Eliam [N] [H] [S]

God's people.

  • The father of Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah ( 2 Samuel 11:3 ). In 1 Chronicles 3:5 his name is Ammiel.

  • This name also occurs as that of a Gilonite, the son of Ahithophel, and one of David's thirty warriors ( 2 Samuel 23:34 ). perhaps these two were the same person.
