Elioenai was a descendant of David through Jeconiah, mentioned in the genealogy.
Elioenai was a post-exilic descendant of David through the line of Jeconiah (Jehoiachin), listed in the royal genealogy of 1 Chronicles 3:23 as a son of Neariah. He fathered seven sons—Hodaviah, Eliashib, Pelaiah, Akkub, Johanan, Delaiah, and Anani—whose names carry forward the Davidic line into the late exilic or post-exilic period. His genealogical position is significant for tracing the survival of the Davidic dynasty after the fall of Jerusalem.
