Eliphalet

/ɪˈlɪfələt/ noun

Definition

A biblical name appearing in the Old Testament; also spelled Eliphelet.

Etymology

From Hebrew Elifelet, meaning 'God is deliverance' or 'God is my judge,' composed of El (God) + roots suggesting judgment or rescue. A less common biblical name than many others.

Kelly Says

Eliphalet was a son of King David in biblical texts, yet he barely appears in the narrative—one of many biblical characters who receive names rich with theological meaning but almost no story, making them mysterious figures.
