Eliam God's people. (1.) The father of Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah (2 Samuel 11:3). In 1 Chronicles 3:5 his name is Ammiel. (2.) This name also occurs as that of a Gilonite, the son of Ahithophel, and one of David's thirty warriors (2 Samuel 23:34). perhaps these two were the same person. Easton's Bible Dictionary
