Eliel — theophoric personal name meaning 'my God is God,' borne by at least nine men in Chronicles
The name אֱלִיאֵל (Eliel) combines אֵל (God) twice in the construct 'my God is God,' a confession of exclusive devotion. It is borne by multiple individuals in the Chronicler's genealogies and military lists, making precise identification challenging. Notable bearers include a Manassite clan chief (1 Chr 5:24), two Benjaminites (1 Chr 8:20, 22), at least two of David's mighty warriors (1 Chr 11:46-47), a Gadite fighter (1 Chr 12:12), and Levites involved in the ark's transport (1 Chr 15:9, 11). Spanish 'Eliel' and English 'Eliel' both transliterate without alteration.

The name's frequency in post-exilic genealogies reflects the Chronicler's concern for Israelite identity. Spanish and English both preserve the transliteration 'Eliel' unchanged. 10×
