Old Testament
Pelet
A descendant of Caleb mentioned in the genealogies of Judah and a Benjamite warrior who joined David at Ziklag.
The name Pelet appears twice in 1 Chronicles, likely referring to two different individuals. The first is a descendant of Caleb through his son Jahdai, while the second is a Benjamite archer who joined David's forces while he was restricted from service due to Saul. These brief mentions serve to document the lineage of Judah and the diverse tribal support David gathered during his rise to the throne.
