Elika
(rejected of God), a Harodite, one of David’s guard. (2 Samuel 23:25)
Elim
(strong trees), (Exodus 15:27; Numbers 33:9) the second station where the Israelites encamped
after crossing the Red Sea. It is distinguished as having had “twelve wells (rather ’fountains’) of
waster, and three-score and ten palm trees.” It is generally identified by the best authorities with
Wady Garundel, about halfway down the shore of the Gulf of Suez. A few palm trees still remain,
and the water is excellent.
Elimelech
(my God is king), a man of the tribe of Judah and of the family of the Hezronites, who dwelt
in Bethlehem-Ephratah in the days of the Judges. (B.C. 1312.) In consequence of a great death in
the land he went with his wife, Naomi, and his two sons, Mahlon and Chilion, to dwell in Moab,
where he and his sons died without posterity. (Ruth 1:2,3) etc.
Elioenai
(my eyes are toward the Lord).
•Elsest son of Neariah, the son of Shemaiah. (1 Chronicles 3:23,24)
•Head of a family of the Simeonites. (1 Chronicles 4:36) (B.C. after 1451.)
•Head of one of the families of the sons of Becher, the son of Benjamin. (1 Chronicles 7:8)
•A Korhite Levite, and one of the doorkeepers of the “house of Jehovah.” (1 Chronicles 26:3)
•A priest in the days of Ezra, one of those who had married foreign wives. (Ezra 10:22) (B.C. 446.)
Possibly the same as
•An Israelite of the sons of Zattu, who had also married a foreign wife. (Ezra 10:27) (B.C. 458.)
Eliphal
(whom God judges), son of Ur, one of David’s guard. (1 Chronicles 11:35) [Eliphelet, 3]
Eliphalet
(the god of deliverance), the last of the thirteen sons born to David after his establishment in
Jerusalem. (2 Samuel 5:16; 1 Chronicles 14:7) [Eliphelet, 2]
Eliphaz
(God is his strength).
•The son of Esau and Adah, and the father of Teman. (Genesis 36:4; 1 Chronicles 1:35,36)
•The chief of the “three friends” of Job. He is called “the Temanite;” hence it is naturally inferred
that he was a descendant of Teman. On him falls the main burden of the argument, that God’s
retribution in this world is perfect and certain, and that consequently suffering must be a proof of
previous sin. Job 4,5,15,22. The great truth brought out by him is the unapproachable majesty and
purity of God. (Job 4:12-21; 15:12-16) [Job, Job, Book Of]
Elipheleh
(whom God makes distinguished), a Merarite Levite, one of the gate-keepers appointed by
David to play on the harp “on the Sheminith” on the occasion of bringing up the ark to the city of
David. (1 Chronicles 15:18,21)
Eliphelet
(the God of deliverance).
•The name of a son of David, one of the children born to him after his establishment in Jerusalem.
(1 Chronicles 3:6) (B.C. after 1044.)
