Eluzai
The name "Eluzai" is of Hebrew origin, possibly meaning "God is my strength." This name reflects a common theme in Hebrew culture, where names often signify a relationship with God or a divine attribute. The inclusion of Eluzai in this list highlights the importance of recognizing God's strength in the lives of His followers. In a broader spiritual context, it serves as a reminder that believers are called to rely on God's strength rather than their own.

Jerimoth
The name "Jerimoth" can be translated as "He is Most High" or "He is exalted." This name underscores the sovereignty and exaltation of God, a central tenet in the faith of Israel. Historically, names like Jerimoth would remind the Israelites of their duty to honor and exalt God above all else. In the Christian life, this serves as an encouragement to continually lift God high in our thoughts, words, and actions.

Bealiah
"Bealiah" means "Yahweh is Lord" or "Yahweh is my Baal." The use of "Baal" here is not in reference to the Canaanite deity but rather as a term meaning "lord" or "master." This name is a declaration of allegiance to Yahweh as the true Lord. In the context of 1 Chronicles, it reflects the commitment of the warriors to serve under the banner of the one true God, a commitment that is echoed in the lives of Christians who acknowledge Jesus as Lord.

Shemariah
The name "Shemariah" translates to "Guarded by Yahweh" or "Yahweh has kept." This name speaks to the protective nature of God over His people. In the historical context of the Chronicles, it reassures the Israelites of God's ongoing protection and faithfulness. For believers today, it is a comforting reminder of God's promise to guard and keep His children through all circumstances.

Shephatiah
"Shephatiah" means "Yahweh has judged" or "Yahweh is judge." This name emphasizes the justice and righteousness of God. In the biblical narrative, it serves as a reminder that God is the ultimate judge who will bring about justice in His perfect timing. For Christians, it is a call to trust in God's righteous judgment and to live lives that reflect His justice and mercy.

the Haruphite
The term "Haruphite" likely refers to a clan or family group, possibly linked to a geographical location or a notable ancestor. The inclusion of such identifiers in the genealogical and military lists of Chronicles serves to root the narrative in real history and lineage. It highlights the importance of community and heritage in the biblical worldview. For modern believers, it underscores the value of being part of a spiritual family and the legacy of faith passed down through generations.

(5) Jerimoth.--A Benjamite name (1Chronicles 7:7-8).

Bealiah.--Baal is Jah. (Comp. Note on 1Chronicles 8:33.) Such names indicate that "Baal" was once a title of the God of Israel.

The Haruphite.--Nehemiah 7:24 mentions the "sons of Hariph" just before the "sons of Gibeon." The Hebrew margin here is "Hariphite."

Verse 5. - Jerimoth. This name is found also among Benjamites (1 Chronicles 7:8). Bealiah. This name comprises both the word Baal, and Jah! Haruphite. The Masoretic word is חחֲרִיפי (Nehemiah 7:34). The sons of Hariph (Nehemiah 7:24) may have belonged to the tribe of Benjamin.
