Pelonite, The
        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.
