<p> ( '''''אֵַלי''''' , an old form of the "construct state" of '''''אֵל''''' , the ''Mighty,'' i.e., Almighty, the union vowel ''I'' being used as in [[Abi-, Ahi-]] etc.) often occurs as the first element of proper names (comp. Elihu, Elijah, and many others here following), as referring to the highest notion of the [[Deity]] among the Shemitic races. As such epithet it is sometimes interchangeable with BAAL (See [[Baal]]) - (q.v.) (see &nbsp;2 Samuel 5:16; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 14:7), or even JEHO (See Jeho) - (q.v.) (see &nbsp;2 Kings 23:34). This constructive form is also sometimes interchanged with the abbreviation of the simple '''''אל''''' into '''''אלאּ''''' (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:6; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 14:5; compare &nbsp;Exodus 6:22; &nbsp;Numbers 3:30), or it even exchanges places with the other element of the name, e.g. [[Eliam]] (&nbsp;2 Samuel 11:3) becomes [[Ammiel]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:5). As in the words beginning with ''Abi-, Ahi-,'' etc., this element often melts into the other member, not strictly in a genitive sense, but as a sort of liturgical invocation or eulogium of the Deity, as is found to be the case with similar names used as religious formulae, especially among the ancient Phoenicians ((See Elhanan).) </p>
