Several men named Elam appear in Scripture, most prominently in the genealogies of those who returned from exile with Zerubbabel and Ezra. The most notable bearer confessed with shame that his family had intermarried with foreign women during the exile. The name also belonged to descendants of Benjamin and various returnees who helped rebuild the temple.

"Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered Ezra, “We have trespassed against our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land. Yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing."
