Pelaiah is mentioned in the genealogy of King David's descendants in 1Ch.3.24. He is listed as one of the six sons of Elioenai, who was a descendant of David through the line of Solomon and Jehoiachin. This genealogy traces David's lineage after the Babylonian exile, suggesting that Pelaiah lived in the post-exilic period. However, no other details are provided about Pelaiah's life or role. His inclusion in the genealogy may serve to demonstrate the continuation of David's line even after the exile.
