Elipheleh was one of the Levite gatekeepers and musicians appointed to play the harp “on the Sheminith” when David brought the ark of the covenant up to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 15:18, 21). The term “Sheminith” likely designates a musical instrument, tuning, or octave register, though its precise meaning is uncertain.
