Pelet is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogies of the Old Testament. His name, which means "deliverance" or "escape" in Hebrew, appears in the context of the tribal lineage of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Pelet is noted in the genealogical records as a descendant of Judah, providing insight into the familial lines that played a role in the history of Israel.

Biblical References:

1. 1 Chronicles 2:47 · Pelet is mentioned as a descendant of Jahdai. The verse states: "The sons of Jahdai: Regem, Jotham, Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Shaaph." This passage is part of a larger genealogical record that traces the lineage of the tribe of Judah, highlighting the various families and their descendants. Pelet's inclusion in this list underscores the importance of family heritage and the continuity of the Israelite tribes.

2. 1 Chronicles 12:3 · Pelet is also identified as one of the mighty men who joined David at Ziklag. The verse reads: "Ahiezer their chief, and Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet, the sons of Azmaveth; Beracah, Jehu the Anathothite." This reference places Pelet among the valiant warriors who supported David during his time of need, demonstrating loyalty and courage. These men were instrumental in establishing David's rule and securing his kingdom.

Historical and Theological Significance:

Pelet's mention in the genealogies and as a warrior in David's army highlights the interconnectedness of family lineage and divine purpose in the biblical narrative. The genealogical records in 1 Chronicles serve not only as historical documentation but also as a testament to God's faithfulness in preserving the line of Judah, from which the Messiah, Jesus Christ, would eventually come.

The inclusion of Pelet among David's mighty men emphasizes the theme of divine providence and the gathering of individuals who played crucial roles in the establishment of Israel's monarchy. These men, including Pelet, were part of God's plan to support and protect David, the anointed king, who was a man after God's own heart (1 Samuel 13:14).

Pelet's account, though brief, is a reminder of the importance of faithfulness and courage in the service of God's chosen leaders. His presence in the biblical record serves as an example of how individuals, regardless of their prominence, contribute to the unfolding of God's redemptive history.Pelet
