Bible Person

Eliadah

Male · 1 cross reference

Eliadah is the father of Rezon and belongs to the Aramean background of a rival who troubles Solomon. He stands in the family setting behind one of the kingdom's external adversaries. First appears in 1 Kgs 11:23.1

AI summary: Eliadah matters because his single cross reference survives through Rezon, an opponent who helps expose the fragility of Solomon's later peace. Even a paternal notice helps anchor that hostile force in a remembered lineage. Taken together, the material presents Eliadah as a familial source behind an adversary in Solomon's reign.1
