Attai the sixth
The name "Attai" is derived from the Hebrew root "עַתַּי" (Attay), which can mean "timely" or "ready." In the context of 1 Chronicles 12, Attai is listed among the mighty warriors who joined David at Ziklag. This highlights the readiness and willingness of these men to support David, God's anointed king, during a critical time. The mention of "the sixth" indicates his position in the order of warriors, suggesting a structured and organized group, reflecting the divine order and purpose in God's plans. Historically, these warriors were part of a larger movement of support for David, which was crucial for his eventual establishment as king over all Israel.

Eliel the seventh
The name "Eliel" comes from the Hebrew "אֱלִיאֵל" (Eli'el), meaning "My God is God" or "God is my God." This name signifies a deep personal relationship with God, emphasizing faith and devotion. Being "the seventh" in the list may symbolize completeness or perfection, as the number seven often represents in biblical literature. Eliel's inclusion among David's supporters underscores the spiritual commitment and loyalty of those who aligned themselves with David, recognizing God's hand in his leadership. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's sovereignty and the fulfillment of His promises through chosen individuals and their communities.
