Eliphelet was a descendant of King Saul from the tribe of Benjamin.
Eliphelet was a Benjamite of the lineage of King Saul, recorded in 1 Chronicles 8:39 as a son of Eleasah and a brother of Ulam and Jeush. He lived during the period of the Divided Monarchy and is preserved solely in the tribal genealogy of Benjamin. His presence in Saul's extended family register illustrates the ongoing vitality of the Saulide clan even generations after the monarchy had passed to David.
