Old Testament
Joelah
A Benjamite warrior and descendant of Jeroham who joined David at Ziklag.
Joelah is identified in 1 Chronicles 12:7 as one of the mighty men of Benjamin who defected from Saul's house to support David. As a skilled archer and warrior, he joined David while he was still restricted from public view due to Saul. His inclusion in this list highlights the gradual transition of tribal support toward David as the divinely appointed king.
