Eliel
Who he was
Eliel is mentioned briefly in 2 Chronicles 31:13 as one of the Levites who served as an overseer during the reign of King Hezekiah. Hezekiah was known for his religious reforms and his efforts to restore proper worship in Judah. As part of these reforms, Hezekiah appointed Levites to oversee the collection and distribution of tithes and offerings brought to the temple. Eliel was one of the Levites entrusted with this responsibility. His role as an overseer highlights the importance of the Levites in maintaining the temple's functioning and ensuring the proper use of the offerings.
