About Izliah
Izliah is mentioned briefly in 1Ch.8.18 as one of the sons of Elpaal, a Benjamite. He is listed among the descendants of Benjamin who lived in Jerusalem. The name Izliah means "God delivers" in Hebrew. No further details about Izliah's life or role are provided in the Bible. His mention in the genealogy of Benjamin suggests that he was part of the Benjamite clan that resided in Jerusalem, but his specific contributions or significance are not recorded in the biblical text.
