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.
