ELIEL ĭ lī’ əl (אֱלִיאֵ֡ל, My God is God). The name of nine or perhaps ten different men in the OT. 1. An ancestor of Heman, a Kohathite (1 Chron 6:34). He was the great-grandfather of Samuel who was the grandfather of Heman, a singer appointed in David’s day for the service of song in the house of the Lord.
