Eliphelet is a biblical name that appears multiple times in the Old Testament, associated with different individuals. The name Eliphelet means "God is deliverance" or "God is my deliverance," reflecting a common theme in Hebrew names that emphasize divine intervention and protection.

1. Eliphelet, Son of David: Eliphelet is mentioned as one of the sons of King David. In 1 Chronicles 3:6, Eliphelet is listed among David's sons born in Jerusalem: "Ibhar, Elishama, Eliphelet." The parallel account in 2 Samuel 5:14 also includes Eliphelet in the list of David's sons: "These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet." The inclusion of Eliphelet in these genealogies underscores the importance of lineage and heritage in the Davidic dynasty.

2. Eliphelet, Son of Ahasbai: Another Eliphelet is mentioned among David's mighty warriors. In 2 Samuel 23:34, Eliphelet is identified as the son of Ahasbai, the Maacathite: "Eliphelet son of Ahasbai the Maacathite, Eliam son of Ahithophel the Gilonite." This Eliphelet is part of the elite group known as David's "mighty men," who were renowned for their bravery and loyalty to the king. The mention of his father, Ahasbai, and his association with Maacah, a region or people group, provides additional context to his background.

3. Eliphelet, Exile Returnee: In the post-exilic period, another Eliphelet is noted among those who returned from Babylonian captivity with Ezra. Ezra 8:13 lists him as one of the sons of Adonikam: "Of the last sons of Adonikam, these were their names: Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them 60 men." This Eliphelet is part of the group that participated in the restoration of Jerusalem and the reestablishment of the Jewish community in the land of Israel. His inclusion in the list of returnees highlights the continuity of the Jewish people and their commitment to rebuilding their spiritual and communal life.

The name Eliphelet, appearing in various contexts, reflects the diverse roles and contributions of individuals bearing this name in biblical history. Whether as a son of David, a mighty warrior, or a returnee from exile, each Eliphelet is part of the larger narrative of God's interaction with His people, illustrating themes of deliverance, loyalty, and restoration.Eliphelet
