Elishama
Elishama, meaning "God has heard," is one of the sons of King David born in Jerusalem. The name reflects a common theme in biblical names, emphasizing God's attentiveness to human affairs. Elishama's inclusion in the list of David's sons highlights the expansion of David's family and the establishment of his dynasty in Jerusalem, the city of David. This name also appears in other parts of the Old Testament, such as in the genealogy of the tribe of Ephraim (1 Chronicles 7:26), indicating its popularity and significance in Israelite culture. The name underscores the importance of divine communication and response, a theme prevalent throughout David's life and reign.

Eliada
Eliada, meaning "God knows," is another son of David. This name emphasizes God's omniscience and the belief that God is aware of all things, including the future of David's lineage. Eliada's name is significant in the context of David's kingship, as it reflects the divine favor and knowledge that guided David's rule. The name also appears in other biblical contexts, such as in 1 Kings 11:23, where Eliada is a leader of a group of adversaries against Solomon, David's son. This dual appearance of the name suggests a commonality in naming practices and the theological emphasis on God's knowledge and oversight in the affairs of Israel.

Eliphelet
Eliphelet, meaning "God is deliverance," is another son of David. This name highlights the theme of divine deliverance, a central aspect of David's life, as seen in his numerous psalms and prayers for God's intervention and salvation. The name Eliphelet is also found in other genealogies, such as in 1 Chronicles 3:8, where it is listed among David's sons. The emphasis on deliverance is particularly relevant in the context of David's reign, as he often faced threats from both internal and external enemies. The name serves as a reminder of God's role as a deliverer and protector of His people, a theme that resonates throughout the biblical narrative and finds its ultimate fulfillment in the person of Jesus Christ, who is seen as the ultimate deliverer and savior.
