ELIPHELET

(Heb. ʾĕlîpeleṭ)

1. One (two?) of 13 sons born to David’s wives in Jerusalem (2 Sam. 5:16; 1 Chr. 3:6, 8; 14:5, 7). The name appears twice in the Chronicler’s lists, once in the 2 Samuel list. The discrepancy may be the result of scribal dittography in the Chronicler’s lists or scribal omission in 2 Samuel.

2. One of David’s Thirty (2 Sam. 23:34), the son of Ahasbai of Maacah. He may be identified with Eliphal in the parallel list (1 Chr. 11:35).

3. The third son of a Benjaminite named Eshek and a distant descendant of Saul (1 Chr. 8:39).

4. A descendant of Adonikam, who returned to Judah from exile under the leadership of Ezra. He was accompanied by his two brothers(?) and a sizable company of males (Ezra 8:13; 1 Esdr. 8:39).

5. A descendant of Hashum, ordered to divorce his non-Israelite wife at the time of Ezra’s religious reforms (Ezra 10:33; 1 Esdr. 9:33).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
