Pelonite
Pelonite
(Heb. with the art. hap-Peloni’, , as if from a place or man Pelon. otherwise unknown; Sept. n v. r. , 1Ch 11:27; , 1Ch 11:36; , 1Ch 27:10; Vulg. Phalonites, Phelonites, Phallonites). Two of David’s mighty men, Helez and Ahijah, are called Pelonites (1Ch 11:27; 1Ch 11:36). From 1Ch 27:10 it appears that the former was of the tribe of Ephraim, and Pelonite would therefore be an appellation derived from his place of birth or residence. But in the Targum of rabbi Joseph it is evidently regarded as a patronymic, and is rendered in the last-mentioned passage of the seed of Pelan. In the list of 2 Samuel 23 Helez is called (2Sa 23:26) the Paltite, that is, as Bertheau (on 1 Chronicles 11) conjectures, of Beth-Palet, or Beth-Phelet, in the south of Judah. But it seems probable that Pelonite is the correct reading. SEE PALTITE. Ahijah the Pelonite appears in 2Sa 23:34 as Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite, of which the former is a corruption; Ahijah forming the first part of Ahithophel, annd Pelonite and Gilonite differing only by and – If we follow the Sept. of 1 Chronicles 27, the place from which Helez took his name would be of the form Phallu, but there is no trace of it elsewhere, and the Sept. must have had a differently pointed text. In Heb. , peloni, as an appellative, corresponds to the Greek , such a one: it still exists in Arabic and in the Spanish Don Fulano, Mr. So-and-so.

Pelonite
1Ch 11:27; 1Ch 27:10. (See PALTITE; HELEZ.) A designation from the place of birth or residence. For “Ahijah the Pelonite” (1Ch 11:36) 2Sa 23:34 has “Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Shilohite,” the Chronicles reading is probably a corruption of text.
