ELIAB (‘God is father’).—1. The representative, or ‘prince,’ of the tribe of Zebulun, who assisted Moses and Aaron in numbering the children of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai (Num_1:1 ff.). 2. The father of Dathan and Abiram (Num_16:1). 3. The eldest brother of David, and thought by Samuel to have been destined for kingship in Israel on account of his beauty and stature (1Sa_16:6-7). He is mentioned as being a warrior in the Israelite camp on the occasion of Goliath’s challenge to and defiance of the armies of Israel; he rebukes his younger brother David for his presumption in mixing himself up with the affairs of the army; his attitude towards David, after the victory of the latter over Goliath, is not mentioned. 4. One of the musicians who were appointed by the Levites, at David’s command, to accompany the procession which was formed on the occasion of bringing the ark from the house of Obededom up to Jerusalem (1Ch_15:18). 5. One of the Gadites who joined David, during his outlaw life, in the hold in the wilderness (1Ch_12:9). 6. An ancestor of Samuel (1Ch_6:27; see Elihu No. 1). 7. One of Judith’s ancestors (Jdt_8:1).

Eliab betrayed anger without a cause toward David, when seeking his brethren's welfare ("Why camest thou down hither, and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness?"); also "pride and naughtiness of heart," the very sins he charged David with ("I know thy pride," etc.; he knew himself still less than he did David); uncharitable surmising instead of the love that thinketh no evil ("thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle".) David meekly replied, "Is there not a cause?" (see Mat_5:22; 1Co_13:4-7.) 1Co_13:4. A Levite porter and musician on the psaltery (1Ch_15:18; 1Ch_15:20; 1Ch_16:5).

Eliab
[usually Eli'ab] (Heb). Eliab', אֶלַיאָב, to whom God is father; Sept. Ε᾿λιάβ, Vulg. Eliab), the name of seven men. 1. A Reubenite, son of Pallu or Phallu, whose family was one of the principal in the tribe, and father or progenitor of Dathan and Abiram, the leaders in the revolt against Moses (Num_26:8-9; Num_16:1; Num_16:12; Deu_11:6). B.C. post. 1856. Eliab had another son named Nemuel; and the record of Num_26:1-65 is interrupted expressly to admit a statement regarding his sons.
2. A son of Helen, and phylarch of the tribe of Zebulun at the time of the census in the wilderness of Sinai (Num_1:9; Num_2:7; Num_7:24; Num_7:29; Num_10:16). B.C. 1657.
3. An ancestor of Samuel (q.v.) the prophet, being a Kohathite Levite, son of Nahath and father of Jeroham (1Ch_6:27 [12]). B.C. cir. 1250. In the other statements of the genealogy this name appears to be given as ELIHU SEE ELIHU (1Sa_1:1) and ELIEL SEE ELIEL (1Ch_6:34 [19]).
4. The eldest son of Jesse and brother of David (1Sa_16:6; 1Sa_17:13; 1Ch_2:13). It was he that made the contemptuous inquiry, by which he sought to screen his own cowardice, when David proposed to fight Goliath, "With whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness?" (1Sa_17:28.) B.C. 1063. His daughter Abihail married her second cousin Rehoboam, and bore him three children (2Ch_11:18); although, taking into account the length of the reigns of David and Solomon, it is difficult not to suspect that the word "daughter" is here used in the less strict sense of granddaughter or descendant. In 1Ch_27:18, we find mention of "ELIHU, of the brethren of David," as "ruler" (נָגַיד) or "prince" (שִׂר) of the tribe of Judah. According to the ancient Hebrew tradition preserved by Jerome (Quaest. Hebr. ad loc.), this Elihu was identical with Eliab. "Brethren" is, however, often used in the sense of kinsman, e.g. 1Ch_12:2.
5. The third of the Gadite heroes who joined David in his stronghold in the wilderness (1Ch_12:9). B.C. 1061;
6. A Levite in the time pf David, who was both a "porter" (שׁוֹעֵר, shoer, i.e. a door-keeper) and a musician on the "psaltery" (1Ch_15:18; 1Ch_15:20; 1Ch_16:5). B.C. 1013.
7. Son of Nathanael, one of the forefathers of Judith, and therefore belonging to the tribe of Simeon (Jdt_8:1).
