Theological / Devotional

Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai. For this phrase Chronicles reads, “Eliphal the son of Ur, Hepher the Mecherathite” (1 Chron. 11:35, 36), thus listing two heroes instead of one.

Eliam. 1 Chron. 11:36 omits Eliam, but adds the name of another individual, “Ahijah the Pelonite.” It is of interest to know that among David’s heroes was the son of his famous counselor, Ahithophel (see 2 Sam. 15:31 ; 16:23).
