The attested forms function as a personal name: they occur in a list of Heman's sons and again in a numbered assignment identified by that name.

Senses in use

  1. Personal name in a family list and assignment · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 25:4 the form appears in the list introduced as Heman's sons, and the APB renders the list with “Eliathah”; in 1 Chronicles 25:27 the form identifies the twentieth assignment, rendered “The twentieth for Eliathah, his sons and his brothers—twelve.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Eliathah” in both verses: once within Heman's list of sons and once in the wording for the twentieth assignment. The verse is read as a whole, but both clauses plainly retain the proper name.
