The word Elam (or Elamites) is found almost thirty times in the Bible. Elamites refers to a people group, and Elam to the land area they inhabited.
Elam is also listed several times as a name in a list or genealogy, unrelated to the Elamites (1 Chronicles 8:24; 26:3; Ezra 2:7, 31; 8:31; 10:26, Nehemiah 7:34; 10:14; 12:42).
