ELIEZER (cf. Eleazar). 1. Abraham’s chief servant, a Damascene ( Genesis 15:2 AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] . The construction here is difficult, but the words can hardly be rendered as a double proper name as RV [Note: Revised Version.] , ‘Dammesek Eliezer.’ Whatever the exact construction, the words, unless there is a corruption in the text, must be intended to suggest that Eliezer was in some way connected with Damascus). This same Eliezer is prob. the servant referred to in Genesis 24:2 . A son of Moses by Zipporah; so named to commemorate the deliverance of Moses from Pharaoh ( Exodus 18:4 , 1 Chronicles 23:15; 1 Chronicles 23:17 ). 3. The son of Becher, a Benjamite ( 1 Chronicles 7:8 ). 4. The son of Zichri, captain of the tribe of Reuben in David’s reign ( 1 Chronicles 27:16 ). 5.

One of the ‘chief men’ whom Ezra sent to Casiphia to find Levites and Nethinim to join the expedition to Jerusalem ( Ezra 8:16 f. [= 1Es 8:43 Eleazar ]). 7. 8. 9. A priest, a Levite, and a son of Harim, who had married ‘strange women’ ( Ezra 10:18 .
