- One of David's brothers, the eldest of the family (1 Chronicles 2:13; 1 Samuel 16:6; 17:13,28). In 1 Chronicles 27:18 mention is made of a certain Elihu as one of the brothers of David. But "Elihu" is probably a variant for "Eliab" (comp. Jerome, "Quæstiones Hebraicæ," ad loc.).

- One of the warlike Gadite leaders who came to David when he was in the wilderness (1 Chronicles 12:9).
