JEIEL

(Heb. yĕʿêʾēl) (also JEHIEL, JEUEL)

A common levitical name from the time of David to that of Ezra and Nehemiah. The variation in the spelling of this name (Jehiel, Jeuel) is simply due to Hebrew orthography.

1. A chief of a Reubenite clan (1 Chr. 5:7).

2. The father of Gibeon and a Levite in the genealogy of Saul (1 Chr. 9:35; cf. NRSV 8:29). The Hebrew text is written Jehuel, but is to be read Jeiel (cf. NIV).

3. One of the two sons of Hotham the Aroerite; one of David’s warriors (1 Chr. 11:44; K Jeuel).

4. A Levite harpist appointed to the second rank of musicians who played while the ark was moved from the house of Obed-edom to Jerusalem (1 Chr. 15:18; 21). This appointment became permanent after the ark was placed in the tent David built for it (1 Chr. 16:5).

5. An Asaphite Levite, ancestor of the prophet Jahaziel (2 Chr. 20:14).

6. A secretary who helped prepare a military roster for King Uzziah (2 Chr. 26:11).
