Eliphelet

Eliphelet (also Elpelet), the name of several men; among them a son of David born in Jerusalem (2 Samuel 5:16) and one of David's mighty men (2 Samuel 23:34). It means "my God delivers".

Translation note

In this list the names Elishama and Eliphelet appear twice (verses 6 and 8); 2 Samuel 5:15 has “Elishua” instead of the first Elishama and does not have the first Eliphelet or Nogah.
