Elichoreph (אֱלִיחֹרֶף) is a Hebrew proper name meaning "God of the harvest" or possibly "God is my reward/compensation." It combines eli (my God) and choreph (autumn, harvest season, or early rain season). The name appears once in Scripture: 1 Kings 4:3, identifying one of Solomon's two secretaries (scribes).
As Solomon's royal secretary, Elichoreph held one of the most strategic administrative positions in the ancient Near East. Royal scribes documented decrees, managed correspondence, and preserved institutional memory. The name "God of the Harvest" or "God Is My Reward" suggests that the fruit of diligent work is credited to God's provision, not merely human effort. The harvest in Hebrew thought was a moment of covenant faithfulness — God had promised: "I will send rain on your land in its season" (Deuteronomy 11:14). Elichoreph's service in Solomon's administration of wisdom and justice extended that harvest theology into human governance. All fruitful work, even bureaucratic and intellectual labor, is a gift from the God of seasons.
