Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 11:36
Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,
36. Ahijah the Pelonite ] A mutilated reading of 2Sa 23:34, “Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite.” For “Ahithophel” see 1Ch 27:33, note. “Gilonite” means “inhabitant of Giloh,” a town in the hill country of Judah (Jos 15:51).

(36) Hepher the Mecherathite.Wanting in the present text of Samuel. Mecherah is unknown as a place, and a comparison with Samuel (1Ch. 11:34) suggests Hepher the Maachathite, i.e., of Abelbeth-Maachah, or perhaps the Syrian state of Maachah (2Sa. 10:8).
Ahijah the Pelonite.Instead of this Samuel has Eliam son of Ahithophel the Gilonite. For Ahithophel, see 2Sa. 15:31.
The Pelonitei.e., so-and-so, may indicate either that Ahithophels name had become obscure in the chroniclers MS., or that he was unwilling to mention the traitor. Ahijah (Jah is a brother) and Eliam (God is a kinsman) might be names of one person.
