Ilai

People · Updated 2026-05-07

Ilai is one of David's mighty men, named in a single verse and identified only by his clan.

An Ahohite Warrior

He appears in the muster of David's champions in 1 Chronicles, listed without exploit or genealogy: "Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite," (1Ch 11:29). The Ahohite designation places him with the family of Ahoah, the same clan that produced other warriors in David's roster. Beyond his name and clan, the text records nothing further about him.
