Pelonite or Paltite is a designation used for two of David's mighty warriors. Helez the Pelonite (also called the Paltite) is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 11:27 and 27:10 as one of David's thirty mighty warriors and the leader of the seventh division of David's army, which served in the seventh month. Ahijah the Pelonite is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 11:36 as another of David's mighty warriors. The term Pelonite or Paltite likely refers to their place of origin or clan affiliation, though the exact location is uncertain. The inclusion of these warriors in the lists of David's mighty men highlights their exceptional military skills and their loyalty to the king.
