☩Descendants of This Name
Two men named Eleasah (the same Hebrew name as Elasah) appear in Chronicles. The first was a descendant of Judah, son of Helez, in the family of Hezron. The second was a Benjamite, son of Rapha (or Rephaiah), in the line of King Saul through Jonathan and Mephibosheth. This name, meaning 'whom God made,' was evidently popular in Israel.
