Eliel is mentioned in 1Ch.15.9, 11 as one of the Levite leaders during the reign of King David. He, along with other Levite leaders, was appointed to assist in bringing the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem. The ark, which symbolized God's presence among His people, had been neglected for many years. David sought to restore proper worship by bringing the ark to Jerusalem. Eliel, as a Levite leader, played a significant role in this sacred task. The Levites were responsible for carrying the ark and ensuring its safe transportation. Eliel's involvement in this event highlights the importance of the Levites in the religious life of Israel during David's reign.
