About Elpelet
Elpelet, also referred to as Eliphelet, is mentioned in the genealogies of King David's children born in Jerusalem (1Ch.14.5; 3.6). He was one of the sons born to David after he had established himself as king over Israel and had conquered Jerusalem. The name Elpelet appears in the list of David's sons in 1Chronicles 14, while the name Eliphelet is used in the genealogy of David's descendants in 1Chronicles 3. This suggests that the two names refer to the same individual.
