Gentilic identifier attached to Ahithophel · dominant
In 2 Samuel 15:12, the masculine singular gentilic form follows Ahithophel in the clause where the APB renders “Ahithophel the Gilonite,” while identifying him as David's counselor. In 2 Samuel 23:34, the same morphology again follows Ahithophel in the ancestry statement that the APB renders “Eliam son of Ahithophel the Gilonite.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the term in the repeated phrase “the Gilonite” after Ahithophel. This confirms the verse-level presentation rather than isolating an English equivalent mechanically.
