The name Eliel means "My God is God" or "God is my God," reflecting a theophoric element common in Hebrew names, which often express devotion or attributes of God.<br><br>1. <b>Eliel the Levite</b>: One of the notable figures named Eliel is a Levite mentioned in the genealogies of the tribe of Levi. In <a href="/1_chronicles/6-34.htm">1 Chronicles 6:34</a> , Eliel is listed as a descendant of Kohath, the son of Levi, indicating his role in the Levitical priesthood, which was responsible for the religious and liturgical duties in the Tabernacle and later the Temple in Jerusalem.<br><br>2. <b>Eliel the Benjaminite</b>: Another Eliel is mentioned among the mighty warriors of the tribe of Benjamin who joined David at Ziklag. In <a href="/1_chronicles/12-11.htm">1 Chronicles 12:11</a> , Eliel is listed as one of the valiant men who supported David during his time of need, demonstrating loyalty and courage. This Eliel is part of the group that helped solidify David's kingship over Israel.<br><br>3. <b>Eliel the Gadite</b>: In <a href="/1_chronicles/5-24.htm">1 Chronicles 5:24</a> , Eliel is identified as a leader of the tribe of Gad. The Gadites were known for their military prowess, and Eliel, as a chief, would have played a significant role in the defense and leadership of his tribe. This Eliel is noted for his valor and leadership qualities.<br><br>4. <b>Eliel the Manassite</b>: In <a href="/1_chronicles/5-24.htm">1 Chronicles 5:24</a> , another Eliel is mentioned as a leader of the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan. This Eliel, like his Gadite counterpart, was recognized for his leadership and strength, contributing to the stability and governance of his people.<br><br>5. <b>Eliel the Ephraimite</b>: In <a href="/1_chronicles/7-8.htm">1 Chronicles 7:8</a> , Eliel is listed among the descendants of Ephraim. This genealogical record highlights the continuity and heritage of the tribe of Ephraim, one of the prominent tribes of Israel.<br><br>The various individuals named Eliel in the Bible reflect the common practice of using theophoric names to express faith and identity within the Israelite community. Each Eliel, whether a warrior, leader, or priest, played a role in the unfolding narrative of Israel's history, contributing to the spiritual and temporal life of the nation. The recurrence of the name across different tribes and roles underscores the shared cultural and religious heritage of the Israelites, unified by their devotion to God.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Eliel</span><p>God, my God<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Eliel</span><p>(<i>to whom God is strength</i>). <ol> <li>One of the heads of the tribe of Manasseh on the east of Jordan.
