Elah Father of Hoshea

Elah, father of Hoshea, is a 2 Kings person identified through his son in 2 Kings 15:30. The passage says that Hoshea son of Elah formed a conspiracy against Pekah son of Remaliah, struck him down, and put him to death. It then says that Hoshea took Pekah’s place. Elah himself is named in this verse as Hoshea’s father and is not otherwise named in the supplied biblical references.
