His name means "He chooses" or "He is chosen," which reflects the divine selection of David's lineage. The mention of Ibhar highlights the importance of David's descendants in the biblical narrative, as they are part of the royal line leading to Jesus Christ, fulfilling the prophecy of the Messiah coming from the house of David (<a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-16</a>).<p><b>Elishua</b><br>Elishua, another son of David, has a name meaning "God is salvation." This name underscores the theological theme of God's deliverance and salvation, which is a central message throughout the Bible. Elishua's inclusion in the list of David's sons emphasizes the continuation of God's covenant promises through David's lineage. The name also connects to the broader biblical narrative of salvation history, culminating in Jesus Christ, whose name means "The Lord saves" (<a href="/matthew/1-21.htm">Matthew 1:21</a>).<p><b>Elpelet</b><br>Elpelet, also a son of David, has a name that can be translated as "God is deliverance." This reflects the recurring biblical theme of God as the deliverer of His people. The mention of Elpelet in the genealogical record serves to reinforce the idea of divine intervention and protection over David's family. This theme is echoed throughout the Psalms, many of which were written by David, and is ultimately fulfilled in the New Testament through the life and work of Jesus Christ, who delivers humanity from sin and death (<a href="/romans/11-26.htm">Romans 11:26-27</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/ibhar.htm">Ibhar</a></b><br>One of the sons of King David, mentioned in the genealogical records.
