pe.lo.ni identifies people by the same gentilic designation in Chronicles' personnel lists.

The term is consistently a masculine singular gentilic designation attached to named men in list and military-administration contexts: Shammoth and Ahijah are so designated in 1 Chronicles 11:27 and 1 Chronicles 11:36, and Helez in 1 Chronicles 27:10.

Senses in use

  1. Gentilic designation for named men · dominant

    All three occurrences use the form as a masculine singular gentilic following a personal name. In 1 Chronicles 11:27 the APB renders “Shammoth the Harodite, Helez the Pelonite”; 1 Chronicles 11:36 similarly names “Ahijah the Pelonite,” while 1 Chronicles 27:10 identifies Helez within the seventh-month division.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the designation as “the Pelonite” after Helez in 1 Chronicles 11:27 and 1 Chronicles 27:10 and after Ahijah in 1 Chronicles 11:36. The verse is read as a whole, but its repeated presentation matches the gentilic morphology.
