Elishama
Elishama, meaning "God has heard," is a name that reflects the faith and reliance on God prevalent in the culture of ancient Israel. This name is significant as it underscores the belief in a God who listens to the prayers and needs of His people. Elishama is also a name found in other parts of the Bible, such as in the genealogy of the tribe of Ephraim (1 Chronicles 7:26). The repetition of this name in different contexts highlights its importance and the common practice of naming children with the hope of divine favor and intervention.

Beeliada
Beeliada, meaning "Baal knows," is an interesting name given the context of Israel's history with Baal worship. This name suggests a period when syncretism, or the blending of religious beliefs, might have been present in Israel. However, it is important to note that in 1 Chronicles 14:7, Beeliada is also referred to as Eliada in 2 Samuel 5:16, which means "God knows." This change in name could reflect a later editorial decision to emphasize monotheism and the worship of Yahweh alone, distancing from any association with Baal, a Canaanite deity. This highlights the ongoing struggle in Israel's history to maintain pure worship of Yahweh amidst surrounding pagan influences.

and Eliphelet
Eliphelet, meaning "God is deliverance," is a name that encapsulates a central theme of the biblical narrative: God's ability to save and deliver His people. This name is a testament to the hope and trust placed in God by the Israelites. Eliphelet is also mentioned in other genealogies, such as in 1 Chronicles 3:8, where he is listed among the sons of David born in Jerusalem. The recurrence of this name in the royal lineage underscores the importance of acknowledging God's role as a deliverer, a theme that resonates throughout the Old Testament and finds its ultimate fulfillment in the New Testament with the coming of Jesus Christ, who is seen as the ultimate deliverer and savior.

2. Beeliada

Also a son of David, whose name means "God is deliverance." This name underscores the belief in God's power to save and deliver His people.

Teaching Points
The Importance of Names

God's Faithfulness to His Promises
The birth of David's sons in Jerusalem is a testament to God's faithfulness in establishing David's line, which ultimately leads to the birth of Jesus Christ. Trust in God's promises and His timing in your life.

Cultural Context and Understanding
The name Beeliada may seem unusual given the later negative associations with Baal. This highlights the importance of understanding the cultural and historical context of biblical events and names.

Legacy and Influence
David's legacy is not only in his military and political achievements but also in his family. Consider the legacy you are building and the influence you have on future generations.
