'Elders' in the Bible

Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' [houses] of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of the city of David, which is Zion.

All the elders of Israel came: and the Levites took up the ark;

Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
