Jeiel — a Hebrew proper name borne by multiple Levites, warriors, and clan leaders in Chronicles and Ezra
Ye'i'el (also spelled Ye'u'el and Ye'iel) is a proper masculine name appearing 17 times, almost exclusively in the books of Chronicles and Ezra. The name likely means 'God has gathered' or 'treasure of God,' and its multiple bearers reflect the Chronicler's concern with genealogical completeness and Levitical worship. The most frequently mentioned Jeiel is a Levitical musician appointed by David for the ark procession, who played the harp and appears repeatedly in the worship lists (1 Chr 15:18, 21; 16:5). Another Jeiel is identified as the ancestor of Saul from the Gibeonite line (1 Chr 9:35). Among the warriors, a Jeiel son of Hotham appears in David's elite thirty (1 Chr 11:44). The name surfaces in Uzziah's military administration — Jeiel the scribe kept the army muster (2 Chr 26:11) — and in Hezekiah's and Josiah's religious reforms among Levitical leaders (2 Chr 29:13; 35:9). Ezra lists a Jeiel among the returnees (Ezra 8:13) and among those who had married foreign wives (Ezra 10:43). Spanish 'Jeiel,' French 'Jeiel,' and German 'Jeiel' transliterate the name with minor variation.

1. Yeiel (proper name) — A Hebrew proper masculine name borne by at least eight distinct individuals in Chronicles and Ezra. The Levitical musician in David's ark procession is most prominent (1 Chr 15:18, 21; 16:5), alongside the Gibeonite ancestor of Saul (1 Chr 9:35), one of David's mighty warriors (1 Chr 11:44), Uzziah's military scribe (2 Chr 26:11), Levites in Hezekiah's and Josiah's reforms (2 Chr 29:13; 35:9), a Reubenite chief (1 Chr 5:7), a companion of Ezra (Ezra 8:13), and a man who took a foreign wife (Ezra 10:43). The LXX renders the name variously as Ieiel, Ioel, and Iael; the name likely means 'God has gathered' or 'treasure of God.' 17×
