His name, meaning "My God is Yahweh," reflects the theocentric nature of Hebrew names, often serving as a testament to the faith and religious identity of the individual or their family.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Eliah is mentioned in the genealogical records found in the Book of 1 Chronicles. Specifically, he appears in the lineage of the tribe of Benjamin, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the historical and familial context of the tribes of Israel, emphasizing the continuity of God's covenant with His people.<br><br><a href="/1_chronicles/8-27.htm">1 Chronicles 8:27</a> states: "Jaareshiah, Elijah, and Zichri were the sons of Jeroham." Here, Eliah is listed among the descendants of Jeroham, indicating his place within the broader family structure of the tribe of Benjamin.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Context:</b> <br>The genealogies in 1 Chronicles were compiled after the Babylonian exile, during a time when the Israelites were re-establishing their identity and heritage. These records were crucial for maintaining tribal affiliations and land inheritances, as well as for affirming the fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs.<br><br>Eliah's inclusion in these genealogies underscores the importance of family lineage in the Hebrew tradition. It also highlights the faithfulness of God in preserving His people through generations, despite the challenges and disruptions they faced, such as the exile.<br><br><b>Significance in the Tribe of Benjamin:</b> <br>The tribe of Benjamin holds a unique place in Israel's history. It was the tribe of Israel's first king, Saul, and later became part of the Southern Kingdom of Judah after the division of the united monarchy. The Benjaminites were known for their valor and skill in battle, as well as their loyalty to the Davidic line.<br><br>Eliah, as a member of this tribe, would have been part of a community with a strong sense of identity and purpose. The Benjaminites played a significant role in the history of Israel, contributing to both its military and spiritual heritage.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While Eliah is not a prominent figure in biblical narratives, his mention in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of God's people and the enduring nature of His covenant. Through individuals like Eliah, the biblical text weaves a tapestry of faith, heritage, and divine promise that continues to inspire and instruct believers today.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Eliah</span><p>God the Lord<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Eliah</span><p>(<i>my God is Jehovah</i>). <ol> <li>A Benjamite, a chief man of the tribe.
