Eliathah/Eliyatah, a Hemanite temple musician
A personal name meaning 'God has come,' borne by one of the sons of Heman the temple singer. The name appears in two forms in 1 Chronicles 25: Eliathah in verse 4 and Eliyatah in verse 27, representing the same person with variant spelling. He was assigned by lot to lead the twentieth division of temple musicians under David's reorganization of worship. The variant forms likely reflect dialectal pronunciation or scribal preference rather than distinct individuals.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Multilingual glosses preserve the prepositional difference: 'for Eliyatah' (ל prefix in verse 27) versus plain 'Eliatah' (verse 4). French and German bracket the Hebrew, while translations recognize the variants as the same person. Both occurrences within Chronicles 25 describe the temple music organization—first in the list of Heman's sons appointed to service, then in the lot-casting results assigning divisions. 2×
