This Elishama entry refers to one of David's sons born in Jerusalem, not to the royal official whose son appears in Jeremiah. He belongs to the expanding royal household of the settled Davidic monarchy. First appears in 2 Sam 5:16.1
AI summary: This Elishama matters because the cross references preserve him within the Jerusalem-born generation of David's sons, reflecting dynastic growth after the kingdom is established in the capital. Even without an individual storyline, his presence helps define the breadth of David's house. Taken together, the material presents this Elishama as a Davidic prince whose place contributes to the structure of the royal family.1
