Pelonite, The
Pelonite, The
Pel’onite, The. Two of David’s men, Helez and Ahijah, are called Pelonites. 1Ch 11:27; 1Ch 11:36. (B.C. about 1015). 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. “Ahijah, the Pelonite” appears in 2Sa 23:34, as “Eliam, the son of Ahithophel, the Gilonite,” of which the former is a corruption.
