Eliel

1. Warrior and head of a family of the half-tribe of Manasseh that lived east of the Jordan River (1 Chr 5:24).

2. Tola’s son, a Kohathite who was one of the Levitical singers in the time of David (1 Chr 6:34); possibly the same as Eliab (1 Chr 6:27).

3. Shimei’s son and a chief of Benjamin’s tribe (1 Chr 8:20).

4. Shashak’s son and a chief of Benjamin’s tribe (1 Chr 8:22).

5. Warrior among David’s mighty men (1 Chr 11:46), called a Mahavite.

6. Another warrior among David’s mighty men (1 Chr 11:47).

7. Warrior from the Gadites who joined David at Ziklag in his struggle against King Saul. Eliel was one of those experts with a shield and spear. Whether the Eliel of 1 Chronicles 12:11 should be equated with either of the two Eliels of 1 Chronicles 11:46–47 is impossible to say.

8. Levite and chief of the family of Hebron, who was involved in bringing the ark to Jerusalem in David’s time (1 Chr 15:9).

9. Priest who assisted in bringing the ark to Jerusalem (1 Chr 15:11); possibly the same as #8 above.

10. Levite who assisted Conaniah in the administration of the tithes, contributions, and dedicated things given to the temple during Hezekiah’s reign (2 Chr 31:13).
