Son of Obed-Edom, a temple gatekeeper

Who is Peullethai in the Bible?

Peullethai was the eighth son of Obed-Edom, a Levite who served as a gatekeeper in the temple during King David's reign (1 Chronicles 26:5). As part of Obed-Edom's family, Peullethai was appointed to help guard the southern gate of the temple and its storehouse. The Bible records that God blessed Obed-Edom with eight sons, including Peullethai, likely as a reward for Obed-Edom's faithful service in caring for the Ark of the Covenant. Though Peullethai is mentioned only briefly by name, he represents the faithful lineage of temple workers who maintained the sacred spaces of Israel's worship during David's dynasty.
