Le retourLeaderc. 500 BC
Elioenai (also spelled Elioenaj) was a descendant of King David through the line of Zerubbabel, mentioned in the Books of Chronicles. He belonged to the royal lineage during the period after the exile in Babylon and represents the continuity of David's line following the return to Judah. The name means 'my eyes are turned toward the Lord'.
The genealogies in Chronicles show how David's line was preserved through generations from Zerubbabel up to Elhoenai, as a sign of God's faithfulness to His promises.
