1. A descendant of Shubael or Shebuel, of the family of Gershom, who appears to have been head of a division of the Levitical Temple attendants as arranged by David (1Ch_24:20; comp. 23:16). B.C. 1014.

3. (Sept. É᾿åúήë or É᾿åéήë , but v.r. É᾿áäéήë in 1Ch_16:5.) One of the Levites “of the second degree” appointed by David to execute the music on the occasion of the removal of the ark to Jerusalem (1Ch_15:18-20, in which latter passage they are said to have performed “with psalteries on Alamoth”). He is apparently the same with the person mentioned (1Ch_15:24) by the synonymous name JEHIAH, although; from the similar collocation of names, others have confounded this with the JEIEL of ch. 1Ch_16:5, a name of different signification. He is probably identical with the one named as chief amongst the three descendants of Laadan (i.e. Libni) arranged by David in charge of the Temple porters (1Ch_23:8, and hence likewise with the Gershonite with whom were deposited the gems offered by the people for the sacred structures and utensils (1Ch_29:8). B.C. 1043-1014. It is doubtless his descendants who were called JEHIELITES (Hebrew Yechieli, éְçַéàֵìַé Sept. É᾿åéήë , A.V. “Jehieli,” 1Ch_26:21-22).

B.C. cir. 1030. “The mention of Ahithophel (1Ch_27:33) seems to fix the date of this list. as before the revolt. In Jerome's Qucest. lebraicce on this passage, Jehiel is said to be David's son Chileab or Daniel; and ‘Achamoni,' interpreted as Sapientissi mus, is taken as an alias of David himself” (Smith).

5. (Sept. É᾿åúήë ) The second-named of the six sons of king Jehoshaphat (2Ch_21:2), exclusive of his first-born and heir, Jehoram, who, on his accession, murdered all his brothers (2Ch_21:4). B.C. 887.

6. (Sept. É᾿åúήë ) A descendant of Heman, and one of the Levites who assisted Hezekiah in his reformation of the public religion (2Ch_29:14, where the Hebrew text has éְçåּàֵì , Vechuel'), and who eventually was appointed one of the superintendents. of the sacred offerings (31:13). B.C. 726.
