Eliathah

ELIATHAH ĭ lī’ ə thə (אֱלִיאָ֤תָה, LXX ̓Ηλιαθα, God comes). One of the sons of Heman, the king’s seer, who was set apart for the Temple service. Under the direction of their father they participated in Temple service with cymbals, harps, and lyres (1 Chron 25:4). The assignment of duty was done by lot. The twentieth lot fell to Eliathah, his sons and his brothers (25:27).
