A Benjamite ancestor mentioned in Chronicles' genealogies, with a name that likely means 'God of doing' or 'God has acted.' The name follows typical Hebrew theophoric patterns, embedding a confession of divine agency into personal identity. Chronicles preserves this name as part of Benjamin's post-exilic family records, maintaining tribal memory through careful genealogical documentation. Like many names in genealogical lists, Elpaal himself receives no narrative elaboration, yet his name testifies to his family's faith that God acts purposefully in history.
