- 1 Samuel 1:1
Now there was a man named Elkanah who was from Ramathaim-zophim in the hill country of Ephraim. He was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 1:12 voices
Is not this very thing a reason for praising the just person, that one can say of him: "There was one man"? We who are still sinners cannot acquire that title of praise because each of us is not one but many. For looking at me is the face of one who is now angry, and then sad, a little later happy, and then disturbed and then gentle, at times concerned with the things of God and actions leading to eternal life, but shortly after doing things based on greed or the glory of this world.
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON 1 KINGS 1.4, 253Patristic
Now there was a man of Ramathaimzophim, of Mount Ephraim,....

- 1 Samuel 16:6
When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and said, “Surely here before the LORD is His anointed.”
Commentary on 1 Samuel 16:61 voice
Do not say, "I do not mind a mere priest, if he is a celibate, and a religious [person], and of angelic life; for it would be a sad thing for me to be defiled even in the moment of my cleansing." Do not ask for credentials of the preacher or the baptizer. For another is his judge and the examiner of what you can't see. For humans look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.
Gregory of Nazianzus· ON HOLY BAPTISM, ORATION 40.26, 390Patristic
- 1 Chronicles 6:27

When David went to Ziklag, these men of Manasseh defected to him: Adnah, Jozabad, Jediael, Michael, Jozabad, Elihu, and Zillethai, chiefs of thousands in Manasseh.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 12:201 voice
As he went to Ziklag, there fell to him of Manasseh,.... Others besides the former, who joined him when he went with the Philistines; these joined him when he was dismissed from them, and was returning to Ziklag: namely: Adnah, and Jozabad, and Jediael, and Michael, and Jozabad, and Elihu, and Zilthai, captains of the thousands that were of Manasseh; that tribe being, as the rest were, divided into hundreds and thousands; these were captains over the thousands of the militia of the tribe.

- 1 Chronicles 26:7
Shemaiah’s sons were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his brothers were Elihu and Semachiah, also capable men.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 26:71 voice
The sons of Shemaiah,.... The same before mentioned, the firstborn of Obededom: Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, and Elzabad, whose brethren were strong men; Elihu and Semachiah; which may rather denote their valour and courage, as before, though strength of body was needful, particularly to open and shut the doors of the temple, which, Josephus (r) says, required the assistance of twenty men. (r) Contr. Apion. l. 2. sect. 9.

- 1 Chronicles 27:18
over Judah was Elihu, one of David’s brothers; over Issachar was Omri son of Michael;
- Job 32:1
So these three men stopped answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Commentary on Job 32:11 voice
These three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just in his own eyes. In the expression, because he seemed to be just in his own eyes, the author of this sacred history intended to refer to the opinion of Job's friends, and did not himself accuse him of being puffed up with pride.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXIII, 604Patristic
- Job 33:1
“But now, O Job, hear my speech, and listen to all my words.
Commentary on Job 33:11 voice
Wherefore, Job, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. Behold, I have opened my mouth; let my tongue speak in my throat. But in the midst of these sentences which he utters, based on solid truth, he again bursts out into words of pride, saying, Wherefore, Job, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words. Behold, I have opened my mouth; let my tongue speak in my throat.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXIII, 604Patristic
- Job 34:1
Then Elihu continued:
Commentary on Job 34:12 voices
Furthermore Elihu answered and said.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Eliu also pronounced and said these things likewise. For what is meant by this word 'pronounced' but the puffing up of pride? in order that his words, which spring from the deep root of pride, might come forth as it were with a degree of majesty and distinction. It is thus in truth that all men of arrogance are wont to speak.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXIV, 604Patristic
- Job 35:1
And Elihu went on to say:
Commentary on Job 35:11 voice
Eliu therefore spake these words again. Every one, who says many things, is anxious to be always beginning, in his speech, in order, by this very beginning, to keep his hearers in suspense, so that they may be the more attentively silent, the more they expect, as it were, to hear some new thing. But Eliu, finishing one subject, begins another without delay, in order that his loquacity may be continued without limit, by beginnings being constantly joined on.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXVI, 604Patristic
- Job 36:1
And Elihu continued:
Commentary on Job 36:11 voice
Eliu also added, and spake thus; Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee. He had already said much, and hopes that he will be borne with yet a little longer; because, namely, haughty men consider that they suffer a heavy loss, if they confine their skill by speaking within brief limits. For they believe, that they shew themselves to be more learned, the more they have been able to lay open their minds in multiplicity of much speaking.
Gregory the Dialogist· Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXVI, 604Patristic
- Job 37:1
“At this my heart also pounds and leaps from its place.
Commentary on Job 37:11 voice
At this my heart trembled, and was moved from its place. Because, while fear strikes the mind, it estranges it from itself, the Latin translations sometimes call an ecstasy fear, as is said by the Psalmist, I said in my fear, I am cast out from the sight of Thine eyes; [Ps. 31, 22] Where, namely, it could have been called not fear, but a transport ['excessus']. But fear is in that place used for transport, because the mind is estranged from itself in fear, as it is a transport.
