Listen from:
1. Son of Helon, and leader of the tribe of Zebulun at the time of the census being taken at Sinai (Num. 1:9; Num. 2:7; Num. 7:24,29; Num. 10:16).
2. Son of Pallu, a Reubenite, and father of Dathan and Abiram (Num. 16:1,12; Num. 26:8-9; Deut. 11:6).
3. Eldest son of Jesse, and brother of David (1 Sam. 16:6; 1 Sam. 17:13,28; 1 Chron. 2:13; 2 Chron. 11:18). Perhaps the same as Elihu in 1 Chronicles 27:18.
4. A Gadite leader who was with David in the wilderness (1 Chron. 12:9).
5. Levite musician and door keeper in the time of David (1 Chron. 15:18,20; 1 Chron. 16:5).
6. Ancestor of Samuel, a Kohathite (1 Chron. 6:27). Apparently called ELIEL in 1 Chronicles 6:34, and ELIHU in 1 Samuel 1:1.
