pelonite, the in Smith's Bible Dictionary
Two of David's men, Helez and Ahijah, are called Pelonites. #1Ch 11:27,36| (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.
