A theophoric personal name meaning 'Yahweh has drawn up' or 'Yahweh has delivered,' compounded from the root dalah (to draw water) and the divine name. It is borne by at least five individuals: a priestly division leader in David's time (1 Chr 24:18), a prince who urged King Jehoiakim not to burn Jeremiah's scroll (Jer 36:12, 25), a descendant of Zerubbabel in the royal line (1 Chr 3:24), the head of a family that could not prove Israelite descent after exile (Ezra 2:60 = Neh 7:62), and the father of Shemaiah in Nehemiah's day (Neh 6:10).
