The name Elishama means "God has heard," which reflects the importance of divine intervention and communication in the lives of biblical figures. Elishama is also mentioned in <a href="/2_samuel/5-16.htm">2 Samuel 5:16</a> and <a href="/1_chronicles/14-7.htm">1 Chronicles 14:7</a>, indicating his place in the royal family. His name is a reminder of God's attentiveness to the prayers and needs of His people.<p><b>Eliada</b><br>Eliada, another son of David, is sometimes referred to as Beeliada in <a href="/1_chronicles/14-7.htm">1 Chronicles 14:7</a>. The name Eliada means "God knows," emphasizing the omniscience of God. This name change might reflect a cultural or religious shift, as "Baal" was a common name for a deity in the region, and the change to "Eliada" could signify a return to a more Yahweh-centered identity. Eliada's inclusion in the genealogy underscores the importance of David's lineage in the history of Israel.<p><b>and Eliphelet</b><br>Eliphelet, also a son of David, means "God is deliverance." This name highlights the theme of deliverance and salvation that runs throughout the Bible, pointing to God's role as a savior. Eliphelet is mentioned in <a href="/2_samuel/5-16.htm">2 Samuel 5:16</a> and <a href="/1_chronicles/14-7.htm">1 Chronicles 14:7</a>, reinforcing his place in the royal family. The repetition of his name in the genealogies serves to emphasize the continuity and stability of David's line.<p><b>—nine in all.</b><br>The phrase "nine in all" refers to the total number of sons born to David in Jerusalem, as listed in this passage.
