The name Eliada, which can be translated as "God knows" or "God has known," appears in different contexts, referring to distinct individuals in the biblical record.<br><br>1. <b>Eliada, Son of David</b>: Eliada is listed as one of the sons of King David. In <a href="/2_samuel/5-16.htm">2 Samuel 5:16</a> and <a href="/1_chronicles/3-8.htm">1 Chronicles 3:8</a>, Eliada is mentioned among the children born to David in Jerusalem. The Berean Standard Bible states: "Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet." This Eliada is one of the many sons of David, born to him by his wives and concubines during his reign in Jerusalem. The mention of Eliada in these genealogical records highlights the extensive lineage of David, which played a significant role in the history of Israel and the fulfillment of God's covenant with David.<br><br>2. <b>Eliada, Father of Rezon</b>: Another Eliada is noted as the father of Rezon, who became an adversary to Solomon. In <a href="/1_kings/11-23.htm">1 Kings 11:23-25</a>, the BSB recounts: "God raised up Rezon son of Eliada as an adversary against Solomon, a leader of a band of raiders when David was king." Rezon fled from his master, Hadadezer king of Zobah, and gathered a group of followers, eventually establishing himself as a ruler in Damascus. This Eliada, through his son Rezon, contributed to the political instability during Solomon's reign, as Rezon's opposition was part of the divine judgment against Solomon for his idolatry and turning away from God.<br><br>3. <b>Eliada, a Mighty Warrior</b>: In <a href="/2_chronicles/17-17.htm">2 Chronicles 17:17</a>, Eliada is mentioned as a mighty warrior from the tribe of Benjamin who served under King Jehoshaphat of Judah. The BSB records: "From Benjamin: Eliada, a mighty warrior, with 200,000 men armed with bows and shields." This Eliada was part of the military forces that Jehoshaphat organized to strengthen the kingdom of Judah. His inclusion in the list of warriors underscores the importance of military leadership and preparedness in maintaining the security and stability of the nation.<br><br>The name Eliada, appearing in these various contexts, reflects the diverse roles individuals with this name played in the biblical narrative. Whether as a son of David, a father of an adversary, or a valiant warrior, each Eliada contributed to the unfolding account of Israel's history and God's dealings with His people.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Eliada</span><p>knowledge of God<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Eliada</span><p>(<i>known by God</i>). <ol> <li>One of David's sons; according to the lists, the youngest but one of the family born to him after his establishment in Jerusalem.
