<p> ("God is my people") (&nbsp;2 Samuel 23:34). Son of Ahithophrl and father of Bathsheba; (&nbsp;2 Samuel 11:3). (See [[Ahithophel]] ; BATHSHEBA.) [[Ammiel]] (by transposition) in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:5, and Bathshua, non-Israelite names. [[Uriah]] was a Hittite (&nbsp;Genesis 38:2; &nbsp;Genesis 38:12; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:3). </p>

<p> <strong> [[Eliam]] </strong> . <strong> 1. </strong> Father of Bathsheba, whose first husband was a Hittite, &nbsp; 1 Samuel 11:3 (= &nbsp; 1 Chronicles 3:5 , where <strong> Eliam </strong> is called <strong> Ammiel </strong> ). <strong> 2. </strong> Son of Ahithophel the Gilonite, and one of David’s heroes (&nbsp; 2 Samuel 23:34 ). It is not impossible that this Eliam is the same as the preceding. </p>

<p> [usually El'am] (Hebrews Eliam', אֵַלועָם '', God'' is [his] ''People,'' i.e., ''Friend;'' Sept. Ε᾿λιάβ, Vulg. ''Eliam),'' the father of Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah and afterwards of David (&nbsp;2 Samuel 11:3). In the list of &nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:5, the names of both father and daughter are altered, the former to the equivalent AMMIEL (See Ammiel) (q.v.), and the latter to Bathshua, both the latter names being also those of non-Israelite persons, while Uriah was a Hittite (comp. &nbsp;Genesis 38:12; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:3; also &nbsp;2 Samuel 17:27). 'The same name Eliam also occurs as that of a Gilonite, the son of Ahithophel, and one of David's "thirty" warriors (&nbsp;2 Samuel 23:34). It is omitted in the list of &nbsp;1 Chronicles 11:1-47, but is now probably discernible as "AHIJAH the Pelonite" (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 11:36) (see Kennicott, ''Dissertation,'' p. 207). The ancient [[Jewish]] tradition preserved by [[Jerome]] ''(Qu. Hebr.'' on &nbsp;2 Samuel 11:3, and &nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:5) is that the two Eliams are the same person. An argument has been founded on this to account for the hostility of Ahithophel to king David, as having dishonored his house and caused the death of his son-in-law (Blunt, Coincidences, part 2, 10). But he would perhaps have rather been proud of this alliance with royalty. B.C. 1046. </p>
