JEDIAEL
        1. A patriarch of Benjamite heads of houses whose sons numbered 17,200 mighty men in David's days (1 Chronicles 7:6,11). Identified with Ashbel (Genesis 46:21). But Jediael may have been a later descendant from Benjamin who, by superior fruitfulness of his house, superseded an elder branch (Ashbel's) whose issue failed.
        2. Tabernacle doorkeeper under David (1 Chronicles 26:1,2). 1 Chronicles 11:45.
        3. Joined David, from Manasseh, on his way to Ziklag just before the battle of Gilboa; he helped David against the Amalekites (1 Chronicles 12:20; 1 Samuel 29-30).
