David's Royal Inheritance

As one of David's many sons, Elifelet was part of the Davidic dynasty that God promised to establish forever through His covenant with David.

12When your days are done and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom.
כִּ֣י ׀ יִמְלְא֣וּ יָמֶ֗יךָ וְשָֽׁכַבְתָּ֙ אֶת־אֲבֹתֶ֔יךָ וַהֲקִימֹתִ֤י אֶֽת־זַרְעֲךָ֙ אַחֲרֶ֔יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר יֵצֵ֖א מִמֵּעֶ֑יךָ וַהֲכִינֹתִ֖י אֶת־מַמְלַכְתּֽוֹ׃ ‬
13He is the one who will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
ה֥וּא יִבְנֶה־בַּ֖יִת לִשְׁמִ֑י וְכֹנַנְתִּ֛י אֶת־כִּסֵּ֥א מַמְלַכְתּ֖וֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ ‬
16Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before you; your throne will be established forever.'"
וְנֶאְמַ֨ן בֵּיתְךָ֧ וּמַֽמְלַכְתְּךָ֛ עַד־עוֹלָ֖ם לְפָנֶ֑יךָ כִּֽסְאֲךָ֔ יִהְיֶ֥ה נָכ֖וֹן עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ ‬

Two Sons with the Same Name

6and Ibhar, Elishama, Eliphelet,[^1] [^1]: The names Elishama and Eliphelet appear again in verse 8; parallel lists elsewhere read Elishua here.
וְיִבְחָ֥ר וֶאֱלִישָׁמָ֖ע וֶאֱלִיפָֽלֶט׃ ‬
8Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet—nine in all.
וֶאֱלִישָׁמָ֧ע וְאֶלְיָדָ֛ע וֶאֱלִיפֶ֖לֶט תִּשְׁעָֽה׃ ‬
