Yediael — a proper name meaning 'known of God,' borne by a Benjamite warrior, a Davidic hero, and a Korahite gatekeeper.
A Hebrew personal name (יְדִיעֲאֵל) meaning 'known of God' or 'God knows,' carried by at least three distinct individuals in the Chronicler's records. The most prominent is a Benjamite clan leader whose descendants are enumerated among mighty warriors (1 Chr 7:6–11). Another Yediael appears among David's elite soldiers (1 Chr 11:45), likely the same Manassite captain who defected to David at Ziklag (1 Chr 12:21). A third serves as a Korahite temple gatekeeper (1 Chr 26:2). The Septuagint renders the name variously as Ιεδιηλ and Ελθειηλ, reflecting textual fluidity in the Greek transmission.

1. Yediael — The proper name Yediael (יְדִיעֲאֵל, 'known of God'), used for three or more individuals in Chronicles: a Benjamite ancestor of a warrior clan (1 Chr 7:6, 10, 11), one of David's mighty men who may also be the Manassite captain of 1 Chr 12:21, and a Korahite gatekeeper (1 Chr 26:2). English glosses render it as 'Yediael' or 'Yediaael'; Spanish and French follow with 'Jediael' and 'Jediaël' respectively, all preserving the theophoric element. 6×
