Jehi'el is a name found in several instances throughout the Old Testament, signifying "God lives" or "God's life." The name is associated with various individuals, each playing distinct roles in the history and religious life of Israel. Below are the notable mentions of Jehi'el in the Scriptures:

1. Jehi'el, the Levite Musician: One of the most prominent mentions of Jehi'el is as a Levite musician during the time of King David. He was among those appointed to play musical instruments in the service of the house of the Lord. In 1 Chronicles 15:18, Jehi'el is listed as one of the musicians who played the harp during the transportation of the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem: "and with them their relatives of the second rank: Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Eliphelehu, Mikneiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers."

2. Jehi'el, the Overseer of the Treasury: Another Jehi'el is mentioned as an overseer of the treasury in the house of God during the reign of King David. In 1 Chronicles 26:21-22, Jehi'el is identified as a descendant of Ladan, a Gershonite: "The sons of Ladan: Jehiel the first, Zetham, and Joel—three in all. These were the heads of the families of Ladan the Gershonite."

3. Jehi'el, the Father of Gibeon: In 1 Chronicles 9:35, Jehi'el is noted as the father of Gibeon, a city in the territory of Benjamin: "Jeiel the father of Gibeon lived in Gibeon. His wife’s name was Maacah."

4. Jehi'el, the Teacher of the Law: During the reign of King Jehoshaphat, Jehi'el is mentioned as one of the Levites sent to teach the Law of the Lord in the cities of Judah. This is recorded in 2 Chronicles 17:8: "accompanied by certain Levites—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah—and with them the Levites Elishama and Jehoram."

5. Jehi'el, the Son of Hachmoni: In 1 Chronicles 27:32, Jehi'el is described as the son of Hachmoni and a counselor to King David, serving as a tutor to the king's sons: "Jonathan, David’s uncle, was a counselor; he was a man of insight and a scribe. Jehiel son of Hachmoni attended the king’s sons."

The various individuals named Jehi'el reflect the diverse roles and responsibilities within the religious and civic life of ancient Israel. From musicians and treasurers to teachers and counselors, each Jehi'el contributed to the spiritual and administrative functions of the nation, underscoring the importance of faithful service in different capacities.Jehi'el (12 Occurrences)
