Strong's Lexicon Giloni: Giloni Original Word: גּילנִי Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: Giyloniy Pronunciation: ghee-lo-nee Phonetic Spelling: (ghee-lo-nee') Definition: a Gilonite Meaning: A Gilonite; an inhabitant or native of Gilon. Word Origin: Derived from גִּילוֹן (Gilon), a location in ancient Judah. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the term "Gilonite" as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical origin. However, the concept of identifying individuals by their place of origin is present in the Greek New Testament, such as in the use of terms like "Nazarene" (Ναζωραῖος, Strong's Greek 3480) to describe Jesus' association with Nazareth. Usage: The term "Gilonite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to individuals from the town of Gilon. It is specifically used to describe Ahithophel, a counselor of King David. Context: The term גּילנִי (Gilonite) is a proper noun used to identify individuals originating from the town of Gilon, which is located in the hill country of Judah. The most notable Gilonite mentioned in the Bible is Ahithophel, who served as a counselor to King David. Ahithophel's wisdom was highly esteemed, and his counsel was considered as if one had inquired of the word of God (2 Samuel 16:23, BSB). However, Ahithophel later betrayed David by siding with Absalom during Absalom's rebellion (2 Samuel 15:12, BSB). This act of treachery ultimately led to Ahithophel's downfall and suicide (2 Samuel 17:23, BSB). The mention of Ahithophel as a Gilonite highlights his geographical and cultural background, providing context to his role and actions within the narrative of David's reign.
