Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Pelatiah, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context. However, the concept of deliverance, as implied by the name Pelatiah, can be related to Greek terms such as σωτηρία (soteria, G4991), meaning "salvation" or "deliverance," which is a central theme in the New Testament.

Usage: Pelatiah is used as a proper noun, specifically a personal name, in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Pelatiah is a name attributed to two individuals in the Old Testament:

• Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah: He is mentioned in the book of Ezekiel as one of the leaders of the people. In Ezekiel 11:1, Pelatiah is identified as one of the twenty-five men seen in a vision by the prophet Ezekiel, standing at the east gate of the LORD's house. These men were leaders who gave wicked counsel to the city. In Ezekiel 11:13, Pelatiah's sudden death during the vision prompts Ezekiel to intercede for the remnant of Israel, fearing the complete destruction of the people. The passage highlights the theme of divine judgment and the role of leaders in influencing the spiritual state of the nation.

• Pelatiah, a descendant of Simeon: This Pelatiah is listed in the genealogies of the tribe of Simeon in 1 Chronicles 4:42. He is noted as one of the leaders who led a group of Simeonites to Mount Seir, where they defeated the remnant of the Amalekites and settled there. This account underscores the ongoing conflict between Israel and the Amalekites and the expansion of the Simeonite territory.
