Elishama in 1 Chronicles 14:5 and 2 Samuel 5:15 Elishua, no doubt the right reading, for otherwise (cp. 1 Chronicles 3:8) we have two sons of David named Elishama.

Eliphelet in 1 Chronicles 14:5 (R.V.) Elpelet; in 2 Samuel 5:15 the name is wanting. Elipheletcannot be right, for it re-occurs as the name of the thirteenth son in 1 Chronicles 3:8. On the other hand Elpeletmay be right here and Elipheletin 1 Chronicles 3:8, for according to Hebrew custom two brothers might bear names of similar sound and significance.
