Quick answer
Elioenai's sons were Hodaviah, Eliashib, Pelaiah, Akkub, Johanan, Delaiah, and Anani, seven in all. This concludes the genealogy of David's descendants.
Overview
These seven sons bring the Davidic line to its furthest point in Chronicles, several generations after the return from exile. The Chronicler closes the royal genealogy, having traced David's house from Hebron through exile and restoration. The unbroken line stands as enduring assurance that God would fulfill His promise of an everlasting throne, realized in Jesus the Messiah.
