Gilo, Giloh, Gilonite

A village, and those living there, in the mountains of southern Judah (Joshua 15:51). King David's counselor Ahithophel was a Gilonite (2 Samuel 15:12; 23:34). Today, researchers believe Giloh may have been located at a place now called Khirbet Jala, which is just northeast of the city of Hebron.
