"Eluzai, and Jerimoth, and Bealiah, and Shemariah, and Shephatiah the Haruphite," — 1 Chronicles 12:5 (ASV)
Jerimoth. —A Benjamite name (1 Chronicles 7:7–8).
Bealiah. — Baal is Jah. (Compare Note on 1 Chronicles 8:33.) Such names indicate that “Baal” was once a title of the God of Israel.
The Haruphite. —Nehemiah 7:24 mentions the “sons of Hariph” just before the “sons of Gibeon.” The Hebrew margin here is “Hariphite.”
