Yoelah — personal name of one of David's mighty men (1 Chr 12:8)
This personal name appears once in Chronicles' roster of warriors who joined David at Ziklag. The name may derive from a root meaning 'may he avail' or 'may he profit,' reflecting a parent's hopeful prayer. Though the individual appears only in this military context, he represents one of the skilled fighters from various tribes who rallied to David before he became king.
