Eliada, personal name ('God knows') borne by a son of David and other figures
A theophoric name meaning 'God knows,' compounded from 'el (God) and yada' (to know). It is borne by at least three individuals: a son of David born in Jerusalem (2 Sam 5:16; 1 Chr 3:8), who is also called Beeliada ('the Lord knows') in 1 Chr 14:7; the father of Rezon, an adversary of Solomon (1 Kgs 11:23); and a Benjaminite military commander under Jehoshaphat (2 Chr 17:17). The variant Beeliada replacing 'el with ba'al likely reflects later scribal sensitivity to the name Ba'al.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The personal name Eliada, 'God knows.' David's son bears this name (2 Sam 5:16; 1 Chr 3:8), with the alternate form Beeliada in 1 Chr 14:7 — a telling substitution where ba'al ('lord/master') replaces 'el ('God'), probably reflecting later editorial avoidance of the divine title Ba'al. The name also belongs to the father of Rezon who opposed Solomon (1 Kgs 11:23) and a Benjaminite captain commanding 200,000 warriors (2 Chr 17:17). English, Spanish, French, and German all transliterate consistently as 'Eliada' or 'Elyada.' 4×
