E'lead (Hebrews Eled , אֶלעָד, whom God has applauded; Sept., Ε᾿λεάδ Vulg. Elad), a descendant of Ephraim (1Ch 7:21), but whether through Shuthelah (q.v.), or a son of the patriarch (the second Shuthelah being taken as a repetition of the first, and Ezer and Elead as his brothers), is not determined (see Bertheau, Comment. zu Chronik, page 82). B.C. ante 1856. Perhaps he is the same with ELADAH SEE ELADAH (q.v.) in the preceding verse, who appears to have survived, if identical with ERAN (Nu 26:36).
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
