<p> '''''ē̇''''' -'''''lı̄´ab''''' ( אליאב , <i> ''''''ĕlı̄'ābh''''' </i> , "God is father"): </p> <p> (1) Prince of the tribe of [[Zebulun]] in the Exodus ( Numbers 1:9; Numbers 2:7; Numbers 7:24 , Numbers 7:29; Numbers 10:16 ). </p> <p> (2) A R eubenite, father of [[Dathan]] and [[Abiram]] ( Numbers 16:11 , Numbers 16:12; Numbers 26:8 f; Deuteronomy 11:6 ). </p> <p> (3) Eldest son of [[Jesse]] and brother of [[David]] ( 1 Samuel 16:6 ), once called [[Elihu]] ( 1 Chronicles 27:18 ). He was of commanding appearance ( 1 Samuel 16:6 ) and when serving with Saul's army at the time when it was confronting the [[Philistines]] and Goliath, was inclined to lord it over his brother David ( 1 Samuel 17:28 f). His daughter [[Abihail]] became a Wife of [[Rehoboam]] ( 2 Chronicles 11:18 ). </p> <p> (4) An Ephraimite, an ancestor of Samuel ( 1 Chronicles 6:27 ); called [[Eliel]] in 1 Chronicles 6:34 , and Elihu in 1 Samuel 1:1 . </p> <p> (5) A G adire warrior with David ( 1 Chronicles 12:9 ), one of 11 mighty men ( 1 Chronicles 12:8 , 1 Chronicles 12:14 ). </p> <p> (6) A L evite musician ( 1 Chronicles 15:18 , 1 Chronicles 15:20; 1 Chronicles 16:5 ). </p> <p> (7) An ancestor of [[Judith]] (Judith 8:1; compare 9:2). </p>
<p> '''1.''' &nbsp;Numbers 1:9; &nbsp;Numbers 2:7; &nbsp;Numbers 7:24; &nbsp;Numbers 7:29; &nbsp;Numbers 10:16. </p> <p> '''2.''' &nbsp;Numbers 26:8-9; &nbsp;Numbers 16:1; &nbsp;Numbers 16:12; &nbsp;Deuteronomy 11:6. </p> <p> '''3.''' David's oldest brother (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:13; &nbsp;1 Samuel 16:6; &nbsp;1 Samuel 17:13; &nbsp;1 Samuel 17:28). [[Abihail]] his daughter (granddaughter?) married her second cousin Rehoboam, and bore him three children (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 11:18). [[Eliab]] betrayed anger without a cause toward David, when seeking his brethren's welfare ("Why camest thou down hither, and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness?"); also "pride and naughtiness of heart," the very sins he charged David with ("I know thy pride," etc.; he knew himself still less than he did David); uncharitable surmising instead of the love that thinketh no evil ("thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle".) David meekly replied, "Is there not a cause?" (see &nbsp;Matthew 5:22; &nbsp;1 Corinthians 13:4-7.) &nbsp;1 Corinthians 13:4. A [[Levite]] porter and musician on the psaltery (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 15:18; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 15:20; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 16:5). </p> <p> '''5.''' A [[Gadite]] leader who joined David in the wilderness in his flight from Saul (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 12:9). </p> <p> '''6.''' Ancestor of Samuel, a [[Kohathite]] Levite, son of [[Nahath]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:27). Called [[Elihu]] &nbsp;1 Samuel 1:1, also [[Eliel]] &nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:34. </p>

<p> <strong> ELIAB </strong> (‘God is father’). <strong> 1. </strong> The representative, or ‘prince,’ of the tribe of Zebulun, who assisted Moses and Aaron in numbering the children of [[Israel]] in the wilderness of [[Sinai]] (&nbsp; Numbers 1:1 ff.). <strong> 2. </strong> The father of Dathan and [[Abiram]] (&nbsp; Numbers 16:1 ). <strong> 3. </strong> The eldest brother of David, and thought by Samuel to have been destined for kingship in Israel on account of his beauty and stature (&nbsp; 1 Samuel 16:6-7 ). He is mentioned as being a warrior in the [[Israelite]] camp on the occasion of Goliath’s challenge to and defiance of the armies of Israel; he rebukes his younger brother David for his presumption in mixing himself up with the affairs of the army; his attitude towards David, after the victory of the latter over Goliath, is not mentioned. <strong> 4. </strong> One of the musicians who were appointed by the Levites, at David’s command, to accompany the procession which was formed on the occasion of bringing the ark from the house of [[Obededom]] up to [[Jerusalem]] (&nbsp; 1 Chronicles 15:18 ). <strong> 5. </strong> One of the [[Gadites]] who joined David, during his outlaw life, in the hold in the wilderness (&nbsp; 1 Chronicles 12:9 ). <strong> 6. </strong> An ancestor of Samuel (&nbsp; 1 Chronicles 6:27; see Elihu No. <strong> 1 </strong> ). <strong> 7. </strong> One of Judith’s ancestors ( Jdt 8:1 ). </p> <p> W.

<p> [[Eliab]] ( ''E-Lî'Ab'' ), to ''Whom God Is Father.'' The eldest son of Jesse, &nbsp;1 Samuel 17:13, and a man of angry and envious temper, as appears from his treatment of his brother David. There are in all six persons of this name mentioned in the Bible. </p>

<p> [usually Eli'ab] (Heb). Eliab', '''''אֶלַיאָב''''' , to whom [[God]] is ''Father;'' Sept. '''''Ε᾿Λιάβ''''' , Vulg. ''Eliab),'' the name of seven men. '''1.''' A Reubenite, son of [[Pallu]] or Phallu, whose family was one of the principal in the tribe, and father or progenitor of Dathan and Abiram, the leaders in the revolt against Moses (&nbsp;Numbers 26:8-9; &nbsp;Numbers 16:1; &nbsp;Numbers 16:12; &nbsp;Deuteronomy 11:6). B.C. post. 1856. Eliab had another son named Nemuel; and the record of &nbsp;Numbers 26:1-65 is interrupted expressly to admit a statement regarding his sons. </p> <p> '''2.''' A son of Helen, and phylarch of the tribe of Zebulun at the time of the census in the wilderness of Sinai (&nbsp;Numbers 1:9; &nbsp;Numbers 2:7; &nbsp;Numbers 7:24; &nbsp;Numbers 7:29; &nbsp;Numbers 10:16). B.C. 1657. </p> <p> '''3.''' An ancestor of Samuel (q.v.) the prophet, being a Kohathite Levite, son of Nahath and father of [[Jeroham]] (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:27 [12]). B.C. cir. 1250. In the other statements of the genealogy this name appears to be given as ELIHU (See Elihu) (&nbsp;1 Samuel 1:1) and ELIEL (See Eliel) (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:34 [19]). </p> <p> '''4.''' The eldest son of [[Jesse]] and brother of David (&nbsp;1 Samuel 16:6; &nbsp;1 Samuel 17:13; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 2:13). It was he that made the contemptuous inquiry, by which he sought to screen his own cowardice, when David proposed to fight Goliath, "With whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness?" (&nbsp;1 Samuel 17:28.) B.C. 1063. His daughter Abihail married her second cousin Rehoboam, and bore him three children (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 11:18); although, taking into account the length of the reigns of David and Solomon, it is difficult not to suspect that the word "daughter" is here used in the less strict sense of granddaughter or descendant. In &nbsp;1 Chronicles 27:18, we find mention of "ELIHU, of the brethren of David," as "ruler" ( '''''נָגַיד''''' ) or "prince" ( '''''שִׂר''''' ) of the tribe of Judah. According to the ancient [[Hebrew]] tradition preserved by [[Jerome]] ''(Quaest. Hebr.'' ad loc.), this Elihu was identical with Eliab. "Brethren" is, however, often used in the sense of kinsman, e.g. &nbsp;1 Chronicles 12:2. </p> <p> '''5.''' The third of the Gadite heroes who joined David in his stronghold in the wilderness (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 12:9). B.C. 1061; </p> <p> '''6.''' A Levite in the time pf David, who was both a "porter" ( '''''שׁוֹעֵר''''' , ''Shoer,'' i.e. a door-keeper) and a musician on the "psaltery" (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 15:18; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 15:20; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 16:5). B.C. 1013. </p> <p> '''7.''' Son of Nathanael, one of the forefathers of Judith, and therefore belonging to the tribe of [[Simeon]] (&nbsp;Judith 8:1). </p>
