He is probably to be identified with the son of Ahithophel, one of David's thirty mighty men (II Sam. 23:34; cf. 15:12; I Chron. 11:36); thus M. Sales, Il Vecchio Testamento, II, Turin 1923, pp. 313, 328; L. Desnoyers, Histoire du peuple hébreu, II, Paris 1930, pp. 210, 262, 689 note; A. Vaccari, La S. Bibbia, II, Florence 1947, p. 280, and the ancient Jewish scholar who authored the Quaestiones hebr. in libros Regum et Par.: PL 25, 1416, 1433, 1447. They make of him two distinct persons: E. Levesque, Eliam, in DB, II, col. 1668; M. Hagen, Lex. bibl., II, Paris 1907, p. 149; W. Gesenius-F. Buhl, Hebr. und aram. Handw., 17th ed., Leipzig 1921, p. 42; F. Zorell, Lex. hebr. et aram., Rome 1940 suppl., p. 47.
