Elipheleh

Elipheleh was a Levitical musician in David's court who led worship and participated in the ark of the covenant's return to Jerusalem. His name appears in the biblical record as one who served in the tabernacle's musical ministry during Israel's golden age.

Overview

Elipheleh was a skilled musician and Levite during King David's reign, specifically mentioned as one of the singers appointed to play lyres and harps when the ark of the covenant was brought to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 15:18-21). He served alongside other musicians in leading worship and celebration of God's presence among His people.

Key Scriptures

"So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and from his brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and from the sons of Merari, Ethan the son of Kushaiah" (1 Chronicles 15:17, ESV). "And the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were to sound the cymbals of bronze..." (1 Chronicles 15:19, NASB). "These are the men whom David put in charge of the service of song in the house of the Lord" (1 Chronicles 6:31, NIV).

Application

Consider how God values worship leaders and musicians who use their talents to direct others' hearts toward Him in corporate celebration of His greatness.
