan
Onan was the brother of Er and a son of Judah. Judah told Onan to go in unto his brother's wife and perform the duty of a husband's brother to raise up seed unto his brother. Onan knew the seed would not be his and spilt it on the ground, so he was wicked in the eyes of the Lord and was slain. He died childless in the land of Canaan.
