שמואל ב, פרק כ״ג, פסוק ל״ד

The inner circle of King David's mighty warriors reveals a web of complex family and historical connections. Among these elite fighters are Eliphelet, the son of Ahasbai from Maacah, and Eliam, the son of Ahithophel from the city of Giloh. Ahithophel is widely known as David's famous advisor.

Eliam's place in this group carries an additional layer of family significance, as he was the father of Bathsheba. This specific relationship points to the idea that Eliam ultimately became the king's father-in-law entirely against his will [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
