Named only once in scripture, as the link between Achim and Elazar: 'Achim begat Eliud; and Eliud begat Elazar' (Matthew 1:14–15)
“'Achim begat Eliud; and Eliud begat Elazar' (Matthew 1:14–15) — a name-pattern that echoes Aviud, six generations back”
Traditional note: See the general note on the 'silent generation' (Matthew 1:13–15) in 'aviud'. 'Eliud'/'Elihud' shares its compound structure (El + hod, 'God/my-father is splendor') with 'Aviud'/'Avihud' six generations earlier in this same list — whether this reflects a family naming pattern (a name echoing an ancestor's) or simple coincidence of two common name-elements, scripture does not say.
